New email alerts are on the messenger. If you have it installed, then go to and click Messenger, scroll to and click Preferences. Click Alerts & Sounds. Mark the boxes, Enable alert sounds, Showing a message at the bottom right corner of screen and Playing a sound. Click Apply and Ok. You must be signed into te messenger to receive these alerts.If you don't have the messenger and want it, then go to the homepage and click either the yellow smiley face on the list or highlight View Yahoo sites and you will find it on the directory. Click it and follow directions Also new mail alerts are on the Yahoo Toolbar.
http://toolbar.yahoo.com/ or http://uk.toolbar.yahoo.com/ You will be alerted wherever you are.
Each account has it's own messenger. "You've got mail" is a AOL feature.
