If I really have one unseen message, I am told that I have two unseen messages, etc. It does not help to delete the MAIL.MAI file. Where does MAIL store its information about unseen messages? This error occurs on only one of the two VAXen. I have a common login directory for the two machines, but separate SYSUAF.DAT's. As far as I can recon, this points to the MAIL info being stored in the SYSUAF.DAT file, but I cannot find any documentation about this. Help?
