RE: new mail box pop up
hey, im new to giving advice so dont be suprised if this doesnt work, if you go into "my computer", "control panel" and "install/uninstall programs", and double click on msn messenger (whateva version your using) and click repair then that may help, just a thought. if that does'nt work make sure that in your personal setting's in "alerts and sounds" that the box that says "display an alert when e-mail is recieved" is tiked.

I think you should try my second advice first becoz repairing it could remove programs from msn:S

i already tried the alerts & sounds thing its always been ticked .. & i re-installed the msn 6.2 & Messenger Plus .. but still it didn't work =/
i didn't repair it tho - i just checked on my control panel & it says "change" & when i click it it just re-installs it again =[

i do get the notification everytime i sign in but i still wanna know why it doesnt do it while im on msn .... it doesnt make sense cause it always did it before .. just recently it stopped for some reason

First things first....

1) What MSN Messenger version are you using?
see the menu Help > About MSN Messenger

2) What Messenger Plus! version are you using?
see the menu Plus! > About...

3) What email-popup toast do you want? The one from Plus! or the one from MSN Messenger? In other words, what kind of emailaddresses do you want to check? You hotmail address or an alternative POP3 address?

Roll Eyes  RE: new mail box pop up
Hi there, I never realized that I could set up Messenger Plus to notify me when i get email from another POP3 account.  I want to set up my yahoo account but I am  confused on what information they want in the Messenger Plus options area for this??

Can someone give me a link or forum where I can find out what information i need to input?

Server?? is this my ISP?
email address?  my yahoo account?

log in and password? for my yahoo account? or isp?

Thanks, I know a lot of questions but havent been able to find information on this.

Cheers

For Yahoo! Mail, firstly, you need to go to your Mail Options page, then click on POP Access and Forwarding under Management. Then, in Step 1, choose Web and POP Access. In Step 2, choose HTML Messages. Remember to click the Submit button.
After that, a page will be shown to you. Almost in the middle of the page, theres a table, titled 'Server Settings'. DO NOT CLOSE THIS PAGE YET.

Then, go to the Plus Preference page (Plus!->Preferences), then the POP3 Email tab. Ensure that the 'Enable POP3 e-mail checker' is ticked.
Then, for the Server field, type in the information given in the table at the webpage just now, specifically the Incoming Mail (POP3) Server row, which is usually pop.mail.yahoo.com, unless yours is a local mail account, like mine, which is pop.mail.yahoo.com.sg.

Leave the port 110 field alone.
For the Login & password, type your Yahoo! ID in the first field, then your Yahoo! password in the second field.

This should let Plus check your Yahoo! Mail account for any new mails.

some e-mails can take a while to actually come to you, when i am talking to one of my friends we send each other e-mails heapz and its instant, however with some of my other friends there e-mails wont come until the next day(are your e-mails there just not being alerted or are they not actually being recieved).
