Unread count missing (2002)

Occasionally my Inbox (and status bar) do not show the number of unread messages in my inbox – I would normally expect to see the number in brackets after the word “Inbox” on the Outlook Bar.
Is this a known issue and/or is there a fix?

Well, I know about it. Does that make it a known issue? It’s also appeared a couple times in microsoft.public.outlook newsgroup. Take a look at this one: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&…&oe=UTF-8&hl=en%5B/url%5D

I’ve also seen the reverse problem with my Outbox (because I don’t send immediately) – the count shows even though the messages have been sent. And I’m up to date on Office XP and IE patches.

I think the syncronization between folders and the Outlook bar is good, but clearly not perfect. I remember this in OL2K and still have it in XP on occaision.
