Non-existant junk mail appearing in IMAP inbox

Hi,

I am facing a unique problem- I am seeing 1000's of spam mails in my IMAP
inbox folder of ALL gmail accounts, but I just don't see them when I access
these accounts through web. Isnt this totally weird?

Whats more weird is that I am repeatedly deleting them but again they are
appearing on synchronising the folders !!

And this is not happening with my hotmail account ...I do not understand how
are these "ghost" mails appearing in WLM when I can't see them on the
server. And why are they not vanishing when I am deleting them !

Does anyone have any clue?

TIA

Re: Non-existant junk mail appearing in IMAP inbox

Gmail puts SPAM in a junk folder. WLM QuickView displays
everything in the QuickView, including stuff in the junk
folder.

Re: Non-existant junk mail appearing in IMAP inbox

Try the fix for broken Quick views.

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.

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.
