Matt, I have a Gmail account and love it more than anything! My question is, how can I get it to alert me when mail arrives? You know, something like YahooPOPs that Chris featured on Call for Help a year or so back. Please help me.
Well Anthony, I personally have been quite found of a program called Gmail Notifier. Unlike all of the other programs out there that claim to work, this is an actual tool offered by Google to alert you when e-mail arrives in your Gmail account. The program will give you a visual alert and show you the subject of the incoming e-mail. When you click the link that appears, it will whisk you away to your Gmail account so you can see what the latest messages are. Hope this helps!
Do you have an IT-related question? Perhaps you are just burnt out on writing on the walls with crayons? Whatever the comments may be, drop me a line and you, too, can “Just Ask Matt!”

Is there a software whereby I can find out if my sent mail message has been opened and / or read, with or without alerting the recepient?

you’ve got to be kidding me. A ‘visual’ notification? Give me a break. Hotmail has an audio notification, so we know it can be done. gmail sucks.
