I have updated my messenger live to version 8.5.1238.0601 BETA and my messenger plus to version 4.23.0.276. I have Vista Ultimate 32 bit.

I still have the same error. Is it anything to do with messenger live and mesenger plus both trying to do a popup toast at the same time? If I turn off "display popup notifications" in messenger plus the error goes away which is how it is currently configured.

An other thing, why it says the total number of mails instead of saying for example i have 3 news mails.

It is normal, i.e., there is nothing wrong with it. Because Messenger Plus! reports the total e-mail number, not only unread (new) mail number.

*sigh* Completely WRONG. If you don't know something, do NOT post... And if you post, VERIFY what you say.

Plus! retrieves the new email count for the POP3 account. So whatever the POP3 server reports back, Plus! shows...

In normal cases, and with a POP3 which completely follows the POP3 standard, the returned amount of emails is the amount of the unread emails.

However! There are several POP3 accounts which instead return the total number of emails in your inbox, read or not. For example the GMail POP3 accounts do this (they do not follow the POP3 standard completely), see also Messenger Plus! POP3 Gmail Limitations.

So, in order to get the proper number of unread emails you need to remove all read emails from your inbox, either deleting them on the server or either move them to another folder on the server.

In other words, this has got nothing todo with Plus! at all (like ahmetgns suggested); Plus! simply returns the number it gets from the POP3 server. If the POP3 server returns a wrong number, Plus! will show a wrong number.

Let see what patchou think about the balloon tray instead of the toast

That isn't going to solve anything. In case you encounter that error, you would still recieve that error when balloon tips are shown.

A "balloon tip" is just another way of displaying something, nothing more.

As such I very much doubt Patchou is going to change the standard method of showing notification messages in toasts in favor of balloon tips.

Follow-up: apparently, the problem is related to a bug in Spyware Doctor. http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=74...d=832870#pid832870

I don't have Spyware Doctor. I also noticed that sometimes it works fine but not for good

morning there. so i reinstalled clean windows and all other now. without any spybot programs etc. messenger is only patched with messbe for the ads. and then mesg plus live addon. but the error comes still too when i recieve any new mails.

so i think its a bug in msg plus live, since messenger live beta1 from windows update, so that will not be compatible...
