I use OutlookExpress for emailing. My OS is WinXP Pro SP2.
In most cases, when I open and read a new email, the new email icon in
system tray disappears.
But once in a while, the email icon still remains in the system tray even
after deletion of the all new emails.
Is there anyway to fix this problem? Craig

OE Tools Options General Check for new messages every XX minutes:
What's selected here?

Is your anti-virus application configured to scan incoming & outgoing mail?
Are you running an anti-spam application?

When checked, new message every "10 minutes".

Is your anti-virus application configured to scan incoming & outgoing
mail?

Norton Antivirus is running.

Are you running an anti-spam application?

Only anti-spam is Windows defender.

If you select all the new messages and use shift + delete, the icon
won't go away. It could also be Norton. Disable Norton's email scan as
it offers no added protection and can cause problems with OE.

Could you please more specific on this line? I have been using NAV for
zillions of years. I always thought that NAV protected almost everything
because I have a blind trust in NAV somehow. I am surprised to see that it
does not protect. Please enlighten me.

I wrote *added* protection. If you were to try and run a virus, NAV
would still stick it's head out and stop it. It's just that OE and NAV
don't work together well and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.

Thank you. Upon reading your response, both scanning incoming and outgoing
