OE has no spam program built-in. When you here the new mail sound, do you
also see the new mail icon in the SysTray? If not, then either you are not
hearing the new mail notification sound, or something else is also using
it.

Control Panel | Sounds And Audio Devices | Sounds. Many actions play a
sound. Click on each one that has a speaker icon and then the arrow to
the left of the Browse button to hear the sound. Any of them match the new
mail sound?

Thank you Bruce

I have tried all those things just now but still no good.

I just wonder whether there is an in built spam restriction that I am
not
aware of ????

Do any of your folders have a + sign in front of them? Click on it to

subfolders.

Tools | Options | general. Check: Automatically expand folders with
unread
messages.

Every new message will trigger the alert regardless of what folder they
go
to. And any folder with an unread message will show the number of
unread
messages with a (X) with X = the unread messages. But you won't see
that
if the folder is not showing. (Expanded).

Hi

I hear the sound of a few emails coming through but they are not
visible to
me.

Maybe they are going to spam or something but I do not know where I
can
find
a spam folder either.

Some people have sent emails to me but I have not received them.

Please help !
