Program
Description MailAlert is a convenient utility
for Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/XP and Windows NT 4.0
operating systems that notifies you when you have received
electronic mail. It works with most
e-mail programs, and has the advantage of taking
up very little memory when in use.
MailAlert displays an icon in the notification area
of your Windows task bar. When you receive a message,
the icon will flash to indicate that you have new mail.
Custom Notification
You can configure MailAlert to beep, play a sound or
video file, or run any program or document when you
receive new mail. You can also have a message box with
the envelope information (author, subject, and date)
of any new messages displayed.
We mean CUSTOM!
MailAlert can notify you differently based on the message
author, subject, or specific text within the message
itself. For example, you could play a special sound
file when you get e-mail from your boss, or execute
a program to beep your pager if MailAlert finds the
word "Pager" in the subject or body of the message.
If you get reminders to perform activities, like filling
out a time sheet, MailAlert can open your TimeSheet
program for you when it receives the reminder.
You can even choose to set criteria and select no action
for the notification, effectively telling MailAlert
not to notify you of certain messages. (I use this for
my Mailing Lists - I like the messages, but I don't
need to know about them the minute they arrive, so I
set MailAlert to ignore messages from the list server.)
The combinations, and the possibilites, are endless.
