I believe there is a tiny timing window where the part of the database that tracks whether there are new message(s) gets out of sync with what has actually been read. But I’ve never been able to reproduce it so I don’t really know how to fix it. It has happened a handful of times in three years.
A possible “solution” (really a hack) would be to add a button somewhere that would allow users to reset this new message indication on their own. But for now, if this happens to someone else, let me know and I can reset it. (BTW, sandlanders, I believe I have rid you of the annoying flashing red flag.)
I’m not sure what you mean about messages getting stuck in the Outbox. They sit in the Outbox until they are picked up, when they are moved to the Sentbox. Are you saying that you sent a PM that never made it to its recipient?
