Anybody else have the blinking icon and message that you've got new mail when you don't?
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Just refresh screen. It will go away.
Nope that's not the answer
Happened to me a couple times in the past few months.
Might be a login/cookie issue.
Try logging out and logging back in.
Mine only pops up when I have mail to read and then disappears after mail is opened and screeen is refreshed. No changes over past weeks.
Quoted from balbers:Try clearing your browser's cache.
That was one of the first things I did
There's probably nothing you can do.
If the "new message" count is maintained separate of messages (so it doesn't have to wastefully count them up every single time), then it's possible for the database to occasionally get out-of-sync, where the count is positive but there are no more messages to read, so it never gets back to zero (or it might actually be negative, and since that isn't zero, "new message!"). Considering the SQL overload problems that happen during peak periods...
On the server side, easiest thing to solve this problem would be to add an occasional full recount of messages and new messages for a user's account. For example, do it whenever a message is deleted, and/or add a "fix message count" link somewhere.
