Email notification problem

though when
I closed the program the icon disappeared from the system tray,

When you close OE, you will not see the icon in the systems tray near the clock, only when you minimize OE.

best regards,

Thanks for all your help, I've decided to change to 'Windows Live Mail' as my default, and the change over was simple and pretty clean,some saved mail didn't cross, though as you said I still can access it through 'Outlook Express'. Thanks for all !!

jkc73. Glad to be of assistance. You will not be disappointed with WLM I am sure. All the best,
