OStatic

My Mac Mail icon no longer indicates when I have a new message. (This only started a couple of days ago; prior to that a very small box would appear next to the Mail icon when I had received a new msg)

I've created a new alias from the application and am using that in the dock but still no change. Also tried to add a sound per the preferences, but that isn't working either (even though I can hear songs, etc on ITunes).

I'm still working in Tiger.

Your help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Veronica
