UPDATE: While typing this question, I received 1 new email (to my Hotmail acct). The number will remain even into starting Windows 10 the next day, not changing value even though new mail has been received, read and or deleted via other email access (mobile phone). I log into each account via the respective web portal or via Outlook 2016 (for my Hotmail acct) and no unread After reading unread emails (from the 3 accounts), the unread count over the icon remains. Sometimes the unread count (number in a circle over the bottom right portion of the mail icon)ĭoes not clear. I have my Hotmail and 2 other personal email accounts in Windows 10 mail app.
The mail icon in the task bar continues to show unread mail when none present. Taskbar Mail icon continues to show unread mail count after emails are read
