Incorrect number of emails displayed

Hello,
I've found that when I open Mail, the amount of emails displayed in the title bar is vastly inaccurate. It varies from telling me I have billions of emails to saying I have hundreds and in reality that figure is nowhere near being right.
Does anyone know how to fix this? It still happens if I quit and restart Mail (although not always every time)
Thanks
Steph

It sounds like Mail's Envelope Index file is confused or corrupted. You can try to fix that by quitting Mail, then going to Users/(your username>/Library/Mail and moving the Envelope Index file to your Desktop, but do not delete it.
Launch Mail and import your messages, which will rebuild a new Envelope Index, which should have the correct numbers.

TS3899 How do you change the number of emails displayed on ios7?

Since I have upgraded my phone to ios7 my phone doesn't display as many emails as it used to. How do I change the settings so that my phone retains more messages?

You cannot change that, it is not user programmable. That is handled by your carrier, and it is not based on the number of rings, it is based on time. Call your carrier and see if they can extend the time for you. They may not be able to do this.

Has anyone figured out how to limit the number of emails displayed in the mail app?

There used to be a setting in Mail, Calendar, Contacts that would let you set the number, starting with 50 emails. I can't find this setting in iOS 7.

I do not know why one cannot use an artboard
in Illustrator it looks like this
In Photoshop it looks like this
As far as I can determine it has cropped the area properly as before, please explain what is missing?

How do I limit the number of emails displayed in iOS 7?

I prefer to display only 100 emails from each of my mailboxes on my apple devices, but with iOS 7 it's showing all my emails, and there doesn't seem to be an option to limit this in settings as there was previously?

You need to delete your current hotmail account set up on your iphone.
Once this has done click 'Add Account' and select the new 'outlook.com' tab.
Set up your hotmail account again from scratch and this will then allow you to select how many weeks/months of emails you sync to your phone.
Im not sure if anyone else had a similar problem to me prior to iOS 7, but if i deleted an email from my hotmail account on my iphone - it wouldnt sync with my actual hotmail account. So when i logged in online all the emails I had deleted on my phone would still be showing as unread.
But by setting the account up as above, they now sync perfectly.
Well for me anyway

I want to limit the number of emails displayed and kept on my iphone. There used to be a setting to limit but it appears to be gone in 7.0

With the upgrade to this horrible 7.0 ios I find that now all 22K plus of emails from my Gmail account are on my phone. How do I change the setting so only 50 or 100 are displayed? This option seems to be removed.

Verizon is not doing that it is the mail that is doing that.
Check your device settings for email and read the owners manual as to how to set up mail to download. How you want it, leave on server, etc.
Good Luck

How do i limit the number of emails displayed in ios 8

I want to limit the amount of emails that are downloaded to my mail app. I can only find instruction for doing this in ios7. I am using ios8. I don't have a “Mail Days to Sync” option.
Any ideas?

You may want to post in the correct forum, this one (AppleWorks) is for a rather old piece of Apple software for a Mac.

Mail Reports Incorrect Number of Emails

Sometimes when Mail downloads messages, it reports more messages than it actually downloads. For example, I just Bounced a Spam email and when the message came back from the Post Office saying the address was invalid, Mail reported downloading 2 messages when only one appeared. Any ideas why this happens?

That's your IMAP mailbox syncing all copies.

How to change the number of mails displayed

I have two accounts on my iTouch..I know how to change the number of mails displayed for the exchanged account (being the second-added email account)...But I don't know how to change it on my account email... I only want the recent like 20 messages to be displayed... But after I was reading through my email (meaning that pretty much all my emails were downloaded).. I couldn't decrease the number of emails displayed on my account email anymore....

Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Mail>Show Recent Messages. The least amount that you can set it for is 50 messages.

I am guessing that by 'our' reference you and a significant other are sharing an email address?

Display number of emails by sender

This is more of an intellectual curiosity question. I was wondering if it was possible to display a list of senders and the number of emails I have in my mailboxes. Maybe just the first 10 or 20 senders who have sent me the most messages, not EVERYONE! I am 99.9% sure this capability isn't in Mail natively, but does anyone have a clue about possibly using a Script or something similar?
I suppose I could rig up something in Terminal to do it, but the thought popped up in my head, and got me wondering.
Thanks!

Wow, missed that there was a follow-up!
Unfortunately, your answer tells me that I didn't ask my question clearly enough. You did answer the question I asked, but NOT the one I meant!
Let me try again, perhaps with an example. What I REALLY want is something where Mail will automatically give me a collection BY SENDER sorted by number of messages from that sender. Sort of like where Mail groups by conversation thread. Of course, I can create a smart mailbox for a particular sender and see this. What I would like (and I am pretty sure doesn't exist, but would love at least a work around) is a mode where I can see, for example:
Sort by Sender (or Sort by From)
Apple                   100/300
Joe Smith              40/100
Billy Bob                  20/50
etc...
Where the 100/300 means 300 messages, 100 unread. And clicking on "Apple" will let me see all messages from Apple WITHOUT creating a smart mailbox. Again, I will be quit surprised if this exists. Perhaps I need to make my own work around using terminal and opening the mailbox (knowing better than to work with .mbox other than in read only mode!)
Is this clearer?

Maximum number of email messages displayed in Mailbox?

Is 200 the maximum number of email messages you can display in any given Mailbox? I am trying to view an old email that was sent approx 3 months ago, which puts it about 600 or 700 email messages down in my Inbox. Hitting the "Load 50 More Messages" link doesn't appear to do anything if you already have 200 messages displayed in the Mailbox.

Forgot to mention that I am using a .Mac email account....

Who'sWho Off Phone number is been displayed instead of Offi email ID

Hi Experts,
Few users of our portal are facing the below issue in standard Who'sWho application.
Users search for their name and the application displays it.
But there is some data inconsistency as the Official Phone number is been displayed instead of Official email ID.
At the back end the data is maintained properly.
When the official phone number is not maintained at R/3 the application displays the email id correct.
But once the official phone number is update the system picks the phone number as email id.
Why does it happen only with selected users ?
how can i solve this ?
Please help.
Regards,
Sanjyoti.

hi,
I found out that there is no RFC which is called instead there is standard infoset query which is fired.
The name of the query is "/SAPQUERY/HR_ESS"
how shall I debug this query please help as I have not worked on it before.
The problem is not seen in quality portal.
Is it possible to create a request for the standard query and send it.
Regards,
Sanjyoti.

How can I get a count of the number of emails in my inbox folder (not just unread, but total) to display on the folder list?

I use to have a count of the total number of emails in my inbox. This was listed next to "inbox" in my folder list. With the latest version, this is gone and I can't find anything in the settings that can bring back that feature. I can see the number of emails by right-clicking the folder, but I'd love to be able to just see it at a glance again.

Do you have this add-on?

Emails display in Gmail from wrong sender on iPhone only

This is a weird one. iPhone 6 running 8.0.2. I've had every iPhone since 2007 and have never seen this before. My 6 has been rock solid since I picked it up on launch day.
I shipped a package via USPS, and signed up for tracking updates via email to my main Gmail account, which I've done 100 times. Yesterday morning I received one of the tracking emails...the sender displays as [email protected] in my inbox with the subject line as "USPS Shipment Info for <tracking number>". All good and normal.
Here's the weird thing - the next 6 emails received directly after that one ALSO display as coming from [email protected] with that same subject line, even though they are really from various senders - Groupon, BestBuy, MLB, etc. When I tap one of those messages to read it, it still shows the USPS sender and subject, but actual the body of the email is correct and as it should be - Groupon, BestBuy, etc. Restarting the phone had no effect.
When I view that Gmail inbox on my iPad or on a full browser on my desktop computer, those emails display properly, and don't have the rogue USPS info associated with them. Nothing has changed with this Gmail account, and this phone was set up from my iPhone 5's last backup, which never had this issue. All emails received since yesterday morning are behaving normally.
Do I call this a weird glitch and just move on? Has anyone seen anything like this, or have any idea what might have caused it? Thanks!

I did saw this on my phone when i first install iOS 8 on iPhone 5. But haven't see it after 8.0.1 or 8.1 update. It was rare though.
I do have this new issue on 8.1.1 that is somewhat related to this. I hope others can chime in.
I have gmail on my phone.
Delete a few emails from inbox.
then when i go into mail -> Accounts -> All Mail -> and move what i deleted back into Gmail inbox, 75% of the time, the moved email will have the wrong 'sender'. It will pick one of the recipient as a sender to display.
However, when i go into gmail from a desktop computer, it will show the CORRECT original sender.
I even restarted the phone and same error.
If I forward the email, the CORRECT original sender will be shown.
This bug does not happen on Yahoo or iCloud mail.
Is anyone having this issue?

Grey screen and "incorrect number of thread records"

I think I am in trouble. My eMac will not boot and gets stuck on the great screen with the Apple logo and the spinning windmill. I have followed the instructions in the Apple help article up to but not including "archive and install". I tried the advanced secure boot and the messages I got over and over were "HFSSWAPHFSPlusBTIternalmode: catalog record #30 keylength=34 expected=144 node=15278 File ID=4 volume= Macintosh HD device=/dev/disk 0s 10"
And
"Jan31 12:00:35 Launched: /System /Library/CoreServices/Loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/Loginwindow Port/dev/console exited abnormally: Trace/ BPT trap"
And
Jan31 12:02:13 Launched: Getty repeating too quickly on port/ dev/ console, sleeping"
I rest the PRAM and NVRAm as instructed.
I booted from the OSX 10.4 install disk and ran the verify disk and repair disk sequences several times. It did repair a number of things but it kept coming back to "
Message was edited by: Mont Rigaud Stud
Itkept coming back to "incorrect number of thread records". Even after running repair disk again several times it came back to the same thing and said
"the volume Macintosh HD could not br repaired after 3 attempts
ERROR: the underlying task reported failure On exit
1HFS volume checked
1 vOlume could not be repaired because of an error
Repair attempted on 1 volume
1 volume could not be repaired"
What should I do? I am NOT BACKED UP! How do I back up now? Can I usean external Hard drive? I really do not want to lose my photOs, email and business files.
I am typing my question on my iPhone, so that accounts for the poor capitalization.
Thanks
