2058.0. "V3.0 EFT1 - Stale data and New Mail Notification" by MASS10::GERRY (One of those awfully nice AlphaStudio people) Thu Mar 13 1997 08:11

If Teamlinks is setup to check for new mail when it gets to the end of its
current newmail list, the new mail notifier window is not reset and still list
the new mail found. This problem is in 2.5 and 2.7 as well!

2058.1Reading messages in Infoman has no impact on New Mail Notification windowXANADU::qwert.zko.dec.com::mcclungJohn McClung, 381-2774Thu Mar 13 1997 13:1616
Gerald,

The New Mail Notification application is updated when messages arrive from the 
server. TeamLinks (Infoman) does not even need to be running. Nothing you do in 
Infoman (such as reading new messages) has any impact on the New Mail 
Notification app.

To clear the the window, you can simply press the OK button.

John,

I accept that this is not a bug as such in TeamLinks, BUT it is a useability
problem (or if you like a "Human factors" or an "ergonomics" problem).

Its more annoying than anything else!

Gerald,

I see your point about wanting New Mail Notification to clear itself 
after checking for new mail from TeamLinks. But some users would prefer it to 
not do this.  Perhaps it could be optional. 

This is related to several other suggested improvements to how New Mail 
Notification and TeamLinks/Infoman relate to each other. Please enter a PTR if 
it's important to you.

Thanks,

John
