ok this is really annoying me. i let my friends use my computer and they sign into messenger than sign off without checking their emails in their inbox so on the welcome screen it says i have a 100 uncheck emails. what a pain. so i go into the registery and change all the mail accounts to 0. but now i have this problem and when i check my mail then the number stays on my messenger list and it says i still have mail in my inbox and i just barely got done deleting it ... any help to solve this problem would be nice. i dont think it was msgplus but i had msgplus install when i started having the problems. anyways thnx for the help!

Microsoft Windows issues quote:This is a limitation of your mailserver, not from Messenger Plus!; some servers can not distinguish between read mails and unread mails and thus return the number of total emails. Messenger Plus! can't do anything about it; it is your mail server itself that is having problems sticking to the POP3 protocol. The only solution is to move your read mails to another folder which isn't counted or to delete your read mails from the server. In case of Gmail see also "MsgPlus! 3.50 Pop3 Gmail Limitations". Note that Gmail has even greater problems when it comes down to the POP3 protocol. The mailcount doesn't show the correct number: I want to add/remove the hotmail emailcount when I use the POP3-feature: Both questions/problems have the same cause and solution: In Messenger Plus! you can set a special registry key for this: POPAddHotmail (only when you're using MSN Messenger 6 or below). You can enable or disable this by using Choli's Plus! Tweaker, or by going to the registry to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\<The E-Mail Address>\Preferences and add or change POPAddHotmail. - If you set it to true (1), the hotmail emailcount will be added to the POP3 emailcount. - If you set it to false (0), the hotmail emailcount will not be used and you will get only the POP3 emailcount (provided your server returns the correct unread emails of course, see above). - This registry setting is only for MSN Messenger 6 and below. |
