Dock icon shows 13 messages unread?

My Mail Dock icon shows that I have 13 unread messages but I have read all of them. How or what can I do to fix this? It is very anyoing to see this as I think there are more messages that need to be read than are really there.
Thanks for your help with this.

Make new smartfolder set to display unread messages only (in the unlikely case that they exist but can't be found in the regular folders), they may be visible this way.
That worked for me - Thanks

  • OSX Lion Server app hangs; dock icon shows incrementing counter

    I'm running OSX Lion (10.7.3) on a MacMini.
    since yesterday, the following concistenly happens: when I start the server app, it says "connecting to the server" next to the spinning wheel at the bottom right corner of the app window. After a few seconds, the app's dock icon shows a red counter (akin to the "unread counter" of the mail app) which is continuously being incrememted, and the (in)famous colored spinning wheel comes up as well: the server app hangs, and shows up as "Not Responding" in the Activity Monitor.
    I've checked the System Diagnostic Reports on the Console window, and it reports the Server app as hanging, followed by a few thousand lines of messages ...
    Does anybody know what goes wrong, or better, how to resolve this problem??

    I have the exact same issue. I can see from Console.app, that
    opendirectoryd: got error 1100
    Can somebody please help?

  • Dock icon shows yesterday's date when closed

    Per the title, dock icon shows Dec 1 when iCal is closed. When I open it, it changes to today's date, but when I quit it reverts to 12/1.
    Trashed preference file, no change.
    Not the biggest deal--just takes me back to Tiger--however I do get concerned when something "new" starts happening for no apparent reason.

    dfreiwald,
    Have you removed the icon from the Dock and replaced it with the iCal icon located in your Applications folder?
    I would say this is more of a nuisance than something to worry about.
    ;~)

  • Dock icon says there are unread messages - there arent' any

    Since a few weeks I've had this problem:
    Every morning I go through my e-mail, after reading every one of them and marking them as read, the Dock icon tells me there are still unread messages.
    Even selecting everything in my inbox (28512 messages), marking everything unread and then marking everything read (an operation that takes quite a while) there are still unread messages left, according to the Dock icon.
    The only way I know how to fix it is to restart Mail.
    Anyone know what's going on here? It's getting quite irritating...

    I, too, am having a problem finding "phantom" unread messages. I've got a number of accounts set up and three of them are showing this problem. It started when I needed to restart mail from a time machine back-up after a problem with my system. The mail messages were all imported into the mail database and some show now as unread. I've been through all the in boxes and found no unread messages...
    any help would be welcome.

  • Mac Mail: Unread mail counter on dock icon shows "phantom" unread mails

    The mailconter of my Mac Mail icon on the dock shows 25 unread messages, but I'm unable to find these inside Mac Mail as unread messages.
    I did check all mailboxes and their subfolders for any undread messages that might be inside them, but I didn't find any.
    Is there any way to reset or recalculate the unread mail counter for the dock icon?

    Hi Robert
    The proposed rebuild did suddenly reveal the 25 unread mails insinde my archive mailfolders. By marking these as read again now shows the correct count of unread mails on the dock icon.
    Thanks a lot, your hint was most helpful!
    Regards

  • Hold down dock icon - show windows

    With Snow Leopard, I used to be able to hold down an icon on the dock (where multiple windows were open for the same app), and it would show all of the various pieces of that app I had open.  With Lion you have to click and select open all Windows
    Example, Outlook:  Holding down the mouse button would show all of the open mail messages.
    Now, it only shows a menu, where you can select 'show all windows'.
    is there any way to get that feature back? (other than going back to SL?)

    The 2-finger double click doesn't work for me.
    What worked is a three-finger swipe down (called "App Expose" in the system preferences) over the applicaiton icon.  If you use an external mouse, then you can use the MIssion Control button over the app (ie. for the Magic Mouse, you would double tap over the dock icon).

  • 8703E - Message status shows 2 messages unread

    On my 8703E the message status icon in the top left hand corner shows 2 messages as unread.  In Outlook and on the device in messages all messages have been opened and read.

    The first thing you can try is a hard reset: remove the battery from the device (while still powered on) for 30 seconds, then reinsert. If that doesn't work then try checking every message folder you have.

  • Mail icon shows new messages but cannot access them

    I am setting up my email account on my new iPod Touch.  Put in all the info, the account is verified, the mail icon shows 50 unread messages, but when I tap the icon I see the same old list of mail services, iCloud, MS Exchange, but not my account.  My mail service, an independant, supports pop and iMac so I have set it up as both and neither works.  Seems like it is logging into the account.  Any idea?

    It is covered in the Troubleshooting chapter of the iPod users Guide. It includes:
    "Restarting and resetting iPod touch
    If something isn’t working right, try restarting iPod touch, forcing an app to close, or resetting
    iPod touch.
    Restart iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger
    across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, hold down the On/Off button
    until the Apple logo appears. \"

  • Dock icon showing 'do not' symbol

    After upgrading to OS X Lion 10.7.3, I noticed several dock icons with 'don't' symbol.  What is it? 

    Great choice. So basically, unless you have something vital to your workflow that is showing as no longer supported, try updating it, otherwise uninstall them. I think I only had about two old Plc programs when I updated AppleWorks being one, so really no noticeable dig fence in workflow and much prefer working in Lion.
    Good luck

  • Dock Icon showing stats?

    Ok, so Im new to Mac and have a silly question. Ive been using BitTorrent and iRip a lot recently. They used to show stats on the actual icon on the Dock. Things like upload/download speed and progress bars. Now that Ive upgraded to Mountain Lion its gone. I right clicked and looked under options as well as Dock settings and there is nothing there. Any advice?

    I keep Activity Monitor's dock icon set to the memory pie chart. Is that what you mean?
    there are half-a-dozen different things it will display, as long as Activity Monitor is open, whether its window is open or not.

  • Spotlight : application icons showing as messages icons... why ?

    Hi,
    Searching for an application in spotlight, for example "imovie", instead of showing
    iMovies icons, it shows a message icon (open envelope).
    This happens to ALL aplications...
    Why? How to fix it ?
    Thanks a lot,
    Dany

    I tried a few fixes before I got one to work for me. Some of the fixes I tried:
    I disabled file sharing. I did someone linking the problem to file sharing. (Sorry I don't have the link to hand.)
    Restarted in Safe Mode, deleted /var/folders/* and restarted with a normal boot.
    Stopped Spotlight from indexing using mdutil. Re-enabled Spotlight and cleared the cache.
    Killed the SystemUIServer as described above.
    I have no idea what caused the problem in the first place, but the last one fixed it for me.

  • Outlook for Mac 2011 doesn't bounce dock icon for new message

    Under "Outlook Preferences -> Notifications & Sounds" I have the option selected "Bounce Outlook icon in Dock" for new messages. But the icon doesn't bounce when I get a new email. I'd really like for that to work - is this a known
    issue or a local config issue?

    Hi,
    Please first note that the option only applies when Outlook is not the active application. In addition, it appears that the icon bounces when you first select the Outlook application to open it. If you want the icon to bounce when new mail arrives
    you will need to create a rule for that.
    Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook for Windows, if above doesn't applies, I'd recommend you post a new question in the forum for Mac for further assistance:

  • Leopard Mail Not Showing # Unread Messages in Dock Icon

    For some inexplicable reason, my Leopard version of Mail has stopped showing unread message notifications. I still hear the mail ding, but there's no little red badge on the doc icon showing how many unread messages I have. And, yes, the "Dock unread count" is set to all mailboxes since I have multiple email accounts I check. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I fix it?
    Message was edited by: celticdreamz

    Jeff Greenberg's response was brilliant! Thanks Jeff.
    I have had 2 "unread mail" items showing up for weeks and have been agonizing over what and where they were, how important the "unread" mail was, and what life experiences, deals, etc., I was missing out on. Creating a Smart Mailbox showing Unread mail worked - one caveat however: Add a second condition - that the the Unread Mail be in your INBOX (forgetting to add this condition this showed me HUNDREDS of unread mail items that resided in my OTHER Smart Mailboxes).
    It worked. I found, read, and deleted my "unread mail" - Nothing important. Thanks again!

  • Bouncing dock icon for all new incoming messages?

    I set a rule to bounce my dock icon when new messages come in. I now have a 2nd account active, but the new messages for this acct. don't activate the bounce rule. How can I get them to do so?
    TIA,
    Nick D.

    How exactly is the rule used to bounce Mail in the Dock defined?
    Could it be that the messages from your second account are being processed by other rules?
