Vista - unread

All of my newsgroups show items unread in the footer, even though there are
none when scanning and none are found when Cntl/U is used as it also reports
no unread messages. Each has a different number and the number in some
groups has been increasing. Only installed for 5 days. Vista64.

That's normal. The count WinMail got from the server isn't correct. Been
that way for years. Eventually it works itself out then goes off again later
and works itself out and goes off again and on and on and on...

Funny, in all the years of XP86 and XP64 I never had the problem. But that
was with OE and not Mail.

Sometimes happens and you don't notice it but it's been happening for years.

It happened in OE, too. At least on some servers. But there is a brand new
bug in WinMail. If Group Messages by conversation is selected it will
sometimes hide a few messages. Try unchecking that.
