AutoAlert™ E-mail Notification System
The VAIO® Action Setup utility enables you to program your computer to notify
you when new mail arrives in your e-mail mailbox. The
Information LED
turns red to indicate that new e-mail has arrived. For the AutoAlert E-mail
Notification System to work, you must use Microsoft® Outlook® Express as
your default e-mail software, and have an Internet Service Provider (ISP) with
dial-up capabilities set up.
As an alternative, you can program your AutoAlert E-mail Notification System to
have the Information LED indicate when it has successfully completed the task
of dialing up and connecting to receive e-mail. In this case, the Information LED
lights to indicate that your e-mail account has been successfully accessed,
regardless of whether or not you have e-mail. This feature is supported by the
preconfigured e-mail applications listed in the VAIO Action Setup utility.
