Yes I am using XP. I tried what you suggested, but I still dont get
the icon when new mail arrives. Can you suggest anything else?

Well, I can suggest you make sure you still have the alert option turned on
by clicking ToolsOptionsE-mail OptionsAdvanced E-mail Options and making
sure the box labeled "Show an envelope icon in the notification area" is
checked. Other than that, I can't think of anything.
