accepted  No. You can select to receive emails daily by
checkmarking the box at the bottom of your questions, but there
is no option for immediate emails. However, if you stay on a
Stack Exchange site, the inbox in the upper left hand corner of
every page will alert you to any new replies within seconds. You
can also use the RSS feed on any questions (bottom right of the
question page) to pipe new responses into a RSS reader.
share|improve this answer I think the RSS feed might be the way
to go. Basically I want something on my computer to 'beep' to
tell me my question has been answered. I just assumed email was
the way to go. Thanks. –  bradley.ayers Mar 29 '11 at 3:20
