Have a very strange problem with one of my users on the
network and have not found any thing relating to this
problem anywhere on the web.

Whats happening is i have a user running outlook xp and
even though he has no new emails in his inbox he has a
blue (-1) sign next to his inbox, and in the bottom left
of the screen it says he has 4294967295 unread messages...

But once a new email comes in then it goes back to normal,
once the user reads the email the figure goes back to -1
again, never come across this before in 6 years, any ideas
would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
