Interesting :) I just went to the Mail and News Account Settings. I
have 3 accounts set there. I have
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as account name
Server
Copies and Folders
I looked around in there and I have nothing about mail notifications.
What I have noticed recently is that in the ICQ icon in the taskbar
disappears. I have no icon from Mozilla in my taskbar.
In the server prefs I have.
Server Type:
Server Name:
User Name:
Port:
Check for mail every X minutes (set to 5)
Automatically download ... (checked)
Leave mail on server (unchecked)
Delete mail from server when they are deleted locally (unchecked)
Limit download message ... (unchecked)
Empty Trash on Exit (unchecked)
Local Directory ...
That's it.
So I have never seen any icon change anywhere but in the left pane of
my mail client and the folder where the mail was filtered too. By the
way, the number is not next to folder of the new unread mails, it only
turns bold. Independant if 1 or 10 mails are in there.
So I can only presume that there is some problem with the ICQ icon. I
am running ICQ 2000b Beta v4.55. I am running the build of mozilla
from the 27th around 10 o'clock am or something. I think there is a
newer one now.

I do not even see anything where I can set anything up. I might really
just miss something here but I see nothing that would change any icons
anywhere other than inside the mail client itself.

Nice to know that it does work, tells me that it will work relatively
fast for me ;)
If you have any things I should check out, download the talkback
version or something else (I am currently running the installer) then
tell me.
Oh, I have in my taskbar, the PCMCIA card icon, the volume Icon, the
PGP icon and a free space (where the ICQ icon normally is) and the
time at the moment. I don't think that there is place for 2 icons in
the free space.
