new mail desktop alert. eliminate time out

[BOb]

In ealier versions of Outlook the desktop alert of "new mail has arrived"
stayed on the screen until I clicked yes or no. In Outlook 2003 the longest I
can make it stay is 30 secounds. I am away from my desk alot but can still
see my computer screen as I walk around. The desktop alert catches my eye
letting me know that I have mail and should return to my desk. The 30 secound
time out defeats the purpose of the alert. If I turn way for more than 30
secounds I miss the alert. Is there any way to disable the time out?
