Disable Mail Scanner Tray Icon?

Hello all. I am running WinXP SP3 using Avast Home 4.8. Is there any way to disable the mail scanner tray icon? It is always there and I don’t like tray icons that impart no information. I am checking mail using IMAP with a client that I always leave open, so I understand why it is always there. But I can’t find any way to disable the icon without disabling mail scanning altogether.

Thanks for your help!

Go to Internet Mail provider settings and disable the icon.
Also, do it for Outlook plugin.

Where are the Internet Mail provider settings?

Left click the ‘a’ blue icon.
Click ‘Details’ button to expand.
Choose Internet Mail provider at left and click ‘Customize’ button.

Thanks! I didn’t see the details button.

You’re welcome. Feel free to come back any time you need help or just to change experiences 8)
