Email count/deleting email

I have deleted over 3000 emails from my iMac. The number at the bottom still shows the same number as if I had not deleted any files. Why is that?

Hello,
Make a new Smart Mailbox that only includes Unread Mails, do they show in that Smartbox?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

Palm Centro (Verizon and Goodlink) Wireless email sync deleted emails...

How do you set it up when I delete emails off of my Centro they delete also in Outlook on my computer. This is probably an ez fix that I just can't figure out. Thanks for the help.
Post relates to: Palm V

Who's your email provider? are you using IMAP, POP or EAS?

I am using Thunderbird 24.4.0 and it is very slow in loading emails and deleting emails. Did not have this problem till recently. Running Windows 7

With in the last 3 days my emails have been very slow to open and it takes about 20 secs. to delete an email.
At times I see the message that Thunderbird is not responding. I am using Windows 7 and Bitdefender AV.
I closed the firewall on the AV and this did not change anything. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Disable Bitdefender's option to scan mail folders and see if the performance improves.

"sent" mail doesn't show up, missing reply emails, sudden "deleted" emails

I have been hving some problems with Mail recently, three issues have become major Pains in the ***:
1. Just about every 3 or 4 emails that I send from my .mac account seem to go through but a copy or receipt of them don't show up in the "sent" mail folder/area.
2. If I reply to an email in my in box, it will show the little "you replied to this email arrow icon" but when I click on the arrow, it will say that the message "has been deleted or missing"
3. Lastly every 3-4 emails - As I am writing the note a window will pop up and say that the "email cannot be saved" but allows me to click "OK" and then continue typing the note and will sent it just fine.
Is there a master reset on Mail or can I reinstall just the Mail program ? ( i really don't want to do that) I ran disk utility and my drive seems to be fine, the permissions are good.
any help would be great.
thanks.

I'm having the same problem, although it is not with a .mac account, it is with IMAP accounts, which to the best of my knowledge is the server type used by .mac.
The weird part about all of this is that I use several e-mail accounts on my computer... one of them is a POP3, the rest are IMAP. Historically every message I've sent, regardless of the account, has been stored in the Sent folder, now only mail being sent from the POP3 account is being stored.
After unchecking the feature to store sent mail on the server for one of the IMAP accounts and sending a test message from IMAP address to POP3 address everything seemed to be working fine.... but I don't like that I had to do that. One of the reasons I use IMAP is so that I don't have to worry about what e-mails are stored where, because I use multiple computers.... but once I start telling my portable Macbook to no longer store outgoing messages on the server.... that could become a problem for me.
I've tried rebuilding the mailboxes several times to no avail. (Although I'm not entirely sure what rebuild does, I thought it'd be worth a shot)
And yes, my network card settings are just fine.
It might be worth noting that I've done a substantial amount of software updates over the past few days, and if I knew how to get you a list of those, I would.

Retrieving deleted email, retrieving deleted email

Earlier today I inadvertently deleted an email from my trash folder I meant to keep. Is it still lurking somewhere in the computer and, if so, how do I find it and put it back in the inbox? Thank you.

If you have backups, just restore the message from your backups.
If you don't have backups, then it won't be easy, and maybe won't be possible at all. See Recovering deleted files. Mail messages have strange, numeric names that end in .emlx, so expect the message you deleted to be a bit hard to find.

Email transfer deleted emails on Thunderbird

I am not extremely technical, but I have recently transferred over my email hosting from one hosting company to another, I know how to do the domain pointing, DNS and email IMAP/POP3 settings etc. and for some reason when transferred, all of my emails and sent items disappeared, but any email I've received/sent since the transfer, is there. I have transferred emails and changed the settings seamlessly plenty of times on Outlook and never had this problem, this is the first time I've used Mozilla Thunderbird, does anyone know why this is doing it? Thank you

Yes they are and unfortunately not, although the account is still open with them it's just the emails have changed hosting providers, my idea was that we point the servers and settings back to the old account and see if we can get access to the emails that way, but is there any easier way then this?

I have a new Mac Book Pro, and just like my last Mac, I somemtimes cannot open emails, or delete emails, w/Firefox. Plus the browser along with the Hotmail Browser is very slow. At first I thought it was the old Mac. But not so. Ideas?

To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit.

Cannot delete email - iPhone freezing up

Periodically I can't delete email from my iPhone. The email app locks up for a minute or so after attempting to delete some of the emails and then just goes back to the main screen. When I go back into my email the deleted emails have reappeared.

Have you tried basics from the manual?
Restart.
Reset.

Counting inbound emails (including those automatically deleted using ERMS)

Hi all,
I have a requirement to be able to count all inbound emails in SAP CRM (5.0). This includes all emails that have been automatically deleted using ERMS after the creation of an Interaction Record and Service Ticket. Can anyone think of an easy way of doing this in SAP CRM? The Email Workbench and Agent Inbox do not display deleted email Workitems. The best option that I have been able to come up with is to export the Workitem Selection Report from transaction SWI1 into a spreadsheet and filter column Workitem ID for unique entries. Does anyone know of a better way of achieving this?
Thanks,
Onkar.

By using POP3, mail is automatically deleted from the server once downloaded by the client without further user intervention (granted, not immediately due to BTYahoos recent non-standard implementation of the POP3 protocol). By contrast, the whole point of IMAP is that mail is left on the server to be available to multiple devices and requires user intervention to delete. Why would a system which is designed to be used for leaving mail on a server be recommmended to someone who wished it to be deleted? If you wish to be pedantic, I agree the OP didn't ask for mail to be automatically deleted, but then nor did he specify immediate deletion either. I interpreted the request as the former, you the latter. Perhaps if we understood the underlying reason why he wished the mail to be deleted in the first place it would help in providing a solution.
There seems to be a recurring theme on this forum to promote IMAP as a universal panacea to overcome all mail problems which is diverting attention away from fixing BTYahoo's broken POP3 servers which have to my knowledge at least 4 problems. Two are deliberate by BTYahoo, lack of secure login and moving read items to the Trash folder temporarily before deletion. Two are faults which they seem either unable or reluctant to fix, intermittant authentication problems and inabilty to download even modest sized attachments on a slow connection.
Correction, he did ask them to be deleted automatically.

IPad unread email count doesn't tally with Microsoft Exchange 2007 email count from OWA.

I discovered that when we first setup the iPad to sync email from Microsoft Exchange 2007 server via ActiveSync, the total number of unread email count tally with the count from OWA. After a few days, the unread email count will be out of sync. The settings for iPad "Mail days to syn": No limit. Mail to show: 1000. iPad iOS: 5.1.1
We performed the following:
1.     Compare email by email to verify which are the read email from OWA doesn't sync to iPad. We discovered that some emails read from OWA doesn't sync with iPad even performed forced update. However, if we delete that read email from OWA, it will delete (unread) from iPad immediately after sync.
2.     Email recall message for successful recalled displayed in OWA but not on iPad.
3.     Calendar invite message forward as email displayed in OWA but not in iPad.
Is there a bug for Microsoft Exchange 2007 or there is limitation for iPad?
Any kind expert can advice?
Thanks.

Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
No.
If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

Email count not displaying in iOS 8.0.2

So immediately after upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 my email count stopped showing up on the screens icon. I've tried restarting and deleting my email accounts and adding them back and nothing changes. Anyone else experiencing this?

I recently upgraded Mountain Lion to Mavericks. Until now it's been disappointing. I read about these so-called syncing features too late.
See How to locally sync an iPhone with OS X Mavericks? iCloud is NOT an option.

Z10 Deleted Email not syncing to Gmail

My Z10 syncs email from Gmail, but does not sync DELETED email back to Gmail. What changes need to be made. Please help. Thanks.

Hi and Welcome to the Community! First off, please check your account/hub settings for "Delete On", and make sure it is NOT set to "Hub Only". If that is set, then change it to either Prompt or Hub and Server. If that does not do it, then please with a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRTKB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless networkPlease wait for one "registration" message to appear2) RebootPre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your configurations for the affected email accounts.
Good luck!

Unread email count wrong on my IPad

The Unread email count is wrong on my IPad. I have read other threads about this issue but they all seem to point to Macs. I did just update to IOS 6 last Monday(5 days ago)

I deleted the account and reinstalled it and the count is now correct.

Unread Email Count wrong for all eternity?

I've read a number of threads where people had the same problem but I've never seen a solution. My unread email count on my Yahoo mail is stuck at 5 (+ whatever unread emails I really have.)
I've:
--Double-checked all folders. There are no unread emails I'm missing
--Marked all emails as read in Yahoo just in case
--Deleted and re-added my Yahoo mail account on my phone
--Turned off and on, and done a hard reset on my phone
--Prayed, sang voodoo chants, and yelled at the thing
The false unread emails mock me. It's a minor annoyance but it bugs me because everything else just works so well that it sticks out.
Anyone have the same problem and solve it? Please?!
Thanks, Jeff

Try doublclicking on the home button, find Yahoo icon, hold till wiggles, press red sign and close it... then reopen Yahoo and see if the issue is still there.
It may work, but it is a very long shot.

New email count stuck

I recently updated to Lion and since then, the new mail count of one of my email addresses in mail is stuck on 17 new emails. New emails come in, I see them, read them, delete them, and it still says 17. There are no hidden unread emails. I have even removed the problematic address and re-installed it. Same issue. The 4 other addresses are fine. I didn't realize how much I relied on that count throughout the day! Hoping someone can help.

If deleting the email accounts and setting them back up again as allan suggested does not work, there might be an issue with the software on the iphone.
You might want to try the reset and/or restore if necessary.
If you do reset or restore here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

Hope this helps.
