This is a bigger advantage to keep up with your friends in Mylot. Because for one you will know if you received a message, being informed that your friends have started a new discussion or have responded to your discussions. Also if you enable Mylot Digest then it goes directly to your notification.
But how does it work? Well for one I suggest all of you set up a Gmail account for one - Why? Because Gmail is much easier to use which is highly recommend for those that have business or work at home. Also once you do have a Gmail account is install the Gmail Notifier which informs you when your friends are using Mylot. It is a good way to keep updated so that you don't feel like you're left out.

I had my friends on alert but my inbox was flooded with notifications, so I took all of them off, I just don't have the time or inclination to clear out my inbox every day.
If you use the menu on the left, you don't really need it.

Well I use most of the time because I'm always multi tasking and it helps me to see what pops up on the bottom right corner. Just to hear that sound alert gets me going to pace. The easier the faster the better.

I also use Gmail but then I would rather just enable certain people who would be posting. It would not make sense if I enable them all if there are those that don't use Mylot often and just once in the blue moon. I like that tip though of having the Gmail Notifier I know that one comes in handy. Also as mentioned here the menus on the left side aren't much of an issue since that too comes in handy.

thanks for this hint but actually for now im just using it through the left side i don't have a gmail account or a personal computer to check from time to time. also if enabled them all then i wouldn't have time to check all of them but i get what you're saying because you have a computer to use there.

hi, darkangel079. yes, I also turn on some notify of my friends in myLot, the notify will be very helpful because I cannot always go through all the discussions from the menu (like today's top or from my interests or recent or new, etc.) because there are too many to check to see whether I can respond to them. the better start is from the notification sent to my emails. it saves a lot of time.

I have all of my friends notifications turned on. I get all of their email messages for discussions right in my inbox every day. I just use my regular email address for them becuase I hate having to check all kinds of mail pla=es like gmail, hotmail, yahoo. etc every day. I use those email accounts for other things. It is easier for me to track Mylot through my normal email address but you do have a good idea for other members who may benefit by doing that.
