Email notifications

Sometimes when I receive mail, I will see a hovering notification of one of
the messages received. Did the sender make that happen, and, if so, how?

Nobody made this happen. This is a setting in Entourage. Have a look

Display an alert on my desktop.

Why does this only happen very occasionally?

I think it's probably more that you notice it only occasionally.

I think it only happens when Entourage is not the frontmost application.

I just sent myself a test message, hid all apps except E., and checked my
mail. There was no notification of the receipt when my message arrived. I
only see one of these things every few days or less.
