Some have reported problems with the pre-sp2 CU - they needed to install a
second update to make it work. That second update should be part of SP2 tho.

One person told me if there is no new mail upon opening Outlook, the desktop
alert will display
any new mail AFTER that initial check of mail on startup. If there is new
mail downloaded when outlook initially starts, the alert doesn't display.
(Outlook also takes longer to close completely when the alerts aren't
working.)

...
I had the alerts not working anymore after SP2.
I noticed that if I clear all new mails and exit from Outlook, at
restarting alerts are again on.
Is this normal ?
The not-working status begins again after some while ... reason
unknown.
There is some special setup to be performed ?
Am I doing some mistake ?
I work unders XP Pro, regularly updated.


Pls help
Manlio
