Hi,

You can open this form when new message arrived. It acts like a  notification window in outlook.

Here is the code.

Form8.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form8 : Form
    {
        public Form8()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            
        }
        public string Title
        {
            get { return lblTitle.Text;}
            set { lblTitle.Text = value; }
        }
        public string Message
        {
            get { return lblMessage.Text; }
            set { lblMessage.Text = value; }
        }
        Timer t = new Timer();
        private void Form8_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Location = new Point(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width - this.Width - 20, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height - this.Height - 50);
            t.Interval = 500;
            t.Enabled = true;
            t.Tick += new EventHandler(t_Tick);
        }

        void t_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Opacity -= 0.1;
            if (this.Opacity == 0)
            {
                t.Enabled = false;
                this.Close();
            }
        }

        private void lblClose_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Close();
        }
    }
}
