Is there a "Notify" in Outlook 2000/2002

For e-mail, go to Tools>Options. On the Preferences tab click E-mail options.
If you want a sound to play, click the Advanced E-mail options button.

To my knowledge, there is no way to do this. If you find a way, post it; a couple hundred other people where I work, and ME, would like to see how to do this without installing 3rd party software.

Since you mentioned groupwise, I'm assuming you are on a system that is using a Microsoft Exchange Server. What we do in this environment is set up an Outlook rule to autoforward the message to a text pager, if you have a pager! The Outlook rules are server-based and don't requre Outlook to be running.

Or, you could autoforward the messages to Yahoo, Hotmail, or some service that has a messenger service. This situation would cause duplicate messages, but at least you'd be notified.

If you are not working with an Exchange server, the autoforward could possibly be set up through the ISP email settings.

These are a couple of the creative ways I've seen people do what you want to do.
