Select the options you want to change. Options are described below.
Use an alert dialog box—If this is selected, an alert dialog box notifies you when new
mail is received. You will see the alert dialog box only if Eudora is in the foreground.
Open mailbox—If this is selected, mailboxes are automatically opened when new mail
arrives in them, and the first unread message of the last unread batch of messages is
selected.
Play a sound—If this is selected, a sound is played when Eudora needs attention. To
select a sound (.wav) file, click the long, horizontal button below the “Play a sound” option

Note that this option must be on for such reports to appear in that window.
