Mail application showing mail in inbox as an error

My mail application on a 3G iPhone is stuck displaying 52 messages when infact there are none in the inbox. I've searched the support section but can't find any details on this. Any ideas anyone?

Hey Frank,
What type of email account is this? Can you login and check the Inbox via Safari?
Try resetting the iPhone. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
If you continue see an incorrect number of emails, try deleting the email account from the iPhone and then adding it again.

  • Crnt FF: 1 of 5 e-mails loses all e-mails upon viewing but shows qty of mails are there. Search can find all of them, just won't show in the InBox

    1 of 5 email ACCOUNTS receives mail OK, but as soon as you leave that account and come back, nothing is shown in the Inbox. The Status Bar however, shows that there are 32 e-mails there although the Inbox is devoid of any text.
    Using Search, I can find ALL 32 emails by searching for a word in the subject field or the body fields. The mails ARE there! They just do not display in the Inbox.
    So ... how the heck do I get the Inbox to show its contents again?
    This was working until day before yesterday when I read an e-mail from a trusted source, and it automagically disappeared, along with all the others in the inbox. ALL other accounts are working just fine.
    I tried creating a new email account but it wouldn't let me, giving me an error that the "incoming already exists". No number or anything; it come when I click DONE in the creation process. The new account will not write to the disk.
    I have run NOrton AV, AVG, MalWare Bytes, Windows Defender, Spybot and another I forget the name of right now. ALL showed nothing found after each success live scan. I am reasonable sure I do not have any malware.
    The e-mails in that account are pretty important and I do not want to lose them if possible; they are for a high school 50th Reunion planning committee.
    Windows 7 HP, Dell XPS L702, 6 Gig RAM, Intel i7 Processor and lots of disk space. I have also compacted with no change. The messages are all still there, but nothing shows in my inbox; it's empty. I only see them using Search the Messages for terms I know are in them.
    Happy to provide any other info needed to evaluate this. Oh, the account Sends OK too; it's a POP3 account setup.
    Any help would be most appreciated!
    Twayne`

    I apologize; I should have mentioned I already tried that, multiple times
    It's almost like, since the messages show a qty in the status bar, that their text has been changed to white, the background color. But when i use Search Messages to get at what's there, the text color is black as it should be.
    Any further comments welcomed.
    Thanks much

  • My mail.app is downloading my mail but it is not showing in my inbox

    My mail.app is downloading my mail but it is not showing in my inbox. I have read about deleting the com.mail.pfile to resolve this but the file doesn't exist. Anyone else ever had this experience?

  • Growl not working in Mail 4.5 - no applications show

    Typical, it had to be complicated with me!
    OK, so I had growled installed before, but I couldn't find it anywhere, so I installed it again.
    It didn't work with mail (or anything for that matter, tho I didn't give it a chance - I only tested mail). All the applications were showing in the list of applications in the Growl Menu.
    So, I tried what is in this post. Only trouble is in the section you mention there are two folders: Bundles (with nothing in it) and Bundles (Disabled) (which has the files you talk about in it. I added in the two lines above the 10 or so other lines and saved. Restarted mail, restarted mac. Nothing. No notification for new mails.
    I then uninstalled everything again and manually removed the files it says on the Growl Website. It didn't mention to, but I also put the two 'Bundles' folders in the trash (but didn't delete) to see if Growl, when I installed it again, but add a new folder in. It didn't.
    I uninstalled Growl again and put the folders back and then re-installed Growl.
    None of my applications showed in the preference list.
    So I closed and opened mail. Nothing. I restarted the mac. Now Omnifocus shows, but no other applications.
    Any ideas?
    PS - I'm on version 10.6.8
    - I have posted this here too:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2792475?start=0&tstart=0 but I think it is an old thread.

    I got growl mail to work again afterwards.
    You need to change 1 info.plist file. (use textedit to modify)
    With mail off.
    Go to your user login directory and follow this path:-
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.mailbundle/Contents/
    Info.plist
    open up info.plist
    and in the area under <key>SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs</key>
    Then add:
    <string>9049EF7D-5873-4F54-A447-51D722009310</string>
    <string>1C58722D-AFBD-464E-81BB-0E05C108BE06</string>
    save the file and now Growl is once again working...

  • Problem in sending mail to inbox

    I know this may be not a rite place to post the forum,but considering the
    replies for today in javamail ,i feel this is much better place to ask my
    problem.
    I coded a jsp which is used to send mail to providers like yahoo.com,
    hotmail etc.But problem is that mail goes to junk folder.
    After playing the from: field though yahoo shows some success rate
    but hotmail always make it junk and sometimes not even accepts.
    How can i send mail to inbox only.

    Some mail providers require you to have a reverse DNS listings for your servers. I believe hotmail is one such provider.

  • Mail.app moves back e-mail to inbox

    Hi
    I used to use outlook for OS X, but after successful upgrade to Yosemite I decided to move to mail.app. I constantly experience that all mails in my inbox (I have two accounts which is showed in the Inbox) which I move to folders, is suddenly moved back to the inbox. Its quite annooying to get all my read and stored e-mails back in my inbox view, so I have to move them again.O anyone have a solution to avoid such behaviour in mail.app?

    What kind of email account is this—IMAP, POP, Exchange? If you have more than one account, are they all affected?

  • Mail box behaviour is not okay using gmail. All mails in INBOX gets replicated in Trash. This is a recent phenomenon. Not clear where the problem lies - in Gmail or in new OS in MAC.

    I use MAC Mail box for my gmail account. In the last one month or so, my gmail behaviour is erratic.  When I tyrpe mails and send, a spate of intermediate version gets stored as draft in TRASH forcing these to be manually deleted.
    Another new issue: All INBOX Mails appear now in TRASH also.  If I delete, Trash contents, I lost all mail in INBOX also. I re-created my INBOX content from Archive Mail box. Then all mails appear in TRASH folder alaso.
    I am not sure where the problem lies - Is it an issue of Gamil, or new Maverick OS that I use in my MACPRO.  This was never before say one or two months before.
    The situation is distrubing and please advice whether I should reset any configuration.
    Regards
    Venkat

    I removed all mails sitting in Trash this time by using DELETE command; and then again clicked "REBUILD".  Now the Trash is empty.   I hope the problem is resolved for now. Thanks for the tips given instantly. Venkat

  • Can't forward e mail is say's contact error and no names show up

    since downloading the 9.0 firefox I have not been able to forward
    e mail, it say's contact error and no names show up, this is very
    upsetting since I e mail that is important to forward.

    Oops, our posts crossed. The two main changes in Safe Mode would be: (1) disabling Firefox's use of hardware graphics acceleration, and (2) disabling all extensions. You can try to implement those manually in regular mode.
    '''(1) Hardware Acceleration'''
    Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches with various display drivers.
    You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If you restart Firefox, are any issues improved? I suggest keeping it disabled even if you do not see an immediate benefit.
    '''(2) Extensions'''
    Disable ALL nonessential and/or unrecognized extensions. If in doubt, disable:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Then restart Firefox and test again.

  • Fetching all mails in Inbox from Exchange Web Services Managed API and storing them as a .eml files

    I want to fetch all mails in the Inbox folder using EWS Managed API and store them as .eml.
    I can store file once I get the file content as a byte[] will
    not be difficult, as I can do:
    File.WriteAllBytes("c:\\mails\\"+mail.Subject+".eml",content);
    The problem will be to fetch (1) all mails with (2)
    all headers (like from, to, subject) (I am keeping information of those values of from, to and
    other properties somewhere else, so I need them too) and (3)byte[]
    EmailMessage.MimeContent.Content. Actually I am lacking understanding of
    Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ItemView,
    Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.BasePropertySet and
    Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ItemSchema
    thats why I am finding it difficult.
    My primary code is:
    When I create PropertySet as
    follows:
    PropertySet properties = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties, ItemSchema.MimeContent);
    I get following exception:
    The property MimeContent can't be used in FindItem requests.
    I dont understand
    (Q1) What these ItemSchema and BasePropertySet are
    (Q2) And how we are supposed to use them
    So I removed ItemSchema.MimeContent:
    PropertySet properties = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
    I wrote simple following code to get all mails in inbox:
    ItemView view = new ItemView(50);
    view.PropertySet = properties;
    FindItemsResults<Item> findResults;
    List<EmailMessage> emails = new List<EmailMessage>();
    do
    findResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, view);
    foreach (var item in findResults.Items)
    emails.Add((EmailMessage)item);
    Console.WriteLine("Loop");
    view.Offset = 50;
    while (findResults.MoreAvailable);
    Above I kept page size of ItemView to
    50, to retrieve no more than 50 mails at a time, and then offsetting it by 50 to get next 50 mails if there are any. However it goes in infinite loop and continuously prints Loop on
    console. So I must be understanding pagesize and offset wrong.
    I want to understand
    (Q3) what pagesize, offset and offsetbasepoint in ItemView constructor
    means
    (Q4) how they behave and
    (Q5) how to use them to retrieve all mails in the inbox
    I didnt found any article online nicely explaining these but just giving code samples. Will appreciate question-wise explanation despite it may turn long.

    1) With FindItems it will only return a subset of Item properties see
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb508824(v=exchg.80).aspx for a list and explanation. To get the mime content you need to use a GetItem (or Load) I would suggest you read
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/exchangedev/archive/2010/03/16/loading-properties-for-multiple-items-with-one-call-to-exchange-web-services.aspx which also covers of paging as well.
    3) offset is from the base your setting the offset to 50 each time which means your only going to get the 50 items from the offset of 50 which just creates an infinite loop. You should use
    view.Offset
    = +50;
    to increment the Offset although it safer to use
    view.Offset  += findResults.Items.Count;
    which increments the offset based on the result of the last FindItems operation.
    5) try something like
    ItemView iv = new ItemView(100, 0);
    FindItemsResults<Item> firesults = null;
    PropertySet psPropSet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.IdOnly);
    iv.PropertySet = psPropSet;
    PropertySet itItemPropSet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.IdOnly) { ItemSchema.MimeContent, ItemSchema.Subject, EmailMessageSchema.From };
    do
    firesults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, iv);
    service.LoadPropertiesForItems(firesults.Items, itItemPropSet);
    foreach(Item itItem in firesults){
    Object MimeContent = null;
    if(itItem.TryGetProperty(ItemSchema.MimeContent,out MimeContent)){
    Console.WriteLine("Processing : " + itItem.Subject);
    iv.Offset += firesults.Items.Count;
    } while (firesults.MoreAvailable);
    Cheers
    Glen
    .Offset += fiFitems.Items.Count;
