Re: 'Waving flag' icon out of sync with alert sound

Is the tray icon still showing the "checking for mail" animated icons? Yes, the little eyes pop up when I check manually (double-click) and during auto-check. If I do a manual check during the period after the alert has sounded and before the flag (eventually) appears, I see the 'checking...

Re: 'Waving flag' icon out of sync with alert sound

If I don't open PP (and I never do) then the flag will go away after I retrieve messages using TBird, but not until the next auto-check, as above. Ok, we can agree that this is the expected behavior? Yep, I didn't mean to make it mysterious. What color is the envelope in this case? A blue envelope ...

Re: 'Waving flag' icon out of sync with alert sound

OK, I have more to report. After an auto-check that sounds the alert, the flag doesn't appear until the next auto-check, in my case two minutes. If I do a manual check during that interval by double-clicking the tray icon, it does a check (the eyeballs blink) but still the flag doesn't show up until...

Re: 'Waving flag' icon out of sync with alert sound

I have to say, I don't use PP for anything except the tray notification. I never open its interface unless I'm modifying an email account or making some other needed change. Nothing has changed in that area for a couple of years. And It's all strictly POP3, no use of IMAP, SMTP, webmail, Gmail etc. ...

'Waving flag' icon out of sync with alert sound

Forgive me -- I might be over-explaining because I don't know the correct terms. And I might have missed a thread here for the same reason. Ever since V5, when I get a new mail notification, I hear the alert sound, but the little waving flag doesn't appear in the tray for a minute or so. Likewise, t...
