Starting this week, some emails (all of them are sent from internal domain) in Outlook shows yellow envelope icon. Opening and reading this email does not make this icon disappear. The only way to get rid of if it is to reply to the email, then the envelope is replaced with arrow.
Is this some new feature, bug or something is wrong iwth our Exchange server?
This is how it looks like in Outlook:

It is not a change in cosmetics. The icon is random and does not indicate anything in particular. The icon shows on e-mails sent from people within the organization and outside....at random. It isn't consistent, nor does it follow a set rule. Again, not a cosmetic change.
Problem seems to be the message property PR_ICON_INDEX, which is value 0 for affected mails with yellow icon. New mails should be -1 though. After reading, the value will be deleted from outlook, but only if it was -1 previously.
check my post upper in the view menu i think you can remove it from there
What if the end user doesn't want THIS icon, but does want the rest of the icons? This should be able to be turned off in preferences for each user, imo.
