mailstat statistics and actual number of new messages

2000-01-19 04:15:43
Hello,

my script for getting mail runs mailstat at the end so that I can
see what folders have new mail.  This is all pretty  nifty, but I
have found  inconsistency in this mechanism twice.  In both cases
mailstat   reported   more   messages   deliverred   to  $DEFAULT
(~/mail/Inbox)  than there actually  were.  I checked the mailbox
from  beginning  to end and I am 100%  sure I have not  missed an
unread message.

In one case pine was running  (according to pine technical notes,
this shouldn't be a problem -- or is it?), in other it wasn't.

Should I be worried about this?

Jernej
