Mail count incorrect

I see that once I've opened mail, the mail count is only correct for the first download. After that, the count just adds on to whatever it was before. This is for sent and received mail, and not sure if it makes a difference, but it's on a POP account.
This worked fine in all previous versions.
I can reset it by quitting out of mail, but that is counterproductive.

the result after quiting Mail.app is correct...

  • Bogus Unread Mail Count?

    Hi,
    I did a synch this morning and seem to have buggered the 'unread' mail count
    that badges the Phone Icon.
    I also upgraded to OSX 10.5.7...
    It asserts that there are 11 unread messages but I cannot find any...
    How can I clear the incorrect mail count?
    Thanks
    Jerry

    I figured it out...
    I think when I did the sync it added a new mail
    account that I had created on my mac for tracking
    my wifes medical correspondence...
    The badge count matched the number of unread mails in
    the new account.

  • Mail hang with multiple pop accounts and invalid new mail counter

    All
    More than a year ago, I migrated all email accounts from Outlook to Apple Mail using O2M application. I have 2 pop accounts and gmail account. Everything worked fine for a few month but then Mail started to hang during message receiving. It did so very often (4/5 times). When it does, nothing will revive it except a "force quit".
    I tried to fetch email from each account individually, that worked well every time. After I was sure that it has to do with getting new mail simultaneously, I tried everything to fix it. I tried to reconstruct all the mail boxes, I tried using only 2 boxes with all combinations (1 pop 1 gmail, 2 pop, etc) but nothing worked.
    I even tried to export all my mail boxes, then delete everything from Mail then reimport them with no luck.
    In addition, a couple of months later, my "Inbox" new mail counter started to sometimes displaying the wrong new mail count. It displays 2-4 new messages while there is none. In order to be sure, I created a smart mail box to have only new mail and it had none. By simply switching to any other folder then returning back to Inbox solves the problem.
    Can any one help?

    Make absolutely sure that your email addresses and configuration are correct. In nearly every case I've encountered, this is the problem.
    If you've confirmed this, make sure you're configured properly on your webmail account, if you have one. Webmail is something like ATT, the source of your internet.
    If you're still flummoxed, play hardball. Make sure you have all your current account info and passwords, and delete them in Mail/Preferences/Accounts. Then, reenter them one by one until they're perfect. This makes sure your settings are consistent and correct.

  • Mail not showing new mail count

    Very recently, Mail has stopped showing the new mail count next to the corresponding inbox on the bar on the left side of Mail. There are new emails sitting in the indox but it doesn't show a count. I upgraded to Mavericks and it there were no issues but now this is happening. Any ideas why?

    Yes, these can also be removed. Tiger Mail no longer uses them. You can confirm this by looking at their modification date. It should be no later than the date you imported your Panther mail into Tiger mail.

  • E-mail counter for POP3 account has gone negative

    When all e-mails are read the e-mail counter shows "-1/0".  Anyone else have this problem?  Is there a fix?

    Yeah it's just an annoyance really.  It now says "-2/0", while my empty deleted items folder has a 2 next to it.  Weird.  I noticed an e-mail dated Dec 31,1969 just before it went to -2.  I always delete everything anyway since all messages are saved at home, so I suppose I could delete the account and set it up again.

  • How can I show unread mail count of Gmail,Yahoo,AOL in my web application.

    I want to show unread mail count for Gmail,Yahoo,AOL,MSN (e.g. Gmail (5) ) on my web application. Also when user click on unread mail count it should open new window for respective mail Inbox say gmail inbox that shows unread mail of user.
    I have exercised on jgmail source code & it has used HttpClient API to login into gmail and access services of gmail but I am not able to execute it successfully.
    what are the options for above questions?
    Thanks In Advance

    JavaMail supports two standard protocols for reading mail POP3 and IMAP.
    As explained in the JavaMail FAQ (you found it, right?), the POP3 protocol
    doesn't provide information on unread messages.
    As far as I know, only Gmail supports IMAP. I don't believe either AOL or MSN
    support even POP3, but I'm not sure.

  • Special Field- Record Number count incorrect

    Hi,
    Looks like the record number special field is displaying the record count incorrectly. There are no records returned by the query nor there are any records in the detail section of the report. But the record number in the report footer shows 1. Is there any way to fix this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sirisha

    One way to "fix" it would be to do a count on a field in the details section and then compare that count to NULL or zero and if so then display zero otherwise display the recordnumber.
    1.  Create a running total on a field in the details section that doesnt reset.
    2.  Create a formula with:
    if isnull({#RTotal0}) or {#RTotal0} = 0 then 0 else recordnumber
    3.  Display the formula instead of the recordnumber in the report footer.

  • How can I show my mail count that I have saved in my folder when entering my mail box?

    I want to display my overall mail count when I open my mail. Even when I saved them.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • Unread Mail Count wrong after Time Machine restore

    I, and others on this forum seem to have an unsolved issue having restored from Time Machine backup, so presumably a glitch somewhere in the restore system.
    We have followed the normal advice of rebuilding mailboxes, but it doesn't help.
    Does anyone have an answer to how to reset the unread mail count to zero other than trash all the accounts and manually 'rebuild'
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I cannot take credit for this solution - I found the answer to this by searching through the Mail discussion forums. Another user had 3 emails that he had read, but they were still showing up in his Mail Badge Counter and this is how he fixed it.
    The super-simple-solution:
    Create a "Smart Mailbox" and set it to only contain all unread mail messages. This will grab all of the emails that Mail "thinks" are unread and is marking as such in the badge counter. Select all the emails, mark as read... and you're good to go.
    Hope this helps.

    iMac model?
    Mac OS version?
    Both can be viewed fby doing "About this Mac" from the Apple menu at the left end of the menubar. The OS version will be pretty obvious; posting what the window says about your processor will help us figure out what model.
    I ask becasue about 60 percent of the posts here are about newer models than the pre-2006 iMacs this forum serves.
    Not your fault if you found the wrong forum--Apple's labeling is as clear as mud!

  • ICloud new mail count badge not working in Mail v 5.2 Lion but is working in Mountain Lion on other machines

    I've upgreded 2 of my 3 computers to Mountain Lion, and all seems fine on those 2 machines, but on my older Mac Pro which is not compatible with Mountain, I'm having a problem where the new mail count badge is not showing up either on the iCloud mail box or as part of my total in the dock count badge.  New mail badges is showing up for my other mail boxes, just not iCloud.  I've removed my iCloud inbox, and have re-enabled it and it's still not working.  If I had the problem right at the time I installed Mountain Lion on my other 2 computers, I didn't notice it, so I don't think this problem is related to Mountain Lion on my other machines.

    Glenn,
    Regarding adding and deleting the System Drive from the Spotlight Privacy Tab...... I'm following your sequence, but when I come back to Spotlight Search in the menu bar it just works the same.... no mention of indexing. What's interesting is that "Mail" dosn't appear anywhere in search results when a keyword search is performed via spotlight.
    Regarding the "enevelope Index Files" ..... I followed the instructions and quit and re-opened mail as instructed.  When I re-opened Mail I selected "continue" and the program began to index the contents of mail for about 30 minutes.  I thought that would would fix the issue, but it's still not working. 
    I've tried to compare the account setup from my IMAC which works fine to see if I have something setup wrong in the account, but everything looks the same. 
    I guess I can try to re-index again?  Don't know what else to do? 
    Thanks,
    Bill

  • Mac Mail: Unread mail counter on dock icon shows "phantom" unread mails

    The mailconter of my Mac Mail icon on the dock shows 25 unread messages, but I'm unable to find these inside Mac Mail as unread messages.
    I did check all mailboxes and their subfolders for any undread messages that might be inside them, but I didn't find any.
    Is there any way to reset or recalculate the unread mail counter for the dock icon?

    Hi Robert
    The proposed rebuild did suddenly reveal the 25 unread mails insinde my archive mailfolders. By marking these as read again now shows the correct count of unread mails on the dock icon.
    Thanks a lot, your hint was most helpful!
    Regards

  • HT6030 Unread mail count still doesn't work for any mail accounts after installing the Nov. 7 Mail fix. I deleted Gmail from my Mac Mail so that's not the problem.

    I still cannot get an Unread Mail count in the Dock even after installing the the Nov. 7 Mavericks update. I deleted my Gmail account from my Mac, so I know that's not a problem. I checked the Mail preferences, and thay is configured correctly. Any suggestions?

    Point noted re multiples posts [ there were loads of  typos in previous]   . Your previous reply  may indeed be one way of  solving my problem. Thanks .
    Nevetheless  why does Apple prodcue "updated " software which isnt properly comptiable or tested;  with the result that it   now  doesnt work well with Gmail when the prevoius version worked fine. You would think an update  would at least work with Gmail as  well as the prevsoius version did.  G mail is  very widely used, so they, Apple,  and probably  Google too are  shooting themselves in the foot if they can't make the software compitable,
