There's a long-winded email providing an excruciating level of detail some months ago, but I'll summarize here: The Inbox counter in top.aspx does a simple count of items in folder_links with folderid=1. The routines (pub and prv) to fetch the Inbox contents have code to exclude messages where the inquiring user is not the recipient if the message. This is a "safety" filter to prevent listing of messages with errant folder_links. How do illegal items get into folder_links.folderid=1? - Unknown bug from before go-live. May not exist anymore. - Public message is deleted before being read by recipient. Already fixed. - User executes an illegal "Return to Inbox" from a folder where the message was never in the Inbox in the first place. This could be any of the following message types: o A filed public message from the user to another user o A filed public message not to or from the user o A filed private message from the user to another user Example URL: siliconinvestor.com All of the three above message types "count" as Inbox unread messages, but none will display in the Inbox. Comprendo?
