I have msgplus set to check my POP mail account, but for some reason, whenever I've read a message, the count doesn't go back to zero....

Details:
I'm using Rogers Yahoo mail....basically the Canadian ISP Rogers partnered with Yahoo to allow us to access our rogers.com mail via yahoo mail.  Anyways, I've been using Outlook for the longest time, finally deciding to switch to Yahoo.  Anyways, msgplus worked fine whenever Outlook downloaded the messages from teh server.  Now that I'm checking my mail with Yahoo, however, it's as if the messages are staying on the server even when I read them with Yahoo mail.

Is this a problem with msgplus or yahoo mail?

thanks

nevermind...figured it out...

turns out when I move the messages from the Inbox into another folder (in yahoo mail) then they're no longer considered to be "new".

still seems a bit weird...

Not wierd at all though...

It is Rogers Yahoo mail which doesn't stick to the proper POP3 protocol.

The POP3 protocol says that whenever you read an email it should be flagged as 'read' and not be included in the final returned unread mail number. It is the server itself which returns the number of new (unread) emails. If it doesn't update that whenever you read a mail in your inbox (and leave it there) it doesn't stick to the POP3 protocol. There is nothing Plus! can do about it. It is a fault of your mailserver.

This is the same issue as with Google:
