Can a new e-mail message event wake up a monitor?
When my laptop is running on battery, I have the screen set to go
blank in 1 minute. This tremendously lengthens the amount of operation I can get from a full charge. However, I find myself quite often sliding my finger across the touch pad to wake up the screen so I can check to see if I have any new e- mail. It would be really cool if an Outlook add-in existed which would wake up your screen automatically when you receive a new e-mail. Does anyone know if such a tool exists? |

Can a new e-mail message event wake up a monitor?
Thanks for the suggestion.
I do have a sound turned on for new e-mail, however, I mute my laptop when in meetings because such a sound is disruptive, even at the lowest volume. I created an add-in for Outlook which can share calendar items to other Outlook users, with or without Exchange. I may simply find the Windows API function for waking up the screen and put something in that tool to do this. |
