The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 2.0
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 2.0a
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 2.0b
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.0
This article was previously published under Q59138 SUMMARY
Under the When New Mail Is Received category in the Microsoft Mail
Preferences dialog box, if any of the following options do not behave
as expected
Display Notifier Window
Display Flashing Menu Bar Icon
Sound Chime
Display Urgent Messages Immediately
the problem may be related to the Microsoft Mail desk accessory (DA).
If a program or DA that allows a desk accessory to be repositioned or
renamed is used to alter the Mail DA, incompatibilities with the
actual Mail DA may result. If it is named anything other than
"Microsoft Mail 2.0" for version 2.00 and "Microsoft Mail" for version
3.00, the When New Mail Is Received options will not work correctly.
Any trailing or extra leading characters will also cause problems.
For example, Suitcase II is a program that can cause this problem. If
the Mail DA's name is changed or if the DA is forced to the top of the
list, the When New Mail Is Received options will not work correctly.
