AFAIK, OE has no settings for IMAP alerts either way. As IMAP alerts are
sent by the IMAP server, I suppose you'd have to disable them serverside,

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown
your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place.

- WinXP SP2 only: If your machine is fully up-to-date at Windows Update,
installing the following patch (KB918766) will help to avoid such data loss

This patch will be included in the next Cumulative Update for Outlook
Express/WinXP SP2.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

have experienced this problem with different types of alert messages from

other fix to this problem?

I have searched the net for an answer to my question but cannot find any.

I'm using WinXP SP2, OE 6.0 (IE 6.0).
