Private message but there is none

[sparassidae]

I've got my big red flashing "new private message" going off, and it says "private messages: 1" on the top right there.

But when I go to my inbox there are no new messages.

I had a similar problem. I selected the check boxes on the first page of my PM inbox. I then selected "Mark as read." The error went away after that.

It also happened to me quite a few times past few days, but then I realized that in fact I did have a private message, problem was that it was well hidden. Try and check if you have a message somwhere in your inbox hiding, if not....try and do what Letalis has suggested as it has also worked for me

Well the thing is there is nothing at all in my inbox (no old messages). I'm really organised at getting rid of them once read

So anyway, I went to my sent items folder (that's the only one with messages in it) and deleted everything there, since I didn't need them. That seems to have fixed the problem.

Thanks for the help.
