If 'without going to look' means 'without using your eyes,' you'll have to rely on the Windows 'New Mail Notification' sound, configurable in the Control Panel. I couldn't say whether that's an option on a Mac. Otherwise, for us PC Windows users, the tray icon grows and turns yellow when new mail is received, and if we use Messenger as well, we can persuade that app to pop toast up from that same tray whenever new mail arrives. Again, I don't know whether these features are available on a Mac OS. You'd be better off asking in a Mac forum, I think. -- Noel

Re: " you've got mail " "Farbuncle" <farbuncle[ at ]cox.net> 12/30/2008 7:42:37 PM Dave solved my problem. To answer your question, I'm not sure. My in box says "windows live mail" I got here from hotmail thru Vista mail which was then changed to live mail. Sometimes , I think I've ended up will some of all of them. Sorry, I'm not an expert.
