Quick view News Count

The 'Quick views' function has started acting rather strangely.

Even though all downloaded newsgroup messages have been read, 'Quick views'
lists three unread messages and the 'All news' quick view consistently shows
three more messages than appear in the relevant newsgroups after
synchronization. The three 'extra' messages are from a single newsgroup and
they can neither be marked as read, deleted nor moved to another location.
They do not show at all in the main newsgroup account.

Windows Live Mail reports that the messages cannot be viewed. To all intents
and purposes they don't seem to exist, apart from in the 'Quick view' view.
Any attempt to do anything with them results in an error message.

Has anyone seen this before?
Can anyone suggest why it might be happening?

The Quick views will break in the current version of WLMail (12.0.1606) if any folder is deleted (in an Account or under Storage folders), if a Feed is deleted, or if one un-subscribes to a Newsgroup.

Your problem appears to be due to a combination of a broken Quick views and you having possibly deleted some unread news posts, or having unsubscribed to a newsgroup which contained the unread posts.

Repairing the Quick views should correct the problem until they break again).

To repair the broken Quick views, delete the registry Value "SearchFolderVersion" under the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail. This will cause WLMail to rebuild its Quick view data store when it is next started.
