    It's a bit of a weird one but does anyone know if it's possible to attach a flashing beacon or siren to a computer probably via USB and have it go off whenever an email is received in outlook?

    I just get an alert on my iPhone and check it there. If I need a laptop to complete the response, then so be it.
