Guys,
when i login to orkut it says you have 2 unread mails, but there are absolutely no mails when i go inside. this has been like this since few months....

any idea why is that?

Don't know why but yours isn't a isolated case. Even kalpik had the same problem. Dunno what happened then.

These are the operations done:
1. In Inbox Select All Messages> Mark as read/unread/read
2. Moved messages from Saved Messages/Sent Messages and then mark all messages read/unread/read/unread/read
3. Move all messages by select all to saved messages

all failures...patient died...:D

I have only today come to know that people check their orkut spamboxes (apparently some people even call it an 'inbox' but last I heard an 'inbox' was used for receiving useful stuff)!

Thanks! :)
I have a lot of lovely Steve Jobs quotes. I'll keep rotating them. This one is my favourite.
It is amazing that Steve Jobs is the co-founder and CEO of my two most favourite corporate companies. I had no idea he had anything to do with Pixar and still I've always admired it. :p

I also face this problem it says 3 unread mails. And I know howit happed I had deleted the 3 unread mails before reading them. But orkut has now fixed the bug but the old no 3 which was there is still there in my account and now I consider 3 as 0
