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.
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.

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.

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>.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
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 [...]
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!

Notification sounds for SpamBayes have already been
implemented, but not integrated into the release version yet.
Sounds like we're getting enough requests for this that we
might want to merge it, at least as a "config-file-only"
experimental option.
I recently installed SpamBayes and it's a great program but the
envelope icon is killing me. I like to answer email right away so
I find myself constantly flipping to Outlook only to find no new
messages there because it was spam.
Interestingly, my old beta copy of Cloudmark SpamNet doesn't
have this problem. It removes the envelope icon when the
message is deleted and marked as read.
Even if I had an option in SpamBayes to remove the envelope
icon whenever SpamBayes detected spam (regardless of
whether there was other new mail there or not), I would turn
it on.
Please please please get this feature in soon!

A simpler workaround (Tested only in Outlook 2000) is to read
all your non-spam e-mail first, then you can look at your
spam e-mail, then you can right click on your Junk E-Mail
folder and click Mark All as Read. That gets rid of the
envelope for me. Tedious, yes... but it works.

Thanks for the input, but the real problem is not being able
to clear the icon (I've already got Python code based on an
earlier comment that will do that) but rather knowing *when*
to clear the icon.
The problem is that SpamBayes only knows about a small
subset of the Outlook mail folders. A user can configure
Outlook rules to move messages to other folders that
SpamBayes doesn't know about, so it is difficult for
SpamBayes to be certain when there are *no* other unread
messages anywhere in Outlook.

Hello everybody!
I wrote my own vba-macro which checks ALL my Outlook
folders under "Inbox". The macro "CountUnreadMessages"
is called from Application_NewMail in ThisOutlookSession.
It has also the possibility to skip certain folders. Just
rename the folder and add "_" as last character of the
name. I know this solution is not quite sophisticated
however it works fine. The program triggers a beep but
you could also open a messagebox or like I did invoke the
assistant which does some funny stuff.
I solved the problem with the normal Outlook notification
by deactivating the "New Mail"-sound and always hiding
the icon in the SysTray.

If you have problems just ask.
Here the code (Maybe you have to tune the waiting time
according to the number of messages you get):
Public Sub CountUnreadMessages()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

SpamBayes to do its work
Dim Inbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim Subfolders As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Set Inbox = GetNamespace("MAPI").
GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Dim nUnreadMessages As Integer
nUnreadMessages =
CountUnreadMessagesInFolder(Inbox)
Set Inbox = Nothing
If nUnreadMessages > 0 Then
'do whatever you want
MsgBow("You have " & nUnreadMessages & "
messages")
Beep
End If
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " :" & Error(Err.Number)
Close #1
Set Inbox = Nothing
End Sub
Private Function CountUnreadMessagesInFolder(oFolder
As Outlook.MAPIFolder) As Integer
'Folders which shall not be searched must end with
"_". Their subfolders will not be searched
If Right(oFolder.Name, 1) = "_" Then
CountUnreadMessagesInFolder = 0
Exit Function
End If
'count mails in subfolders
Dim i As Integer
Dim nUnreadMailsSubFolders As Integer
For i = 1 To oFolder.Folders.count
nUnreadMailsSubFolders = nUnreadMailsSubFolders
+ CountUnreadMessagesInFolder(oFolder.Folders(i))
Next i
'count mails in current folder
Dim j As Integer
Dim nUnreadMailsHere As Integer
Dim oCurMailItem As MailItem
For j = 1 To oFolder.Items.count
If oFolder.Items(j).UnRead Then nUnreadMailsHere
= nUnreadMailsHere + 1
Next j
CountUnreadMessagesInFolder =
nUnreadMailsSubFolders + nUnreadMailsHere
End Function
Public Sub WaitTime(sec As Integer)

Start = Timer 'set starting time
Do While Timer < Start + sec

Yes, you need to uncheck "Search subfolders". If that doesn't
work for you, I can't help, I am sorry. I'm not an Outlook
guru, I just happened to notice this when I changed the
Unread Mail search folder for other reasons.

Just turn off the outlook notification (under advanced e-mail
options). I don't use sound much so I didn't add that, but it's
probably not too hard.
