It doesn't *sound* like an impossibility. If it has to grep, or whatever, then surely it also has to do it when you enter a maillbox (in order to write the index). Once it has that info could it not keep an internal count of read/unread as you examine the messages. And if it could do that couldn't it display the info in the browser. I'm probably missing something obvious :-) -- John Keniry
