Just sent you a PM to see if it resets your mailbox after you delete it. No idea otherwise. It doesn't tell you it's full does it?

I'd say 65536 is the maximum allowed message, as it's 2 to the power of 16, and all those base 2 numbers mean something in the computer world. I'd say after deleting a message it was double counted or 0 was skipped or something similar and the message counter went below zero and that how it was represented on screen.

There's no need to point out how tragic it is that I know stuff like that...

[code:14fv7eco]65535 = 2^16 - 1
so
65535 = 0-1 for 16-bits integers
[/code:14fv7eco]

It's like you deleted a message (-1) when you already had none (0)

How geekie is that, hey ?
