Default Problems recurring

First problem:

Today, my microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion again went
blank just now.

Sometimes ago, I had connected to net and downloaded by go
offline. it had downloaded some 112 posts making total no.
of posts in this some 450.

After finishing other ngs, I came to this ng, and I was
reading them.

I noticed that the left folder pane is not showing no. of
unread posts and was showing just total no. of posts. Nor
was it showing it in bold. message list was showing all read
and unread posts, and I was able to navigate B/N and the
post was appearing in preview pane.

I clicked on some other ng, and back to 98 ng. It had gone
blank. Now it was not even showing total no. of posts, nor
was there anything in message list pane.

What has happened?
-------------------

Second problem:

yesterday, my Local Folders inbox again showed 2 mails as
unread but none was there. No of mails displayed in the
message pane was also 3 less than total no. of mails counted
in folder pane.

As I was advised last week, I deleted .msf file and
restarted TB. I could see 1 read 2 unread posts in inbox,
which I promptly deleted because these were some spam/junk
for me.

Why is it filtering those things automatically. I have JMC off.

What is happeing?
---------

A query:

In my TB 1.0, Twirling circle is always rotating, and at the
left of status bar that blue/black rectangle is always
moving from left to right in different speeds.

It keeps on happening whether I am connected to net or not.

It keeps on happening whether I am offline or onlin with TB.

Similarly, TB icon is always present in Zonealarm window at
the top, sometime blinking, thus implying that some internal
activity is going on.

I'll admit to only being able to provide an intuitive guess--Folders.dbx
may be corrupted. I only say this because you have similar glitches in
different areas, Mail and NGs. But first review the two entries starting
he

"Messages in Inbox or other mail folders disappear" and "Messages in
newsgroups disappear"

And if folders.dbx is corrupted, he can let it rebuild itself, by deleting
it (off line, and out of the OE program).

Of course, he'll have to resubscribe to the newsgroups, and reorganize any
nested mail subfolders, but that's not the end of the world, either.
