All News folder

I've got 5 unread messages in this folder that no matter what I just can't
get rid of. (Even after doing maintenance--clean up thing). How can I
empty this folder? Thankyou for any and all help!

Re: All News folder

Hi mrhangster.

It would appear that your Quick views have broken.

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.

Repairing your Quick views should fix the problem you are experiencing.

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.

If you are unsure about editing the registry, you could simply use PaulM's script, which will do the job no hassles.

I have examined and tested it, and found that it works well and is safe.

The download for his script can be found at http://www.paulsxp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=101
