Ok,  I'll have a look at that...

Well,  I'm not so sure.  Earlier today one area was showing me 155 new 
messagses.  When I went in to the area it was sitting on one that was on 
friday,  about 48 hours ago.  I got caught up,  left the area,  and was at 
the end of it when a few minutes ago some more mail came in,  at which point 
it was showing me 160 new messages,  also pointing at friday,  though I 
couldn't say for sure if it was the same spot or not.

This is something else,  I think.  Something to do with nfs settings,  
perhaps?
