IPhone mail app not showing number of unread messages on home screen

My wife's iPhone has the mail app synced to her Gmail account and everything appears set to "push", but no notification appears onscreen when she gets a email. She has to open the app and then mail downloads.i

Hello queenbea4,
You may need to place a tick mark for "Include when automatically checking for new messages" under the Advanced pane of your iCloud account's settings in Mail's Preferences. This can be found by going to the Mail menu, then to Preferences. Under the Accounts tab, choose your iCloud account, then the Advanced tab to the right.

  • IPhone Mail App not showing all messages

    I have set my iphone mail settings to show 500 recent messages, but it only shows 10 messages - how do i get past this problem?

    What Kind of email account is it.
    If the account is Gmail or Yahoo, those are IMAP accounts which all messages can be retrieved from the server over and over again if you remove the account and re-add it.
    Now if you are using like a SBC-Global, ATT.net, Bellsouth, Anything that is a POP3 Account it will only download new message and not past ones.

  • Why "Bulk Mail" foder does not display number of unread messages unless I click the folder (Yahoo mail through IMAP)?

    Yahoo mail account's "Spam" folder (as viewed through "Yahoo mail" web interface) is displayed in Thunderbird as "Bulk Mail" (IMAP). Looking at the account's foders in Thunderbird I see the number of unread messages in each folder. "Bulk Mail" appears always to be empty. If I click the "Bulk Mail" folder, then magically messages appear in message list, and the number of unread messages is displayed next to folder name, like in all other folders of this account.
    Why I need to touch the "Bulk Mail" folder in order to see the number of messages in it?
    Yahoo deletes messages from this folder at certain periods. I'm in danger of loosing messages unless I remember to touch all of my Yahoo account's Bulk Mail folders in Thunderbird.
    How I can get "Bulk Mail" folder to show the number of unread messages like all other folders of the same account do?
    Thunderbird 24.6.0, Windows 7 Enterprise (Sp1)

    I don't use IMAP in Thunderbird, so I can't provide step-by-step instructions, however, other e-mail programs have settings for whether or not to synchronize each individual folder on a schedule or using push IMAP (vs when clicked). If Thunderbird has those settings, I would expect them to appear in the folder properties or account settings. Perhaps this will be helpful, but I don't know if you've already done some digging like this or not.
    FYI, a quick search brought me to this page:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configuration-options-folders
    One item listed in that page is this:
    Configure IMAP folders, connections and namespaces
    Menu location: Tools | Account Settings | <account name> | Server Settings | Advanced
    Perhaps that would be a good place to start since it does mention IMAP folder connections, but folder properties still might be an easier place to peek first, just in case. For that, the site lists this:
    Configure folder properties (IMAP folders only)
    Menu location: Edit | Folder Properties | General Information
    However, I think you could right-click on the "Bulk Mail" folder and hit properties in the pop-up menu.

  • Mail app not showing some png and pdf attachments.

    I'm using the iPhone 4s and recently, both mobileme and yahoo email accounts are not showing some png and pdf attachments. I'm seeing the attachment is there, but it doesn't load. Load remote images is turned on in settings. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution/explanation?

    My work email account is an IMAP account.
    I removed my work email account on my home computer this morning to test out this problem on my computer at work. I just sent a test message to my work account from my iPhone. My iPhone, iPad and computer at work still have my work email active on them and all the devices are showing the test message as new and unread. The problem seems to be that when I have my work email activated on my home computer, the messages do not show new and unread on the rest of my devices.

  • Outlook 2013 client not showing number of unread items

    Hi there!
    Exchange 2010 SP3 with latest CU.
    Outlook 2013 with latest Windows update.
    Lately (let's say about 1-3 months) we see that in Outlook 2013 client some folder are not showing the number of unread items.
    This thing stopps working randomly and yes if we look under folder properties, option: SHOW NUMBER OF UNREAD ITEMS is enabled.
    We believe it's some kind of bug.
    Anyone else experiencing the same thing and how to solve it?
    with best regards,
    bostjanc

    Hi,
    Does this issue happen to multiple users?
    When you view the folder that has unread emails, is there any unread email with the blue "unread" line before the unread email?
    Please first try to start Outlook with /cleanviews switch to check if this issue is caused by corrupt view. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook.exe /cleanviews and press Enter.
    Besides, if this issue happens again, you can try to close Outlook and then open it in safe mode (hold CTRL key and double click Outlook icon to open it) to check the result.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,,

  • Iphone mail app not receiving e-mail from 1 sender

    The Mail app on my iPhone 6/iOS 8.3 is not receiving e-mail from one sender sent to my Outlook e-mail account. This sender's e-mail address is "[email protected]". It is a notification of digital magazines available from Zinio. I know the mail app is not receiving the e-mail because Outlook 2013 on my desktop and Outlook.com do receive these e-mails. How can I get the mail app on my iPhone to receive these e-mails from this address?

    Initially it sounds like something with your backup data caused the issue with your new device but if you restored your device again without using the backup and the issue still exists it wouldn't appear to be the issue at all. Since the problem seems to only be with one person are you sure it's not an issue on their end and with their network that is stopping you from receiving the messages? Have you tried *228 option 2 to see if that helps?

  • IPhone mail app not sending notifications

    I use the mail app for iphone to check my college email,
    usually it sends notifications when I receive a new messege but it is not sending any more (No sounds, no banners, no badges),
    Although the email app is in Notification Center when I check it in the settings
    Is that beacuse I Use IMAP Not POP ?

    If Mail is in the notification center and the badge icon is on, alert is on, and ect... Try to reset your device holding home and sleep/wake button; Wait til the Apple logo appears and then let go of the buttons and wait for reboot. Has nothing to do with what type of email account you are using.

  • IOS 8.1.1 iPhone mail app not working with Yahoo

    Since upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.1 I have been unable to access my (UK) Yahoo mail account. Following advice from other posters I have tried deleting the account, doing a hard reset and then adding the account again. Also tried different settings for Push and Fetch but all to no avail. I have an iPad2 that I have also upgraded to 8.1.1 and I can access my mail ok on this although I have noticed that one of my mail folders is showing empty despite it containing many emails when I access it directly via Yahoo mail on my Windows laptop. To get round the problem on my phone I have resorted to downloading the Yahoo! Mail app and this works 100% ok. Can anyone please throw some light on this? Thanks

    Hi, Big Alma.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would need more information regarding what issue you are exactly experiencing with Yahoo and your iOS device to provide a better answer.  However, here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with mail.  I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

  • IPhone iMessages do not show up on Web Message

    I noticed that messages sent from iMessaging do not show up on my Web Messaging app. They show up on my iPhone texts but not on my Web Messaging. Why???

    Where is this Web Messaging app through? Are you referring to the Integrated Messaging offered by Verizon Wireless? If so, the messages are functioning as designed. The messages sent as iMessages are sent through the data connection and Apple's servers. They don't go through the same VZW system as regular text messages that would show up in the Integrated Messaging.

  • Mail is not showing proper dates for messages

    Hi,
    I just set up Mail and it imported over 9000 emails from my IMAP account. It has the correct "date received" for about the last 20 emails I received, but after that ALL 9000 or so messages have an identical time stamp: 21 March 2009 1:26 p.m..
    Completely random?
    The real dates show up fine in webmail and in Thunderbird using IMAP.
    What the heck?!
    Any advice?

    Nope.
    Usually crappy support expected for proprietary software... it's all compiled and secret so who know what the heck is happening.
    I should say the only reason I use Mail.app is because of its global inbox for IMAP accounts feature.

  • HT5858 I downloaded the ios 7 update, and now none of my apps are showing as shortcut icons on the home screen.

    I know the apps are all still on my phone because when I go to the app store and choose an app I have the "open" option instead of "install". Also when I double-tap the home screen I see all of the icons to scroll through at the bottom of the screen, I can tap on one and open it up with no problem, but how do I get the icons to show back up on the home screen?

    Sync with itunes or on your phone go to appstore - update - purchase - all or not on this phone and redownload the app.

  • HT201263 iphone 4 will not turn on for anything. touching the home screen and lock screen still doesnt turn it on. what should i do

    my iphone 4 was working fine yesterday and last night it just started cutting off and on by its self and now it doesnt want to come on at all. what should i do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Take it apart and verify that you reassembled it correctly. Next take it to someone with more experience.

  • Mail app does not sync "Sent" or "Read" messages with my iPhone mail app.

    I just started using a new Mac Mini (running 10.9.1). I have the Mail app connected to a handfull of different email addresses, and my iPhone mail app is connected to the same addresses. If I send a message on one device, the other device will not show it. If I read a message on one, the other will not show that I've read it.
    I assume the two Apple devices, both running up-to-date operating systems and using the native Mail app, should be communicating with each other in a way that allows me to work between the two seamlessly. Am I just incorrect in my assumption, is there something I can fix, or is this a bug we're waiting to have repaired?

    Actually, my Gmail is the one that does work appropriately. I have a few IMAP addresses I use that do not sync between devices.
