How can i get my computer to send alerts when i recieve an e-mail,a noise perhaps?

If the program has the option available, it will be in the settings. I am not familiar with Yahoo broad band so I cannot tell you where to look. Generally tools, or preferences.

Okay: Open Yahoo messenger and click on the word messenger (top left). Click on `privacy options`. Click on `alerts and sounds` Click on `I receive a message in Yahoo mail` Put a tick in these 3 boxes: `Playing a sound` `Showing an icon in the system tray` `Showing a message at the right bottom corner of my screen` You will see a `right facing arrow next to browse, click on this and listen to see if you have a message or not. If not, click on browse and choose one. You can also use your own sound if you have any on your hard drive. Once finished, click `Apply` and click `OK` Here are some email alert sounds you can download and use:http://newmail.monsterserve.com/ Right click on any you choose and save to my documents. Then follow the browse in Yahoo messenger to choose the sound. :-)
