| 108207 | 2002-12-22 06:27:00 | I'm using Windows 98 and Outlook Express 6, and every time I get my new emails in, it likes to add a "bonus" multiplier of seven to the number of new emails I have. For example, if it has downloaded three new messages, the words in the status bar area will say "21 new messages". Anyone know why the hell it does this? |

| 108209 | 2002-12-22 08:12:00 | Are you sure thats not a plus. 2+1=3 :p The only thing I can think of is doing a repair of OE. |

| 108211 | 2002-12-27 10:12:00 | Perhaps there were really 21 emails. If you have a spam filter operating OE may have rejected 18 of them and only displayed the 3 that were accepted. You only have to use Mailwasher or a similar program to see the amount of junk there is around. |

| 108212 | 2002-12-27 21:52:00 | Do you have any message rules that leave certain messages on the server, eg emails over a certain size or from certain people? If so it will show the total number of emails available but not download them all into your inbox. | tommy (2826) | ||
