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 computer may not be able to disconnect the phone line due to 
communication and server conditions.

❑

Monitor the status of the software when running the AutoAlert E-mail 
Notification System, and manually disconnect the phone line if you notice a 
malfunction. When using the timer to start the software, set the computer to 
shut down or enter system standby mode after a certain length of time. This 
allows the computer to disconnect the phone line if the computer does not 
disconnect the line normally.

❑

Set up your e-mail software to redial automatically if it does not connect the 
first time.

❑

Set up your e-mail software to disconnect the phone line automatically when 
all mail has been downloaded.

✍

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