How can I mark ALL mail read in Mail?

For the past few months my mail program has constantly said that I have two unread messages in it. I have gone through every folder on there and selected all the messages and marked them as Read but there is still a "2" on the icon in the Dock. It's not a huge deal but it's been kind of bugging me since it seems like it should be a simple fix. Anyone have any ideas for how I can get rid of this? Is there a "Master" way to to mark all messages read in the Mail program, in case I'm missing some somewhere? Thank you in advance.
I'm not sure if this helps but the email account that it says the "2 unread messages" are in is a school Outlook account. I have tried deleting the account and readding it and the same "2 unread messages" notification is still there.

In mail enter "unread" without the quotes, in the search box. HIt the Enter key.
You will then see a new item appear, "Status: Message is Unread"
Select this status and all your unread messages will appear.

  • How can I delete ALL of my junk mail at the same time?

    Hello I need some help!
    I could not check my e-mail for a week and now I have nearly 600 junk mail on my mail box.
    I am too busy to delete the junk mail one by one.
    Mac wizard, please tell me how to delete all the junk mail at once!

    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
    Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

  • How can I make a rule to mark all messages sent to Mail Trash as Read?

    How can I make a rule to mark all messages sent to Mail Trash as Read?
    When I look at some emails on my phone, I can see from the title that I don't need to read the email so I delete it without opening it. When I go to my Macbook Pro and open mail, the number of unread messages in my Trash shows next to the name. It drives me nuts. Can I just set a rule to mark all messages sent to trash as read? If that isn't possible, I'd take just making the number not show beside the Trash folder.

    Just in the case that I actually do need to go back to them for some reason. I have some OCD tendencies which is also why the number beside the folder drives me nuts.

    How can I block all other mail account just to only use the exchange mailbox of our company? This is to prevent the user to setup his on company iPhone.

    I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
    What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
    Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
    Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

  • How can I delete all my mail from my computer, but leave it all on .Mac ?

    How can I delete all my mail ( 3.5 ) on my computer ( original G4 ) but leave it all on the .Mac servers?

    backup the device and restore it as new.
    If you already have or don't need a backup:
    Erase your device
    Erasing all content and settings will delete all the data from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All device settings are restored to their factory condition.
    To remove all settings and information from your device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. For more information about this feature, see iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'.
    If you are unable to erase your device, restore the device using iTunes.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  for the exact steps.
    Transferring ringtones isn't supported, as far as I know...

  • How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from Apple Mail.

    How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook in my company have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from my Apple Mailbox on my macbook and other Apple devices.  I do not have my mail backed up in time machine recently nor did I export my emailbox recently.  Any ideas?

    Try looking in your User folder.
    Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
    If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • How can I transfer all my mail and mail boxes to another computer using the same Mac OS 10.7.5?

    I have 2 computers with the same OS 10.7.5. How can I transfer all my Mail & Mail boxes from one to the other?

    Hello Gene,
    It sounds like you would like to transfer your mail and mailboxes from one computer to another.  I recommend exporting the mailboxes from one Mac and then importing them to the destination Mac.  You can find steps in the following articles:

    Mail 6.3 (1503) How can I have all sent emails automatically sent to my in box?

    Do you mean you want all the emails that are now ending up in the Sent mailbox to end up in the Inbox?
    If that is what you want to do, you can create a Rule. Go to Mail /Preferences / Rules, and select Add Rule.
    You create the rule there, and Mail will follow it.

    Lost & Found
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.
    Optional: It depends a bit on why things aren't where iTunes expects to find them but if they are in sensible Artist & Album folders in some common location then my FindTracks script should be able to reconnect them to iTunes. FindTracks uses some fuzzy matching routines and searches for multiple potential locations. For more details see this thread. Once you have repaired the tracks that can be found you can drag the contents of the Lost playlist into Found which will update things.
    Or, you can simply delete all the tracks in the Lost playlist with Ctrl-A to select them and then Shift-Delete to delete.
