Can anyone tell me how to set up email alert on my computer. Thank You?

Do you mean - so that your PC will tell you when you have mail ?





Your email client (eg Outlook, or Outlook Express) may let you set this so that it plays a sound when email arrives in your inbox.





If you use Outlook use the Menu bar to go to Tools %26gt; Options %26gt; Mail Delivery and then check the "check for new mail every ?? minutes" - setting how often you want it to check - the default 10 minutes is probably a good setting to start with.


You also nee to go to Tools %26gt; Options and on the first Preferences tab, click on E-mail options and then check the "display a notification message when new mail arrives" option.





I am using Outlook 2000 so if you are using a different version there may be differences in what you see on screen.





If you use Yahoo Mail you can set alerts for new mail - visit this page to find out how - http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya...





I don't know you can do this if you use web-based email with your ISP - visit their site and search for "mail delivery alert" and see what they say.





Good luck.
