Opera's Email Client - the case of the invisible spam

Recently I have found invisible spam in my spam folder and it's there even after I've deleted emails from the spam folder. In the past when all emails were deleted the folder showed a blank white space, as do draft or outgoing folders still, now I find blue and white lines with no text in the spam folder which remain even when new spam emails come in. What's more the invisible emails are growing originally there were 10-15 blank lines, now there are nearly 300.

How can I get rid of this effect and banish invisible spam emails for good?

Things you can try:

Set opera:config#consistency to 0 and restart.

While Opera is closed, delete the cache, opcache and temporary_downloads folders. See Help -> About Opera for the location.

Upgrade to the latest 10.52 snapshot.

The first one will probably fix it.

Thanks for this - I will try, but I don't understand about the config# - where do I find that and out of interest what is it? I have tried emptying those directories you mention without changing the config#, but that has not made any difference. I might just wait for a new release though before upgrading - I admit that I rather regretted upgrading to .51 sadly.
Cheers

Well I don't know what you've done, but it has worked - thank you. I was a bit nervous about replacing a number over 1.25 billion with 0, but I noticed when I started it up again that the consistency number is now over 1.25 billion again. But no invisible spam any more.

cheers
