Yesterday I got a corrupted message in my pop account that PM couldn't
download properly; it received enough to trigger a filter (specifically:
a filter-based alert sound) but would give an error before completion,
with the result that the mail never appeared in the Recent Mail Window
and was not deleted from the server, so the problem persisted with every
mail check.

Being a level-headed chap I downloaded Mail Siphon and remotely deleted
the message on the POP server. Fine. The bottleneck was cleared and mail
has downloaded without problems since.

However: during the failed download attempts, another symptom showed up;
two folders have become enboldened without having any visible unread
messages inside them. One is the folder pertaining to the person who sent
the corrupted email -- evidently PM downloaded enough info for my filing
filters to *try* and put it into the correct folder. The other emboldened
folder is the In Box.

Neither of these 2 folders have any unread messages in them, yet persist
in indicating that they do. I've tried a database rebuild, both basic and
low level, using PM's own repair features, but it has made no difference.
I don't want these two folders permanently bold, what can I do? Maybe
this is one for CTM to chime in on?

Cheers
Rick
