Technical Question :)

[thebarterersdog]

Not sure if anyone out there can help me, lol, but does anyone know how to make your emails received pop up on bar at the bottom of your screen so you can stay in tuned with events as they happen? I can't seem to recall how to set up my outlook or ebay emails so that they pop up in a small box at the lower right hand corner... lol ya, ya, real technical sounding lol

When in MS-Outlook, if I click on the Tools tab, I get "Options" at the bottom.

Then I click on Options, the first tab is "Preferences"

The first section is "e-mail" with a "e-mail options" link

Don't you see the same thing?

Do you have Outlook (you pay for that program) or Outlook-Express (free) ?

In any case, if it does not work for you, while in MS-Outlook, click on "Help" and enter "envelope" in the box.  Take it from there.

[pierrelebel]

Do you see Help ?

Try this;

Control panel - personalization - task bar and start menu - 

On pop up screen click customize button in notification area

next pop up screen tick always show icons and notifications on the taskbar.
