Thunderbird shows that there are unread messages (but there
aren't)

Thunderbird shows that there are unread messages (but there aren't)
Wed, 16 Apr 2008 08:57:06 -070
Hello all,

My Thunderbird (software, not car) crashed this morning and since then
it shows that I have 4 unread messages even though there are no unread
messages displayed in the list of mail.  I have also done a "select
all" and then "mark as read", and I have compacted the inbox. 
Still,
it says 4 unread messages.

Any help much appreciated!

Have you set your view to 'All'  ( View > Messages > All )?

Right click on that problematic folder and in property , click on 
'Rebuild Index' . Does your problem go away ?

Also delete a file named 'panacea.dat' from your profile when

This is a known bug, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79130

One of its duplicates has a workaround, 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294754#c3

Note that the actual filename of the rc file mentioned in that 
workaround differs slightly depending on whether you're using 
Thunderbird on Windows, Linux, Mac, ...


Best regards,
Tony.
