When alerts are fired by Outlook, they are not necessarily sent to you
and your contacts every time. You can control when to send them:
- Always
- Only when your computer has been idle for a specified time
- Only at a specified time period
Below is a list of the time period.
Start & end time you specify |
Time period you get |
same | whole day |
9am to 9pm | half day |
9pm to 9am | overnight |

When an alert is delivered by 6Alert6, the alert and the delivery status
can be displayed on the Alert Monitor window.

You can choose to show alert when they are sent or only when there is a problem.

-
When an alert is delivered, your name and sometimes your Email address will be included
in the alert. Your name and Email are the ones that you signed up with.
If you prefer to use different name and Email address,
you can do it in the Preferred Name & Email Address section.

If this section is left blank, your signup name and Email address will be used.
-
Before an alert can be sent, you must:
- Provide a valid 6Cahnnel6 ID and password
- Select at least one type of alert
- Specify at least one device to receive alerts
Once you have done this, the alert will be turned on automatically.
If at any time one of these is conditions is unsatisfied,
the alert will be turned off.
There are two ways to see the status of your alerts:
- 6Alert6 menu -> Alerts menu item

- 6Alert6 Options window -> Alerts tab -> right hand side bottom
