I have Windows 8.1 with Internet Explorer 11. I use Hotmail as my mail provider and have suddenly started to get mail alerts on the top right hand of my screen.

The advice on-line is to select File/Options etc...........or Tools/Options etc

This doesn't work in my case, when I select Tools I only get 'More Settings', 'Help' or 'Feedback'.

How do I get rid of these alerts?

Thanks
