If you use Vista Sidebar

I d/l this 'Gadget' for notifying new mail arrival.

It shows up to 5 accounts.  Works a treat in Vista (Business) using OE.

That looks interesting, thanks Mo!

Can't get it to work.    Just keeps saying 'Unavailable' each time it tries to check an account.  Oh well, nothing wrong with Mail Washer anyway. 

[MoHux]

I can't understand why you are having problems Si.  The reason I posted it was because it worked first time for me.

I opened each relevant OE 'account' alongside the programs setup, which made it easy to copy.

Is the address of your Mail Client correct at the bottom, mine started 'C:\Program Files\ ..........' whereas it is actually on 'D'. 

Sorry if it looks like I am trying to teach you how to suck eggs Si, but it's very often the little things.

My mail client is Thunderbird, Mo, and I don't think that's anything to do with it, as it wouldn't even get past the checking for mail stage.  I wonder if it's just for Vista Business?  I have Home Premium.

I note it says 'selectable mail client' in the description, Simon. Were you given an option to select TBird?

[Simon]

I just browsed to the TBird exe file, Rik, but as I said, it didn't even appear to manage to log into the mail servers.
