SM 2 seems to have difficulty keeping correct counts of unread
messages in newsgroups. At the moment, even though it displays only
one unread message, the count in the list pane says six. And if I
hit "N" to advance to the next unread message, it cycles through
several messages already marked as read.
I tried unsubscribing and resubscribing, to no effect.
I tried compacting folders, to no effect.
I tried unsubscribing, closing the program, and deleting
mozilla.support.seamonkey.msf and mozilla.support.seamonkey.dat.
When I relaunched and resubscribed, I downloaded all 50,000-odd
messages, marking the old ones as read, and STILL I couldn't get
the count down to zero.
Any ideas? Or is this something SM 2 just doesn't know how to do?
See bugt 446228 - sounds like your problem
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446228>
Looks like it...
In previous versions, I could provoke this behavior by killing threads,
but I know about that and purposely never kill threads anymore,
certainly not since my last rebuild of the folder.
Also, v.2 is different from previous versions in that "N" takes me to a
message marked as read, which never happened before. Previously, if the
count was nonzero but there were no unread messages, "N" would elicit
the prompt "advance to next unread message in [some other folder]?" --
so at some level, SM knows there are no unread messages.
