HT5361 my flagged mailbox shows 3 messages yet mail box is empty

My flagged mailbox says 3 messages yet mailbox is empty

Go to INBOX and click EDIT. Select Mark ALL. Then click FLAG, because this will flag all of your messages (even those embedded in the same SUBJECT in your messages). Then, click EDIT and click UNREAD. This will give you all of your messages with a double circle (indicating they are both unread and flagged). Then click EDIT and click UNFLAG. And Finally, click EDIT and click READ. This will address every email message you have and clear all the indicators. Then close this process and watch as the numbers (based on the email provider) reduce or dissappear.  Some providers like GMAIL take a minute or two, depending on the number of messages you have.
By doing so, I have answered my own question above.

    First empty the Trash and the Junk folders. Restart Mail. Then come back.

  • My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

    My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • Show Sent Messages in Mail thread (using gmail and imap)

    I'm trying to get my email set up so that I can use gmail imap and also have it show my sent emails within each thread. I can see it within "all mail" but not within my "inbox." Also, ever since I started screwing around with the settings my inbox now takes forever to upload mail or to register that I have read it on my laptop and when I send something from my iphone it shows up on my browser's gmail as "sent mail" which it never used to do. I'm just frustrated and would love for someone to tell me their settings if they're getting the thread view to work well and for a quick refresh! Thanks so much!!!!

    I have a similar problem where the threaded messages feature does not work for me unless I reply from my iPhone. If I login to gmail from my computer and reply from the web browser the message will not be in the thread.
    I just want my emails to be threaded just like they are in GMail in my web browser.

  • Server Admin only shows 201 messages in Mail Queue

    This issue has been haunting me since 10.5.0 and I can't seem to get rid of it. It's not crucial, but very obnoxious. In Server Admin (from multiple computers) the mail queue will only show a maximum of 201 messages. If there are more than that I have a cryptic "message" at the end of the list that has a message ID of "FFFFFFFFFFFF" and the Recipients Field has [...]
    I would love to be able to see all the messages in my queue if possible, but haven't found anywhere to fix this.
    Any help would be very appreciated.

    Thanks Alex. We aren't bouncing spam on our mail server, but I do notice that a lot of the mail is from MAILER-DAEMON. I'm assuming it's "User not Found" messages from hosts that don't really exist. I've tweaked the server using some suggestions from osx.topicdesk.com to clear some of those out, but it hasn't been 100% effective.
    I think part of the issue is that the server is a dual G4 Xserve and is scanning junk mail on all messages. I assume that those two factors contribute to the backup of mail in the queue.
    As for volume of mail, we receive 100k a month.

    I have one regular email account and one account that I use to collect text messages from friends with two-way pagers. I have checked all inboxes and they are empty. I have rebooted. I have deleted and recreated the account and when it reappears (the text account) it shows 3 messages but the inbox is empty.

  • Apple Mail shows duplicate message in Sent mailbox - HOW TO FIX IT?

    I have sent a message with Apple Mail 7.3 on Mac with OS X Mavericks 10.9.3, and it shows DUPLICATED in the Sent mailbox of Mail. I mean, two entries with the very same message inside are displayed, yet, as said, I only sent it once! I am using POP.
    Selecting "Mailbox - Rebuild", quitting and opening Mail, repairing permissions with Apple Disk Utility, restarting the Mac, and even resetting the PRAM does not fix it.
    I have seen the following article, but cannot find the "MessageSorting.plist" in Mavericks that it indicates:
    How to Fix Duplicate Emails Sent From Apple Email
    http://www.ehow.com/how_12135498_fix-duplicate-emails-sent-apple-email.html
    Any idea on how to prevent this duplication behavior (beyond deleting one of such messages, which, of course, I can do); I mean, to fixing whatever is corrupted and prevent such behavior happening again in the future?
    What is the equivalent of "MessageSorting.plist" in Mavericks to do what indicates the above article?
    Thanks.

    I have exactly the same problem. Didn't find a solution yet.

  • My mailbox shows that it's retrieving messages, but appears stuck!

    My server connections (via the connection doctor) were verified, outgoing e-mails can be sent, and the "Inbox" shows that the system is attempting to retrieve new mails, but the "Inbox" appears stuck. The "Activity Viewer" reads that it's "fetching 21 of 72 messages," yet the status bar shows no progress.
    Is this a Mail program problem? How can I "unclog" the program and allow incoming e-mails into the "Inbox?" Any help is most appreciated.
    John

    This is a POP account, right?
    Sometimes messages left on the server clog up the account there, or Mail chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. Solving this problem will probably require deleting one or more messages from the server. What are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings?
    You may tell Mail to remove from the server all the messages that have already been downloaded doing Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove now. Alternatively, you may use the Account Info window to remove specific messages from the server; to use that feature, choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window. And if the account allows web access, you may also remove messages from the server that way.
    Try first removing from the server messages that have already been downloaded. If that doesn’t work, you’ll probably have to delete the first message not downloaded yet. You may want to try to download those messages with another mail client such as Thunderbird first, to avoid losing them -- and use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import them back into Mail afterwards if you wish.

  • Mail will not show individual messages, has this been fixed yet??

    Greetings everyone,
    Finally downloaded Yosemite on my Mac, and had been warned about mail issues... but I did it anyway.  Now the mail app opens and all of my mailboxes are there, but it says "no message selected".  I see that I have new messages (from Gmail and also a Yahoo account), but am unable to access them.
    I can compose and send, but cannot see what I sent after I hit "send" on the email.
    So very frustrating, was hoping there would be an update/fix by now....?!??  Searching for a fix has been just as frustrating, it seems that everyone is experiencing different types of bugs.
    Appreciate the help!

    I've seen this issue too a few times. And found a "solution". But first, describe the problem:
    Launching Mail, it will download new mail, but never shows any messages in any mailboxes.
    Try to close the mail Message Viewer or Quit the app, and it hangs with beachball.
    Force Quit and re-launch the Mail app and still can't see any messages.
    SOLUTION: Log out and back in again, and Mail behaves normally.
    After Force Quit, sent the crash log to Apple a few times ... so maybe they're working on it.
    If you have this same problem and have to Force Quit, try sending the crash log to Apple ... lots of these will get someone's attention.
    I'm guessing that some behind-the-scenes process (responsible for showing mail in mailboxes) is crashing or caught in a loop.
    Logging out/in restarts that process.
    But haven't had time to investigate further yet ...

  • OS X Mail not showing Archive mailbox (and lost Flagged mailbox)

    Recently I notice the Archive mailbox in Apple Mail has dissappeared. I can find messages in that mailbox using Searchlight if I know the exact contents of the message or subject but I use this mailbox to store application licenses, etc., and do not always know the right subject. I used to browse, knowing roughly the time when I bought the licese. Also the Flagged mailbox is grayed out in the favorites line and not shown in the left hand mailbox side bar.Also a pain because I set reminder messages and conference call emails with colored flags.
    Any help?

    Next to the On My Mac there is a hide function. Did you select it? If you go to the same place, see if there is a Show function.

    I used to be able to set it by folder. Removing the feature does not make the product better. I have no desire, for example, to see all the old spam, but I do want to see my old mail. I don't understand what the developers were thinking when they removed this capability.
