Youve Got Mail is a program that tells you when it is time to start your e-mail client and read your e-mail - in this way you dont have to keep your default e-mail program running all the time.

You can let the program check as many e-mail accounts as you like, and when you have got e-mail different sounds and animations can be played.

Youve Got Mail works with Hotmail, Live, Gmail, Yahoo and many more email providers.

Once reported, our staff will be notified and the comment will be reviewed.

The alert plays when you select it so you can hear how it sounds.

Change where you hear alerts: Normally you play sound effects through your computers internal speakers, but if another sound output device is available, you can choose it from the Play sound effects through pop-up menu.

The alert volume is relative to your computers output volume, so if you lower the computers volume, alert sounds also play more quietly.

To turn off sound effects, deselect the Play user interface sound effects checkbox.
