yea, it only did that for about 5 minutes, it appears to be working fine
now. thanks anyways
 
You connect to different servers. It takes time for messages to synch. One server that you got the count from knew about the message. The server you attempted to get the message from hasn't yet. OE remembers it wasn't available and doesn't retry.
 
Hi David,

Can you log into M right now?

I thought you were talking about msforums.org. I've had no problems today.

It may well be that your ISP is retaining them for a very short time on
its server. Switch to using the Microsoft one - msnews.microsoft.com
No logon is needed
