If you spend a lot of time at the computer and need to regularly check your email inbox, it is best to set up an automatic email alert so you don't miss an important email.
Instructions
Step 1
If your computer is running Windows 7, install the Mail Gadget, a small application that will be placed on your desktop. You can use gadgets: Mail2web, WpCorpMailCheck, Gmail Counter, POP3Cecker and others, which can be found on specialized sites www.wingadget.ru, www.sevengadget.ru and similar web resources.
Step 2
After installing the gadget, proceed to configure it. Enter your address and password in the appropriate fields, set the frequency of checking for new letters, select a sound signal to notify about the arrival of mail.
Step 3
In the settings of some gadgets, you also need to specify the addresses of the POP3 and SMTP protocols. In the settings of your mailbox on the website of the mail service, you can find this information. As a rule, the protocols are of the following form: pop3.mail.ru, pop3.yandex.ru, smtp.mail.ru, smtp.yandex.ru, etc.
Step 4
If an earlier version of Windows on your computer or working with gadgets creates certain inconveniences for you, set up notifications about the arrival of new letters directly in your browser.
Step 5
To do this, go to the add-ons (extensions) store through the menu of your browser and search for the word mail. You will be presented with several options for new mail alert widgets to choose from. Select the extension that matches your email service (Gmail, Yandex, Yahoo, etc.) and install it.
Step 6
Configure the add-on by specifying the login and password for entering in the settings window, as well as setting the time interval for checking the mailbox. Depending on the selected add-on, you will receive notifications of incoming mail in the form of pop-up windows or digital indication of the number of unread messages in the Inbox folder.
