    Basically it's like this.
    You know when you have received an e-mail, your msn messenger or yahoo messenger notify you in that small tiny little window that appears on the bottom right hand corner stating that you have e-mail? Or when you sign in as well? (Only for a while though)

    What i want is the same thing but;
    1st - For outlook express
    2nd - Not for a while, like 5-10 seconds.
    But make it like a HUGE NOTICE BOARD which occupies the ENTIRE SCREEN saying that YOU HAVE ONE EMAIL! and it won't disappear UNTIL you have opened that e-mail!

    Is there such a program?
    PS: Sorry if I couldn't explained it any better
    and my apology as well if i post this in the wrong section~

    And Yahoo, of course, has Yahoo Messenger, which has numerous options regarding how new email notifications are displayed -- probably more options than most.

    I know you can do that with outlook 2007.

    The best you can do is to set the "auto check e-mail" time to 5 seconds.
