Final Approach
I am hoping that some of you smart computer guys would have some suggestions as to fixing the little problem that started with Thunderbird last night.
Norton was acting funny and locked up when I told it to stop scanning and the computer locked up so I shut it off with the power source (the only way it would let me do it). Thunderbird was open at the time.
When I started up Thunderbird again it downloaded 375 messages to the inbox...some from all the way back to last summer. They were all duplicates of emails I had already downloaded from the server. Some of those were marked read and some were marked unread, although I had already read the ones marked unread.
After deleting ALL of those messages, the inbox still shows that there are four unread messages in the inbox no matter what I do even if the inbox is empty. And every once in awhile I get a blank-looking email with no header or body, but it lists the date as being back in 1969 (wasn't that before Al Gore?).
I can still use Thunderbird just fine; it's just annoying to keep seeing four unread messages that aren't there. I don't want to lose the gazillion emails in my folders right now for various reasons, so I don't want to uninstall Thunderbird. What do you guys think? Can it be fixed?
Thanks!
