Re:And what's wrong with Outlook? (Score 2, Interesting)

There's a small thing I find really annoying with Outlook, OE and Mozilla mail (which I have to use at work). When you set up a mail rule to mark certain messages as "read", the little icon in the task bar still pops up to say that you have "unread" messages when new messages arrive. So you go to your inbox, and of course all the messages are "read" (like you want). In OE, to get the little "unread messages" icon to dissappear, you have to click on a read message, mark it as "unread", click on it again and mark it "read"!

So the program does something like this:

- check mail and find new messages
- pop up the "unread messages" icon
- check rules and mark messages unread
(thus leaving you with a misleading "unread messages" icon)

What they should do is this:

- check mail and find new messages
- check rules and mark messages unread
- pop up the "unread messages" icon if there are still unread messages
