Hotmail show email alerts

Hotmail, now known as Outlook.com, offers several ways to receive email alerts and notifications. Here are a few options:

  1. Desktop notifications: You can enable desktop notifications in your browser to receive alerts when you receive new emails. To do this:
    • Log in to your Outlook.com account.
    • Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner.
    • Select "View all Outlook settings."
    • Scroll down to the "Notifications" section.
    • Toggle the switch next to "Desktop notifications" to the "On" position.
  2. Mobile app notifications: If you have the Outlook.com mobile app installed on your device, you can enable notifications to receive alerts when you receive new emails. To do this:
    • Open the Outlook.com app.
    • Tap on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner.
    • Tap on "Settings."
    • Scroll down to the "Notifications" section.
    • Toggle the switch next to "Notifications" to the "On" position.
  3. Email client notifications: If you use an email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird to access your Outlook.com account, you can set up notifications to receive alerts when you receive new emails. To do this:
    • Open your email client and log in to your Outlook.com account.
    • Check your client's settings to see if it has a notification feature. For example, in Microsoft Outlook, you can go to "File" > "Options" > "Advanced" and toggle the switch next to "Play a sound when new mail arrives" to the "On" position.
  4. Third-party notification services: There are also third-party services that can send you notifications when you receive new emails in your Outlook.com account. For example, you can use services like IFTTT (If This Then That) or Zapier to set up custom notifications.

Remember to adjust your notification settings according to your preferences to avoid overwhelming yourself with too many alerts!
