When asked for how many files to download I responded with '0' and delete the rest. Note: When I did the above and responded with more that '0' in step the problem still existed. Perhaps there is some bad or corrupted file in the news server?Probably not, since we have no other reports of this problem from users of mozilla.general. I have not had a problem, but then I'm not using SM for news right now. If any other SM user had a problem with that group, please report it here.
I'm not having trouble with that particular NG, but I do have a chronic problem with SeaMonkey's handling of the messages unread count and display of threads with unread. Not sure if this should be a separate thread.
My normal settings are to display all messages, threads with unread, threaded. After a few days or a week, the count of unread messages in the left-hand pane diverges from reality, so SM will say there are more messages unread than it will show me in the right-hand panes. Additionally, when I get the reported count down to zero, SM will still display some threads as if they contained unread messages, but when I do "N" to go to the next unread message, it asks whether I want to jump to the next unread message in my default/primary mailbox. Part of the program knows there are no unread messages, and part of it doesn't. Finally, "N" sometimes takes me to a message already marked as read, and I've sometimes experienced the frustrating/laughable situation of jumping back and forth between two unread messages using "N."
The only solution I've found is to unsubscribe and delete the msf and dat files for the NG, and then resubscribe.
I purposely don't use "K" to kill threads as that has made the situation worse in the past.
It doesn't seem to matter whether I download all 50K messages on resubscribing or just the last 5K (marking the rest as read).
