    Happens every day for me and ironically I dumped the skill points for hireling mails so that can't be the issue.

    Sometimes the mail gets stuck. You need to relog or wait a bit until you can read it and pick any attachments. I also have a problem with mails that are delivered, can be read and looted, but can't be deleted unless I log in again.

    I've noticed the problem occurs when you get both a mail and a guild notification (or any sort of message notification) at the same time. If it's either or, the icons disappear.

    The mail icon does not refer exclusively to mail. Check your other notifications (not just the things in the notifications category in your menu) and if your mail has any attachments.
