Virgin Media Webmail - No Sounds

paulofessex

Does anyone else miss not having a 'ding' or similar sound when receiving email. I have searched both VM's site and Google hoping to find a way to add sound.

Perhaps l'm just fussy by wanting sound....:)

You need an application running in the background looking for emails to do this. You should be able to setup whatever application you used before to use your webmail. If you want to use it as webmail as well, make sure to not use POP3 - this will move the emails off the VM server and on to your home PC. Instead you should use IMAP which will just use the emails directly from the VM server, so they can still be seen in webmail.

The following guide is for POP3, but I'd guess if you change pop3 to imap on the server address it will work fine.
