Question

How do I fix a notification glitch in WLM?

Oct 22, 2013 2:48PM PDT

Sometimes the notification sounds and the new mail icon shows up, but there isn't any new mail. Is there any way to fix this?

Always report it to Microsoft.

I see it's a subject of many posts but MSFT controls this app so they decide if it's going to be fixed.

PS. Did you try Thunderbird?

Maybe you've got some rule to move some mails to the spam folder or delete it? Using an anti-spam program might have the same effect.

I've seen that.

The new email is spam so you get a new mail notification which is TRUE but when you look, the spam rule has fired and there is no mail.

A programmer might not understand this one. A seasoned programmer would.
