Problem of ghost unread posts?

N

Norman Harker

Hi All!

I'm using Outlook Express.

Three times today I'm seeing unread posts reported that can't be
found.

Synchronizing doesn't cure the problem.

When I use Edit > Mark All Read I get an OE hang up.

Ctrl + Alt + Del > End Task

Return to News and the ghost has gone.

Anyone else? Cause? Solution?

Not critical but annoying. I wonder if it's a remains of a spam that's
been removed before I read it.

Hi lil'bit!

Probably going to be like going to the doctor and having the pain go
away in the waiting room. :)
