Folders Not Updating Unread Message Count

Lately, I've noticed that when downloading messages, the number in
parentheses (to the right of the folder name) in the folder pane
sometimes does not increment. This is especially noticeable when
downloading newsgroup messages at the default setting of 300 at a
time. If I close WLM, and re-start it, the updated message counts
appear correctly. This seems to have started after updating Vista to
SP1, but I don't know if there is any correlation. Is anyone else
experiencing this issue?

Re: Folders Not Updating Unread Message Count

This has happened to me every so often. However not often enough to see a
pattern. I just shut down and restart and all is okay.

I do not use the limit of 300 per batch.

Re: Folders Not Updating Unread Message Count

The setting that limits downloads to 300 messages seems
to cause a number of problems. I suggest you uncheck that
setting.
