Thanks. I've actually already tried both of those with no success.

Strange stuff:

New mail sound - The sound was working at first (I may have played with some
Trend pc-cillin settings before it stopped working)

New mail icon - to try to fix this I've gone to Start Menu | Taskbar |
Properties | Customize Notifications to set '...you have new email...' to
'always show', and there isn't even an option there for new email.

Try disabling your antivirus software. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Also check that a sound is set under Control Panel | Sounds | New mail
notification.

I just got a new Dell XPS M170 and have now spent about 5 hours trying to
figure out why I cannot get a new message letter icon notification when I
receive an email.

Not only that, but I can no longer get a sound notifcation (that worked
until a couple of hours ago)

btw I've tried this with the installed IE6 and the newly downloaded IE7 -
no
difference.

It sounds like you were all close to figuring it out - any more info?

thanks

Hello,

I am using Outlook Express on my new Dell computer, running Windows XP.
Before, I always got a small envelope icon on the bottom toolbar, near
the
clock, whenever a new e-mail was received and unread. Now I cannot get
that
icon. I get no notification of new mail. The Earthlink and Dell people
tell
me that it should be there. All of my preferences on Outlook Express are
correct I think. Can someone please help me? Thanks a lot!!
