PC Win: No Notification for IPC-Type Messages

Article ID: 102753

Article Last Modified on 10/30/2006



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Mail Client 3.0
  • Microsoft Mail Client 3.0
  • Microsoft Mail Client 3.2



This article was previously published under Q102753

SYMPTOMS

The version 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2 Microsoft Mail for Windows mail spooler suppresses the New Mail notification for messages whose message type begins with "IPC."

CAUSE

This is was by design. IPC messages do not appear in the Inbox; therefore, it would be undesirable to ring the bell and display the New Mail icon.

This also implies that if you are a developer writing an application that uses IPC-type messages, you need to poll for new mail.
