Hello g00r00!

I suspected that this might be the case, yes! You'll have to forgive me. :-D
Just to double-check, by "e-mail", you mean a message (OK, e-mail then) in a
Base Type: Local with Private: Yes? Or are there some other things that signify
an e-mail?
(How do local "conferences", i.e. Private: No, contrast with message bases of
Base Type: Networked and Private: Yes? when it comes to "New" status/last read
pointers and Read/Unread status?)
Anyway... :-D

The MC prompt is #127; I've shortened it to using only &2 (= number of unread
e-mails) as I felt that that was the only thing of interest to the user when
wanting to check for unread e-mails.

Yep -- I would say the first, as it didn't display (list an entry for) one
unread e-mail.

Yep! :-D
Simply post two e-mail messages to yourself in a Base Type: Local, Private:
Yes area. Read the second one, but not the first one. And call MC /UNREAD;
for me it displays a correct prompt #127, but no entries in the list (prompt
#126):

Thanks! Installed the new one now, so we're on the same "base".
The MC /NOREAD issue is still present there.
Best regards
