SUMMARY

When you use Microsoft Exchange Windows clients and the You Have Received New Mail notification window is in the background, no Microsoft Exchange functions are active. The notification dialog is still active but not displayed for response.

MORE INFORMATION

You must use ALT+TAB (or task bar for Windows 95) to switch to Microsoft Exchange. This will bring the notification dialog to the foreground for response. The notification dialog follows Microsoft Exchange using this method of task switching. Once a response has been made, the Microsoft Exchange client functions are active.

CAUSE

This is by product design.
