They're just marked for deletion. SC> The <19> appears to be the number of messages that I can see in my SC> Inbox, that I haven't deleted. Exactly. To get rid of that 400 count, you need to do an expunge operation, i.e., to really delete those messages that are marked for deletion. For transparency and consistency of the operation terminology, TB! calls the expunging 'compression' which is the same process in POP3 accounts. You can either do this manually, or have TB! do it upon exiting IMAP folders. For the latter, look at the account properties. SC> What is the 4<*>? This is under the unread column, but I don't see SC> any unread messages. This means that there are 4 unread messages in the IMAP folder, but TB! hasn't yet sync'd with the server. This is why you don't see the headers for viewing. -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.10.01 on WinXP Pro (SP1)
