Email alert for disk usage?

I'd like to set up an alert to email me when my server's C, D, or E drive reach a certain threshold, is this possible and if so how?

I'm using Oputils software to monitor if from another server via SNMP. It shows usage but no way to email usage alerts.

It's not an exchange server.  It hosts a SQL database.

I was able to set up an alert like lnkevin described, but I don't see how to make it email me. On the action tab of the alert I have it set to "Send a network message to:" me@mydomain.com but i think that may be trying to send a netsend message, not an email.
Where do i enable email?
Check out logmein.com "IT reach" will do it all part are for free

lnkevin - could you enlighten me how to enable email for the alert you described?

JSoup - Thank you for the help, I'm still going to try to find a way to do it without logmein. I found a script that emails windows performance alerts but i'm having trouble with it. I'm hoping lnkevin will have some more info for me since I'm missing the email aspect of his post.
