New Mail icon not in system tray

The “display an icon in the system tray” item is checked in preferences. New mail comes in. The icon is not displayed. This was working and now has stopped. I have not been able to determined what changed to caused this to stop working. 8.5.1 FP1 client on XP SP3 32-bit. The same Notes release works properly on my 7 64 bit system. I’m aware of SPR ID MSUH7J6DYX, APAR LO46631 and technote 1326712 but the symptoms there are different.

My scenario: Notes in background NOT on inbox tab. Mail comes in. No icon in tray. Popup works but is unacceptable as it is disruptive. Sound works but is unacceptable is I have sound off most of the time due to ads on various sites.

I tried some forum suggestions relating to removing the NewMailSeqNum entries from ini but that didn’t change anything.

A debug trace with ini entries below shows reproduction of the problem.

Any ideas? Thanks. Tom
