Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how to get the Lotus Notes box on the task bar to flash when new mail comes in?

Subject: Flashing Taskbar…
I am a new/returning user to Lotus Notes, and so far I have found two methods, one straight from the Lotus Notes Help File, Notes Minder and is my favorite. It not only adds an icon to the task tray and flashes new mail notification, if you right click on it you can view a summary of all unopened mail and click to read it/them. There are other properties also.
"Notes Minder checks your mail and monitors your Calendar alarms when Notes is not running. When Notes Minder is active, it displays an icon in your Windows taskbar.
The icon changes depending on the current status of your mail database – for example, to let you know you have unread mail or to remind you about a calendar entry for which you set an alarm.
Note In this release of Notes, Notes Minder runs only on Windows.
To start Notes Minder
Choose Start, open your Lotus Applications folder, then choose Notes Minder. When prompted, enter your Notes password.
If you share a computer, start Notes with your User ID before you start Notes Minder so it checks your mail database. Otherwise, Notes Minder checks the mail and calendar of the last user who started Notes.
When Notes Minder is active, its icon in the taskbar changes to indicate different states. If you hover the cursor over the Notes Minder icon, a text box displays your current mail status or shows the time you last checked your mail."
I have not found anything so far for the default task tray icon, except under file/Preferences/User Preferences/Mail/Show a Popup, which will put a popup box on your screen.
Hope this helps.
