E-MAIL NOTIFIER

I an seeking an e-mail notifier compatible with the above.

The cable company said they are not aware of any e-mail notifier program that is compatible with the above specs.

Internet Explorer has been discontinued for Mac os9 and os X. I suggest that you use safari instead and os X comes with an application called Mail. I don't know the capabilities of mail, but you should use safari in my opinion to replace Internet Explorer. you can use Internet explorer if you want.

Thanks to one and all for your replies that are much appreciated.

Well, I have already logged eight solid hours of SUPER-TECH Telephone Time.

What, you may ask could take Mac Genius Techs so long to fix on a brandy spankin' new machine?

No, I didn't ask them to build a special computer for me. I simply asked them to enable my e-mail to "SEND" & "RECEIVE"

As it turns out, the transfer of data from the old iBook managed to corrupt some application, program, etc. that would only allow receiving e-mail but not sending.

A very patient, determined and brilliant tech spent many hours and finally resolved the e-mail issue. Next, he had to learn why Microsoft Word wouldn't function.

Suffice it to say that the major glitches have been fixed however other unintended consequences developed so the saga goes on.

And to think that this all started with a notifier question that I could really less about at this stage of the game.

Anyway, my sincerest thanks to all who took their time to reply

Gotta run now. I see an e-mail has arrived (;-))

Best,
Ian

It should, my one remaining 10.3.9 iMac has exactly the same options in Mail Preferences.
