At the very bottom of the email main page, it says I have almost 3000 emails, & yet I only have maybe 75 in total. How do I get rid of this #?

When was the last time you Compacted?

Even when I compact, it doesn't change the # of total emails.

I may really have 100 in the inbox, 30 in the sent box, & 3 in the draft folder, but it still says I have a total of close to 3000.

Who is your provider?

What do your folders look like when you look at them at the providers webmail page?

more options

My provider is Shaw. When I open up the provider's webmail page, I DO have emails that are not yet deleted, but certainly not 3000 (not even close).

Just to be clear, is this an IMAP or POP mail account ?

I think it's a POP acct. U can answer me assuming it is POP.

And once again, I have compacted, but it doesn't change any #'s. Even when I delete emails, the total remains the same for each mail folder.

Thank u

in the folder pane you have the heading Name and at the end of the pane line there is a little grid widget. CLick it and select total and size as well as the default unread.

What folder are the 3000 mails appearing in, now you have a total per folder.? My guess is deleted or Junk
