I have read all the messages in my InBox but it still displays "inbox" in bold saying there are unread messages. If I close and restart mozilla it's still there. I have several pop accounts, now two of them won't go below two unread messages. This seems to appear randomly. It first happened when I was playing with mail filtering, but it seems to have happened again (one more increment) during normal use.

reassigning to bienvenu.

I have the same problem, due to some corrupted files. Deleting these will help (deleting user50 dir will do it surely :). Confirming bug. Reporter,do you recall what you were doing when the miscount appeared and which build were you using?

you probably need to delete the *.msf file that corresponds with your mail folder. This file is located in the users50 directory. You don't need to delete the entire directory. The key would be to find out what the cause of this is.

accepting, but I don't now how to reproduce this.

Timothée, if you delete your .msf files, does this go away? Lisa, you were having similar message count problems in the past. Are you still having them? If this can't be reproduced I'd say we should mark this WORKSFORME until we know this is still happening. I haven't had message count problems in a while. Moving to M18.

sorry guys, I'm no longer testing the mail/news component. I switched to it for a while as my main email client but I went back to Eudora. It's just not stable enough yet. If I can manage to reproduce or understand when this happens I'll let you know.

david - mark this wfm if you'd like. I have not had any msg count problems in a while.

it's still there in M17 I started using the mozilla mail client this morning and now I have two accounts that keep saying I have two unread messages and I can't see them anywhere in InBox. Maybe it's related to the settings I use for these POP3 servers: check for new messages automatically download any new message leave messages on server delete messages on server when deleted locally I would be willing to look more into the problem but I have no idea where to start from.

adding mail3 keyword

changing priorities

It happens a lot less now that mail-news is more stable. The only way it happens actually is if mozilla crashes while it's downloading mail or something. There must be a state where the mail is not actually there but the count is updated already or something. Anyway removing the .msf always does the trick but it's not a solution for the end user.

marking nsbeta1+. this is a bug that affects a lot of people based on feedback response.

moving to mozilla0.8 milestone.

moving to mozilla0.9
