Netscape 7 Mail Nofification

Postby Kit » Sat 09 Nov, 2002 7:37 am

Can someone tell me if Netscape7 has a mail notification option,and if so how do I activate it?
It is quite different from my old Netscape 4.72 & 4.79 and I am learning some about it. Thanks a lot.

Hope all of you are well.

You need to take a look at the Mail and Newsgroups settings in
the Prefs dialog. (Edit - Preferences - Mail & Newsgroups) and
you should see something like this appear. . . Hope this helps.

I believe that you must also have a sound selected for "New Mail Notification" under Sounds found (in Win98 and Win2000) in Control Panel in "Sounds and Multimedia." I belive the mail notification only works if you have your Mail window in NS7 open, unlike NS4 which notified you regardless of whether you had the E-mail window open or not.

Mail notification

That sure would be a neat thing to add to the next upgrade of NS7. Does Mozilla have this capability and, if so, can we add it to NS7 much like adding the adblocker?

Kit,
anything from 4.7 to 4.8(the latest) are just about the same, except for fixes and tweaks.
I have been knocking Mail Notification,since it came out. If you are satisfied with something that will not show anything notification, until you are In Mail, where you can see what you have, anyway, and having several accounts like me , it tells me only of the last arrived message, then you have notification.
The envelope which shows up in the systray, and persists there, even if you exit mail, tells me only that I have not opened the latest e-mail. Then, it will be gone, and it will be gone the moment that you leave Netscape.
So, it is a useless attempt to appease the masses which have this requirement. There is a way to set up to play a .wav sound, but again it tells what is already obvious. I am using ePrompter, which has notification consisting of a numbered and color coded sign, which rotate till all up to 16 accounts have been shown, so a green color is Yahoo,yellow is Softhome, etc., and I have azero and an one, respectively, telling me of the unopened message. I can have a different sound for each one, but even they can't handle it if I have two or more accounts with new mail at the same time. But, they have a different sound, yet. Netscape should have something like that, and I would call it ,really, mail notification.
