How do I stop the window pop up notifying an email comes to my inbox? If not, then how can I stop the email so it doesn’t pop up the sender’s name? 
Some people like receiving an e-mail notification whenever a new email arrives. However, other people find it annoying. In fact, many people would prefer to disable this feature of e-mail notification because it tempts them to stop working just to read the e-mail. Fortunately, it is simple enough to disable this feature once you find out how to do so.
The first section offers general advice for turning off e-mail notification while the next two sections provide detailed instructions for disabling this feature in Thunderbird and Outlook Express, two popular e-mail applications.
Turning Off E-mail Notifications: E-mail Settings
The manner in which you change or turn off e-mail notifications varies somewhat according to the e-mail program that you are using. In general, however, you will go into the settings for your e-mail application and make one or two quick changes that will stop e-mail notifications from coming through each time that you receive a new e-mail. Typically, you need to enter the “Tools” area of your e-mail application.
Turning Off E-mail Notifications: Outlook Express
If you are using Outlook Express, follow these directions to turn off e-mail notification:
1) Open your Outlook Express application.
2) Select the “Tools” option on the top menu.
3) Select “Options” in the drop down menu that appears.
4) Select “E-mail Options” from the right-hand side of the box under “E-mail.”
5) Select “Advanced E-mail Options” under “Message Handling.”
6) Clear the box in front of “Display a New Mail Desktop Alert” under the section labeled “When new items arrive in my inbox” so that you no longer receive e-mail pop ups.
7) You can also disable sounds, changes in the mouse cursor, and icon notification in this area.
Turning Off E-mail Notifications: Thunderbird
If you are using Thunderbird, follow these directions to turn off e-mail notification:
1) Open your Thunderbird application.
2) Navigate to and click on “Tools” in the top menu bar.
3) Select “Options” from the drop down menu.
4) Select “General” on the top left-hand side of the dialog box that appears.
5) Near the bottom of the box, in the sections labeled “When new messages arrive,” clear the small boxes in front of “Show an alert” and “Play a sound.”

Sorry, I use Window live manager and IE
I can’t find any option in it ?
In Windows Live Mail, go to Tools > Options > General. In the Send/Receive Messages section, there’s an option for playing a sound when new messages arrive. From what I can tell, there’s no option for turnning off the System Tray display.
