Hey there. Simple question. We used to get a little yellow mail icon on our taskbar, near the clock when we received new mail. We recently needed to reinstall Outlook 2000, and now the mail icon is not there. I have been through the settings and cannot find where I can configure this.
Thanks

I would try to reconfigure the mail support. To do this go to Tools - Options - Mail Services - and click on Reconfigure Mail Support. Then all you have to do is just follow the wizard.

The envelope notification for outlook is usually white. ACT, on the other hand, gives you a yellow envelope. If ACT is installed, it may have taken ownership of your email while Outlook was uninstalled.

You need to ensure that Outlook is set up to be your default mail handler before it will automatically notify. Under tools/options/general check whether you have a tick against "This application is the default mail handler" and if not, click the button that makes it so.

Hope this helps.
