HoHow do I empty the mail "sent" box of "unread" emails -  when it's already empty?

My email account (apple mail) says I have 230 unread emails in my sent folder.  That folder was emptied by me just now.  I don't see any messages to either open or to delete.  What do I do to get rid of this message?

I Meant to write - as part of my question - that I'm using an apple mini-pad.  Not a MacBook pro or other as stated above.

  • Why dos my sent box show 140  emails when I have none?

    My iPhone 5 seems to be having an issue with phantom mails, but unlike most of the questions across the forum, this relates to an empty sent box showing 211 emails (but it appears that there are none, and I have deleted all my previously sent messages).
    Anyone?

    My computer does this too. It also has made my Sent Button disappear and refers me to a "send later" solution. which is do not get or have. Shake the tree, maybe a nut will fall. Crack the nut and there you will find the Chinese answer!

  • When I send a message using hotmail.co.uk, it does not appear in my Mac Mail sent box. How do I rectify this?

    I am using Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.2) on my MacBook (mid-2009); Mail version 6.1 (1498).
    My incoming mail server is pop3.live.com (Hotmail).
    When I send an email on the Hotmail website, it does not register in my Mac Mail sent box.
    How do I rectify this?
    Many thanks for your help in advance.

    You have to send it from the Mail program on the Mac not the website. When you send it from the website it is in the sent folder on the website.
    I handle all my mail in the Mac Mail program never the website.

  • Image sent with photo app does not show on mail sent box. How do I find it?

    My daughter sent a photo from the photo album on her itouch. I search it in her mail sent box, but I cannot find it. Any idea how to find it?
    Thanks

    Are you looking into the right mail account on the iPod? If yo send an item like a photo from an app it gets sent from the default account on the iPod.
    Did the recipient get the mail message? Maybe it was never sent.

    You can check the form history settings.
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
    The website may be using autocomplete=off in that field to prevent Firefox from saving and filling that data.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save form data.

  • How can I increase the width of the 'mail composer' box and put the attachment box (at present on the right) below it?

    The width of the 'mail composer' box is too narrow so that with my email program half the buttons are missing.
    == All the time

    Thanks for your swift response.
    I understand the difference between the web browser and email program.
    I have just started using Firefox from IE and IE displayed the new mail page full width.
    Firefox displays the reading web page full width but not the compose mail page because of the layout with the attachment box to the right of the box where you write your mail.
    I was hoping that there was a way to customise and change the layout.
    Is that possible?

  • TS3899 My mail account shows 1340 unread emails, yet the inbox is empty with no subfolders.

    My "Mail" app shows that I have 1340 unread emails in red.  When I go to the inbox, it says 1340 unread emails, yet there is none in the inbox.  I have checked my mail provider adn there is no emails there either. 

    First if you have multiple inboxes please make sure that you're looking at the all inboxes category. If this is correct then try removing the account and adding it back. If no joy
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • My mothers mac the safari dosent work right the mail the mail wont open up certain emails saying the plugin is blocked etc

    my mothers mac the safari dosent work right the mail the mail wont open up certain emails saying the plugin is blocked etc

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open Mail or Safari.

  • Can I open the Mail app without configuration an email address?

    I'm trying to open a .eml file, which seems possible in the Mail app.  However, I can't open the Mail app without configuration an email account.  I don't have an email account to configure; just want to open the file.  Or, let's suppose, I just wanted to browse the interface?  How to avoid the account setup part?

    Just enter anything short & plausible in as few fields as you can get away with : '[email protected]' works here, you'll get a brief 'not responding' or such at each stage, but it does allow you to use Mail.

  • Can I buy an iTunes voucher and get the code sent straight to my email?

    Can I buy an iTunes voucher and get the code sent straight to my email?

    If the iTunes Store sells gift certificates in your country, yes, but you'll need to provide a credit card issued in that country to make the purchase.
    Regards.

  • I am unable to purchase anything because " I do not have the correct privelages".But when I check in properties and the security tab, everything seem to be checked. Also the read only box is checked and when I uncheck it seems ok but it has not unchecked

  • TS4083 Is that behavior has changed along ios8 ? Or still you need to launch mail app to update unread emails ?

    Is that behavior has changed along ios8 ? Or still you need to launch mail app to update unread emails ?

    I've found out that this is by design.
    Email Application offer push-notification, but read action is not populated to the Cloud.
    So Mail app needed to be opened manually each time you want to refresh it status ...
    That is not a good information...
    As far as I remember, google had that work quite long ago properly (of course on iOS and inside Mail.app)

  • The Mail "draft" box

    When I send e-mails, especially with an attachment, it shows up in the drafts box after it is sent (in the sent box) and I have to manually delete it later. Is this typical. Does it truly mean that it didn't get sent? Please, do tell!
    Thanks!

    Could you please elaborate a bit. You say there is a drafts box INSIDE the sent box?
    Usually while you are composing a mail, it saves itself in the draft and then when you hit the send button it goes out of the draft box and goes to the sent box.
    I do not show a drafts box in sent box but the draft box is at the top level just after the outbox. Do you have more than one draft box? if not, drag out the draft box from the sent box and place it at the outbox level.
