Mail Icon Unread email Count

I just got the iphone 4s. (i had the 3gs and had to go to droid due to family plan on sprint.) Anyhow i am back on iphone and i was hoping someone can remind me how to remove the unread email number count on the Mail icon. I believe there was a setting etc which allowed me to remove this. You input is appreciated.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Unread Email Count wrong for all eternity?

I've read a number of threads where people had the same problem but I've never seen a solution. My unread email count on my Yahoo mail is stuck at 5 (+ whatever unread emails I really have.)
I've:
--Double-checked all folders. There are no unread emails I'm missing
--Marked all emails as read in Yahoo just in case
--Deleted and re-added my Yahoo mail account on my phone
--Turned off and on, and done a hard reset on my phone
--Prayed, sang voodoo chants, and yelled at the thing
The false unread emails mock me. It's a minor annoyance but it bugs me because everything else just works so well that it sticks out.
Anyone have the same problem and solve it? Please?!
Thanks, Jeff

Try doublclicking on the home button, find Yahoo icon, hold till wiggles, press red sign and close it... then reopen Yahoo and see if the issue is still there.
It may work, but it is a very long shot.

Unread email count Is 3900 after upgrade to IOS 8.1.2

AFter upgrading to IOS 8.1.2 my unread email count jumped to 3900 even though there is no email on my phone and none on the server. Is there a way of clearing this count?

Hi, jaff067.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you have an unread message counter, but your mail account indicates all mail is read. This usually means that you have an additional mail account setup. Check to see if you can access this account or change mailboxes and clear the unread via the steps below.

IPad unread email count doesn't tally with Microsoft Exchange 2007 email count from OWA.

I discovered that when we first setup the iPad to sync email from Microsoft Exchange 2007 server via ActiveSync, the total number of unread email count tally with the count from OWA. After a few days, the unread email count will be out of sync. The settings for iPad "Mail days to syn": No limit. Mail to show: 1000. iPad iOS: 5.1.1
We performed the following:
1.     Compare email by email to verify which are the read email from OWA doesn't sync to iPad. We discovered that some emails read from OWA doesn't sync with iPad even performed forced update. However, if we delete that read email from OWA, it will delete (unread) from iPad immediately after sync.
2.     Email recall message for successful recalled displayed in OWA but not on iPad.
3.     Calendar invite message forward as email displayed in OWA but not in iPad.
Is there a bug for Microsoft Exchange 2007 or there is limitation for iPad?
Any kind expert can advice?
Thanks.

Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
No.
If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

Unread email count wrong on my IPad

The Unread email count is wrong on my IPad. I have read other threads about this issue but they all seem to point to Macs. I did just update to IOS 6 last Monday(5 days ago)

I deleted the account and reinstalled it and the count is now correct.

Outlook 2013 folders not showing unread email count for incoming emails

When a new email comes in, it would show up in its folder in bold, indicating it's unread email, which is good, but there is no blue number (unread email count) next to the folder. Outlook repair didn't help. No one else on the network has this problem.
How to fix it so when a new email comes in the unread email count would update itself?

Hi,
Does this issue happen to all folders (including Inbox)?
Please right click on one folder, and select Properties, and make sure the "Show number of unread items" option is selected. If it is already selected, change it to "Show total number of items", click OK. Then, change it the "Show
number of unread items" again to see the result.
Please let me know the result.

Unread Email Count change after ios7 upgrade

In ios 6 the unread email count was based on the how many weeks/days of email you sync. Now after upgrading to ios7 the unread email count for me between gmail and ymail is 1000s of email as I have unread email on the server from 2012 and 2011 which I dont snyc with phone(since I only snyc last week of emails). Is there a way to customize the settings so the unread email count setting goes back to how it was in ios6.

I meant to say "In ios 6 the unread email count was based on the how many unread emails you have on your phone. With number of email on the phone was dependent on the # of weeks/days setting for the email". Now with ios7 the number of unread emails are based on the number of unread emails total you have for that email account.

Wrong number of unread email count on the dock mail icon

Hi, I recently got an upgrade to 10.8.4. Since then. my mail icon in the dashboard doubles the number of emails by 2. If there are 3 emails, the number reads 6. Any suggestions for an annoyance, not a serious problem I assume. Thanks

Mail: wrong unread messages count – fix instead of workaround?

hello. Although I welcome the idea to set up an unread mails smart folder in addressing this issue (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5857003&#5857003, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5657501&#5657501 etc.), I'd consider this a workaround rather than a fix. The real problem seems to be that mail no longer displays the unread messages in the inbox, account box, mailbox … as it should. Is there an actual fix to that? Like setting back some cache file or something (hope apple will have that solved in the next update)?

Wow. That was swift. Hello Pascal.
and you have indeed chosen the "inbox" option for dock unread count in mail>preferences>general?
yes. Then it disappears, and reappears as I set it back to all mailboxes—but this should work with all mailboxes, shouldnt't it?
and you have created a smart mailbox to hunt down unread emails and mark them as read?
yes, of course. That's a good workaround. But it's a workaround, not a fix. There were unread mails in one of the mailboxes, and they should have been indicated as such, as they indeed usually are. But sometimes aren't.
if you have done both of these i would suggest a couple of things:
1) quit mail, reboot, launch mail again, see if that solves the issue, if not then,
done that
2) get rid of the current icon on the dock, go to the applications folder, select mail.app and drag a fresh icon to the dock, see if that solves the issue, if not then
It doesn't. It's not just the dock, it's also the application switcher (the one you get holding cmd-tab)
3) make sure you have back ups of your mailboxes in you have pop accounts especially, then quit mail and trash the com.apple.mail.plist file in homefolder/library/preferences - do note that once you do that you will have to create your email accounts in mail - then launch mail again and recreate your email account(s)
I may do that if it reoccurs too often.
thanks

Apple mail Notification - Unread email notification to show on the top?

Does anyone know if I can have the unread email notification for Apple mail show on the top menu bar, perhaps amongst the icons like battery indicator, airport ect.? I have my dock setting to hide and I would like to see how many messages I have unread w/o having to pull up the dock. Any ideas?
Thanks

Mail Unread Menu ➚ does this, but the reviews ➚ on MacUpdate seem to imply some instability.

Help! I can email when I am in my gmail web world, but cannot get my gmail default email to work. I have recently disabled my exchange email - and did select gmail as my default. When I try and use the mail icon, my email doesn't work. HELP!

How can I get my default email to work on my iPad? Gmail in my browser is fine, but I can't send anything if I am not in gmail. Why is my mail icon not working?

You probably messed up the password/ server set up. Delete the account from the pad, and re enter it. Pay real close attention to the password entry. Upper lower case etc. if they ask you for an optional name a second time, fill it in. G mail works fine on mine.

Mail - deleting unread email marks it as read

Dear community,
When deleting an UNREAD email in Mail (I'm running 6.6 (1510) on OS X 10.8.5) it gets moved to trash and marked as READ. That doesn't seem quite right to me. Anyone experiencing the same issue? Known bug? Any solution?
Thanks.

What does make you believe it is normal?
Firstly, it wasn NOT like this in the past was it?
Secondly, I sometimes need to know exactly what messages went to trash without been read.
Thirdy, I human being would rather decice myself (read - configuration option!) what gets marked as read and what doesn't and when.
Any idea how to stop Mail forcefully marking trashed messages as read?

Exchange Online : Unread Email Count

I'm looking to get an export of the number of unread emails in the inboxes of several users. We will use this to bring to the attention of those users that they need to keep up with their email better than they already are, based on the number returned.
I have yet to find a viable solution for this.

The only way I can think of is to run some sort of an EWS based script against those mailboxes. Check here for example:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn535506(v=exchg.150).aspx#bk_getewsma
There's a complete example here:

Unread email count on lock screen?

Sorry if this is a newb question - just got the iPhone and have searched and dorked around with this thing to no avail... how do I get the unread email message count to show up on my lock screen? Having the voice and text message count would be cool too.

Of course, if you were to jailbreak your phone (and all the bricking risks this incurs - and I suffered repeated inexplicable crashes while my phone was jailbroken) there is an awesome app that allows you to customise exactly what you will see on the lock screen.
Why Apple doesn't offer this, I do not know - it's so annoying when you have a lock code set up, to have to have to click the home button, swipe & tap in the code just to see if you have any updates in any of your apps... Apple's vaunted UI has clearly not been applied here. I am surprised that Steve isn't ****** himself at having to do this every time. (Maybe Steve's phone is an in-house apple-jailbreak model?)
