O.P. [A|:*&||;$A e-mail messages] display
Occasionally, my e-mail messages notification line (near the top of the window) will display some strange gibberish instead of a number. I tried to simulate it in this subject title, but those are not the exact characters.
After reading through some messages in here, I decided it might be connected to the POP3 email checker, so I turned it off. As soon as I turned it off, the display returned to normal showing "No new e-mail messages". Because I'm not really that familiar with the POP3 email checker (I've never received notification, even though I set it up a couple of weeks ago) I figured maybe I had some Yahoo mail, so I went to check, but I didn't have any.
To really see if there was a connection here, I went and re-enabled the POP3 checker and gave it a minute to go check. Sure enough, the gibberish is back, with different characters, though.
Perhaps I have the wrong server in my POP3 setup (yahoo.com???). I dunno.
I have looked into it and found out that I cannot POP my yahoo mail without paying a fee, so that's why THAT doesn't work. It still doesn't explain the gibberish, however, although it won't matter to me anymore since I will be disabling my POP3 checker.
Sorry to waste your time.
