Outlook 2000, Envelope(s) in Task Bar

[m1ckG]

I seem to have a problem with outlook when I am receiving E-Mails, the envelope that appears in the task bar does not disappear. After a days worth of retrieving E-Mails I can sometimes be left with up to 8 Envelope Icons in the task bar.

I know the envelope is used to indicate new unopened mail but even when I read all mail items the envelope(s) still remain.

Anyone have any suggestions??

This won't be a very helpful reply, since I don't really know how to fix it. But it is clearly incorrect behavior, since no matter how many unread e-mails you have, only one envelope should appear in the system tray. The default answer is, of course, reinstall Outlook.

Another option would be to change your alerts for new mail to not include the envelop in System Tray alert. Then restart Outlook and re-select that option if you like. That may work bfore you reinstall Outlook.

I'm not sure where that option is because I don't have Outlook at work, but I would imagine it is under Preferences.
