IPhone always shows I have new e-mail

The iPhone home screen always shows that I have a new e-mail using my Gmail account. I have even tried deleting all the e-mail in my gmail account (it's a new one I made for iPhone use) and then sending a test mail. I'll read the test mail on the iPhone and it will still show that I have 1 new e-mail.
Anything that I'm overlooking?

You may have two e-mail accounts. For instance did you recently sign up for a .Mac trial with e-mail?. Try this look at the left hand corner see if it says accounts with a back arrow hit that. If it's showing two accounts go to the non-g-mail account and delete the new message. That should do it!

  • Mail icon in dock doesn't always show that a new mail has arrived

    Hi,
    I have a Tiger installation at work that doesn't always show when a new mail has arrived and I can't figure out why. The Mail icon in the dock doesn't change before you maximize the Mail app.
    Does anyone in here know how to fix it, or is it a known bug in Tiger (10.4.3) ?
    Regards

    First of all, Mail must be opened to see the number of new messages in the Mail icon. Have you checked if it's opened?
    If it's opened, open Mail app, go to Mail menu > Preferences > General, and check that, in "Dock unread count", it's selected the option you need

  • My iPhone 4S shows I have over 6 GB of memory used for mail yet the mailboxes are more or less empty.  Where is the memory going and how can I reduce it?

    I found a post with this solution that worked for me - .Do a backup, then download ibackupbot. It lets you look into the contents of that backup. Look in system files>mediadomain>library>sms>attachments. I found a ton of huge files related to long deleted texts. ibackupbot let me delete all that old crap. I then restored the phone with that now modifec backup and Bingo! freed up 9 GB. No problems.
    But note, if you are not technically inclined you probaly don't want to be digging around and deleting back up files. You delete the wrong thing and you could jack up your phone badly. Be careful.

  • I receive email from a yahoo account and a gmail account. thunderbird always shows a notice when yahoo mail arrives but never for gmail

    I receive email from a yahoo account and a gmail account. thunderbird always shows a notice when yahoo mail arrives but never for gmail and the settings are the same help! TIA

    well turn it off and see if that makes a change. After all IDLE is a server technology. If Google supports it and Yahoo does not then configuring Thunderbird the same means nothing. (I have no idea if Yahoo support it or not)

  • TS2755 after update, my phone shows I have new iMessages, but I do not and I cannot clear this.  Also I lost all my previous text messages before the update.

    After the update, all my previous texts are gone and my icon shows I have new texts.  How do I clear my icon so it shows no new texts?

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

  • Apple TV after IO6 upgrade always shows What's new screen

    After upgrade my apple tv Generation always show what's new secreen and cannot bypassing.

    It happend to me also. The solution is just let it stay there for 10 to 15 minutes (do not unplug otherwise it will start all over again), the "What's New" screen will go away by itself and you are back to Apple TV's normal home screen again. This scenario happens usually when you hadn't plugged AppleTV to electrical outlet for a long while.
    This is obviously a bug because it seems "Continue" button is not responding. But actually it did respond but the screen freezes at "What's New". After 10 to 15 minutes the video card finally catches up to your last action.

  • I can only see the welcome to mail screen (iphone 5).  I have set up mail successfully because it shows mail icon with messages.  But I cant get into the mail box!

    I can only see the welcome to mail screen (iphone 5).  I have successfully set up the mail because it shows mail icon with messages (104 messages).  But I cant get into the actual mail box to read them.  Pls help!

    The received emails should show in two locations:
    1. In the All Inboxes tab of Mail.
    2. The Inbox for each mail account,
    If your emails are not showing in these locations try quitting the mail app and then reset your iPhone.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal.
    To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Imported and deleted photos are always showing up as "new photos"

    recently iphoto is acting strange:
    photos that i have previously imported from my iphone into iphoto (and then subsequently deleted) are constantly showing up as "new photos" when i connect the iphone to iphoto.
    why is it getting confused like this, and how can i fix this so i don't have to manually select the photos i want to import every time.
    normally it would always recognise which photos were in fact "new" and not show old photos in the "new photos" section.
    any help much appreciated.
    i am using iphone 5 with latest OS, and iphoto 11 (9.2.3)

    iPhoto is showing you all photos on the card, that are not in your Photo Library. It does not remember, that they once had been in the library.

  • IPhone always showing 'E' on status bar...

    I've got iPhone 2G and it always shows that it is connected to Edge and shows 'E' on the status bar. Due to this it gets very hot and battery gets empty faster...
    Is there anyway to disable Edge or close it temporarily..?

    If you are connecting to the internet via the edge network then yes, you are getting charged ( or it is counting against your allotment).
    Checking/fetching e-mail, visual voicemail, apps, location services, can all use the internet.
    The iphone is designed to have access to the internet available at all times.
    You can turn off the data option if you like.

  • How do I get an audio signal to let me know I have new e-mail?

    I am trying to find out if Firefox has the capability of sending an aural tone or signal whenever a new e-mail arrives.

    Sorry - not sure what IP addresses have to do with this. It sounds like the iPad is siged into the iTunes Store with the other person's Apple/iTunes/iCloud ID.
    You need to go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, click on the user ID, and sign out of the account, then sign back into iTunes with your own ID.

  • IPhone always shows 3G when waking from sleep

    Lately it seems that whenever I wake the phone from sleep, the screen shows 3G at the top, then switches to the wifi symbol after a couple of seconds. My phone is always on wifi at home, at my parents', and at my in-laws, so why does it always show the 3G symbol and then switch over when I hit the Home or Wake button? Seems like it should stay on wifi if it's connected to the wifi network.

    When the iPhone goes into sleep mode it loses the WiFi connection. It takes a brief time for it to reconnect when you wake it.

  • IPhone 4 shows I have mail but it's not in the inbox...

    On the home screen it says that I have emails. When I open up the Mail application there are no new emails visible anywhere.
    When I check my email on my iMac or on me.com then I can see the new mails are there, no problem.
    If I delete my mobileme mail account from the phone and then re-enter the details, I get the new emails but the problem soon returns. Anyone getting the same or has any solutions?
    Cheers

    Hi there -
    I've been having a similar problem, and I just worked out it's to do with multitasking. Presumably it's a bug in the Mail app for iOS4.
    All I do is open the multitasking tray, quit Mail and open it again the the new mail appears. Irritating, but it works. Don't know if that helps at all?
