Is there a way to receive an alert (email) in TFS whenever I have a new task?

In TFS 2008: right-click project, Project Alerts and check "When my workitems are changed by others"

Thanks. I just dug deeper and it appears it is that simple. I thought there was a way to get more types of alerts to appear.

There are a number of other alerts available, but not in the GUI. This is a good article on the command-line for different alerts: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc507647.aspx
