that's ok; the original issue is still what i'd like to resolve...I do get
the New Item Alerts message as outlined previously but it seems to defeat the
purpose of it if I can only view messages, no Delete No replying. I have to
close out and return to Outlook's "main" window and do all tasks from there.
Is this all the feature allows and I could be misunderstsanding its use?
Thanks

Hi:
Unfortunately no little "X". These are the preferences I have set up:under
Adv Email OptionsWhen New Items ArriveShow Envelope in Notification Area
set to 7 sec/20% transparency...however. this kind of Alert NEVER
happens. I
always get the pop up dialog box with New Item Alerts and the problems
already listed...am I missing some Preference? thnx
