Hi,
I sat down and looked on the internet for a additional Icon program to show you of the progress of a download of a Outlook Express message.
Really did not find one so I went into the Avast "online Access Scanner" program boxes and found that Avast did give one an acceptable indicator.
This was found in the = "Internet Mail" = Customise =- Advanced = tick checked "Show detailed Info on Performed Action" also I feel the "Show Tray Icon when scanning mail" was previously been checked.
Please Note!
Now when one has a large sized email comming in or going out you do see a "Strip Indication" showing you all is going all OK
Many thanks
Colin
