Disabling certain mail accounts from "new message count" in Mail dock icon

Hi,
I'd like to disable two of my mail accounts from affecting the new message count that appears over mail's dock icon. How might I do this?
Thanks in advace

the only option you have is to choose between all mailboxes and inbox, in mail>preferences>general
other than that, you may want to look at plugins such as dockstar to do more customization of the notification features: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/dockstar/

  • Importing Mail account from v.3.6 to mail v.4.3, help please

    I am attempting to transition one large mailbox (40k+ emails) from an imac running 10.5.8(mail v3.6) to a new imac with 10.6 and mail v.4.3.
    Migration assistant was used to move the user documents file overnight, however the new imac had been created with a new User account. The Mail files were then dragged manually into the new users Library. Upon starting mail for the first time it did not recognize the files from v.3.6 as a new mail account. The users previous account info was entered, and resulted in mail attempting to download 45000 emails:( even though the emails were visible in the new imacs Mail application.
    Mail that has been sorted into folders by name, is readable and seemingly all there, however mail unsorted in the Inbox contains all blank emails.
    Importing the mailbox doesnt seem necessary at this point, need to prevent mail from attempting to download the entire 40k(30gigs worth) of mail when checking for new mail.
    thanks for the help

  • .me alias in mail AND erroneous new message count

    I have two issues in mail. Neither are huge, but both are annoying.
    Firstly,
    I access two accounts through mail - my .me account (iCloud) and an Exchange account.
    When I send a new email I have a drop down list of which email address to use to indicate where it is From:
    Some time ago I must have set up an alias (or similar), because I have three addresses:
    My iCloud (.me) address
    My Exchange address
    An additional (different) .me address.
    I wish to remove the additional .me address, but I do not know how to. I have looked both in mail preferences and on the iCloud web page.
    Secondly,
    Within the junk folder for my Exchange account the left hand sidebar is indicating that I have one unopened message (the number one in the grey tablet next to the mailbox). This is despite the fact that the junk mailbox is empty. I have also gone into the junk mailbox through Outlook Web Access to confirm that it is empty.
    I have tried synchronising the account, taking it offline and back online, all with no joy.
    Any help for either of these problems is gratefully appreciated.

  • Using (Gmail) IMAP account from 2 different Macs using Mail ?

    Would it be feasible/useful to access an (Gmail) IMAP mail account from 2 different Macs using Mail on each Mac?
    My current situation:
    - My main computer is an iMac in my bedroom on which I use Mail for my Gmail IMAP account.
    - Sometimes (ex: late at night) I can't work from the bedroom and use a PowerBook and the web interface of Gmail. However, I don't like the threaded view for managing emails and therefore prefer the Apple Mail interface.
    Question:
    Would it make sense that I use Apple Mail on the PowerBook to access the Gmail account instead of using the web interface?
    What would be the inconveniences?

    Doing so is pretty easy, and standard. That is what IMAP accounts are for, and many computers can access the same account, and what email client they choose doesn't matter.

  • Mail:  New Message Count Doesn't Show

    I'm using Lion.
    One of my account inboxes (but not all) does not show the new message count.  All of my accounts use Gmail IMAP.  The Badge shows up in the Dock, but inside of Mail, that account does not indicate that there is new mail.
    Suggestions?

    Thanks to MaxB who helped me, and may help you:
    I completely forgot about this post. I was able to resolve the issue when I went into my email account settings and changed my user name from just XYZ to [email protected] and when I saved the changes the count instantly updated after a restart of Mail.
    I hope this works for you too.

  • Mail how to save an email address from new message created?

    Hi, I create a new message, type in the address, but i want to save the address in the address book. How the heck is this possible?
    If i select the email address i control click it, there is NO menu and no options to save the address.
    If i click on the AddressBook button in the tool bar, there is no add button, and i can't drag it to across either, or copy/paste.
    The Help says "In a message that you are sending, click the arrow in a Smart Address you have entered and choose "Add to Address Book" from the pop-up menu." There is absolutely NO arrow and NO menu. Even when i turn ON 'Use Smart Addresses' There is absolutely Nothing in ANY menu that lets me save the address.
    So how the frell is it even possible to save an address? So what, i have to send the email first then wait for someone to reply before i can select 'Add sender to AddressBook' from the message menu? This is madness and certainly not easy or intuitive. And what is the point of the AddressBook button in new messages toolbar?It does nothing. It opens a window and has no options to add an address or enter any details, only has 'TO' But i already know the address!!! Even if i create a new mail , I click the Address book button highlight the address in the list then click the 'TO' button, it does absolutely nothing, im expecting it to just add this address to the address field in the new mail i just created. I then closed the new mail, instead i click the AddressBook button in the main Mail app toolbar, i select an address in the resulting window, hit the 'TO" button, and mail creates a new message, but it doesn't add the address to the new mail's address field, nor does it close it self behind. What a disaster. I thought this was supposed to be simple and eazy, its a nightmare of a design.
    I tried 10.4.5 and now just upgraded to 10.4.6 same problem.
    Frustrated at the lack of intuitiveness.

    Simplest I find is to send the message then look at it in your Sent mailbox. Move the mouse over the To: address and the address will get a blue bubble background with a drop-down arrow at the right end; click this and one of the options should be "add to address book".
    When you start a new message, and click the Address book icon on its toolbar, an address book window should appear with all the entries (individual and group) from your address book. Selecting one (or several) of the entries and clicking to will add them to the To header in your new mail. Alternatively you can drag them. If this is not the behaviour you are seeing, please repost with a more descriptive subject. (It is better for both those trying to help, and those seeking solutions, if the problem described matches the subject!)
    Once you have brought up the little address book window its design behaviour is to stay until you dismiss it; as you say, it does not close when you close the new email. At this stage, selecting an entry and clicking To should start a new email with the To header containing the selected email address. If this is not happening I suspect it is related to your previous problem, so I would include the description there.

  • How do I sync my mail accounts from my macbook using the mavericks os to my new iphone 5

    recently I had to get a new iphone 5, so I backed up the old one with my macbook pro that is using the mavericks os. After restoring the new phone from the back up I noticed that the mail accounts from my macbook had not synced as they used to automatically prior to installing mavericks that seems to force you to sync everything pretty much through icloud. Is there any simple way to do this clone my mail accounts to my new iphone 5 from my macbook.

    Hi
    You will probably have to add the mail accounts yourself onto the iphone see here:

  • Folder new message count not updating?

    On the web version of iCloud Mail the INBOX new message bubble is updating properly. However, secondary folders are not. Given that I use RULES to automatically send certain messages to secondary folders it is important that the new message bubble appears and updates for all folders. This is how it used to be. Has this feature been discontinued or is it a bug?

    Jason,
    What screengrab?
    What type of account do you have -- POP, IMAP or .mac? How many accounts do you have? Do you access your account from more than one computer?
    Unread message count where -- on the Mail Icon in the Dock or in individual mailboxes? In the Dock, the Unread message count will NOT reflect any messages moved to custom mailboxes by Rules, but only those in the Inboxes.

  • How do I remove an e-mail account from my Nokia e-...

    On my Nokia 5230 I'm using the Nokia e-mail client: http://store.ovi.com/content/8794 . This works fine for me. Yesterday I encountered a little proplem which I cannot resolve so far. I want to remove an e-mail account from my account list and I cannot find a option to do that. Within the menu I can find an option where I can change the settings for the different e-mail accounts, but there is no menu option "remove account". If someone knows a solution please feel free to share it with me.

  • Incorrect message count in Mail.app inbox (not unread message count)

    In Mail.app my inbox is empty but I have a current count of about 4.3 billion messages (varies some). Does anyone know a fix for this? I have 3 IMAP accounts set up as well as several RSS feeds. This is not a major problem since the new message count is usually correct (except for some minor issues updating the GMail count) but is a nuisance still.

    It is not the answer to "billions", but click on View and see which is offered: Hide Deleted Messages or Show Deleted Messages, and whether shown in gray or black type?
    Perhaps you should use Rebuild on each individual Inbox. If you do, be aware that all messages seem to disappear, before returning, so do not panic and do anything until Rebuild is finished.

  • Is there a way to change a Mail account from POP to IMAP?

    Greetings,
    Is there a way to change a Mail account from POP to IMAP so as not to have to create a new account?
    Thanks

    GMail offers both without you have to pick one or the other? If so, and changing the server doesn't work then you will need to re-establish the account in Mail. Don't delete the old account (or you will lose any downloaded messages) - there's no reason why you shouldn't have both available. You can move the messages from the POP account to another folder and then delete it.

  • Converting Mac Mail Accounts from POP to IMAP?

    I'm just discovering IMAP for keeping my email synced. Is it possible to convert my 5 Mac Mail accounts from POP to IMAP or do I really have to start 5 new accounts & then deal with importing all that email to the new ones somehow? I've tried experimenting with changing the incoming mail server manually form pop.gmail.com to imap.gmail.com to no avail. Any suggestions/instructs are appreciated. Also, seems that, at least for gmail, the recommended Apple Mail client pref settings aren't current with Mail 3.5. Any guide to where mailbox behaviors should be set to work correctly for gmail & other mail servers (I'm using gmail, comcast, godddy and a private mail server) would be great!

    first you have to make sure that the email providers for those accounts offer IMAP. if they don't you can't do anything. gmail does as you mentioned but most email providers only offer one type of access. if an email provider supports IMAP then you have to create a new account for IMAP for the email address. there is no way to change the type of an existing account. once you do set it up it will sync with the server so if your mail was kept on server (that's the default for gmail POP I think) you don't have to do anything. It will sync automatically. If you remove POP mail from server (default for most POP providers) then you'll have to move your messages from the existing local POP mailbox to the imap mailbox. It will sync with the server and upload all those emails back to the server. That might take a long time and a lot of bandwidth if you have a lot of stuff so it's up to you if you want to do this. You can simply move that mail to a local mailbox in "on my mac" section. after your imap account is set and has all the mail you need, you can delete the POP account.
    Lastly see this link for gmail imap setup (also check out the link to recommended client settings)

  • Transfer mail accounts from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2013

    Hello friends! 
    We changing computers in the office
    and I would appreciate some help.
    We are moving from Windows XP and
    Outlook 2003 to
    Windows 8.1 and
    Outlook 2013.
    That we can transfer mails with
    pst-files I know,
    but does anyone have a solution how to transfer
    our e-mail accounts.
    Each computer has 7 accounts linked
    to it and I'd rather not do it manually.
    Is there any solution?
    Many thanks for your help!
    Kind regards:

    I would say it's not a stable way since the profile may easily get corrupted, so some people think it's not possible to complete the migration.
    Use Auto account setup and let Outlook 2013 set the accounts up for you.
    older versions:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\
    Outlook 2013 profiles:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Profiles
    The steps at
    Moving outlook to a new computer apply to both Outlook 2010 and 2013.
