Notify is a utility that works with BlitzMail to alert you
of new e-mail messages and BlitzMail Bulletins. By default, as long as
the BlitzMail application has been launched and someone has logged
into BlitzMail, Notify will display an alert for any new e-mail or
Bulletins. If you wish to receive an alert for your new e-mail messages on
your own personal computer, even if you are not currently logged into
BlitzMail, follow the instructions below.
For Windows
To activate Notify for Windows, click Start,
Programs, BlitzMail, then
Notify. Select Add Name, then enter your
BlitzMail Name and Password.
Under Site, select the appropriate organization, then click
OK. Your name should appear in the Always listen
for: box. Click the BlitzMail Notification Active
box, then select any of the options for being notified. Click
Close.
If you are using a Windows computer that is not normally connected to the
Dartmouth network when the computer is turned on (e.g., not connected via an
Ethernet cable or a wireless connection), you will need to change the
configurations of Notify. Click Start,
Programs, BlitzMail, then
Notify. Click the Configure button and remove
the check from the Assume full-time network connection
box.
For the Macintosh
On a Macintosh running Mac OS X, Notify is comprised of two
programs: Notify Background and Notify Settings. With
versions of BlitzMail earlier than version 2.8, the
Notify Background utility has to be configured to start automatically
when your computer starts in order for Notify to work. To ensure you
have the newest Macintosh version of BlitzMail installed, see the
BlitzMail for Mac OS X software downloads Web page.
If you are using a version of BlitzMail earlier than version 2.8 and cannot
upgrade, do the following to enable the Notify
Background utility to start automatically. Select System
Preferences from the Apple menu, then
Accounts. Click on your account name under My
Account, then select Startup Items (or
Login Items) and click the +
(plus) sign below the These items will open automatically when you log
in: box. Navigate to where the Notify Background file was
installed (usually the BlitzMail folder in
Applications) and double-click on the Notify
Background file, or highlight it and click Add to add
it to the Startup Items list. Put a check in the Hide box
beside Notify Background. Restart your computer to start Notify
Background.
Once your computer is restarted, you can configure Notify Settings.
Navigate to Applications, open the BlitzMail
folder, and select Notify Settings. Click Add
Name, and enter your BlitzMail Name and
Password. Under Site, select the appropriate
organization, then click OK. Your name should appear in the
Notification options for: box. In the BlitzMail
Notification box, toggle the switch to On, then
select any of the options for being notified. Click Close.
