I was hoping I could setup a new email alert icon on the very bottom bar,
where the Windows Start button is on far left. Is there such a customizing
feature for Outlook Express ?? I would appreciate any input. I don't want
sound, but it would be nice to see if there is any new unread mail without
having to open Outlook Express. Thanks,
 
Outlook Express must be open in order to get an email alert.

It's your E-mail client which goes to the mail server and looks for
mail. In your case that's Outlook Express. So without Outlook Express
being open, your computer doesn't know there's mail for you.

I believe there is some third-party software which isn't an E-mail
client, but checks to see if you have mail, but I don't really see any
particular value to doing this, and I've never used anything like it.

I'm curious as to what value you see in doing this, rather than just
using your E-mail client to retrieve the mail.

If, for some reason, you don't want to leave your mail client running in
the background, it would give an alert whenever mail arrived, but if
you leave your mail client running it will "beep" you when mail arrives.

Yes, but I'm trying to find out what he, or anyone else, might see as
that "some reason."

I personally can't think of one. Can you help?

Perhaps the security settings in his mail client aren't set correctly
and he's concerned about getting a virus or malware. I wonder if
something like mailwasher would work for him. At least he could view
what's "waiting" and delete it before it hits his hard drive.
