Thanks for replying Ralf.
I use gmail as my mail server and access it using POP (inward) and IMAP
(outward). As at this moment, I have 146 messages on the server, as I
have not cleaned it up for a few days, but the countdown always stops
at 19 or 20 (it's hard to tell because it clears so quickly at the
end). It must be something that is remembered either on the server or
locally, but I can't see how it could be the server because of the
number of messages discussed above.
I'm stumped!
Cheers,Doug
