Fooled again

[TNCaver]

Every time I glance down at my taskbar these days I think I've got new email. But no, it's just the new briefcase on the Microsoft Edge for Business icon fooling me. Again. Sigh.

That sort of implies you look forward to emails. ;P

I don't know about you but it (along with the small Work tab when you open it) annoyed me to the point that I switched to chrome!! Good riddance.

If something's urgent, people can phone me. Otherwise I decide when I check for new email. If I had a mail app that checked every minute or something I'd be even less productive than I already am! ... plus I currently have 10 active email accounts, so I get to choose whether I'm checking work-specific stuff, general stuff, or one of several very niche (in a good way) interests.

Eminence Front would have worked as well, if a tad more subtle.

The only thing that annoys me about Edge is the new icon, and I can live with that. I like Edge too much, and hate Google too much, to switch to Chrome.

Sure, but I don't get a lot of email so when one comes in it's usually something I need to take action on. Unless I'm in a zone I'll look at it. And we tend to use Teams chat rather than phones these days since we no longer actually have physical phones.

Maybe you could create a local, non admin account and launch Edge under that account? That would detach your work id? I thought it was an email as well until I broke out the magnifier and saw the handle. Now a days, they should have used a back pack icon! Briefcase is from Win3.1/95
