Re: Inbox says 1 new message, but i have no messages

There are several threads with various fixes depending on the cause. It seems to happen when using threaded SMS (or Codys Threaded) and a new SMS somehow escapes the software and sneaks onto the old sms stack. In that case, you can edit the following registry, setting it to 0. Then, when you click on the SMS icon on HTC Home, it should show the lonely unread text message.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s]
"SMSAvailable"=dword:1

0=old style
1=threaded style

Be sure to set it back to 1. On my phone, when I had to do it, setting it to 0 took effect immediately and no soft reset was needed, but I had to soft-reset to get back threaded-style messaging.

Additionally, there are some other problems which can occur, which seem to be fixable by the following applications: FixUnreadCount - seems to be the most common "ghost sms" remover, Markallread - think this will work in even the above case, of a message slipping by the threaded application... but then you won't see the text it'll just be marked read, and no clue on the phantom email one.
