Hello,

I use Yahoo Email.  Is there a program [hopefully free] that will give me an audio notification [or other kind] when I receive new email?   I'm so tired of always having to log in every time I want to check my email.   I googled this question but the ones that are available do not appear to be compatible with Vista.  

Thanks for the help

Try this Yahoo! Mail Checker Widget .. it works well for me and is a free download:

Thank you Nev.  I will try it.

Nev,

I tried the Softpedia mail checker site you suggested.   No luck.  There are 3 locations to download from.  The first one kept bouncing me back to the main page.  I'm using firefox.   The second is infested with 4 computer threats and is deemed "unsafe".  After seeing that I did not even bother trying the 3rd option.

Hi Beagle,

Sorry you could not download that particular Mail Checker, perhaps they have discontinued supplying it .. I downloaded exactly this one a few years ago and it has never been a problem in any way.

If you search for Mail Checking widgets on here: http://widgets.yahoo.com/search/?q=mail checker&s=rel&os=win&p=1   you will find some other choices.

Cheers Nev.

Thanks for the suggestions Nev.  I found one called Pop Peeper.  It's doing the job and I'm okay with it.

Happy to hear you are sorted
