reminds me of the ones that wanted to reply with a message when they were
out of town, but didn't realize they'd need to leave their computer on. G

"freeway29",
OE has to be open to get e-mail notification. It can be minimized to the
Taskbar, but must be open.
Can an air-conditioner cool you if it is not running? Same thing.

i know you got a sound and a tray icon but the only way you see that is
when
you hit your email button to open outlook express 6 and then it checks
it and
lets you know if theres any new mail, what i want to know does it check
it
and let you know without you having to open up the program.

For more detailed types of notifications, both auditory and visual, see

Hey wouldnt it be nice if they added a feature in outlook express 6
to
alert you of new emails hmm that would be good.
Hello freeway,
I see that everyone is telling you that OE has what you looking for,
but no one is telling you how to activate the Option.
Try this and see if works:
In OE, click on Tools/Options/General tab,
have a choice under the Options "Send/Receive Messages"
Good Luck, x@y
