This article was previously published under Q290030

SYMPTOMS

Although you set up a rule that deletes a specified e-mail message as it arrives, a New Mail icon still appears on the taskbar.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because rules act on a message after the message arrives in the Inbox, when the New Mail icon is already generated.
