Find folder which causes higher recent count. I did that, before I came to the list with my problem. I also went through each and every folder, displayed all messages therein, toggled all, and selected read. In some folders this resulted in the newmail report changing. It became closer to the actual number of unread messages displayed on the mailbox tree and in the delivery folder. However, the reported number never exactly matched the expected value. Also, when opened a new instance of squrrelmail the delta between actual unread and that reported by newmail was reset to the previously displayed value. So, all of that work was for naught. This was when I began to suspect that there was something else going on. Which is why I brought it to the attention of the list. The IMAP setup we have is Cyrus_Imap as distributed with CentOS-5.4 and there is nothing unusual about its configuration that I am aware of. We do not have scripts that mangle delivered mail before it gets into the user mailboxes. I am not aware of any shared folders. I certainly have not set any up and I doubt that the installation routine would do so. > > I suspect that some of your folders return invalid counters for > recent messages.

I did exactly that for every message and while the delta between actual and reported changed it did not entirely disappear. Further, when I next started a Squirrelmail session, the delta returned to its former value. > Or maybe you are not telling something about your setup.

If I could answer that question then I would not be here seeking an answer. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
