Hi all,

Outlook 2000 It seems the taskbar icon (little envelope
that says You have new unopened items) shows up correctly
when I get new mail but does not always go away.
Sometimes it has been up all day, and it drives me crazy
as I work in several programs and keep flipping back to
Outlook for no reason. Working in a Win2K corporate
environment.

Thoughts?
 
Ok, I am an idiot :) I have rules forwarding certain
messages over to folders to get rid of some regular emails
we get, I suspect these emails were being forwarded to the
folders and staying unread, this caused the envelope to
stay up until I got another email that landed in my Inbox
and I marked it read.

Keep this in mind for anyone else who has problems like
this, check the rules and all places unread mails go.
