    Well the title just about says it all.
    I wanted to play with the "new email" feature on AlienFX to trigger a light response when Outlook 07 received a new email.
    I don't know what else to do to get it to work, it is not now.
    What should I do?
    p.s. I know most of you guys hate Afx!

    I got it to work eventually, you need to make the account your default account on outlook. That's basicly it, also make the light theme you chose for email in a loop, that way it will keep giving a different light until you've read the mail. otherwise your keyboard will just go black.

    It wont loop b/c I have Gmail on my Outlook.
    I have edited Gmail to use IMAP.
    Either Gmail or the IMAP support takes Gmail out of the "Personal Folders" Tree and puts it in a folder/tree of its own.

    Q:How do I get Outlook to look at Gmail or put Gmail where Outlook 'looks'?
    Outlook does loop when I use a crappy POP3 college email I have, even when that account is not the default it will loop until read.
    p.s. gmail is set as the defualt account
    Q:Any ideas at all?
    Thanks guys
