PRB: Mail Service Does Not Generate Notification for New Message
This article was previously published under Q324157
With an Inbox Mail service connected, when you receive a new message, you may experience the following symptoms:
- The Inbox bubble notification does not appear.
- The device does not play a sound to signal you that a new message has been received.
The Inbox displays notifications only under the following circumstances:
- If the Inbox window does not appear on the screen.
- If the device is not locally connected through ActiveSync (USB, serial or infrared connection).
This behavior is by design.
Mail notifications are intended to alert the user only when the device is not locally connected to a desktop PC, and the Inbox program is running in the background.
To turn on sound notification when a new message is received, follow these steps:
- Tap the Start menu, tap Settings.
- On the Personal tab, tap the Sounds & Notifications icon.
- On the Notifications tab, in the Select an event list, select Inbox: New e-mail message.
When you are locally connected, use the desktop mail client’s features for notification of new incoming e-mail messages.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 Software Standard Edition

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
