Apple mail in lion - show un-read counts?

I have a main inbox and sub inboxes below.
Q: How can I get the boxes to show un-read counts?

Mandatory initial question:
What do you have selected in Mail, Preferences, "Dock unread count" ?

Apple Mail no longer showing unread messages in dock

Apple Mail no longer shows unread e-mails in my dock. I recently upgraded to 10.8.4. The program is running and I have tried the various "Dock Unread Count" settings in Preferences. I have also rebuilt the library envelope index files to no avail. I have a lot of rules and over that I use to put e-mails in various folders - is it possible that the rules are interefering with the dock count even though they didn't under 10.7?

In System Preferences > Notification Center, select Mail in the left hand column, and check the box, "Badge app icon" toward the bottom on the right.

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion to connect with Exchange 2007?

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion 10.7.2 to connect with Exchange 2007? It worked perfectly with Snow Leopard... upgraded to lion and it won't work. We use Exchange 2007 with SP 3 and Rollup 4. Won't connect... and I can't get Apple to give me any direction.

We finally got it to work today. We had to call and pay for the microsoft support service, but the issue was on the server end. We had to go into the iis manager... went to sites... when to default website...and changed the SSL settings for Auto Discover, EWS Exadmin, echange, exchweb, owa... and the rest..
Change the settings to ignore client certificates.
Problem solved. Can finally send and receive.

Why do Apple Mail attachments not show in SENT?

I use Mountain Lion OSX10.8.2 on a 27" iMac/1TB HD/12GB RAM.
When I write an Apple Mail email and attach a jpg (for example),
I am never sure if the attachment was sent.
Apple Mail will not show me in SENT that there was an attachment.
There is no record of the attachment on the previous sent email.
Am I missing something? How the heck am I suppose to know if
ANY attachment was sent or not?

Hmm I thought this got sorted out in 10.8 but maybe not.
I asume you are in full screen, with the three column view?
If you change to classic you should see the attachment paper clip?
What I had to do for a work-a-round was create a "rule." Even with this you have to right click the selected sent box>> apply rules

Someone who receives my mail sent from Apple Mail cannot receive attachments or read my email even though they are on a Mac using Safari. How could they be using Safari to receive or read my mail?

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. This person receiving my email, while on a Mac with Safari is reading their mail through Safari using Horde--our recent discovery. Why they chose to do that in unclear. The last email we sent, however, was miraculously read and received and the attachment was viewed with no problem after we told them our mail was coming from a Mac thriugh Apple Mail. It seems that telling them that our emails were coming from a Mac and using Apple Mail was enough to make them think that perhaps THEY were doing something not quite right. Thank you both, Level 7 and Level 5.
But thank you especially for the meteorologists in the UK for putting forth the correct routes for Sandy these last days, you probably saved a lot of lives.

Apple Mail in Lion not keeping accounts when quitting

When I add mail accounts that are not Mobile Me in Apple Mail, the account disappears each time I quit and restart Mail. Then I have to add the entire account again only to be lost the next time. So I can never quit Mail. I've always had several accounts in Apple Mail without issue. However, since I've updated to Lion, Apple Mail drops account every time I quit Mail. So when I relaunch Mail, the only thing there is my Mobile Me account. Why is this happening and how do I remedy it? Thanks!

Are you using the classic view or the new vertical view.
If the latter, I have noticed that unless you scroll right up to the top of the mail, the blue dot does not disappear.
Secondly, if you are using conversation mode, click the small arrow to expand the list of mails under that conversation, if one of them is not read or not scrolled right up to the top, it will show as unread.

Apple Mail vs. Gmail IMAP disagreeing counts

A friend has two iMacs (10.6.5), iPad & iPhone (iOS 4.2) recently switched to gmail for his primary email service.
The problem is that not all the devices “see” the same Sent, Drafts and Trash mailbox.
Working with other IMAP services, I never see issues like this, so I know this is a gmail specific issue - there’s a disconnect between the way Gmail organizes it’s IMAP mailboxes vs. the way the Apple Mail does.
For instance, when you configure Apple Mail for a gmail IMAP account, it assumes your Sent mailbox will be called “Sent Messages”. And on the gmail web side, a Label always gets created called “Sent Messages”. My experience is that without any intervention, when you send email, it shows up in Apple Mail in the proper “Sent” mailbox, but in gmail it shows up in “Sent Messages”, NOT gmail’s Sent mailbox.
For some reason, with a gmail account, the old trick of Mailboxes > Use this Mailbox for doesn’t work because the options are grayed out.
So, how I’ve improved this situation is to open up PropertyListEditor and edit com.apple.mail.plist. There is a key called ‘MailAccounts’ under which is an “item” representing the Gmail account. Underneath, there’s an entry for ‘SentMessagesMailboxName’. I’ve tried changing this to both “Sent Mail” or “[Gmail]/Sent Mail” and both work in the sense that any email sent from Apple Mail ends up in gmail’s Sent mailbox, and NOT in “Sent Messages”
Here’s where the mystery deepens.
In my friend’s situation, when I do this, when path is set to [Gmail]/Sent Mail, I see two Sent mailboxes
in Apple Mail, I see 886 messages in the Sent under ‘Mailboxes’, and 823 in ‘Sent Mail’ under GMAIL section
in gmail, the ‘Sent Mail’ mailbox has 651 items and there exists a “[Imap]/Sent Mail” mailbox which has 609 items
When I edit the plist and change the path with PropertyListEditor to just “Sent Mail”, Apple Mail only shows one Sent mailbox with 823 messages items, but is missing the message sent within the past couple days.
Any ideas how to make sense of this?

No real answer to your problem, but I can confirm the problem exists...I've been chasing it forever. Another issue (that is equally as perplexing) is that no matter how you configure deleted message behavior in Apple Mail, when you delete a message it NEVER shows up in the Gmail TRASH folder. If someone would just create a definitive guide for using Gmail and Apple Mail they could probably sell it.

Destination directory for draft messages in Apple Mail (Mountain Lion)

Hi,
Please could someone possibly tell me location of the Apple Mail draft messages directory.
I'm trying to restore these from Mountain Lion, but am unable to find the folder, where the messages are located.

Hello there, Ludwip.
The following Knowledge Base article provides instructions on how to restore Mailboxes in Mail:

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How to auto-capitalize first word of a sentence in Apple Mail (Mountain Lion)?

I've looked around and found a few posts which say this is not possible. I hope that becuase this is not too strenuous a piece of auto-correct functionality - and even works in iOS that it surely must be possible to get it to work on Mountain Lion Mail....
I appreciate people will suggest learning to type. Thanks in advance for that. If anyone has genuine advice of how to solve this particularly irritating quirk, I would love to know.
It's particularly annoying as I'm in the process of converting a long time Outlook for Mac user to Apple Mail - and this is one feature they have pointed out immediately. (As well as a 'Move To' search box that Apple doesn't have)

I am also having this problem. Does anyone have an answer?
I jus upgraded from Pages 4.3 and it's in Preferences. Not so in Pages 5.0.

Problems with Apple Mail attachments not showing in Outlook

I am experiencing problems when using the new Apple Mail 5.0 (with OSX Lion) to send PDF attachments. The recipient using MS Outlook on a PC will see the email, see the attachment icon (paper clip) but they cannot click to open the attachment.
It's like the attachment was stripped off the email.
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

I also have this problem, it seems to be something to do with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22343 but I cannot find the "View in Place" or "View as Icon" options. Anyone had any luck?
This however, maybe the cause (with no real solution but to switch to plain text format): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesoftwareupdate/thread/7 98ae640-9091-44c9-b663-63152eb2f0fe/

Problem with unchecking secure sockets layer checkbox in outgoing SMTP server Apple Mail / Mountain Lion

After installing Mountain Lion my mail was converted and all my messages showed up, however, when I try to send I get an error. I have traced this error to the fact that Apple has automatically checked the box "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)" in my Apple Mail preferences even though it wasn't checked before upgrading. Now whenever I try to uncheck it it keeps filling itself back in. I have tried to delete that outgoing server and readd it and it continues to check the box.

Hi
I have a similar problem here i have work accounts which do not need the SSL ticked but when I uncheck the box and in a few seconds the tick is back up again sometimes I have to click about 10 times or so for it to stay off. I tried to do your sollution it did not work on your suggested port but seemed to work on the 25 port . Also I found i only have the problem when I am at work were we are on a PC network and firewall. It seemed to work fine on a normal home line. Also it only happens on Mountain Lion I have a older macbook with snowleopard and there i have not problems sending messages
as right it was said Apple needs to look into that ASAP as it is very frustrating

Apple Mail on Lion

Dear all
When the new Apple Mail loaded from Lion's platform I was pleased with its look. My mailbox was split into 3 columns: mailboxes, message previews and then a large window which would show the content of each email as I clicked onto each email. Somehow I have deleted the final window and I dont know how to get it back! Please help.
Thank you

I only asked as it seemed apple have removed a feature from mountain lion that was actually quite useful, that being the option to save account passwords in keychain or not. I have automatic login enabled which i guess i should switch off and add require password on wake for more security.
Thanks for your comments.

Apple Mail not syncing Inbox Status (Read/ Unread)

This is Ramya from Zoho Mail Technical Support team.
When a Zoho Mail account is configured as IMAP in Apple Mail client in Mac Mail clients, the emails are synced fine in all folders except Inbox.
When the emails in Inbox are marked as Read/ Unread in other devices, the emails are not marked as Read/ Unread in the Mac Mail client. The new emails that arrive in Inbox are getting retrieved in the mail client, but only the status of the emails in Inbox remain unchanged.
After analyzing the logs in detail, we see that Apple Mail is not issuing the IMAP STATUS command for Inbox folder alone.
To check if there is any issue, we tried configuring Yahoo, Dovecot email accounts in Mac Mail client and the result was the same for Yahoo and Dovecot accounts also.
Interestingly, when we configure a Gmail account as IMAP, Apple Mail issues the IMAP STATUS command and syncs the status of the emails in the Inbox folder also.
We have a lot of users who use Zoho Mail via IMAP in Apple Mail Client who face this issue and have raised it to us in our community forums, emails. You can have a look at the https://forums.zoho.com/topic/zoho-and-apple-mail-via-imap to find the issues reported by the user regarding Apple Mail IMAP sync.

Very interesting but if you want Apple to see it please use this link:

We are just fellow Apple users on these forums, but thank you for posting!

Apple mail inbox not showing all new gmail

When checking gmail through apple mail some mail is showing in archive, some in important, some in other folders, but NOT in the actual inbox itself.
Running Yosemite and all up to date.
Any clues as to why?

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Apple Mail 7.1 shows unread badge when nothing is there

Hoping for help - since upgrading to Mavericks, my "Unread" smart mailbox shows a "23" badge, but nothing in the folder. Nothing is hiden, and I've tried several things all to no avail:
+ Mail/Rebuild
+ Creating a new Smart folder for all unread - still shows "23"
+ checked the webmail version for anything "unread" - (nothing...)
Thanks in advance.

Quit your mail entirely, then in terminal do:
mv ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope* ~/Desktop
This moves all your "Envelope Index*" files to your desktop. An alternative is deleting the files, but this allows you to keep them as a temporary back-up (you can delete them at-will later). Also, you can move the files from Finder instead of Terminal, if you prefer.
After the files have been moved, re-open Mail
This should re-load all your email messages, updating/restoring the count
While this works, it does not explain the reason the count goes missing, nor does it ensure that the count won't go missing again in the future, but at least it's a temporary workaround.
