Notifications
When you receive a new email, text message, instant message, or voice mail message, the service will give you
a visual notification in the title bar, no matter what application you’re currently viewing. Here’s an example of a
new email notification:
The notice will appear in a balloon just once. But, until you read or listen to your new message, you’ll see a little
icon in the title bar, reminding you that there’s a message waiting:
In the example above, there’s an email message waiting to be read. Other icons you might see notify you of the
following:
New email waiting.
New text message (SMS) waiting.
New instant message (IM) waiting.
New voice message waiting.
If you have more than one reminder, the relevant message icons will display in sequence.
You can also choose to be notified of new messages using ringtones. Read more about ringtone notifications in
