| | Number of "messages" not relating to actual number The bottom bar shows 49 messages, 0 unread. In fact there are only 14 messages in my inbox! It hasn't reset itself in over 4 days now! How does the bottom bar get fixed to show actual number of messages in my Inbox? -- delraybuzz |

| | Re: Number of "messages" not relating to actual number Not really using Quick Views; discovered there were 3 messages in it earlier today that should have made it to my INBOX but didn't! So I opened them and found they were mail I had been searching for! 2009 WLM is a mess, as far as I'm concerned. As for GbH, if you'd understood Steffo's reply, he mentions Bulk Mail, which I don't know about! -- delraybuzz "Michael Santovec" wrote: Quote: > Are you using Quick Views? > > Repairing Windows Live Mail Quick Views Counter > http://liveunplugged.spaces.live.com...90CA!205.entry > > > -- > > Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm > > > > "Buzz" <delraybuzz@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:0762E7B4-DD44-4390-B5EE-7F79760EB4FC@xxxxxx Quote: > > The bottom bar shows 49 messages, 0 unread.

| | Re: Number of "messages" not relating to actual number There are no messages in Quick views. Did you run the repair that Michael mentioned? In this thread you say Inbox.

| | Re: Number of "messages" not relating to actual number Mike, I sort of ignored your recommendation initially, since I don't use Quick Views often. HOWEVER, I clicked the link you included, and there was something concerning deleting RSS feeds, and that may indeed be when my problem started! I deleted about 16 outdated feeds I had not opened, since they downloaded when I signed up a few days ago. Lo and behold, therer appeared about 18 RSS feeds from the same address, which I then deleted. That may be when I discovered numbers were not corelating with actual messages, and mail was not appearing in WLM from my comcast.net account. Your link for Repairing WLM Quick Views Counter starts to make sense, and I thank you, but printing it is a real problem as it prints a black page (Goodby new ink cartridge) with illegible white text! I've tried cut and paste, select all, etc. I need your advice again on how to print it so I can follow it! Which brings me to...Do I dare mess with my registry? I have Registry Mechanic running, but am nervous about doing a Regedit myself! At 81, this technical age is running away from me! Thank you for all your help! -- delraybuzz "Michael Santovec" wrote: Quote: > Are you using Quick Views? > > Repairing Windows Live Mail Quick Views Counter > http://liveunplugged.spaces.live.com...90CA!205.entry > > > -- > > Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm > > > > "Buzz" <delraybuzz@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:0762E7B4-DD44-4390-B5EE-7F79760EB4FC@xxxxxx Quote: > > The bottom bar shows 49 messages, 0 unread.
