Unread mail query
"Bill Ridgeway" schreef in bericht ... Thanks for that Frank. Regards. Bill Ridgeway "Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM" wrote in message ... "Bill Ridgeway" wrote in message ... Just one of the various NewsGroups I monitor regularly reports a number of unread messages which, when I click on the NG to see what's there, is reduced by the order of 10. This isn't a lot when the reported number of, say, 20 is reduced to 2 but is a lot when the reported number of 300 is reduced to just 30. Does anyone know how this discrepancy arises and why it occurs on only one NG please? This news server (and many others) is actually a farm of many servers. Each message in each newsgroup on the server gets a number. OE calculates the number not downloaded by subtracting the highest number it has for the newsgroup from the highest number on the server for that newsgroup, When a server gets out of synchronization with the others it can have different message numbers, leading to the discrepancy. OE then calculates the actual number when it actually downloads the messages and corrects the number of unread. I hope I got that clear, but I'm still on my first cup of coffee for the day. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM Do not send mail.
