I have received a number of suggestions of what the number is.  But it
still is not clear.

Here is a "picture" of The Bat! at this very minute.  These folders are
subfolders of my account, and have no subfolders.  In the picture, X
represents an icon.  Note the number is <6>, not (6).

NameUnread Total
-X MyAccountName 8
 |-X Inbox0 <6>
 |-X Outbox   0
 |-X Sent Mail2
 +-X Trash0
 X Common Folders here with a total of 307 messages.

System information:  I am using Pop3 at home with The Bat!, but the
account is really an Exchange account at work, which I read with
Microsoft Outlook.

The Message Dispatcher shows 15 messages, with all marked Read and one
also marked Delete.  I execute the Dispatcher and the one message is
deleted.  But the folder tree does not change, nor is there any change
in the six messages in Inbox.  I Purge&Compress ... no change.

I am confused.

Ed

This is for POP service, I think.  On my IMAP account, the numbers are
shown in angle brackets, eg. 150 <30>, and there are no subfolders.
