Mail icon lit, nothing in mail.

"You've got mail!"
"Oh, sweet, I guess those things sold. ...wait, there's nothing here."
"...You've got mail!"

Since the last update, if I receive mail, my Mail icon on the top bar remains lit, even if I read and delete all messages. Checking my mail, even when empty, also triggers this.
It can be temporarily resolved by forcing a loading screen.
It's not a major thing, but it's a pain - I never know when I do have mail, and it bugs me that it's permalit.

    Check your mail on Neverwinter Gateway.
    This happened to me, and I saw on gateway that it was a mail from someone I had ignored in-game.

    Checked. I am empty of mail, both in-game and in gateway, and yet it glows.

    it happened to me once, i deleted loads of mail so quick that some didn't check as read. Can't remember how it went away.(possibly after i reinstalled the game or after a patch)

    Here's the glitchola: if you have a mail that you did NOT click on and delete it - the "read/unread" flag is still set. You need to actually CLICK on a message to mark it read. Now, here's how to fix this:Send a new message to yourself. Then close the mail window. Now open the mail window again and go to your incoming. CLICK the new message so it's marked read and the blowy turns off. Now delete the message.That blowy is a simple on/off toggle. If it doesn't get tripped it forgets itself. Like a light switch.Here's how I always handle mail: I always go to the oldest "new" message (bottom of the list) and then click on each new message, read it it, take any attachments. Then, after I've read all the new mail and taken attachments I'll go back to the oldest message (at the bottom and work my way upward to the top) and delete them. It works for me and I've never had the persistent blowy problem again. But it's a simple problem so your mileage will vary.

    Sheesh - Forum is FUBAR right now - my paragraph breaks are removed, can't see what I'm writing in compose and can't go back to edit previous messages. I apologize, I hope readers can figure out what I was trying to say.
