Mailwasher Pro and Notification Area

I cannot get Mailwasher Pro to always "show" in the notification area. I don't have any problems with any other program in how it's setup - just Mailwasher Pro.

I want it to be set for "Show icon and notifications" but most of the time when I start Mailwasher Pro it will start in the default mode "only show notifications" but even if I get an e-mail I don't get the notification. I reset it to "show icon and notifications" and it's OK until I reboot and start Mailwasher then it may or may not keep the "show icon and notification" setting.

I suspect it's a Mailwasher issue rather than a Win 7 issue but I'm posting in case someone has a fix for it.

I have V 6.5.3 (I think the latest version). I have all system sounds turned off as I also use my PC for my recording studio and I can't have potential system sounds interferring with recording. When I have my recording program (Sonar) set up, I exit Mailwasher (and any browser, etc) as I want Sonar to have exclusive use of the system.

With M/W set to "show icons and notification" it will blink when I get a message.

I looked at the M/W forum and I see others with the same issue posted there, but no responses to the posts. I didn't have the problem in Vista so I would suspect it's a compatibililty issue with M/W and Windows 7 or at least Windows 7 64 bit.

I "Think" I have the problem fixed by running Mailwasher Pro in Vista compatibility mode. Since implementing the compatibility mode I have no problems keeping the application set to "show icons and notification".

Update the change to running in Vista compatibility has fixed the notification area problem with Mailwasher Pro.
