Hi,
with regard to the FAQ 3.8 How can I get rid of the envelope tray icon for spam? for Outlook.
I have found that if I select "Mark All as Read" from the context menu for the Spam folder, then the envlope icon disappears.
It may be possible to do this via the outlook automation interface, I have no idea. If not, I think it would be worth a mention in the FAQ list, instead of just stating that "you'll have to put up with the little envelope, sorry".
Thanks for the suggestion. I already have a bit of code that can remove the envelope icon from the tray, but unfortunately there is a bit more to the problem. What most people want is to avoid having to open Outlook to find out whether all the new messages are spam or not. So they want SpamBayes to remove the envelope icon automatically if there are no "interesting" new messages. But how do we determine, after we classify a new message as spam, that there are no other "interesting" messages that still haven't been read? Because the user can set up Outlook rules to move messages anywhere they want, it is impossible to know specific folders to check for unread messages and it would be very time-consuming to search every folder in the Outlook store for unread messages each time we classified a message as spam. -- Kenny Pitt
