email notifier

[carmalee]

A while back I had an audio and visual email notifier on my Yahoo account. went away for quite a while and when I got back I noticed the audio notification wasn't working - don't recall altering anything btw. For a month or so have had a visual notification of incoming emails - i.e the number of unread emails quantified in the little blue box in the bottom left hand corner of the screen immediately to the right of the grren start icon. A week or so ago I started getting audio notifications of incoming emails via a lovely loud bing bong noise and a small red box on the righthand side of the desktop -this is very useful as my computer is on all the time and I like to know of new emails.. However, when I get the audio notification, the visual notification still says zero - when I go into my inbox, I have to click on the last received email before the new message shows. Have I done some stupid I don't know about? - thanks
