Mail-Red Badge in Dock won't go away...

Hi all,
Small problem, yet annoying. Suddenly the red badge that is on the Mail icon in the dock persistently tells me I have one email, although I don't have any.
Don't waste your time asking if I am sure that I have checked all mailboxes... there is not a single unread email, yet that red 1 keeps taunting me.
I have already rebuilt each of my mailboxes, restarted the app, etc.... I have not tossed the prefs as of yet because I don't imagine this information would be stored there.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

make a smart mailbox with a single condition to show unread messages in any mailbox. see if it finds anything. also, in Mail preferences->general set "Dock unread count" to "inbox only".
If none of this helps try rebuilding the entire mail index. quit mail and eleted the file /users/username/library/mail/envelope index. start mail and let it import (this means reindex) your messages.

After iOS 8 update, the "1" badge on settings won't go away. There is nothing actionable that I can find.

After doing the update on my 5S, it appears the "1" badge over Settings will not go away. I've been through the settings menu multiple times and can't find anything actionable, looking for help. It's driving my OCD-self insane.
I've turned the phone off and on a couple of times, to no avail. Thanks

Same here with an iPad Air.
Tried to sync, to reboot to look for new software to force the counter to zero but nothing happened....

Mail Upgrade message in Mavericks won't go away

Have upgraded from 10.8 to 10.9 Mavericks on my Macbook Pro, everything pretty much went fine, except for a problem with Mail.
Everytime I open it, I get the below screenshot, saying "Welcome to Mail. To use the new features in Mail, your Mail messages need to be downloaded to this computer...."
If I click continue, I get a "bing" sound and then my Mail opens up, but I get the same message each time I open Mail.
Annoying.

I don't get the message anymore by doing the following:
Try to repair disk permissions first.
If your mail is also on a server and provided that you have a backup of your rules, signatures, etc, you can try the following:
go to ~/Library/Mail
Delete all contents of the Mail folder. Don't delete the Mail folder.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Delete the file com.apple.mail.plist
The above actions will delete all local mail and reset the app completely! If you don't have a backup of your mail don't follow these actions!

HELP! BB Pearl 8130. Solid Red Led Light. Won't go away.. HELP!

My LED has turned a solid Red color. It's on all the time and is only off when I pull the battery out. My phone does still charge. I've done everything to get rid of it even wiping my blackberry and upgrading the software. I read something about Blackberry Music Gateway? I do use my pearl to listen to Pandora everyday and iheart radio with a 3.5 cable that plugs into the dash of my truck, but it never did this before. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Justin

Justin, so you've wiped the device completely and reloaded a new OS... still does the same. Anytime the BlackBerry is powerd on, the LED lights up RED?

New mail notification won't go away...

Hi there!
I'm using MacOS 10.7.4 and Mail 5.3 on a 13" MBP from 2012.
Lately I experience the problem, that the new mail notification (those little red numbers on the mail icon in the dock ) won't disappear after I read the mail.
When I quit mail completely and start it up again the notification is gone...
This behaviour is pretty new on my machine.
Can anybody help me with that?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I did restart the dock and will let you wether that solved the problem!
It'll take a day or two until I'm sure the notification will be gone for sure after I read an email because the problem didn't appear on a regular basis.

Dock fails to go away during QT full screen

I've noticed that since installing Snow Leopard my dock will occasionally hang on the screen (I have it on the left right now) when I am entering full screen for, say, a quicktime trailer. The mouse is in the middle of the screen, yet the dock won't go away. Usually the name of the last application I was in will be highlighted like I was hovering over it, but not always.
Sometimes I can take the mouse and run it over the dock to make different application names come up, then move the mouse away and finally the dock will hide itself. I think I've trashed the plist for the dock before in trying to resolve the problem, but I can't remember. Anybody got any ideas?

Thank you. That's what I was looking for:
Right click on the printer utility icon in the dock when you see it still sitting in there. Select "Auto Quit" from the pop up menu. Click on the utility to select it and open its queue window. Manually quit the utility.
After those steps it appears the utility now activates in the dock and then goes away after each print job that finishes normally.
Solved!

Hello Bill,
Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
Mail: Can't send messages, "Cannot send message using the server smtp.xxxxx.com" alert appears...

Red badge error in the dock after rebuilding account database...

Hi all,
I recently "Rebuilt" my email databases. After successfully rebuilding both accounts, I now have a red badge with the number "205" on my mail icon in the dock.
I have manually checked every mailbox, there is no RSS feed, etc. No new and unaccounted for email. If I get new emails in, the number 205 increases appropriately, but 205 is the minimum number.
Any thoughts?

Red badge counter on mail

I had to do a hard reset today because I could not send or receive email on my iPad & I couldn't connect to the internet. I kept getting messages "couldn't connect to server". I can now send & receive email & get on the internet but the red badge dot on Mail that shows number of unread emails has disappeared as well as the sound that I used to get when new mail came in. This is happening only on my iPad. I still get the red badge showing unread emails on my laptop. Any suggestions to repair this? Thanks

Ok, so even when you open the mail & new mail comes in, you don't hear the sound & don't then get the badge app icon showing for unread mail (assuming you haven't opened it on another device)?
Have you tried signing out then back into iCloud? Also try setting the individual mail account to Fetch (again, you choose the internal) though that puts more of a drain on the battery.
Sorry, I'm a bit stumped

With respect to new mail, no badge or sound even they though are turned on?

Just updated to Mavericks a couple of days ago. Even though my volume is turned on and I have checked both sound and notification badge in preferences/notifications, there is neither sound nor red badge on the mail dock icon when I get new mail. What's up?
Thanks,
Hannah

Check Mail/Preferences/General.

Macbook pro.minimize button is inactive. Finder menu bar and dock won't appear when firefox is open. not occuring with safari. have to click on desktop to get Finder menu bar and dock to reappear. think happens after update of something. How do I fix it?

When i open firefox it opens up full screen (as it always has) but now the minimize button is grey (not yellow) and inactive so i can only open (green button) or close (red button) my firefox window. I can still make it smaller by dragging the bottom right corner but i can't minimize it to my dock or anything. Also, I have my dock set to auto show/hide when i roll my pointer over it. Now, whenever Firefox is open (no matter what size the window is) the Finder menu bar (with the time, battery power, etc) does not show up (which it always has before) and my dock won't auto appear when i roll my pointer over it.

Can you check this issue on Firefox 9?

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

Calendar app never shows red badges

I like the default calendar app but would like it to show red badges when there are events that I haven't looked at to check. I have seen others get these so why dont I?
Are there any other calendar apps that show the red badge?
Mike

Howdy Mike,
It sounds like you want a red notification badge to appear on the Calendar app which is in the dock on your Mac. You can enable this feature from System Preferences, as described in the article linked below.
OS X Mavericks: Change Notification Center preferences
Badge app icon
Let the app show the number of notifications on its Dock icon.
Cheers,

Dock won't magnify after 10.4.4 update

Just did the update to 10.4.4 and now the dock won't magnify when I move the mouse over the various applications. When I click one it magnifies it and stays magnified till I click into another application.
I also noticed that in Mail.app when you hovered over an address in an email you'd received it had a kind of blue highlight box. That doesn't appear any more either.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Nothing out of the ordinary but the problem is fixed.
I downloaded the combo update and then decided I'd go back to 10.4 and update from there. However, it wouldn't let me do an archive and install and told me the software couldn't be installed.
So I took out Diskwarrior to clean things up and that wouldn't work either. It kept freezing when 'locating directory info' or something similar.
So I decided I'd start back up again and have a look around on the web to see if I could find any answers to that and lo and behold everything is working perfectly again.
Most strange.
