Some users have had problems with Inbox or the Today screen displaying "-1" unread messages, or displaying 1 or more unread messages when, in fact, there are none. This utility will detect and repair these discrepencies.

It's not flashy, but it does the job :)

6 month problem--SOLVED! THANK YOU SO MUCH :)

***** [Jul 2, 2010] by Chad using HTC Pure
Works Great!!! A good fix for something I guess HTC has deemed unworthy of their attention. Thanks!!

Add me as one of the satisfied user of this aplication. It fixed the unread message in my HTC TP2 6.5. Excellent app :-)

***** [May 20, 2010] by mijegdod using TP2
Are you kidding me? 9K script and couple of clicks reboot and done. Love it. Worked a dream on my TP2 with wm6.1

***** [Apr 8, 2010] by Jecki using HTC Touch Diamond 2, WM 6.5
Works perfectly! Thx.

***** [Apr 6, 2010] by KEssex using TP2
Best & Easiest app I've downloaded so far! Hell of a job well done!

***** [Apr 1, 2010] by Tom using HTC TP2
Thank god! These damn wrong numbers are gone. Just run the program, restarted the phone and that's it!

***** [Mar 6, 2010] by K.B using HTC Touch Pro
Thank You!!!! IT worked within 10 seconds! I had this "1 unread text" for almost a week now! didn't know it could be so frustrating. Thank you!

I just can't get this to work for me. The EXE runs fine, displays all the folders and [OK] for each one, but no matter, my SMS Inbox still displays (3) unread messages. I tried it with numerous resets, opening and closing Messaging, removing Messaging from the Today screen items and adding it back. I didn't want to have to edit the registry because I'm lazy and it sounds like a pain to export it, edit it on the PC and import it back again but that looks like the next thing to try ( http://peterfoot.net/DisableWindowsMobile61ThreadedSMSView.aspx ) PS sorry for the low stars, I'm sure it's not the fault of the program but just not the tool for my particular bug.

***** [Feb 4, 2010] by MrVoyles using HTC TP2 TMOUS
Works perfectly on my TP2... Thanks!

This thing rocks!

I already downloaded the application and it says " the file 'fixunreadcount' cannot be opened. Either it is not signes with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file" what should I do now? I have difficulty in installing other files though. It always say that such appli came from untrusted certificate. I hope you can help me. Thanks.

***** [Jan 5, 2010] by Glenn using HTC Pure
Great app! I ran the app, reset the phone, and viewed messages. The indicator then went away.

***** [Jan 5, 2010] by Jesper E. Siig using HTC Touch Pro2 (WM 6.5)
Great - didn't even have to exit mail program or do a soft reset. Was a little surprised that it went through ALL my folders though. Am connected to my company's Exchange and my private IMAP mail archive with 100s of folders! :-)

***** [Dec 8, 2009] by Pink Panther using HTC Pure
Bless the creator of this app! This has been driving me nuts (and i'm sure many others) for months. Today - clean as a whistle ... Run the app, and reset your your phone. EXCELLENT!!!

***** [Nov 3, 2009] by Geenyus using htc imagio
Worked to perfection, kept me from having to do a second hard reset. THANKS.

***** [Oct 29, 2009] by brrb using htc imagio
Legit.

***** [Oct 27, 2009] by Joe using T-Mobile Touch Pro 2
Works good, just turn off and on the phone after running the app.

***** [Oct 27, 2009] by Matt using 6.5 xv6975
This worked Great! Simple Script which fixed everything. If your using the same device as mine, go in and view the inbox folder tree and it will reset the indicator. THANKS A TON!

***** [Oct 13, 2009] by mitcheyc using HTC Imagio
Good job, team! I had to switch my TouchFlo off, turn on the messaging in my default (not winmo 6.5) screen, then turn it back on. I then had to reset my device. It took a bit of patience but it's working my now.

***** [Oct 6, 2009] by Samantha using HTC TP2
Is this software still available? I tried to download and it said it wasn't any suggestions? The false unread text icon is extremely annoying. Thanks to anyone who can help.

***** [Oct 6, 2009] by Webmaster using Pocket PC
Just add a mirror for this file.

***** [Aug 13, 2009] by Fred Johnston using HTC Mogul 6800
Had to reset my messaging on today screen (THANKS TO PREVIOUS POST FOR THIS INFO!!)... THEN it showed the correct unread. Great Stuff!

***** [Jul 25, 2009] by Sandhy using DOPOD 838pro
At first I thought this program didn't work. But after I refreshed my "Messaging" from Today screen (setting - Today - items tab) - unchecked it and then come back to checked it again.. wesewesewes! That 6 month annoying "text messages 1 unread" was gone! THX ALOT.

* [Jun 23, 2009] by Phil using Treo Pro
It didn't work for me... :( The program says everything is okay... but it still tells me there is a message I don't have.

***** [May 14, 2009] by Mariela using BlackJack 2, WM 6.1
Exe file worked EXACTLY as described! Great work...

***** [May 7, 2009] by David Roman using Windows Mobile 6.1 (Black Jack II)
After spending $10.00 on a registry editor for this bloody phone and failing miserably at resolving the issue, I stumble on this 9KB executable that works beautifully. Thankfully, it's also a free app. Thanks a BUNCH!

***** [Mar 14, 2009] by z using treo750
Wow! I was going nuts till I found your site! Only suggestion would be to remind people they have to run the program on their handheld for it to work.

***** [Dec 9, 2008] by Colin using AT&T Tilt running WM 6.1
Amazing. My unread count has been off by one for a few days now and it's been driving me crazy. This program works EXACTLY as advertised. Thank you.

***** [Oct 18, 2008] by Nancy using Sprint Mogul
Thank you so much! This just happened to me and was driving me NUTS! Glad I found this site.

***** [Sep 9, 2008] by Kevin using TREO 700 WX
I was skeptical, but I downloaded and installed this program and the problem instantly went away (ALL COMPLETED WHILE THE VERIZON TECH SUPPORT PERSON HAD ME ON HOLD FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES -- AND THEN CAME BACK AND TOLD ME SHE HAD NO CLUE AS TO HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!!!)

***** [Aug 26, 2008] by sky using htc p3600i
Brilliant! Thank you very much. But after I run the .exe file via file explorer, I have to soft reset my ppc before the "1 unread messages" disappeared. thanks a million! :)

***** [Aug 23, 2008] by Nick B. using Samsung i760
WOW! days of tech support. 2 verizon people stared at my phone for about 15 minutes... and nothing. Can you hear me now... this software worked in less than 5 minutes. Thanks.

***** [Jun 14, 2008] by warez_nick using ASUS P750 with Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro
Can't help saying THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Been trying to fix this problem, all in vain, and no help from the tech support. PERFECT!!!

***** [Jun 5, 2008] by k using windows mobile 6
That was awesome. Thanks so much.

***** [Jun 5, 2008] by BigTemp using AT&T 8525
OUTSTANDING!!! Called tech support and they had NO idea how to fix the "ghost" text message this worked like a charm!! thanks again!

***** [Apr 30, 2008] by CW using HTC Mogul
Awesome!!!

***** [Apr 23, 2008] by c3nz qobbal using o2 xda atom
Nice software... It works perfectly :-D

***** [Mar 28, 2008] by cari using mogul htc
Thank God! The msg of 1 unread text was driving me crazy! I'm so glad I found the link.

***** [Mar 18, 2008] by Phillip using 8525
This (1 unread) text error has been bugging me for months and I didn't want to hard reset the phone. I also didn't want to mess around with registry editors or programs where I have to be a tech. This program is fantastic! Simple and easy. I just used my phones web browser to navigate to this page and downloaded the program. I have received several texts while writing this review and after reading the text messages it now shows "No unread messages" in my today screen... Brilliant!

***** [Dec 29, 2007] by jimmytreo700wx using verizon treo 700wx
Awsome program!!!!! This has been bothering me for days!! You guys rule.

To Author: R Elmer. Thank you for your kind contribution.

***** [Sep 20, 2007] by Steve using PPC6700
Works on 5.0 too. No fear. Perfect. Thanks!

***** [Aug 14, 2007] by C-H using HTC TyTN
I have tried to get rid of my 1 unread SMS for three days!!!! A big kiss!!!

***** [Jun 11, 2007] by Max Overlord using Treo 700w
I first encountered this problem in May 2007 and called Verizon and Palm and they were completely useless. All they kept telling me was that a hardset would solve the problem. Everyone who has had to do a hard reset knows what a painful procedure and a waste of time that is. I did the hard reset and spent one day restoring all my applications and settings. Today I encounter the same phantom text message problem. I literally hit the roof. For some divine reason I was led to this website. I downloaded this program (you have to execute it from your pda device) and it solve the problem without a hard or soft reset. The author of this program and this website are tech heroes. Kudos.

***** [May 21, 2007] by cheelonk using dopod 838pro
Superb. It solved my problem instantly.

***** [Apr 2, 2007] by Graham Platt using hp6340
Excellent. It does what it says on the tin.

***** [Apr 26, 2004] by Matt using IPAQ
It works, just change the count and the update will be reflected. It gives you a list of folder by folder of what it fixes. A+

**** [Apr 12, 2004] by Scott Blomquist using Samsung i700
The first time I ran it, it reported success, but my Inbox seemed to not change. It turned out that I had to close and re-open the Inbox program (Start->Settings->System->Memory->Running Programs->Inbox->Stop) before it reloaded the database and reflected the fixed count. Worked like a champ! Can't beat the price!

***** [Nov 10, 2003] by PFRhoads using Dell Axim X5 400
Yep! Exactly like the author claims. Not fancy, but it does the job, and does it well! For about 4 months now I've been perplexed by my "-6" unread messages. I copied this executable to my PPC, ran it, and now it's fixed, quick and simple! It parses your mail folders, and corrects any mis-reported message counts. Fast too. Thanks!!
