Using the AutoAlert E-mail Notification System
Your VAIO Slimtop LCD computer can be set up to notify you with an
Information LED when new mail arrives in your e-mail mailbox. The
Information LED turns red to indicate that new e-mail has arrived. For
this AutoAlert E-mail Notification System to work, you must use
Microsoft
®
Outlook
®
98 or Outlook Express as your default e-mail
software, and you must have an Internet Service Provider with dial-up
capabilities set up.
As an alternative, you can program PPK Setup to set the Information LED
to turn on when PPK Setup has successfully completed the task of dialing
up and connecting to receive mail. In this case, the Information LED turns
on to indicate that your e-mail account has been accessed successfully,
regardless of whether or not you have mail; this works with Netscape
Communicator
™
4.5, Microsoft
®
Outlook
®
Express, and Microsoft
®
Outlook
®
98.
