Is there a way to set Outlook Express to notify me when new mail arrives if the program itself isn't open and minimized? Or must I open and minimize OX and let it run in the background?

I know of no other way. I keep mine minimized on task bar while on the net.

There is a free program called "mailwasher" which roadrunner used to recommend. What I like about it is that it keeps mail ON THE SERVER and lets you deal with it before it hits your computer. You can bounce it, blacklist it, delete it, whatever - without it reaching your computer. I love it. It runs in the background and flashes when you get an e-mail.

I don't even use express unless I have to.
