Mail not showing new emails

Hi all
Since installing Lion my Mac mail program has undergone some changes, mainly for the better, but one is really bugging me.
When i received new mail under Leopard i used to get a blue dot by the inbox etc and a number count on the mail icon in the taskbar.
Now i don't get either unless i select count all boxes in the prefferences which is good except any mail in other boxes does not get hightlighted so i have to search manualy throught them to find the unread mail.
Anyone else having this problem?
I have tried rebuilding, selecting inbox only and all boxes to be counted but still have same problem.
The new email sound works but nothing visual.!!!
Cheers
Kev

  • Mac Mail Not Showing New Emails on Inbox

    Hello all,
    So I have recently reindexed my Mail application because all of the emails that have been unflagged were still docking in my Flagged folder. I searched up some similar queries on Apple forum and someone suggested to delete the Envelope files under MailData. I did this and it works perfectly.
    However, after doing this action, new emails (to my Gmail account) wouldn't appear on my inbox. Here is what happens instead:
    - New emails arrived, flash notification appears on the top right handside of my Mac
    - Inbox folder still empty, Important folder count is up
    - Checked Important folder, still couldn't find the new emails
    I have 3 inboxes on my Mail, 2 Gmails and 1 Yahoo. The problem only happens to the Gmail accounts. Yahoo account works perfectly fine. I didn't change any settings from Gmail account in the past ~5-9 months.
    Anyone have a clue what goes wrong here?

    any luck with your problem TSG?

  • Mail will not show new emails on my Mac Air but sends OK. Mail server is working

    Hello
    As I said above, Mail will not show new emails on my Mac Air but sends mails OK. The Mail server is working because my iPad is receiving and displaying incoming messages.
    Your advice is most welcome.
    Thanks!

    Thunderbird successfully displays all of my e-mail accounts in the list of accounts and displays all of the inboxes correctly however it doesn't display the e-mails at my newest address in the unified inbox. To see them, I have to click on that particular e-mail accounts inbox. In every way, this account appears to be set up the same as the all the other ones. The newest e-mail account is a second account through Zoho. What do you think is the problem?

  • SecUpd2006-002, mail not showing new mails in dock anymore

    hello folks,
    i am not sure if the following problem is linked to the SecUpd2006-002 i just installed, but this just occured afterwards:
    mail is not showing the arrival of new emails in the dock anymore!
    ya know, that little red dot with the numbers of new mails in it.
    (is there a button or something to toggle this on and off anyway?)
    in mail itself they are still marked as new (bold letters) but in the dock nothing happens.
    anyone else having this problem? found out a solution already?
    thank you for your thoughts.
    p.s.: have repaired permissions already

    all right, found the solution by myself:
    was kind of a font problem.
    got a helvetica font from a customer. installation seems to have overwritten/removed the "normal" helvetica font installed by the system.
    so mail went nuts. noticed - besides the above mentioned problem - that the headers of the mails seemed to be a little weird: mail-adresses bigger sizes (or different font) than the other infos.
    so, if you ever run into something similar like this: clean up your fonts ;o)
    glad it's over, have a good one!

  • Mail not receiving new email messages.

    The Mail application on my 2006 MacBook has stopped retrieving new messages. The Mac is running 10.5.8, and the Mail is version 3.6. I have not made any changes to the mail preferences in years. I have two email accounts configured: my Gmail as well as my university email account.  Comcast is my internet provider. About a week ago, the incoming email was slow to update. I would click "Get Mail", and it would pull in only 4-5 emails at a time. I would re-click "Get Mail" several times until all the new mail was retrieved. But for the past 4 days, no new mail is coming in.  When I click on "Get Mail", the wheel next to both accounts spin like they are working, but nothing happens. There is no error message given (such as "no internet connection"). I have tried the mailbox "rebuild" on both accounts several times, as well as rebooting the computer. (When in doubt, reboot!).
    The outgoing emails I send from Mail are being received by the recipients, so I know the connection is working in that direction!  The Comcast internet is working, and I can log in to my Gmail account through the web and view my emails there just fine. I'm also receiving the new emails on my iPod Touch. So, I know there are new emails, but they are not coming to my MacBook.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the suggestions, BDAqua. Unfortunately, the new mail is still not coming in.  I am still able to send mail out through Mail (I did another "test" mail to myself, then checked it on Gmail.com).
    A couple of comments & questions (to make sure I was doing things correctly):
    The "Connection Doctor" had all green dots. So, that all looks OK.
    What do I do with the Mail folder and Envelope Index file that I had moved to my desktop during the Safe Boot? Right now, they are just still sitting on my desktop while in normal start-up mode.
    When you said "redo to Rules", I moved the two files you mentioned into the trash. Is this what I was supposed to do? Should I "empty trash" to make sure they are gone?
    After I ran through your suggestions once, I did the "safe boot" again and re-ran the Disk Utility "Repair Permissions". Of the things it found, none seem to be Mail related. But, just for kicks, I'll paste the results log below.
    Any other ideas? I am able to get my mail through Gmail.com, so it's not the end of the world if I never get this fixed. Just annoying!

  • 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?

    Incoming_Mail
    IncomingTable_ofContents
    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.

  • Mail not showing new messages

    As of about 4 days ago my Mail app is not displaying new e-mails.  It says '19 incoming messages' but they never appear.  I have tried:
    - Replacing mail.plist with older version from time machine
    - Rebuilding mailboxes
    - Asking my web hosts if there is any problem their end - no problems there.
    - Checked the 'get account info' box which displays the 19 messages with 'unknown sender' still on the server.
    Any other ideas anyone?

  • Mail not receiving new emails

    Since installing the latest update my Mail won't receive any new emails from my business account run through gmail.
    [email protected]
    Receiving fine on iPhone and through Thunderbird.
    Is anyone else having issues with Mail?
    Regards

    I am having the same problems. I am not receiving email to one of the six addresses I have in Mail. Ever since I updated to Mavericks, I've had problems with Apple Mail. I checked the activity and conneciton doctor, everything is green and connection is fine, but no email. I only receive the message if I quit mail and restart.
    I've been using apple for 10 years, and in the last year or so noticed they are going the way of windows in that there programs don't "just work" anymore. There are more and more issues creeping up with each new update.

  • IPhone will not show new email in folders other than Inbox on Yahoo

    Hello,
    I have setup Yahoo email account. I have several folders within my yahoo account (15+), now the new email notification ( sound and new email icon ) works only on Inbox, If I have new email in my other folder, iPhone will not notify unless I go inside that folder.
    Has anyone seen this problem and is there a workaround ?
    I am sorry if I am repeating the Q, I searched here but did not find this Q?

  • Problem with Mail not showing new messages

  • PR1.3 Email Issue - Not showing New Email notifica...

    if you have updated to the new pr1.3 by OTA (over the air) you may have a problem when email are coming in and not showing the blue circle with the number in it showing how many new or what account they are in.
    My finding is that this affected the IMAP email but not POP (i only have 1 pop email account and 4 IMAP and 1 Exchange and it only left my pop unaffected)
    To fix this issue, simply open accounts and delete the email account.  then create a new account for that email over again and it should now show your "New Message" counts and with the correct email accounts.
    cheers.

    Doesn't work for everybody I'm afraid. :-( Tried this a number of times - you get the blue circle when first set up but after that you're out of luck.... The Gmail account (not Exchange) works fine - just a generic IMAP setup fails A number of people on TMO have had the same experience

  • Mail not showing new mail

    Mail is no longer showing new messages when they arrive. I have to go to Take All Accounts Offline and then Take All Accounts Online, and only then to the messages appear in the inbox. I think this started after upgrading to Mavericks. Does anyone know how this can be resolved?

    Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

    Another you can try.
    Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

  • Mail not showing new account

    Hi there!
    I have added a new account (IMAP) and successfully configured it with an automatic installer provided by the hosting service.
    I can see the new account only in the inbox folder, but not in the other folders (Sent, Trash, Junk, Drafts).
    How can I have it comparing in the other folders?
    Thank you for your reply.
    Juan Carlos

    I would expect the new address to show up in those boxes when you have made a draft, put something in the trash or sent something from the new address.
    With one address those boxes do not show until something is in them.
    Hope that is clear enough.

  • Mail not getting new email

    I have had trouble getting Mail to go and get my new email. I believe that it is a problem with Mail, because I was able to check my mail online through my schools webmail address, and I also created an account on Entourage, and it worked there too. Here is the error message when I try to check my email:
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "Steve's ASU Email" or try again.
    The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "imap1.asu.edu" on port 993 timed out.
    Please let me know if you know how to fix this, thanks!!!

    Does your school's email account support and require using SSL for the incoming mail server?
    Port 993 indicates use SSL for the incoming mail server is selected.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences, deselect use SSL and the port should change to 143 for the incoming mail server if the account is an IMAP type account.
    Test if this resolves the problem.
