Outlook XP - New mail notification when Working Offline? 1

[AZiff]

I'm wondering if it's possible to get the 'New mail has arrived' notification, even when working offline.

I have a Send/Receive scheduled to run every few minutes and mails are being brought into my inbox. If I am working on an different application however, I only see these new messages when I go back into Outlook, and sometimes this can be quite a while after the mail has arrived.

Anybody know any tips for this?

Outlook will only notify you when it is running. If you quit the app, then SEND/RECEIVE is NOT working and won't work until you open it up again. If you minimize Outlook, instead of closing it, it should alert you while working within other applications. Personally, I use a program called EPROMPTER, which is free, small and sits in your system tray. You can have it poll and alert you to new mail and then open Outlook to retrieve and view them. Hope this helps.
