Thunderbird reports wrong number of recieved messages.

I have Thunderbird set to 1. fetch headers only and to 2. leave messages on server 3. until I delete them when I press the "Get Messages" button to get the headers from my POP mail account. I generally delete about half of the headers before downloading any messages and then generally delete most or the messages I've just downloaded and read.

   The next time I push the  "Get Messages" button, the number of recieved messages is generally incorrect. It's as if Thunderbird is asking the server for the number of new messages before deleting the messages I have deleted on my computer from the server.

Thought someone should know.

Note: Empty trash on exit is also checked.
