Showing junk mail in empty folder

Thunderbird Junk email and spam

I have been using Thunderbird for a very long time. Today is the first time I have seen this happen.

In the column on my left side that has my account and folders for those accounts it is showing 5 in my junk account. But in the preview window to the right of that column there is nothing showing as far as any entries as junk mail. It is completely blank. What do I need to do to clear this 5 from the left column Junk folder??

I have tried resetting the machine and that did not work. I even went into the webmail site for my email provider and there is no junk email showing there at all so as far as my email provider goes, it looks like everything is working there.

Perhaps open the folder or right click it, select properties and then the repair button.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Didn't have to try it. When I opened it up this morning, everything was as it should be. Those 5 mysterious Junk entries were gone.

But I will remember your suggestion if it happens again.

Thanks

Bob
