you're not doing anything wrong.

The 'showing 1-5' is a navigation type menu. if you have lots of messages it doesn't fill up your screen and hang up the server.

Michiel, I think this part could be made considerably easier to use by removing the tabs, listing all messages in a table (one row per message - not boxes), and providing search/sort-by filters/links.

well, it's not really resolved yet. Basically the issue is that there is only 1 message, but it says "message 1-5".

that's just lazy coding and can be fixed.

I am not satisfied with the resolution of this bug. The application still suffers because users will not understand that the 1-5 applies to all tabs. They will think the total of 5 messages applies to the active tab. Please do SOMETHING to remove the confusion this bug causes.

Changes will probably be made in the next 2.10 release. There's probably also a new UI in the works which will streamline that sort of thing. probably 2.11
