Hello I have Firefox ver 1.32 and i use the browser to go to my hotmail account.

I need to set up some sort of audible alert for when I recieve New emails

Can anyone help ?? I contacted microsoft and the person I had a live chat with addmitted she was new inexperienced and couldnt help neither could the person she asked to help.

There must be someway of connecting a windows sound with a new incoming email, at least I hope there is.

Thank You Kevin

Firefox doesn't have a built-in feature for this, but there may well be an add-on that can do it. It doesn't even need to be specific to Microsoft's mail site, it might be something that looks for dynamic changes in a webpage.

You could start by searching on the add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/
