Visual email notifications disappeared...

[catharine]

Hi. I switched over to Windows 7 a few weeks ago, and one of the things I can't figure out how to get working again is the visual notification that a new email has come in. I can't remember exactly what happened before, but I think that a number popped up or the icon was animated somehow? It's probably just a setting somewhere, but I've gone through everything a few times now and I can't see an option for it....any chance someone knows how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi catharine & welcome to Poco Forums,

Did you have a look into Tools > Options > Interface Options.
Uncheck 'Disable Email Console'.

Or have a look into your accounts. Edit your account and go to the Notification tab. Uncheck or check whatever's your preference.

Hope that helps.

Hey Eric -- thanks :-)

I just checked out the settings you suggested, and Disable Email Console was already unchecked and everything seemed right in my account settings, too. But while I was in there, I noticed an option to have my Scroll Lock light up, and it works (and it's kinda fun) -- so I'll keep it! Maybe the notification is just an issue with Windows 7... Anyway, thanks for your help!

Hey Eric -- thanks

You're welcome catharine.

Glad you found something which works.

Maybe the notification is just an issue with Windows 7... Anyway, thanks for your help!

Could be an issue with Win7, but I'm unable to check it. Still on Vista.

Have a fine weekend.
