Ann, I suppose that is what I am saying, you can make it do things the way you want it done. The pop ups I have are very small and don't get in the way. They come up and last just long enough to read, and go away. About 1 second or so. I think it is quite nice to be able to listen to say, Beethoven or NPR's Fresh Air while reading email. Recently I have been leaving the tunes that signal email off for this reason. I also installed a running clock that tells me how long I have been on the internet, weather updates in the toolbar, and so on. There are a lot of options/add ons. In Thunderbird, I have an electronics post-it notes so that I can remind myself of why I am archiving a certain email.
I believe I heard today that IE is being updated to include tab browsing - gee, Firefox has had that for years. Nothing like taking from the best, a Microsoft tradition.
