Have you tried setting the Inbox to Show Unread Only?
Have you tried right-click on Inbox and Mark Folder Read?


Thanks BTS.  I haven't tried either since it seems that they would both
remove previous read messages and I don't want to do that.


Not to worry, display options in the newsreader don't remove messages,
they only hide them. When you change your settings, a different subset
of messages is shown, but the entire set is still available.

I would've said to set your options to display all messages, and then
hit N to advance to the Next unread message. If that doesn't do it,
the program is confused like it used to be.



I have had a similar problem, which turns out to be a spammer that sends
a message with a false date of e.g. 10 years ago, so it goes to the top
of the  list. I find it and delete it and all is ok, but it wastes time.

You can fix *that* problem by manipulating the sort order.
Click on the column head of the green star next to the 'Date' column and 
unread messages go to the bottom even if they are dated on the ancient 
Egyptian scale.

No, it will not remove any messages, only control the visibility depending 
on the selection you make. If you change from Show Unread Only to Show 
All, there they all are.

Your erroneous count could be due to a mis-numbering in the control file. 
It could happen perhaps if a message was filtered (and still showing as 
Unread but you can't see it).
