Even if the mail goes to Deleted Items, it is still considered new mail. If
you *truly* do not want mail from anyone that is not in your Address Book,
then change the rule to Delete it from server. You won't see it and you
won't see the icon. Otherwise, you have to live with it.

I get the little envelope icon in my taskbar tray whenever I receive a new
email. I have message rules set so anything from someone not in my address
book goes directly to Deleted Items. However, even when the only email I
receive goes to the Deleted Items folder I still receive the notification
icon. I would like the icon to appear only when email goes to my Inbox.

How would I do that?

Thanks.
