Nbr of e-mails on account screen

[Wayne G. Dengel]

This may be an old question . . . .

Opening screen (XP) displays a list of accounts. Under one, there is a line
"52 e-mails . . ."

This line has no bearing on reality though it does change from 'n' to 1
occassionally.

How is this changed, made to reflect reality? Or even deleted, not
displayed?

Best Regards,
Wayne
