Is there any other way that I can be prompted that I have received mail e.g. verbally or message also.

I'm used to Microsoft Outlook, which has a little envelope appear in the bottom right hand corner of the desktop when new mail arrives. Does GroupWise have their own feature similar to that? It's hard to just periodically maximize GroupWise to check for new mail. Any suggestions? Oh, just to note, my computer is old and doesn't have sound. I'm hoping the new mail alert is visual or well as makes noise.

A:
Yes, GroupWise has a feature called Notify. Check out the following links for information about GroupWise Notify and how to start using it:
