I went from have no new messages to 97!  It seems that some of the ones' that I have marked as read have "unread" themselves!  Did this happen to anyone else??!?!?!?

Nothing like that here!
TanTrum Napolde Jul 23, 2007, 6:48pm EDT
Yeah. It said I had 12 unread messages. But I'd read those all already.

Trudy P. Jul 23, 2007, 6:53pm EDT
Yup I just went from about 5 to 34......
CyberGwen ! Jul 23, 2007, 6:57pm EDT
Thanks, I was afraid that I was losing it!
Jenna S. Jul 23, 2007, 7:03pm EDT
Same here. I had 3 or 4 messages and it jumped to 97.
Jenna S. Jul 23, 2007, 7:04pm EDT
Well it was 97 and I just went and checked again and now it's at 34. I already read most of these messages they marked themselves.
J. P. Jul 23, 2007, 7:08pm EDT
Mine was up from 4 to 14, but no new mail, it's just a glitch I think.
Faith H. Jul 23, 2007, 7:14pm EDT
heck, I have 5913 new emails...y'all are amatuers!
Angela <:3---}~~~~ M. Jul 23, 2007, 7:20pm EDT
they are working on the email notices(the ones we are not getting to our outside email) LOL it seams they are working in the wrong area.
Angela <:3---}~~~~ M. Jul 23, 2007, 7:23pm EDT
Oh wait some people were having problems deleteing emails too in the inbox maybe that is why they are working there
CyberGwen ! Jul 23, 2007, 7:36pm EDT
ACK I will leave it to sort out later!
Lisa M. Jul 23, 2007, 8:13pm EDT
I don' t think i had this happen - but I still have nearly 500 messages in my box to "get to"
Lucky Stars Jul 23, 2007, 9:34pm EDT
Yep, me too. Glad it's not just me.
aarti r. Jul 24, 2007, 12:35am EDT
ya they just went up from 37 to 67
Lawrence U. Jul 24, 2007, 1:30am EDT
I have 776 unread messages. Lucky me! :)
Svetlana Goryacheva Jul 24, 2007, 1:33am EDT
The same problem with me! Only in my case, there were 87 unread messages or so. I had to spend half an hour fixing the problem... very annoying. Has anyone reported this to the Gather team?

I am sure that someone has. This is big incentive to delete rather than just reading and leaving it in the future!
Leah Christensen Jul 24, 2007, 12:27pm EDT
Nothing happened to me.
Walker Bennett, SF Author Jul 24, 2007, 1:21pm EDT
That happened to me yesterday.

Most people don't realize that computer files, especially email, are not "deleted" -- they are just flagged as deleted so that the client doesn't see them any more. Eventually that space will get overwritten, but not immediately.

As IT manager for the company that I work for, the first thing I do every morning if flush and erase the email cache on our server so that "deleted" email no longer exist. With the screwball antics of our government these days requireing data retention and deleted emails, I'm taking no chances with my friends and employees. Until I get a direct subpoena or "National Security Letter", I will continue wiping our servers clean every day.
Debra H. Jul 24, 2007, 6:39pm EDT
Yup had it happen with 46 of mine.
CyberGwen ! Jul 24, 2007, 6:45pm EDT
Ha Ha! I decided to be lazy and not go through them again.....and....voila! They have magically re-disappeared! Thank goodness!
Larry H. Jul 24, 2007, 8:40pm EDT
one day I had 60, and i went to my spam file and there was 16 there., I said the were not spam, the should have gone to my mail box and that would have made the total 76,,,,,,, but no the total was.......30, i lost a big bunch of the at one time.
Selene N. Jul 24, 2007, 11:35pm EDT
I wouldn't know.... My new mail says "1155". I have stopped checking my Gather mail since 95% of the mail I get is spam.
CyberGwen ! Jul 25, 2007, 10:52am EDT
Go figure Larry.

Selene, I usually let mine pile up too, but not that much! I am with ya on the sapm thing!
Sharon B. Jul 26, 2007, 4:44pm EDT
nothing happened to me
CyberGwen ! Jul 26, 2007, 5:04pm EDT
Be happy Sharon, but the problem did go away:)
Leslie "Missy" T. Jul 26, 2007, 11:40pm EDT
yeah it happened to me, I went from 1 to 6 in just a couple of minutes.
Jimmie (Hey! Let's Gather!) Harris Jul 28, 2007, 3:04pm EDT
I've not had this happen yet.
Ken W. Jul 28, 2007, 3:54pm EDT
It is hard for me to say since I am new and have not received any emails as of yet from anyone here. :-( I know this has happened with other sites that I am a member at. I know you had to be shocked to see 97 there. :-)
CyberGwen ! Jul 28, 2007, 7:26pm EDT
I think that the problem has been taken care of:)
