Why is my private mail inbox showing as 2% full?

How odd! The main page PM display for me shows:

Your Inbox is 2% full

but

Physics Forums > User Control Panel For quartodeciman > Private Messages > Inbox shows:

Show Messages From: the beginning
Jump to folder: Inbox

There are no messages to display in this folder for this time period.

 

[Mr. Robin Parsons]

Have you tried looking in the 'sent messages' box?, or elongated the number of "days to view" results?

Explore, you might just find the answer!

Fascinating!

The sent message used space counts against the inbox used space. Yes, I do have an unread sent message out there.

Fascinating!

('fascinating' in my vocabulary is a polite euphemism for something else)
