Client-based notification tool for Outlook folders, including Exchange Server public folders. Now supports Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007. Freeware. | |
This free plugin will notify you every time an important email comes. You just enter some text, e.g. a name, email or some words from a subject or body, and the add-in alerts you once an e-mail containing that text arrives. The alert will come on top of all other open programs, so you will never miss it! The add-in can find a message in any Inbox folder, even if it gets to Junk, or is moved to some other folder by your Outlook rule. It works with Outlook 2003 - 2010 and Exchange servers. | |
When new e-mail arrives, Mail Alert will display a non-intrusive desktop alert containing essential information from the e-mail received, so you can avoid the constant shuffle between work and e-mail. Mail Alert can also alert you to an incoming e-mail by playing a sound, running a program or displaying an icon in the notification area (system tray). | |
