Inbox filled with 760 OLD emails

[Barnum]

When I checked my email this morning it showed 760 unread emails but they were old emails. What happened? I use Live Mail.

Do you mean Windows Live Mail? if so give more details, i.e. type of account POP3 or IMAP.

Yes Live Mail...pop3. I finally deleted them all but what could have caused it to happen? I turned on my PC this morning and all these emails....all old and read.

Check how your account handles messages when accessed by POP3. This is how on my Hotmail:-

What email client/ISP are you using Live Mail with?
