Messengers shows that I have mails in my inbox but I don't

That has been happening to me for about a month now. I read my e-mail and
when im done and close the window it still shows i have e-mail.

messenger still shows in the gui that there are (3) emails in my inbox. This
started yesterday evening (Friday - GMT+1). Is this a known issue? How can I
fix this.

Greetings,

This feature is all done server side and even since Messenger's inception (which was as a
Hotmail notifier client), it's never been 100 percent reliable.

I have noticed that in the mac-client mail in your Junk folder are
reported in the client but not in the Windows version. If this is done
server side, does the mac-client connect to other servers or in some
other way?

Hi Oscar,

I have no idea on the Mac side how they're doing it. I don't own one so I can't check.

This has recently started happening to me too (since a week or so ago). The
mail count on my messenger doesn't reset to 0 after reading my messages.
Sometimes it will say 0 messages when I actually have new messages. And just
a few minutes ago it said I had 3 new messages, and there was only 1 when I
checked. This happens on any computer I'm on, so it isn't the
computer/messenger. As Jonathan said, it's done on the server side and has
never been 100 percent reliable, but I have never seen it this bad.

Is there currently a known issue with this right now (on Microsoft's side)?
Are many users having the same problems?
