Two days ago I composed a message that took long enough to finish that Thunderbird automatically assigned it Draft status. After I sent the email it didn't clear that 1 notification out of the Drafts folder even though the folder is visibly empty when I open it. It remains after a system reboot. I'm running Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 on Vista Home Premium. How do I clear the folder's properties so it doesn't still think there is 1 message in it?

Have you tried compacting your folders?

I hadn't before but I did just now and an email I thought got sent out on Friday revealed itself. I went ahead and sent it. That did the trick, thanks.

Good. Just so you have an idea how Tb mail boxes work I will pass this
on as FYI. Any time a message is moved or deleted, the copy in the
original mailbox gets flagged, but remains in the box until a compaction.
