Bug with number of new emails?

The "new mail" count on the home screen is always 2 times as high as the real number of new emails.
The badge shows 4 when I have 2 new emails, 6 when I have three etc.
I've restored the iPhone, no luck.
I have Gmail configured on Imap.
Would you know what's the problem?
Thanks

Have you tried deleting and recreating your Gmail account on your iPhone?
Since you are accessing the account as an IMAP account, no messages that remain on the server in all server stored mailboxes will be lost in the process.

HT5622 I own three Apple devices, but my iPad remained associated with my old email address and password. How can I register it with the same new email and password?

I own three Apple devices, but my iPad remained associated with my old email address and password. How can I register it with the same new email and password?

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

On my iPad home screen, the mail app used to indicate the number of new emails I had with a number in a red circle. This has vanished since I upgraded. Does anyone know why, and how to restore this?

On my IPad 2 home screen, the mail app used to indicate the number of new messages with a number in a red circle, next to the app. This has vanished, I think about the same time as when I upgraded to the new OS. Does anyone know why and how to restore this feature?

Thanks. While you were replying to my question, I went into notifications and figured
it out. Appreciate the quick response!

Number of new emails not appearing on menu bar

I am using Firefox 4 and yahoo mail. The yahoo menu bar appears at the top of my browser screen. Where it shows "mail" a number would appear showing me how many new emails were waiting for me. With FF4 it no longer shows.
The actual number is not important to me. But the fact that there are fresh emails waiting is important. Is this feature gone? Is there a way to activate it? Is there another alert I can use?

Mail app bug with jumping to new line below signature

Hi!
Since day one of using Lion i have this incredibly annoying bug with Mail application.
I have a formated signature in all my emails. Sometimes when I am composing a mail (or rather replying for one) and when I hit RETURN on keyboard, cursor moves BELOW signature and inserts new line below signature - not in place when it was when I hit RETURN.
The same is when I have cursor in middle of my message and hit enter. Nothing happens - text ater place when cursor was when I hit enter is staying where it was but cursor moves below signature and enters new line in there.
Anyone has solution for this?

Triple-click the word "telnet" in the line below on this page to select the whole line:
telnet imap.gmail.com 993
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You should almost instantly get three lines of output below what you entered, the last of which is this:
Escape character is '^]'.
If there's no output within ten seconds, consider that a failure. If you get something different from the above, please post it in a reply. You can then quit Terminal.

Bug with digitally signed/encrypted emails

Summary:
In Lion, inbound emails that are digitally signed and/or encrypted do not contain any indicators that show that the email is encrypted and that the sender has digitally signed it.
Even worse, if the contents of a digitally signed email have been altered, Mail does not display any warnings that the message has been tampered with.
Steps to Reproduce:
Send an encrypted and digitally signed email. It will be received without any indicators saying it was signed/encrypted. In addition, alter the digitally signed email source with a text editor, and then send the email (using telnet commands) to the mail server. When received, Mail does not warn the user that the email was modified.
Both of these issues were not present in Mail under Snow Leopard
Expected Results:
Digitally signed/encrypted emails should have visual indicators to show it (see screenshot below showing same email in Lion and a different client). In addition, digitally signed emails that were altered must cause mail to warn the user about the tampering.
Actual Results:
Mail does not show that an email is signed/encrypted. Mail does not show that a digitally signed email has been tampered with.
Neither of these two issues were present in the Mail.app in Snow Leopard.
Anyone found a solution....?

Running OS X 10.7.3 Apple Mail version 5.2(1257)
My signature and encryption work fine for both incoming and outgoing e-mail. However there is an odd thing I see with e-mail received from Outlook senders.
The e-mail from Outlook 2007 and 2010 show in my Apple Mail as Encrypted,Encrypted. Not as Signed,Encrypted as one would expect. Also in some cases I do not see anything in the header to indicate that the e-mail is Signed or Encrypted, unless I open the e-mail a second time.
On the second attempt to view the e-mail I then can see in the header Encrypted,Encrypted when from Outlook. I only see this behavior when the Sender is using MS Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird.
I hope this bug is addressed as soon as possible.

Bug with {tag_productimage} in Invoice Emails

Hi, it appears from testing that when BC emails an invoice that includes {tag_productimage} to show the product image, it has a bug when the image file name has spaces in it. Instead of rendering "my filename.jpg" in the email as "my&20filename.jpg" (since the URL convention is to replace spaces with %20) BC is rendering "my+filename.jpg" It's inserting a + not %20 so the image can't be found on the server.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior? I suppose there is no workaround on this.
My client has thousands of images named with spaces in file names.

This is not a bug but character encoding rendering with spaces in file names and people with some certain browsers and versions of IE will have issues with the filenames as well. Also trying to run scripts through onto the files will have issues as well. Servers and sever setup's also can have issues if you do this.
This is why one of the fundermental musts of the web is to do all files lowercase with no spaces.
From just a quick google for example - http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/web/how/filename.shtml

When firefox is minimalized, it does not show the number of new emails in my inbox

Using Windows 7 on an HP Pavillion dv6-3225dx Entertainment PC

Thanks for the help. The only one which worked was Gmail Watcher which does not change the icon. But it provides similar functionality by creating a periodic message visible at the bottom left of the screen telling me how many unread emails are in my inbox.
The ones I tried which did NOT work were:
Gmail notifier by Kang;
Gmail Manager by Long
Gmail Checker by Nguyen; and
Gmail Favicon Notifier by Pendelton.

[SOLVED] Adapting conky "# of new emails" script to a message preview

The Conky wiki has a section to display the number of new emails (Gmail) with a python script. It appears that script uses urllib for credentials and then xml.etree to navigate the xml.
I'm trying to adapt the script to display the sender and title, since they exist in the xml.
I've been reading the documentation and after looking at the xml I'm pretty sure I need to use indexing, can't get it to work though.
Here's the script from the wiki with my comments on what I'm trying to add in.
#! /usr/bin/env python
import urllib.request
from xml.etree import ElementTree as etree
# Enter your username and password below within quotes below, in place of ****.
# Set up authentication for gmail
auth_handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
auth_handler.add_password(realm='New mail feed',
uri='https://mail.google.com/',
user= '****',
passwd= '****')
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(auth_handler)
# ...and install it globally so it can be used with urlopen.
urllib.request.install_opener(opener)
gmail = 'https://mail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom'
NS = '{http://purl.org/atom/ns#}'
with urllib.request.urlopen(gmail) as source:
tree = etree.parse(source)
fullcount = tree.find(NS + 'fullcount').text
# attempt to navigate to sender of email (feed/entry/author/name)
firstemailsender = tree[0][5][5][0].text
secondemailsender = tree[0][6][5][0].text
# attempt to navigate to title of email (feed/entry/title)
firstemailtitle = tree[0][5][0].text
firstemailtitle = tree[0][5][0].text
print(fullcount + ' new')
# added print that doesn't work because of other things not working
print (firstemailsender + ' - ' + firstemailtitle)
print (secondemailsender + ' - ' + secondemailtitle)

Hey,
I've re-written the code to use XPath instead of indexing, IMO it's more robust and compact. findall() returns a list of all Elements that match the given XPath. Make sure to include the namespace before each element name in the path (you can see that below when I use findall() to get all "author/name" elements.
The code saves all new mails in an array (mails) full of dicts, each with a 'sender' and 'title' keys. The script will blow up if you have zero or one new emails, but you can trivially check the length of the mails array before printing at the end.
If you have any questions about the code just ask.
#! /usr/bin/env python
import urllib.request
from xml.etree import ElementTree as etree
# Enter your username and password below within quotes below, in place of ****.
# Set up authentication for gmail
auth_handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
auth_handler.add_password(realm='New mail feed',
uri='https://mail.google.com/',
user= '*****',
passwd= '*****')
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(auth_handler)
# ...and install it globally so it can be used with urlopen.
urllib.request.install_opener(opener)
gmail = 'https://mail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom'
NS = '{http://purl.org/atom/ns#}'
with urllib.request.urlopen(gmail) as source:
tree = etree.parse(source)
root = tree.getroot()
mails = []
# only iterate over new mails, which have a tag "entry"
for entry in root.findall(NS+'entry'):
message = {}
# locate sender and title info using XPath (?) again
message['sender'] = entry.findall(NS+'author/'+NS+'name')[0].text
message['title'] = entry.findall(NS+'title')[0].text
mails.append(message)
print(str(len(mails)) + ' new')
print (mails[0]['sender'] + ' - ' + mails[0]['title'])
print (mails[1]['sender'] + ' - ' + mails[1]['title'])

After syncing my phone my email shows differently...It showed all of my emails as unread. Now it shows how many emails I have withthe red oval beside the envelope icon rather than just the new ones. How do I get it to go back to only showing new emails?

After syncing my phone my emails all showed up as unread. Even after reading them again! I still get the # of total emails in the red oval beside the envelope app picture. It used to only show the number of NEW emails. How do I get it to go back to that?? HELP!

Is there a setting in about:config that controls the length of the alltabs list? I would look for such a thing, and change the setting if it is there. A setting of -1 should make it limitless.

Need to reset a new email setting for my Desktop Mac OSX 10.8.6

I have had my OSX 10.8.6 for some time and could not remember my email password and ultimately deleted the account. I now need to start over with creating a new email account, but am having trouble. It is not working and saying the server is "off-line." Can anyone help? As of now I cannot get mail using the mail account provided with Mac computer.

Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages

Badge count for new emails in my main account has started including my other acc ?

On my ipad, my main mail account badge has started to include the number of new emails in my gmail account as well even though my gmail acc. badge next to it shows it's own correct number of new emails. How do I revert to my main account only showing its individual number? Thanks.

If you go to Settings>Notification Centre>Mail each of your email accounts will appear here separately. You can then change if Badges are displaye on the Mail App - which will show you the number of emails - or not.

Mail application fails to indicate the number of new messages. Any ideas how to fix this?

Ever since I upgraded to to OS 10.6, my Mail application fails to indicate the number of new messages. Any ideas how to fix this? It does, indicate how many new messages arrive on my comcast email account. It only fails to indicate the number of new emails arriving in my @mac.com account. Strangely enough, my devices--iPad and iPhone--indicate the number of new emails arriving in both accounts.

Thanks. While you were replying to my question, I went into notifications and figured
it out. Appreciate the quick response!

IOS7 - new email sound won't change

Anyone else having a problem where they change the sound effect associated with receiving a new email, but it continues to play the original sound? I've tried setting it to several different new sound effects and it keeps playing the original one. This is on an iPhone 5.

Managed to get this issue fixed. Had to go into Settings -> Notification Center and adjust the sound associated with each of my email addresses I check with my iPhone. Then had to reset my phone and voila, the correct new sound was now playing. I'm not sure why there is a setting for New Email under the Sounds section if it is over-ridden by the sound set in the Notification Center section, but oh well.
