Hi

Am wondering if anyone knows if I can configure Outlook Express to notify me on my cell phone when I recive an email?

Thinking maybe a text message, or some kind of dump into a voicemail?

Want to avoid the pricey $40 monthly charge for data plans given the mininal number of important emails I would be getting

THanks

In outlook express if you go to tools -> Message Rules-> Mail. In the Select The Actions for your rule select forward it to people. You will be able to use your cell phones providers SMTP address to your phone, like 2125551212@txt.att.net (More providers here http://www.sms411.net/2006/07/how-to-send-email-to-phone.html). So you can setup the rule if you are in the to: field forward it to your cell phone. It will show up as an SMS on your phone. Keep in mind that if you don't have an SMS plan on your phone your bill may be up to 40 dollars anyway :-)
