There's already the e-mail notification option in the settings so one could just have their email app left open checking for incoming messages.
Ticking page refresh sounds? Are you talking about the sound effect when you go to new links in Internet Explorer? That's a VERY annoying effect which MS should be ashamed of ever introducing as a "feature" but I got rid of it by just going into the sounds profile in control panel and setting that sound to "nothing". It is something I do whenever I set up a new installation of Windows as a matter of course.
All I'm saying is that you deserve all the praise of the person who develops a convoluted system of pulleys, popping balloons, toy cars racing into scissors to snap strings and winding up some toy plane to eventually switch on a light.
At least this was an effort in countering oppressive utilitarianism.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
