GMail::Checker problem

zakkotron has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I m having a bit of problem with module GMail::Checker.Whenever i run the code to see the size of the mails and the number,I get the result 272 97724592.But i have 294 messages in my inbox not 272.I even deleted some messages and tried again but the result was the same.The code is below

use GMail::Checker;

my $mail=new GMail::Checker(USERNAME => "XXXXX",PASSWORD => "XXXXXX");
$mail->login("XXXXX","XXXXXX");
my ($no, $size)=$mail->get_msg_nb_size();

print $no." ".$size;

hi zakkotron after waiting for long here i decided to file a bug to the author of this module this is what i got in response `Hi Ansh, I haven't put my hands in Gmail::Checker since 2004, and unfortunately +, upgrades to the Gmail servers might affect the functioning of some +of the functions. The output of the number of emails is an output of the STAT command on + the POP server, as described in RFC 1939. Thus this is the reply provided by the POP3 server. I will look into i +t on my end in order to identify why the number of emails returned by + the server is wrong. Best regards, Faycal CHRAIBI` [download] will post here if get something from his end	[reply] [d/l]

Perhaps you're confusing GMail 'conversations' and the actual number of emails.	[reply]
