Email inbox showing (a mysterious) ONE unread

And yet I can find NO unread messages!
Clicking on all the little triangles (HOW does one get RID of those darned triangles anyway!?) .
Does anyone know HOW to get the inbox to show without the little red circle on the stamp at the bottom of the screen?
Even when I sort to 'show unread' ... nothing 'unread' or 'new' shows up!
Thanks!!!!!

THANK YOU! (How odd ... it was an OLD message from February ... and had never shown up before!)
That's ... uh... weird.
Anyway, that darned red indicator on the MacMail stamp is gone.
I REALLY appreciate your help here!!!!
And the 'little triangles' are not the ones in the extra mail boxes ... but the (sigh) 'new and improved' Mac Mail triangles, indicating a thread.
I would LIKE to get rid of those and just have to use my (gasp) brain to remember the conversation(s).
Any ideas on how to do that?
Thanks again
Lee

My email box shows I have 4100 unread messages I don't know why it has done this. How do I get it off there?

My email shows that I have over 4,000 unread messages don't know why or where it came from. I don't have any unread. How do I get that off there?

I suspect in this case the problem is caused by your library and device having downloaded independent copies of the media, so that when the library connects to the device it copies over your purchases not realizing they are already in the library.
When deduping use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

Why doesn't my email inbox show more than 6 recent emails?

Please help me with the above question.

What sort of email service do you use (IMAP or POP)? If POP, are the messages you are expecting still on the server?

My iCloud email account is showing one unread email on my iPad but there are no unread emails

My iCloud iPhone email indicates one unread email but none there.

For some reason, after upgrading to IOS6, my icloud email acount (inbox) indicates I have one unread email. But there are no such messages in my inbox. My MBP shows the same emails but does NOT indicate any unread messages. How do I get rid of the indication on my iphone. The iPhone is a 4S.

Try resetting the iPhone by pressing and holding the home and power buttons simultaneously until you see the apple appear. Many times this will clear whatever is causing the badge to hang.

TS3276 I have two email accounts set up on Mail. One shows the unread messages and the other one doesn't... how can I get it to show both account's unread messages?

I have two email accounts set up on my Mail application. Both pull in and send just fine but ever since I upgrade the exchange sever and re-setup the account It won't show the unread (number) to the right of the inbox? The other one shows up just fine. Any clues would be great! Thank you.

Inbox shows one message unread. I cannot find that message.

I whittled down all unread emails only to find that one message is listed as unread. I cannot find it, despite having gone through all messages back to early 2013.

Why Outlook email messages show unreadable characters

When you receive a new email in Outlook, you may see unreadable characters in the email message body. This issue could be caused by one of the following reasons on Outlook client side:
The email you received is converted to plain text format or a different encoding by a virus scanner.
This always happens when you are using characters (Such as apostrophes, double quotes, dashes, and ellipsis) supported by the "Smart Quotes" feature. When the email you received is converted to plain text format or a different encoding by a virus
scanner, the character is converted from the ASCII character to a Unicode character, which is not supported on the recipient’s side.
To prevent this issue from happening, we can turn off the “Smart Quotes” Feature in Outlook:
1. Open Outlook 2013.
2. Click File > Options > Mail.
3. Click Spelling and AutoCorrect button.
4. In the Editor Options window, click AutoCorrect Options button to open the AutoCorrect dialog.
5. Click AutoFormat tab, and then clear the check box before “Straight quotes” with “smart quotes” under Replace heading.
6. Click OK.
The issue may be related to font substitution when a change is made to the Web Options in Microsoft Word.
If a change is made to the Web Options in Microsoft Word, registry data under the following key may be configured incorrectly:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Internet\Fonts
This problem has been seen to occur when the Latin string value under the \Fonts key was empty (no value).
We can check the Web Options setting in Word via:
1. Start Word.
2. Go to File > Options > Advanced.
3. Scroll down to the General section, click Web Options button.
4. Switch to Font tab.
To resolve the problem, we need to delete the \Fonts registry key. To do this, please follow:
1. Exit Word.
2. Press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type regedit and press Enter.
3. Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Internet\Fonts
4. Right-click the Font key and select Delete.
5. Click Yes and exit Registry Editor.
The sender used an e-mail program that did not mark messages with a language encoding (character set), or marked messages with an incorrect encoding setting.
In this case, we will see unreadable characters when we open the received message in our Outlook. For example, European regional characters (like German) require UTF-8 encoding protocol. So if the encoding in your environment is set to ASCII, the regional
characters will not be available.
To resolve this issue, we need to change the encoding in Outlook to which will display your message correctly.
1. Double-click to open the message you received.
2. Click Actions button in the Move group under Message tab.
3. Click Other Actions > Encoding.
4. Click More and select the correct encoding setting for the email.
5. After you finish reading the message, close the message, and click Yes button to save changes to the message.
When we send an email with Outlook, we can set Outlook to automatically select encoding for outgoing email messages to increase the possibility that the recipient receiving the message will see all the characters rendered properly, even if they run older
e-mail programs. By default, Outlook 2013 will automatically select an optimal encoding for outgoing e-mail messages. We can change the settings here in Outlook 2013: File > Options > Advanced > International Options section.
Something you may need to know when you set the encoding settings:
* The Unicode (UTF-8) character enables the complete range of characters on all computers. It’s the official IANA code for the UTF-8 character encoding.
* Western European (ISO) and Western European (Windows) character set can be read by almost all computers.
* If you are using a language other than English, you must choose the correct character set for that language, or the characters you need will not be displayed correctly.

The "problem" is not really a problem. I send and receive emails fine. But the in the panel between the Inbox (message queue) and the reading pane this is displayed:

This glitch is not really bothersome, I just can't imagine why it happens.

Thanks

If that doesn't work, and you by chance have at least one gmail account, you might actually have unread emails in a folder other than the Inbox.

Deleted emails still shows in my inbox

My inbox still shows unread emails eventhough i have deleted it. And my inbox is empty and there are no emails.

Mylan,
If you aren't, you will need to change your phone to use the IMAP protocol, as Allan mentioned, to get what you want... If you are switching protocols from POP to IMAP, you might have to manually clean out your phone inbox, before it starts working.
However, the original problem I mentioned where the inbox is not updated EVEN using IMAP still exists and has only existed since the last iOS update... To restate: emails in the inbox on the phone still show up even after Outlook on the PC has removed them from the mail server. This is proven by looking at the mail server using the web interface to ensure the emails really are not in the in box.
However, I have noticed one thing. The email list on the phone will update as soon as a new email shows up in the inbox.
That is, there are emails in the inbox and the phone shows them. The emails are removed from the inbox using Outlook or web interface. The emails still show on the phone even though it says "updated now". Pulling down on the inbox making it refresh several times does nothing. Then a new email arrives in the inbox and the phone updates properly showing only the new email.
Additionally, going to the email account settings on the iPhone, turning some things off and on, and then going back to the inbox will also cause it to finally correctly refresh.

Outgoing email address shows correct BUT sends with wrong one.

I have seen a couple other folks who describe this better.
Good example is == if i am on a web page in safari and hit the little arrow to email the page to a friend.
I type in their email address and NOTE THAT THE PROPER EMAIL, MY DEFAULT EMAIL IS SHOWING RIGHT THERE IN THE LITTLE FROM BOX.
I can even check that sure enough there is a list of my five email addresses...three gmails. and an icloud .me one. BUT the proper one is checked.
So looks fine.
I hit send.
When they get it it show was sent from wrong address
Seems to vary as to where exactly I am sitting ...that is which mail box level? I am in.....yuou know that list on the left of all your mail boxes
..smart ones, gmail ones/ //folders...never have really understood what those are exactly....trash ,,,,,sent ,,,,etc
about to give up.

Have you checked Mail/Preferences/Composing/Send New E-mails from to see what is set there?
Mail/Preferences/Accounts - make sure the outgoing server is set to match the e-mail address. You can also check use only this server.
Also try dragging the mailbox you want to be the default send address to the top of the mailboxes list under Inbox.

IPhone 4S Mail All Inboxes shows 4,294,967,289 unread mail messages

1. On my iPhone 4S in the Mail app, if I go into the Mailboxes and look at my Inboxes it shows 4,294,967,289 mail messages (see screen shot). This number is clearly incorrect, as I don't have any unread emails, and my accounts don't have anywhere near this number of emails. Of course my mail icon on the home screen doesn't show anything because the number is (incorrectly) too large.
2. On my iPad 2 in the Mail app (with the same iCloud and gmail accounts all synced up), if I go into the Mailboxes and look at my Inboxes it shows no unread mail messages, which is correct. If I get a new message, then it will show the number of unread messages accurately (1 or 2 or whatever).
Has anyone seen this problem? I deleted all my mail accounts in the iPhone and added them back again, but that did not correct the problem. I am up to date on all software as well.
Thanks for the help.

The number 4,294,967,290 corresponds to negative 6 in base 32.
It's a bug with the way gmail is reporting unread messages, or the way your iPhone is counting them. A restore should fix it.
Short of restoring your iPhone try this: Make sure you have read all your messages and the unread message count remains 4,294,967,290. Then, send six messages to your gmail account. Do not open them.
If that resets your "unread mail" count to zero then never open those six messages

Email Widget Shows Unread Mail When There is None

Title says it all. My email widget shows I have 'X' number of unread emails when in fact I have zero unread emails. Suggestions?

The "inbox" on the phone is blank, and refreshing the email accounts doesn't make any messages appear. I go back to my home screen and ... the widget says I have 'X' unread emails. Open the email widget again, inbox is blank, refresh - nothing new, return to home screen and the widget still says I have 'X' unread emails.

Oicnnot delete emails that show up in my inbox. The email says this message has no content with a date of 12/31/00. The emails keep multiplying in my inbox

I cannot delete emails that show up in my inbox. The email says this message has no content with a date of 12/31/00

I have this problem too.
The entire email says
((No Sender)
(No Subject)
This message has no content
Two are dated 12/31/69
and one came in today at 8:34pm (This last one has a "2" next to it which may indicate there are two of them?)
There is no trash icon on the screen and there doesn't appear to be ny way to delete them.
How do I delete them?
