Deleting ghost posts in ng account - Jeff

Hi,

Whenever I sync my newsgroups with Win Mail, I get a number next to the
ng, i.e..  microsoft.public.pocketpc (6) even though I have used the
appdata that I can delete to get rid of it?

addendum,
at the bottom of Win Mail it says "0 message(s), 6 not downloaded" and it
shows that 6 next to the  ng.
Any help?

With that problem, it often helps to click Tools, then Get Next 300
Headers a few times.

Thanks,

That got rid of 5 of them but still have 1 that won't go away.
It says at the bottom of Win Mail
0 message(s), 0 unread, 1 not downloaded

and I clicked on Get Next 300 headers lots of times.
Any other possibilities to cure this?

Those are called 'ghost' messages.  The number may change next time you go
to that newsgroup.  There's nothing to do about it.  Do you want the long
technical description?
