This is a very common request. For example, see FAQ 3.8: <http://spambayes.org/faq.html#how-can-i-get-rid-of-the-envelope-tray-icon-f or-spam> And the RFE: [ 774978 ] Hide envelope icon when only spam received <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=774978&group_id=61 702&atid=498106> To steal Kenny's words from there: "The problem is that SpamBayes only knows about a small subset of the Outlook mail folders. A user can configure Outlook rules to move messages to other folders that SpamBayes doesn't know about, so it is difficult for SpamBayes to be certain when there are *no* other unread messages anywhere in Outlook." However, the upcoming 1.1 release will include some additional notification support. At the moment there is a "Notifications" tab in the Manager dialog, from where you can set sounds for SpamBayes to play when ham/unsure/spam is received. (These can be used instead of / in addition to the Outlook notification sounds). It's feasible that this will be expanded in time so that a tray icon can be controlled as well as sounds. (Either the Outlook tray icon, or one of our own). =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list ([email protected]) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this. _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
