Summary: Hide envelope icon when only spam received

Initial Comment:
When during automatic receiving session only spam 
messages was received it is desired to remove envelope 
icon from tray. Probably this option should be switched 
off by default with the possibility to switch it on from 
the configuration file.

Mark, 

I just downloaded your program and it seems to work fine. 
Unfortionately i still need the macro (see below) to get rid of 
the original outlook mail notification. This macro also 
eliminates all sounds of incoming mail/ham. Isn't it possible to 
do this all in your program? 
To have a audible notification on ham and silence on spam?
No icon (not even a blue or black one) when spam is received 
and a mail notification when ham is received?

I very much like that i can now see the number of emails i 
have received in contrast to "You have unread items" which is 
the normal outlook notification.

Keep up the good work!

I wrote a C# program to replace the outlook notify icon w/ 
my own.  The code for this is at

Reacting on all before. Would'nt it be the best option to allow 
a rule or macro to be defined that can be runned after spam 
and ham is processed? In other words an extra option in the 
spambayes filtering dialog. 

[Move] spam to folder [...]
[X] Mark spam as read
[X] Process following rule or macro [...]

Indeed the macro proposed by Ghuron does exactly that. It 
does not block the sounds though. More info on the macro on

Mark - what do you think of the idea of providing our own 
icon in the tray (and a sound) when we classify mail as [user-
defined selection of ham/unsure/spam]?  In your opinion, do 
you think that we could successfully determine when these 
messages were read so that we could clear the flag?  Would 
you be opposed to this rather off-topic feature appearing in 
the plug-in?

If your comments are positive, then I might try and write 
some code to do this at some point, if only to stop the 
incessant requests for this feature <wink>.

>From the list:
My outlook always plays a sound when new mails do arrive - 
also when new spam comes in. Since 90% of my mails are 
spam, this is really nerving. If spambayes could give out a 
sound when no-spam-mails arrive, then I could switch off the 
the standard-sound of outlook and only Spambayes 
reports "good" mails. Then we again have a true accustical 
message, when important mail arrive and are not irritated by 
spam.

I'm not a Visual Basic/Windows expert.  But having used 
Outlook for a while, I *can* tell you that setting emails 
to "read" status stops the envelope icon coming up.  This 
would probably be the easiest fix, and would also stop the 
spam folder coming up with bold text to draw your attention 
to it.

Since I could not attach files to #774908 I'm doing it here :) 
This is an example of how to hide envelope icon in tray.

Sorry, duplicated to #774908. Too bad that nothing can be 
done here
