342481 2005-04-07 09:23:00 I have just noticed that the numbers for the number of new messages in my inboxes have dissappeared. Anyone got any ideas how to get them back??

342484 2005-04-07 10:43:00 Right-clicking the Inbox folder (or any other folder) in the folders pane, selecting "Properties" from the pop-up menu. The "General" tab will tell you the number of messages.

It is not a good idea to store a large number of messages in your inbox, it is not designed for that. Delete any you don't want or move them to another folder.
If you receive a corrupted message sometime and have to delete the inbox.dbx file to get things working again you will loose all your messages in your inbox.

342485 2005-04-07 11:33:00 yeah, I must say I am reluctant to delete messages. However until this afternoon when I received messages the inbox showed how many new ones there were. theother1 (3573)

Yep, checked that. But hey, I deleted several million of the messages only keeping a squillion or so of the important stuff. Closed it down and reopened it and sent myself a message and the numbers (for unopened messages) reappeared. Magic!
Thanks guys.

342490 2005-04-08 00:06:00 So you got the numbers back into the range of 32-bit integers then... +/- 2,000,000,000 or so.. ;) Graham L (2)
