The unread email count will go away after a while. The default expiry is 14 days.

Patchou said Messenger Plus! would work with Gmail now because it would support SSL with POP3, which it does. Problem is, Gmail doesn't only tell Plus! about unread emails.

This is a Gmail limitation, Messenger Plus! is doing all it should, quoting information given by Gmail.

Exactly, if you need anymore information PM me with your email and i'll explain it to you there. I investigated this feature before the launch of the latest plus and i can tell you everything you'd want to know :)

Although it has nothing do do with Plus! Those of you who want to know when they get mail from Gmail can use Google's notifier instead of MSN. It places an icon of an envelope in the system tray. Notificatoins are sent with a slide up message, and the envelope gains a blue border when new mail arrives. More info can be obtained from Gmail's

You say its gmails fault. Then why does it work properly with all these other programs?

Configure POP Access
Answer     
return to Help Center

Once you've enabled POP in your Gmail account, configure your mail client or wireless device to download Gmail messages. To learn about configuration settings, click the name of your mail client or wireless device below:

Mail Clients

    * Outlook Express and Outlook 2002 (and older) (Windows)
    * Outlook Express and Outlook 2002 (and older) (Mac)
    * Outlook 2003
    * Entourage 2004
    * Entourage X
    * Eudora 5.1 (and higher) (Sponsored & Paid Mode)
    * Eudora 5.1 (and higher) (Light Mode)
    * Netscape Mail 7.x
    * Netscape Mail 6.2
    * Netscape Mail 4.5, 4.6, or 4.7
    * Apple Mail
    * Mozilla 1.7
    * Thunderbird 0.x

    * Other

Wireless Devices

    * BlackBerry Internet Service™
I think it can be done (impossible is nothing ;) ). If you make it work properly youll have a better msgplus, if you dont you can keep blaming gmail but msgplus users will be lacking that feature.

RE: MsgPlus! 3.50 Pop3 Gmail Limitations
It works properly with all those other programs because all of those other programs are fully-fledged POP3 email clients. They download all mail out of your Gmail account, and create a local copy on your computer, which is presented to you for you to read and manage/delete. Normally, with POP3 mail, once a client downloads messages, it deletes from the server. Gmail won't let the client do this, but you can set Gmail to take an action with downloaded messages. You then read them in the client, you delete them from the client, or the client marks the local copy as read.

Messenger Plus! is not a email client. It reads the POP3 data from Gmail, and reports the number of messages. If you choose, Messenger Plus! will launch a full POP3 client, or open www.gmail.com in your default web browser when click your email notification.

That list exists because they are popular programs, and Google has had the time to create step-by-step guides to entering Gmail's POP3 settings into them. It is not a supported clients list.

Edit: Spelling and clarification

If outlook and those other programs just checked your email they would come up with the same number as Plus! Except the way in which your using outlook (& etc) is to read and download the messages.

Plus! does not download any messages merely just reports the number back to you. Gmail doesn't abide to the pop3 protocol very well and hence this is why it doesn't work :(

Well I guess gmail is still in beta, so there is hope yet!
