Re: Windows Mail & Usenet

Well, I decided to not do anything about it. Then this morning the unread message count was 5 when all messages are read. Then I exited the program & restarted it, and the unread message count was 0 again after all messages were read. It's these gremlins in the machine!

Hi Bob,

Yes, it happens. There are two things that cause this:

a) A synch occurred with the server, but the message didn't download. Sometimes this happens when you go offline momentarily or upload a message. Re-synching can correct this condition.

b) The server reported an incorrect number of messages and the newsreader didn't correct the count. This one won't go away until the server is corrected, as Windows Mail is not capable of recognizing and correcting the figure as are some other newsreaders.

Somehow when you have all messages read it still indicates 1 message unread in the news reader in Microsoft Mail. Anyone else run into this problem?
