i have noticed that even after reading messages in a given folder --be it a folder that receives filtered email, or even my Inbox-- the new message count doesn't update properly. in my case, after i've read all the unread messages --and even deleted [and emptied the trash] messages i don't want to keep-- the new message count doesn't always go to zero [or, rather, a bold number is still displayed]. strangely, this doesn't happen with *all* my folders. for example, on my linux box at the office, it's only my bugmail folder [which receives filtered mail] that doesn't display properly. but on my linux box at home, it's my inbox that doesn't display properly. again, this might be due to some mail configuration differences [perhaps minor ones in my filters?]. i can attach a screenshot, if you want. i've noticed this with builds since 2001.08.06.08 --it might be an older problem than that, though... unfortunately, i don't really have steps that cause this problem to occur, it's more of an observation --if anyone has actual steps to get this to crop, do add it here! let me know if there are any workarounds for this. eg, should i remove the summary files?

No steps that I know of. Seen on win32. I haven't seen it again after installing the aug09 build.

I have still seen this behavior on Linux with Aug10 build. Here is a screenshot showing (2) new msgs in INBOX even though there are none: http://www.cleepdar.com/~stew/images/2001_08_10_112229_shot.png

yep, i see this with the 2001.08.09.10-comm verif bits. exiting and restarting mail doesn't clear it up either, fwiw.

I started seeing this in the last couple of days. I've had my imap inbox opened on two computers at once (Bad me!), becauise I've been moving arround. Could that be the problem? I removed the summary file and it was fixed. I didn't keep a copy of it, though.

In goofing with this futher, I found that Highlighting all Messages and then marking them all as read (Message->Mark->As Read) will clear this up (or just CTRL+SHIFT+C) as far as the count next to INBOX in the Sidebar. This however doesn't properly reset the "Total: N" box on the Status bar. The status bar still shows 2 more messages in my INBOX than are actually there. You can see in the following screenshot that my INBOX has only 10 messages but the Status Bar's "Total: " line shows 12: http://www.cleepdar.com/~stew/images/2001_08_13_134907_shot.png

my belief is that this is a dup of bug 94329, or has the same cause, in any case. Marking all read will fix the count, and then I don't belief you'll be able to recreate this bug after that, assuming you're running a build that has the fix for bug 94329.
