I installed outlook 2002, and it went thru the steps asking me if I wanted to make it the default from outlook express, said yes, imported everything from outlook express, but now I can send emails but it would not alert me when I have new messages,( outlook express would not alert either since it's not the default anymore ) I have to get that thru my isp' web site, is there anything I'm missing as far as options.
Thank you.

If fyou haven't already checked this out, do the following:
In Outlook, open the "Tools/Options" from the menu. Select "Email Options" and then "Advanced Options". In the center section, "When New items arrive in my Inbox", you'll see the options for notifying you when something arrives. I personally selected "Riccochet.wav" because it is distinctive and longer than the default Notification.wav. Riccochet is part of Office files so you may not have that. Just try to select some sound that is distinctive. You can also set the "mouse flag" for a visual notification or set it so an "envelope" appears in your Systray.
Luck
