I'm getting the same problem (see the image above) - it shows me as having 32 somethings unopened/clicked/read/whatever, but I can't figure out what this relates to. It's really annoying!

Often that's a RSS newsfeed you subscribed to. Do you see a Feeds menu entry? Feeds > Read feeds will then show you the unread messages. Feeds > Manage feeds would allow you to unsubscribe resp. delete a feed you don't want to keep.

Thanks for the reply but I'm totally up to speed with my RSS. Also the number never changes, it just sits on 32.

What does Tools > E-Mail and Chat Accounts show, e.g. any News Accounts?

No, I don't even have any mail and chat accounts set up. It started doing this when I upgraded to 10 by the way, I thought the new release might clear it up but it hasn't, hence posting here.

i tried to reproduce this by subscribing to an RSS feed.

the icon in dock shows unread items, which was gone once i read them, but i wasnt able to remove the feed. i had to go through setup to start an email account and then sign in, then remove the feed.


any idea if showing the no. of downloads in the dock icon can be enabled? [like in win7 and chrome!]

If you don't use feeds or mails you should never see the blue notification. Try deleting ~/Library/Application Support/Opera/mail/ and restart Opera.

I have a similar problem. Opera version 10.54, build 8348 on 10.6.2. I do use the mail system in Opera so can't delete the mail directory.

When new mail is received it shows the correct number of unread mails in the dock icon. But, after the mails are read the count in the icon never goes below 1. I have to quit Opera and restart in order to clear the error.
