Visual Interruption on Desktop

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Email Client: pop Hi,
Have been using this version of Entourage for a long time. This problem started yesterday (after a visit to the Apple Store for a replacement fan but cannot see how this would have caused the difficulty). Started noticing a puzzling, momentary "movement" on my desktop. Puzzled and puzzled, then noticed it happened whenever incoming emails. Then observed a regular pattern late last night that it's happening exactly every 10 minutes. Until I close Entourage when it doesn't happen. I see that in Schedules my repeating schedule is set for 10 mins. So I think it must be this Entourage checking that is doing it. But WHY??? And how can I stop it? I've done a repair permissions using Disk Utility and also a full TechTool Pro checkup where everything is just fine. SO ANNOYING!!!

What happens is you turn the notifications off? Do you also set
Entourage to bounce on new incoming e-mails??

Turned notification off and visual disturbance remains whenever Entourage checking for emails (set for every 10 minutes), whether or not emails actually come in.

Not sure what you mean about bounce on new incoming emails unless it's the "animation" feature which I've always had turned OFF>

OK

It is.
Then I really wonder what's going on. I don't remember anyone ever
mentioning something like that before.
Do you have any script running for incoming mails? SpamSieve maybe?
