How to reset junk mailbox message count?

Apologies if this is resolved elsewhere, but I can't find it. For the past several months I have received several "ghost" spams per day. (There is nothing in the sender, message header, or body.) The mail filter does not catch them. I wrote a rule (based on a suggestion in this forum) where if "from" does not contain "@" it is sent to junk. It seems to work fine. Since about then - and I'm not sure if the events are simultaneous - my junk mailbox won't reset its count of messages. I have erased all messages in it and SOME are erased, with the count being reduced by 3-4. The total shown next to the mailbox icon continues to grow, however. It is now around 50. There appear to be no messages in the mailbox. This began before I upgraded to Tiger and has continued since then. Mail seems to work fine, but it is very irritating. Thanks for your help.

Hello Michael.
Assuming this junk mailbox is for a POP type account, quit Mail first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > Junk.mbox.
Delete the Junk.mbox folder and empty the Trash.
When re-launching Mail, a new Junk.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder when receiving the next message that is automatically or manually marked as junk.

How to empty junk mailbox?

When I empty junk mail individually using delete or the bar icon, Entourage quits. How can I empty the junk mailbox in one swell foop?
Thanks,

Hi erinsheff
You'll probably be better off posting this on a Microsoft board such as http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage
Good luck.

I used to be able to see my total message count next to the inbox (not only unread mes) How do I get it back? If it is an add-on, does anybody know what it is called?

I think this add on is what you are looking for.

How to reset junk rules and restart training?

My junk mail system has evidently developed a problem -- won't remember things that should be learned, and so on. How do I reset the junk rules and restart the training process? I think I've read somewhere that there's a file that has to be trashed, but I can't locate a likely candidate.
Thanks,
Steve.

The thing is, what Roger suggested doesn’t reset the junk filter. It just resets the database that stores what the junk filter learns through training, which may accomplish what you want, but is not what you asked.
To fully reset the junk filter, you must proceed as follows:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t touch anything there unless you really know what you’re doing.
3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).
4. You may also want to open Window > Previous Recipients and get rid of any addresses that you don’t want Mail to treat as legit.

Smart Mailbox Message Counter

Is it possible to have a Smart mailbox in the Mailbox pane on the left side of the Mail window show the number of messages in the Smart Mailbox and not just the number of unread messages? What would be most desirable is a indication like "3/7" where the 3 indicates 3 unread messages and 7 indicates the number of all message read and unread.
Thank you in advance.

I guess there is no answer. I will post this as an enhancement request with Apple.

How to see users mailbox messages

I need to see messages in the users mailbox in order to delete or block some of them. There are some command to do this? because I don�t want to go directory by directory in the store to see the messages.
For example in a messaging system with just sendmail I can see inside all mailboxes as root.

Sendmail doesn't truly have a "mail store", only mailbox files. You can edit those, true.
Messaging Server has a much more sophisticated "mail store". While you can also examine the files there, as text files, that's kind of un-handy.
Messaging Server does, however, provide the "proxyauth" extension to IMAP and HTTP mail access. Easiest for an admin to use is the HTTP version.
First, look at output from running
configutil -o store.admins
this gives you the "proxyauthuser". You assigned that and the password on installation, unless you've changed it.
Second, make sure that proxyauth is turned on in webmail with
configutil -o service.http.allowadminproxy
If it comes back, "no", "0" or "off", you will need to turn it on:
configutil -o service.http.allowadminproxy -v yes
and restart the http process:
stop-msg http; start-msg http
Now, you can construct a browser url like this:
http://dp-design.com/login.msc?user=proxuauthuser&password=password&fmt-out=text/html&proxyauth=user_to_be_checked

Verizon messaging shows incorrect message count

I have installed the Verizon messaging app on my iPhone 6+ (iOS 8.2). The app continually shows a base message count of 13 messages even after I delete all messages both in the app or through the web interface. How can I zero the message count on the app?

borg_cube, I know that can be frustrating and annoying at the same time. I can help get this resolved for you. Occasionally, the message waiting indicator may be out of sync with your mailbox. In that case, the indicator light or tone is ON but there are no messages waiting, or the indicator light or tone is OFF when there are new messages waiting. To get the message indicator back in sync 1. Save or delete all new messages 2. Hang up. 3. If the message indicator does not go out or stop within a few minutes, there may be a problem, and you should contact Verizon. 4. If the message indicator does go out or stop, call your own number and leave a message 5. Hang up and wait 6. If the indicator light or tone does not come on within a few minutes, please let us know.

Unread message count is wrong in Mail and Dock

Just last week I noticed that both my Email Inbox & Mail Dock Icon is showing an incorrect unread message count on both my MacBook & iMac. I am using a Microsoft Exchange Hosted account (Office 365) and it is the only email account tied to both of my Macs. My iPhone shows the correct unread message count as well as Outlook Web Access, and on a seperate windows-based computer, Outlook is showing the correct unread message count of 3. Both Mac systems are using OS X 10.7.3 and I have never experienced this issue before.
The MacBook is showing 39 unread messages, and the iMac is showing 16, in actuality there are 3 unread messages. If I create a smart mailbox that shows only unread messages - it shows up with the correct number (3), when I sort by "Unread Messages" for Inbox, it only shows that I have three unread messages.
I have rebuilt the inbox, I have deleted the email account from the computer, restarted the computer and then readded it, all it did was bring the unread message count from 19 to 16 on my iMac (still - it should be 3).
I have also gone to Mail -> Preferences -> General and verified that Show Dock Unread County is set to "Inbox" but oddly enough, when I click "All Mailboxes" the unread count on the Dock changes to 3.
Is there a file I can delete to reset that unread message count? I feel like I've done everything that's suggested to no avail.
Thanks!

There is a small glitch, and you guys are close.
In Mail Preferences under General, there is the option for:
Dock Unread Count --
Your choices in the dropdown are either:
None
Inbox Only
All Boxes
The problem is that I've often seen the Inbox Only is checkmarked, and stays as checkmarked, even when you last told it to use either None or All Boxes.
It is possible that Alconic see's Inboxes Only checkmarked, when in fact it's All mailboxes that are set to be showing.
Try to re-check "Inbox only" even though it's already checked and see what happens...

Unread messages count is wont for Smart Mailbox

Has anyone else noticed that a smart mailbox has a non-zero unread message count but as soon as it is clicked on the count is reset to zero? Zero is correct because all of the messages have been read. I've tried rebuilding the inbox but it hasn't helped. I also recreated the smart mailbox but that didn't help either. Sounds like a bug to me but I wonder if others have experienced it. I am using Mail Tags so that is a possible complication.

Same problem here with Yahoo mail. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have looked at Yahoo mail from all folders in my phone (running 7.0.3 now), as well as in a browser, looked at Inbox (empty), all Trash, Sent, etc. folders and they're completely empty on Yahoo servers.
I thought that 7.0.3 had initially cleared up this issue but it has reappeared, and I don't know how to fix it.

Mailbox behaviors: Erase messages in the junk mailbox

For each of my POP accounts, I have the Mailbox behaviors setting for junk mail set to "erase messages in the junk mailbox when one day old." This works fine for any mail which the mail filter catches and sends to the junk mailbox. However, many junk e-mails are not caught, so I click on the "Junk" button, to designate those e-mails as junk. At that time, they automatically move to the Junk mailbox. But within the junk mailbox are sub-boxes for each of my POP accounts, and another sub-box called "On my Mac." That's where the e-mails end up that I mark as junk, and they remain there forever. How do I tell Mail to automatically erase that junk mail after one day (or on whatever schedule I desire)?
iMac PowerMac 6,1 CPU: PowerPC G4 (3.3) Mac OS X (10.4.8) Mail v2.1
466 MHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Well, the Mailbox Behaviors settings are specific for each account, and the On My Mac Junk mailbox isn’t associated with any mail account, so there appears to be no way to specify such setting for that particular mailbox.
The thing is, the whole situation you’re describing doesn’t really make sense. If those messages end up in the On My Mac Junk mailbox, that means you’re manually marking them as junk after they’ve been moved to a custom “On My Mac” mailbox, which makes me believe what’s really happening here is not that many messages aren’t caught by the junk filter. What appears to be happening is that you have custom rules that prevent the junk filter from being able to catch them...

My Hotmail is marking certain messages as Junk; these messages do not appear in my Mac Mail Junk folder. How can I rectify this?

I am using Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.2) on my MacBook (mid-2009); Mail version 6.1 (1498).
My Junk Mail permissions are as follows:
- Enable junk mail filering
- When junk mail arrives: Move it to the Junk mailbox
- The following types of messages are exempt from junk mail filtering: Sender of messafe is in my Contacts and my Previous Recipients, Message is addressed using my full name
- Trust junk mail headers in messages
My junk messages are never automatically deleted
My incoming mail server is pop3.live.com
I do not know where to find the junk mail settings on the hotmail website.
How do I make sure I'm not missing reading my junk when I use Mac Mail?
Many thanks for your help in advance.

Part of training the junk filter is also to mark good messages 'As Not Junk'.

How does one perform mailbox to mailbox moving of email messages w/ Messaging 3.X?

How does one perform mailbox to mailbox moving of email messages with Messaging 3.X?

In an ISP environment there are times that a user changes his
login name (his unique identifier in the ISP's network, also used as
his email address) from one value to another. It is very convenient
for the ISP to be able to move messages from the user's old mailbox
to the user's new mailbox when this situation occurs.

With Messaging Server 2.0, this was easily accomplished by simply
moving the mail messages on disk. However, with the added complexity
of Messaging 3.0 where there are back links, reference counts, etc.,
associated with mail messages, moving files on disk from one mailbox
to another is no longer valid.

The MoveUser utility, which is new in MS 3.X, moves messages from
one messaging server to another or from one maildrop path to another.
Can this utility be used to move messages from one mailbox to another?

The answer is yes, it can. The user should be aware that if
duplicate email message id's exist in the mailbox before the
move, the messages related to the duplicate message id's will
be duplicated in the target mailbox.

See the online documentation contained with the product or the
Messaging 3.X Administrator's Guide for exact syntax.

Hi
If I understand you correctly and if you are using Apple Mail version 2.0 or above navigate to /Users/Home folder. The Home folder is the one with the house icon, within that folder you will see a Library folder, within that folder you’ll see a Mail folder, within that folder you’ll see a folder that begins with POP followed by your name, within that folder will be a folder called INBOX.mbox, within that folder is a Messages folder. All the mail that you see within the application are there. They will be numbered and have a file suffix of .emlx. You can move these wherever you like.
If you are using Entourage X, or Entourage 2004 you can easily multiple select mail messages, addresses etc from within the application and drag whatever you’ve selected to wherever you like.

Mail -- How to show a Junk mailbox in a POP account

How to show a Junk mailbox in a POP account
I have two POP accounts on my iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1. The two accounts are identical except for the user name and of course the email address. In one account I have a Junk folder to which incoming messages can be moved. In the other account I have no such mailbox and can't for the life of me figure out how to show one.
The steps to show one should (I think) be as follows, which works in the 'cooperative' account, and also on a second iPhone 5s:
1) Open Mail.app.
2) Heading: Mailboxes. Tap 'Edit'.
3) Scroll down and tap 'Add Mailbox..'
4) Tap account name.
5) Tap 'Junk' (checks item).
6) Tap Done, Done, Done (Junk mailbox appears in Mailbox list, and incoming messages can be moved there.)
The problem in the uncooperative account is that at Step 5, there is no Junk item to check. There are only Sent and Trash. (In the other account there are Drafts, Sent, Junk, Trash).
Solutions or suggestions welcome.

Hopefully the screenshot will show.
