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. win98SE, nav 2k5 -- Rawat |

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.

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.
