Hello Everyone!

I ran into a special circumstance today where even though the Park
icon in the message list of a folder is unticked, The Bat! still seems
to think the message is parked.

1) I was cleaning out some folders and messages that I no longer
needed, in one of my two POP3 accounts, and selected "Empty" from the
folder menu. All the 973 messages except the ones I had Parked
immediately went to Trash, as I had set them to do.

2) I unparked the 25 remaining messages and clicked Empty. TB! told me
that I had to Unpark them. Same happened when I tried Select All,
followed by Delete, from the right-click context menu.

3) So I went to Trash then and emptied the Trash folder.

4) When I came back to the folder with the 25 remaining messages,
which I had left showing as unparked (but which TB! said were parked),
all 25 were once again marked Parked. So I tried unparking just one
message, but TB! would not believe me when I asked it to delete. I
then unparked all 25 and tried Empty from the Folder menu. Same info
from TB!: that the messages--which were *not* marked Park--were
parked.

5) I gave up and went back to my other POP3 account, to check my mail.

6) When I came back to the POP3 account I was previously working with,
the folder with the 25 messages showed them still the way I had marked
them, as unparked. Tried one more time with Empty, and this worked.
The 25 messages immediately were moved to Trash.

7) I then proceeded to clean some old messages out of another folder,
but unticking Park for them had the same result described above. I
switched to the other POP3 account and back again--and this time,
also, I was finally able to empty the folder.

I've never seen this behavior described anywhere. I did a search on
the word "Park" in my TBBETA folder and found nothing like it. Then I
did a search of TB! issues for The Bat! and couldn't find a bug report
of anything like this.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?
