I'm used to seeing a "new mail" icon show up in the System Tray whenever I
have unread mail waiting in Outlook Express. Recently, however, I notice that there are times when I do have new (unread) mail in my Inbox, but the "new mail envelope" icon does not show up in the System Tray. I'm not talking about the icon being "hidden", and having to expand the System Tray to see it. (I know how to handle that, through the Taskbar section of the Start button Properties. That's not the issue.) Does anyone have any idea if there's a setting that enables/disables this icon, or why it might not be showing up when I do have new mail? ----------------------------------- Frank D. Nicodem, Jr. |

Are you using Trend Micro by any chance? This refers to the icon as well as
sound.

However, Trend Micro Anti-Spam is not installed on this system. (I'm using the free AVG anti-virus, anti-spyware application.) What's most puzzling is that the problem isn't permanent. For instance, earlier this morning, I had new E-mail but no icon showed up in the System Tray. Later in the afternoon, however, when more new E-mail arrived, the icon suddenly showed up! So I guess I'd call it some kind of "glitch", as opposed to a full-out "bug". -------------------------------------- Frank D. Nicodem, Jr. |

Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main
Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity (File Identities Add new identity). Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old identity, (2) import messages from the old identity into the new one, and then (3) delete the old one (File Identities Manage Identities). To avoid such corruption in futu - Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose. - Empty Deleted Items folder daily. - Disable Background Compacting [not available in SP2] and frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm - WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is automatically compacting your message store. - Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) Frank D. Nicodem, Jr. wrote: "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...
