Keep mail icon only for messages in inbox ???

[rball]

Hello all,

I running Outlook 2002 (XP Home) and SpamBayes. SpamBayes is an anti-spam
filter that automatically removes messages as they arrive if they are deemed
to be spam. (I also have Spam Bayes set up to mark these messages once moved
to the Spam folder as read)

Right now I get the new mail icon in my taskbar (the envelope icon) when any
new mail arrives (no matter if it's a real message and stays in my inbox or
a spam message that is moved to my spam folder). Is there a way I can set
things up so I'll only get the new mail icon for "real" mail that remains in
my inbox?

Each time I get this new mail icon in my taskbar, I switch over to Outlook
only to find no new message (the new message that caused the icon to appear
was spam and moved to the spam folder).


Thanks in advance...

No because with any spam filter that acts on your local machine, the email
has to be downloaded first (at which time it becomes New Mail) in order for
the spam filter to work!

Once it's marked as read by SpamBayes and moved to the spam folder,
shouldn't the mail icon disappear? Right now, when a new spam message comes
in it's marked as read and moved, but the new mail icon remains in my
taskbar.

I used to use Cloudmark (another spam filter) and it worked the way I'm
trying to get this one to work.

Isn't there a way to have this new mail icon disappear when the message has
been marked as read (and no longer a new mail message)?

Thanks in advance...
