Email notification icon. How to set up a mail alert
If you spend a lot of time on the computer and need to check your email inbox regularly, it's best to set up a mechanical notification about the arrival of mail, so as not to miss the main letter.
Instructions
1. If you have installed it on your computer operating system Windows 7, install the mail gadget - a small application that will be placed on the desktop. You can use gadgets: Mail2web, WpCorpMailCheck, Gmail Counter, POP3Cecker and others, which can be found on specialized sites www.wingadget.ru, www.sevengadget.ru and similar web sources.
2. After installing the widget, proceed to configure it. Enter your address and password in the appropriate fields, set the frequency of checking for new letters, select a sound signal to notify you when mail arrives.
3. In the settings of some gadgets you also need to specify the addresses of the POP3 and SMTP protocols. You will be able to find this information in the settings of your mailbox on the postal service website. As usual, the protocols have the following form: pop3.mail.ru, pop3.yandex.ru, smtp.mail.ru, smtp.yandex.ru, etc.
4. If you have an earlier version of Windows on your computer or working with gadgets creates certain inconveniences for you, set up notifications about the arrival of new emails easily in your browser.
5. To do this, go to the add-ons (extensions) store through your browser menu and perform a search query for the word mail. You will be offered a choice of several options for mini-applications to notify you about a new mail. Select the extension that matches your email service (Gmail, Yandex, Yahoo, etc.) and install it.
6. Configure the add-on by specifying your login and password in the settings window, as well as setting a time period for checking your mailbox. Depending on the selected add-on, you will receive notifications of incoming mail in the form of pop-up windows or a digital indication of the number of unread messages in your inbox.
If you use your mailbox continuously for quite a long time, then the number of letters there is quite large. In fact, it’s not very comfortable to work with your individual correspondence in a mailbox, unless you have unlimited Internet. It is much easier to operate your letters on your own computer. This is precisely why the amazing program The Bat! was made, and today we will talk about how to set up work with your mailboxes through it.

Tip 4: How to set up a delayed email sending
In both business and individual correspondence, from time to time there is a need to send an email after the moment of creation. The procedure for setting up delayed sending of letters is simple, but not all Internet mail services provide this option. In particular, the famous mail service mail.ru does not have the necessary functionality.
Instructions
1. Setting up delayed sending of an email in Yandex mail Fill out all fields of the form to create a letter in the Yandex mail service and attach the necessary files. The button for sending a letter is placed under the link for attaching files, highlighted yellow and is divided into two unequal parts, “Send” and a timer sign. Click on the timer icon, the context field “send today at XX:00” will open. Check this box and set the desired date and time. You can change the date by clicking on the word “today”; a calendar will appear where you can choose the month and day. By analogy, the field is edited over time. The timer is designed for a time from 5:00 to 23:00 at intervals of one hour. The Yandex mail system provides its users with the opportunity to set up a delayed sending of a letter for 1 year from the date of its creation. After setting the date and time, the “send” button will change in accordance with the new parameters. Click on it to save the letter and the set sending time in the Outbox folder. If desired, you can make a separate folder for delayed letters.
2. Setting up delayed sending of emails in Gmail Google's mail system does not have a pre-installed delayed sending of emails feature. To get this chance, download and install the Boomerang for Gmail plugin. There are versions of the Boomerang for Gmail plugin for Chrome browsers and Firefox. After setting this extension, a new link will appear in the window for creating a letter - “Send later”. Click on it, a context menu will open in which you can choose the period - in 1 hour, in 2 hours, in 4 hours, tomorrow morning, tomorrow afternoon, in 2 days or 4 days, in a week or two, and also in a month, – or install the exact date and the time of sending an email with timer support, the one located below the list of periods. Click the “Verify” button and save the letter with the specified parameters.

On our WPinCode website we use the Disqus commenting system. Recently, one of our users asked if it was possible to set up notifications for the author of a post about new Disqus comments in WordPress. By default, only users who are added to the Disqus commenting system as a moderator or administrator will receive notifications of new comments. However, if you run a blog with multiple authors, you probably shouldn't give each author access to the Disqus account admin. In today's article, we'll show you how to notify post authors of new Disqus comments in WordPress.
Before you begin, make sure you have the Disqus commenting system installed on your WordPress site. Also make sure you haven't turned off automatic import of comments by visiting Comments » Disqus on your website.
Now you need to install and activate the Disqus Notify Post/Page Author plugin. It works out of the box and does not require additional configuration.
Problem solving
If you just added a test comment and haven't received an email notification, don't panic. It will usually take some time for Disqus to sync comments to your database. The plugin will only send a notification when the comment is synced and imported into the WordPress database.
Make sure that the email address associated with the author's account is valid. Also don't forget to check your spam folder. If you use a Google Inbox, the comment notification may appear in the Updates section.
Lastly, make sure your WordPress site can send emails. We have already written about how to fix this kind of problem in one of the articles.
We hope this article helped you set up author notifications for new Disqus comments in WordPress.
