Blinking icon in tray stopped blinking

I have the last of the Mailwasher Pro v6.5.4 installed on XP Pro SP3

This is not a serious issue but one one I have come to depend on for my work.

I have the option set for the Mailwasher tray icon to 'blink' every time I receive new email. For some reason this has stopped working recently.
- I have unchecked and re-checked the option (under 'General Options' > 'blink icon when new email arrives')
- I have also re-installed Mailwasher 6.5.4 (over the existing one)

No joy. The b!inki*g button will not blink. Any pointers? Thanks

Subject to being accurately set up (from within the GUI,) - the MWP icon at the Notification Area blinks only when:--
  • the MWP 6 window is inactive
  • the path to the audio file is correctly mapped and
  • Windows is also able to play the audio sound file (apart from MWP.)

Hi, thanks for the post. Just so as I understand everything you are saying:

- The blinking happens when all three conditions are true? (AND condition)
- I have always had the audio notification checked off (enough noise around as there is). However, I am quite sure point 3 is true, and bullet 2 is irrelevant (?), as i have disabled sound. MWP is inactive, this is why I rely on the *visual* blink to bring MWP back up.

My issue is - the current set up was working for well ever since I installed v6.5.4 (over 7 sears ago?). However, one of the system updates or 'cleanups' has upset it. I was hoping a total re-install would solve the problem, but it hasn't.
