| Guest | Re: Tray icon does not dissapear when i close live mail Hi fieseler: I'm not sure if it's weird, but it is unresolved. This bug is several builds old; yet, it seems to be resolved on most of my systems since the previous build. ~ Mark fieseler wrote: Quote: > > Im having a weird problem where i close live mail, but sometimes the > tray > icon & background service (wlmail.exe) will not shut down. |

| Guest | Re: Tray icon does not dissapear when i close live mail How did you shutdown live mail? If you right-click on the tray icon and select "Exit", does it go away?

| Guest | Re: Tray icon does not dissapear when i close live mail Same problem here. Only seems to happen after I've sent a msg. Shutting down tray icon doesn't help.

| Guest | Re: Tray icon does not dissapear when i close live mail I've found that, if I just ignore the icon and continue working, the NEXT time I switch on my computer and connect and then when I close WLM again, the icon goes away normally. Perhaps it is synching something somewhere and needs to be 'in action' as it were...

| Guest | RE: Tray icon does not dissapear when i close live mail I have the same problem only my tray icon disappears but the wlmail process doesn't close on exit. I can't start live mail again until I kill all the wlmail processes that are running.

I hope you are at least inspecting what they are doing, e.g. using Task Manager's Processes tab and delaying your killing spree if there is any activity (especially I/O activity) associated with them? You may have to use the View menu to add additional statistics; otherwise use Process Explorer. For example, apparently WLM still has some kind of compaction procedure which may operate *after* you close it. Killing it in the middle of that might result in corrupting whatever files it would have been updating. Etc. In that scenario I imagine what might be happening is that you have reached the limit of the number of closes before the cleanup procedure gets invoked so it starts doing its thing in the background under the closing task. So then if you terminate it prematurely I suspect what could happen is that you would just see the same thing the next time until you a) allow the cleanup procedure to complete or b) disable the cleanup procedure (e.g. in the Maintenance dialog before closing the application.) FWIW I have yet to see either feature in effect, so I don't know exactly what you can see and the above is just (educated) speculation. --- Quote: > > "fieseler" wrote: > Quote: >> Im having a weird problem where i close live mail, but sometimes the tray >> icon & background service (wlmail.exe) will not shut down. |

| Guest | Re: Tray icon does not dissapear when i close live mail I did a little experimentation and concur with WayneD. The wlmail.exe process still runs in Task Manager after closing Live Mail, but only if you create a new message. You don't even need to send it. Yet, replying to a message works OK and Live Mail closes fine. Interesting. "WayneD" <WayneD@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:80712D79-A8F2-4B00-96BA-E5AD261376AE@xxxxxx Quote: > Same problem here.
