ok... so the answer is "yes, ra is not finding my mail"...

the above is the current theory... how to fix it? there is nothing in RA
that you can do to fix it... the fix/adjustment has to be done in golded...
what that config setting or code change is, i have no idea... if golded is
like other readers, there may be an option to tell it which lastread index
to use IF it is using the wrong index... if it is using the correct index
(the one for your messages), then it may not be using the last-read and
highest-read pointers correctly...

highest-read is the highest message number you read in the base...
last-read is the last message number you read... to explain how this works,
consider the following...

   100 messages in an area.
   you read up to message 50 and then jump forward to message 75.
   if you leave now, both pointers will point to message 75.
   if you jump back to message 51 and leave, then last-read is 50 and
     highest-read is 75.

the next time you access the message base, the software should start at
message 51 since it was the last one you read...

does that make sense?

the questions are "what index in the jlr file is golded using?"
and "what is golded doing with the two read pointers?"
