Well you haven't been very specific. Do you want OE to alert you if you've got mail after you've got it to check for email, or do you want to be alerted when new mail arrives for you in your inbox *on the server*?\n\nFor the first case OE should, by default, play a sound and put a little letter icon in your system tray anyway. If it doesn't play the sound you may be able to fix this by as follows: go to Control Panel->Sound and Audio Devices, click the Sounds tab. Scroll down to New Mail Notification, select it and select a sound from the Sounds drop-down box, or hit Browse to use a sound in another .wav file.\n\nFor the second case: what it sounds like you want is a mail checker. OE is not really built for this job, as a mail checker has to be running constantly in the background, although you can set it up to check for mail periodically in Tools->Options and the General tab. For more info on mail checkers and links to pages of reviewed checkers I recommend: http://email.about.com/cs/wincheckerreview/a/three_reasons.htm

Outlook Express:\n\n1. Tools > Options\n2. Click on Receipts\n3. Check the box "Request a read receipt for all sent messages"\n\nBut not 100% guaranteed as the user may have it turned off, or refuse to send it

There is one thing you can try on your end. Otherwise it's the other end that you are sending it too. \n\nIn Outlook Express go to Tools, Accounts. Choose your account and then Properties then Servers. Click to select the My server requires authentication check box. Exit and restart Outlook and try again.\n\nIf it still does it after trying the instructions change it back. The problem is on the other end.\n\nScan for viruses and Spyware.

If you use outlook express you can request a read receipt each time.  Another email service will tell you everytime when someone reads the email you get or not.  The link to the free version is below.

If you use Outlook, you can click on Options when you are composing the email message and Request a Delivery Receipt and/or a Read Receipt when you are composing the email message. However, they do not have to respond or may have their email set up to automatically ignore these requests.\n\nOutside of that, I am not aware of any public software for this purpose.

I have used this program before and liked it.  Outlook has a receipt function that will send you a instant reply as soon as the receiver has read your email. You can try this program below and see if you like it. \n\nhttp://www.msgtag.com/Read_Receipt_Email.html
