A security alarm system is adapted to retrieve e-mail status information and provide an alert signal for the user of the system that e-mail has been received and is awaiting retrieval. Preferably, the keypad of the security system includes a visual indicator which is activated when e-mail is received. The security alarm system uses the control panel and the auto dialer associated therewith, to contact the e-mail server and receive status information of one or more e-mail accounts The control panel can contact the e-mail provider on a predetermined basis, or on a user scheduled basis. The accounting system's capability to initiate telephone communications and process signals from a remote computer is advantageously used for e-mail retrieval.
