The Message Notification options can alert you whenever a new message arrives in your Inbox.
Message Notification
Beep when messages received
A standard Windows beep will sound whenever a new message is received in your Inbox. If you select a Notification Sound then that sound will be heard.
Display popup messages
Displays a popup message when a new message is received in your Inbox.
Receive other user notifications
This option is only enabled if you have access to other user's folders. When checked, you can receive new message notifications for other users. However, you have to have the user selected in the user list to receive their new message notifications. This means that you can only receive notifications for one user at a time. To receive notifications for all users you will need to use the soon-to-be-released MessageAlert application (which will be included in an update).
Switch to Inbox
When checked, PhonePad automatically switches to the Inbox when new messages are received.

Notification Sound
Default sound
When selected, plays the default Windows beep when a new message is received.
Sound file
Instead of using the default Windows beep for alerting you about new messages, you can play a WAV file. Click on the button and select the WAV file to play. 30 sounds are included with PhonePad but you can also add your own. It's best to using a sound file that has a short duration.
