Allow option for Desktop E-Mail Alert to remain until a key is hit

[Dennis A.]

I would suggest that Microsoft add an option to leave Desktop E-Mail Alerts
on your screen until a key is hit. The current approach is only useful if
you are staring at your screen when the alert appears. Half the time, a user
is not even in front of his computer. But the Desktop Alert lulls you into
thinking that you don't have to regularly check your e-mail. That would be
true and nice if the Alert stays visible until some key is hit.

You can customize this;

Note that you can also create a rule that gives an overview of all the
messages that are received when you were away (looks a bit like the Reminder
window).

And of course there is the good old envelope
