SUMMARY

When you are in an application running in graphics mode, the Microsoft Mail (PC Client) Notifier's Alert Window may not appear until after the application running in graphics mode is quit.

MORE INFORMATION

The Mail PC Client uses a text-based Character Oriented Window (COW) interface, which may conflict with some applications using graphics mode for screen display.

Although the Notifier will not work correctly, the Sound Chime will still sound the arrival of new mail. You can turn off the Display Alert Window option from the Preferences dialog box (on the Mail menu), and only use the Sound Chime option.
