Apple Mail Not Showing Inbox Unread Count on Dock after installing Mavericks

After installing Mavericks, my Apple Mail (connected to my work's Gmail account) stopped showing the Inbox's unread count on the dock. I switched it to "all mailboxes" to see if that would make a difference, and the dock shows 7 unread emails when there are actually none. When I switch it back to "Inbox" unread counts, it shows nothing. I've waited 15 minutes after receiving an email to see if it will show an unread message in the dock, but it does not. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thank you!

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.

Apple mail not showing all the messages?

In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

Solved!
This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
I found a solution thanks to this topic:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
Does work brilliantly though!

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:

Apple Mail not showing any emails in Inbox when using Gmail IMAP.

I am using Mail to check my Gmail which is set up in Google Apps. The problem is that it never seems to synchronize properly with Gmail. Right now, if I click on Inbox in Mail, it is empty. Not one mail. But if I search for something in the search bar, the mails in Inbox appear. This happens on two computers, an iMac and a Macbook Pro, both running Snow Leopard.
I am using about 1.7GB of space on Gmail, so I do have a lot of mail, but for some reason Apple Mail never seems catch up and just run smoothly. Other people on the same domain hosted by Google Apps, also using Apple Mail are fine. Please let me have any ideas.
Operating system: Apple OS X 10.6.1
Program and version you use to access Gmail: Apple Mail 4.1

Welcome to my confusing and problematic world. We currently have 20-odd users on the Google Apps domain. 3 of them are using Apple Mail to access their mail. 1 is having problems. The only thing different about this user is that we imported messages in from Outlook using the Google mail importer. This is the only thing I can think. The importer seemed to ignore certain folders, even if we retried, and it created folders as inbox/insurance_ etc. I changed all the folders to INBOX in caps, as that is what Mail preferred, and removed the trailing underscore.
This is the only thing different about this user.
On a web browser looking at Gmail, I have:
Inbox
Starred
Sent Mail
Drafts
[Imap]Drafts
Apple Mail To Do
Deleted Items
Deleted Messages
Follow Up
INBOX/folder1
INBOX/folder2
INBOX/folder2/folder1
etc...
INBOX/Folder113
Junk E-mail
Misc
Priority
Sent Messages
4 More (containing Chats, All Mail, Spam, Bin)
I did another "Account Info" and got this: http://gallery.me.com/rtaxerxes/100023/Screen%20shot%202009-11-04%20at%2010.19.5 9%20PM
You'll notice, now it does have an Inbox. But the folders it says are 0 messages and 0 KB do actually have stuff in them on the web browser.

E-mail addresses in Apple Mail not showing up in Apple Contacts (iCloud All Contacts)

I've been going though my contacts in the Apple Contacts app, which I have set up to use iCloud, deleting old contacts and cleaning up messy ones. And I've noticed there are a lot of e-mail addresses that I have in Apple Mail - I just start to type a few letters in the To: field and they come up - that are nowhere to be seen in the Contacts app.
Shouldn't these be in my Contacts app? Where else would these contacts be stored? And is there a way to sync them into my iCloud All Contacts or do I have to manually track each one down and add it in the Contacts app?
Quick edit to add: I've also now noticed that the same applies on my iPhone. E-mail addresses appear in iOS Mail that are not in my iOS Contacts app (I've performed a search to be doubly sure). Where do these contacts live and why are they not in my Contacts apps?

I do have both of those, but only iCloud shows up in my Contacts sidebar, and addresses are being sent there so I guess it's the default. Funny how this stuff is all so murky.
Not murky at all:
And as the On My Mac account does not show then it is empty. (It's visible if it is the default or if it has any content)
I haven't come across your last point, (no email address) so no help there I'm afraid.

Apple mail not showing PDFs - just a blue box with question mark

Hi all,
For some weird reason my Mail is now showing PDFs as blue box with a "?" in it... not the PDF icon..
Only happened since the Mavericks upgrade.
Anyone come across this or got an answer?
Thanks

No unfortunately not yet. No answers on this one

One Gmail e-mail not showing in mail, all others are

Hi there,
My mail app, for some reason, has never had any issues with my Gmail account. I noticed recently that one of my e-mails that had been set as unread after I read it is no longer appearing. The Mail app shows 3 unread messages on the mail icon, when in fact I have 4.
If I use the 'search inboxes' feature, it works fine and it finds the e-mail and shows it as unread, increasing my overall unread count to 4. However, when I leave the e-mail from the search menu and scroll down the list of my e-mails, it doesn't appear. In fact, a few hours later, my unread count goes back down to 3. I can search for and find the e-mail again, but just don't understand why it no longer appears in my mail list.
I've logged into Gmail on the web interface and double-checked that the e-mail is in my inbox, which it is.
I did a bit of Googling but couldn't find anything, would appreciate any advice.
Thanks.

Suggest you do some reseach before posting brain-dead snarks. There are many reports of Mail App problems with Google since they changed server configurations, including missing email, change in folder content etc.
If you want your Google mail to function as expected, as it does on the webmail site, use the Google Mail app from the App Store. If this email still shows on the web site, it will show there too.

How can I set up a rule to delete all messages older than 6 months left in Apple Mail's main inbox?

How can I set up a rule to delete all messages older than 6 months left in Apple Mail's main inbox?
I have created other rules to move some of my daily messages into specific folders and I don't wish to auto-delete those.
Just the general stuff that keeps piling up in my me.com main email box. Mail such as FB announcements and other low priority stuff I want to look at before deleting but don't want to keep longer than a week or month.
TIA
thokitts

Thanks, but I am looking for a more automated solution than hand marking emails as junk. I might as well move them to the trash myself.
Again, these are emails I want to receive and quickly read, but not keep longer than a week or month or so. By setting a rule to toss any older than 30 days back then my Mail program (and thus my hard drive) won't be wasting so much space. For example, currently I have over 6000 read messages, with their attachments, in my main email box. I'd rather not have to physically attend to sorting the one I don't want out.
The one I do keep for other reasons get moved into other folders.
It seems this should be possible.

Mail icon shows (1) unread msg, but all msgs are read

Yesterday, my mail icon showed one unread message. When I clicked on the app, there were no new messages, but now the (1) won't go away. How do I get the (1) to go away?
null

I also have the badge showing unread emails at a higher number than emails in my inbox. I think it may be because i deleted a number of emails from iPhone in box without opening them because i had already read them on my Mac. How can i reset. Home/sleep buttons don't do the job. Other remedies?

My Apple Mail is showing 100 million incoming messages and climbing at a rate of about 20k per second

My Apple Mail is showing 100 million incoming messages and climbing at a rate of about 20k per second. Where are all these going and how do I get this to stop?
thanks

Whoa, was your email exposed on a public forum/TV show?
First I would sign out of Mail right away.
Second I would go to your email's website and sign into there. Examples... icloud.com, hotmail.com, yahoo.com and whatever you use. Just to see if it's happening there. If it is happening there, then I strongly suggest changing your email address and whatever website you used it on for login information.
If it's not happening there, then hopefully when you sign back into Mail it won't happen again. If it does happen again, let us know. I wouldn't be able to help but maybe someone else could.

After installing Mavericks on my iMac, Apple Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account. Now Mail crashes every time I open it. What's up?

After installing Mavericks on an imac, Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account. After I clicked on All Mail the program crashed and now it crashes every time I open Mail. Does anyone have an suggestions?

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

I have I-phone 4S - Since updating to IOS 6, when at home with Wi-Fi network with my I Phone connection is not responding sometimes – for example if I want to check my G-mail it shows loading but nothing happens and after few minutes it displays “Cannot Get Mail” – The mail server “imap.gmail.com is not responding, Verify that you have entered the correct account info in mail settings
Other times the Wi-Fi connection works fine and it check e-mail or other within few seconds. The connection problems seems to be intermitted
This issue never happened before with IOS 5 since I bought the new phone in Oct 2011.

We suffered the imap.gmail.com server problem After an IoS 6 upgrade. The simple solution is to delete the problem account, shut down the iPad, start up again and reenter the account. Everything comes back normally. Good Luck everyone!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Re-pair your library with iTunes.
Settings/computers, disconnect your library, then remove the Apple TV from iTunes prefs if necessary.
Then settings/computers/connect to iTunes.
