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.

The e-mail software you choose to use with the PPK must be set as your default e-mail software.
