From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417 BuildID: 2002041711 The mail notification system tray icon occasionally remains/stays after reading a new message. For example, right now I only have one IMAP account being checked. "Inbox" is no longer bold and not showing "Inbox (1)" in bold. But the yellow triangle with black exclamation point is still showing--even though I no longer have "1 new message". Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: I don't know of steps to reproduce. It doesn't happen all the time. I haven't found the pattern yet.
This bug was fixed recently. Please REOPEN if it still happens in a current build. pi *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 133130 ***

As far as I know, I'm using the latest build, or RC1. The download page doesn't include the build number, only "mozilla-win32-1.0rc1-installer.exe". The mail notifier icon wouldn't go away for anything in this version, and it only happens occasionally.

For the latest version use the QA menu and choose "Lates Builds". Your version is available in Help/About Mozilla.
Found the reason why the yellow triangle mail notification icon remains on system tray sometimes. If you read the e-mail message (message state changes to "read") really quickly BEFORE the notification icon has a chance to appear on the system tray, the icon will appear anyway--and remain even though the message is no longer "new". It does this because it the order in which the icon is displayed is wrong. That system tray icon should be the first thing that is displayed instead of last. What happens now is that the new mail sound is played, the sliding new mail popup appears and slides away (takes time), and THEN the system tray icon appears. This delay is what causes the state to become messed up, and causes that icon to remain on the system tray. Using Build ID: 2002041711 (RC1)
Scott - try a build of RC3.
