Unable to see the envelope icon in the notification area

[Guest]

Hi,

Everything was fine until one fine day, the small Outlook envelope that
appears when new mail arrives, disappeared from my notification area.

I am using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP. I have checked (enabled) the "Show an
envelope" option. I have enabled the "Hide when Inactive" in the "Customise
Notifications" area of the task bar.

how can this suddenly disappear? Even if i am running only Outlook, it
doesn' work. The notification area is not crowded with applications but only
a few required ones.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Configure it to Always show or expand your Notification Area; does it show
then?

Enabling the "Hide when inactive" option is probably why you don't see it
any more. For the "You have new unopened items" icon, select "Always show".
