what do you mean ?

Hi repairer :o)

Do you mean you want to change the sound when an e-mail arrives to actually saying to you "You've got mail"? or is it not actually making any noise?

Forgot to ask what e-mail service do you use? Is it Outlook express?

Hello REPAIRER , nice to meet you , do you have msn messenger because , if you do , leave it open and a little box on the bottom right of your screen will pop up when you have mail ;-) x

you should download "incredimail" it has various "you got mail" alerts and lots more besides

First download an email notification, remember where you save it.
Go to control panel, system sounds, scroll to new mail notification, browse, find the downloaded sound and apply.

See if this helps;

You need to find the sound you want first and store it onto your computer. I typed in wav sounds into google and picked one I liked (Mine says "Congratulations Skippy, you've got mail!") Once you have stored it to your computer Put it in a folder you know you can find like under 'My music' for example) You need to do the following steps;

Click on Start menu
Click on control panel
Click on Sounds, speech and audio devices
Click on Sounds and aduio devices
Click on Sounds tab along the top
Scroll down the list until you find New mail notification, this is the one for outlook express
Click on it so it is highlighted, then click the browse button and look for where the sound you saved is stored (under My Music for example)
Double click it so it saves into your sounds devices bit, click apply and then send mail to yourself and see if it has worked :o)

Print this off and follow the instructions and fingers crossed it's worked!!!! :o)

Here's a website with some e-mail notfication sounds to get you started :o)
