Outlook icon does not change to envelope

[Guest]

Although I have set my preferences in Tools>Options>E-mail Options>Advanced
E-mail Options>"When new Items Arrive in my Mailbox" to "Show an Envelope
Icon in the Notification Area", it does not change when I receive my mail.

Perhaps that icon is corrupted? Can it be reinstalled from the original
Office 2003 CD without changing anything else?

Are you using Windows XP? Right-click your Taskbar and choose Properties.
Click Customize. Scroll down until you see the "You have new unopened
items" icon. Change "Hide when inactive" to "Always show". Click OK, then
OK.
