Last few days, the Mail alert (bell icon) in the companion toolbar has been saying 11 new mail messages, no matter the amount I actually do have. Are you experiencing the same problem? Problem with these big providers is that you can never find the "email them about the problem" link... :|

it sounded like an escort service haha
It's like the Google Toolbar, except Yahoo already uses Google plus you can 1-click to other yahoo services like My Yahoo and Calendar. Works great. It's the sole reason I don't use Mozilla/Netscape 7... those browsers don't support the Companion.

I used it before but I found it annoying. It counts all the emails, including bulk and junk mails which were deleted. So don't surprise when it says that you have an email but you don't see it in the Inbox folder (it's probably in Trash or Bulk folder)
