I've seen this problem listed in several places, but have yet to find a
satisfactory answer. Here's my sitation: I have a computer that shows
an incorrect number of unread messages in the Outlook Express Inbox
whenever it downloads messages. Sometimes it's only 1 more than the
number it downloaded, sometimes more. I'm not subscribed to any
newsgroups, nor do I have any rules or mail filters enabled, including
junk mail filters. We've had this problem through two different IMAP
accounts, two different ISPs, two different email addresses, and on two
different Windows user accounts, all on the same computer. POP3
accounts seem to work OK. The PC in question is running Windows XP
SP2, has all of the latest patches from Windows Update, as well as the
latest IE/OE installed. And there are no viruses or spyware on the PC.
I've tried everything I can think of, including reinstalling the
latest version of IE, and I'm just about ready to pull my hair out.
Please help me!
 
This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002 & 2003 from the
Office family for Intel PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in
one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...express&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...express&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...express&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups
microsoft.public.internet.mail.mac for the Macintosh version of OE
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ess.mac&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)
