RE: [cobalt-users] Mail queue reporting problems

Follow-up...
That 3674 must have been a message she received immediately after
downloading her mail. The next time she downloaded, it was gone.
Monitoring this through Telnet, I can watch when Mom receives mail and then
when she downloads it. Immediately after she downloads it, her mail file
drops to Zero size.

However, the GUI in Cobalt still says she's using 13.7MB. I've refreshed it,
I've gone out and come back in... still mis-reporting.

As a side note, the GUI also mis-reports the amount of RAM I have. It says I
have 256MB when I really have 128MB.

So now that I've made sure that her mail file really isn't that big, and
that it's working as it's supposed to... how can I get the GUI to open its
eyes and see that she's not got 13.7MB of mail?
