Can I make my computer alert me to a new email?

How do I get my computer to make a noise when I have a new incoming email?Thanks!?

  • I can't remember how to activate the audio alert for an incoming email. I'm not able to select the audio alert setting in Yahoo Messenger Preferences.Does anyone know how to access preferences successfully?It's driving me crazy!!! Thank you to anyone who can help me in advance! Taz

  • Answer:

    You will need to have Yahoo Instant Messenger open in the background to hear the sounds. 1. With Messenger open, click on "Messenger." 2. Click on "Preferences." 3. Click on "Alerts & Sounds." 4. Check the box next to "Enable alert sounds." 5. Check the box next to "Alert me when someone signs on or off by showing a message at the bottom right corner." 6. Check the box next to "Playing a Sound." 7. Click the "Browse" button to choose the sound you prefer. 8. Click OK to save and close your preferences.

I opened my Messenger, then clicked on Messenger, then Preferences, then Alerts and Sounds. It should list about the alert for mail, mine does.
