A messaging system for notifying subscribers of incoming e-mail messages that includes an e-mail system communicating with a notification system is disclosed. The e-mail system includes a user interface that permits subscribers to populate filter lists with e-mail message attributes, such as sender e-mail addresses. The filter list is provided to the notification system, which selectively notifies subscribers of incoming e-mail messages based on the contents of their respective filter lists. The notification system can alert subscribers to incoming e-mail messages by pager, facsimile, voice mail, synthetic speech via cellular or conventional telephones, or the like.
