Mail Reports Incorrect Number of Emails

Sometimes when Mail downloads messages, it reports more messages than it actually downloads. For example, I just Bounced a Spam email and when the message came back from the Post Office saying the address was invalid, Mail reported downloading 2 messages when only one appeared. Any ideas why this happens?

That's your IMAP mailbox syncing all copies.

  • Microsoft Junk E-mail Reporting Add-on bouncing Emails after EOP migration

    Our organization recently migrated from FOPE to Exchange Online Protection. Users who have the
    Microsoft Junk E-mail Reporting Add-on installed on their Outlook desktop client now receive the following email message when reporting Junk Mail:
    Delivery is delayed to these recipients or groups:
    [email protected]
    Subject: Delayed Mail (still being retried)
    This message hasn't been delivered yet. Delivery will continue to be attempted.
    Is there a fix for this issue? Is there an alternate Add-on or should we uninstall the existing one from our Outlook clients?
    Thanks,
    Jason.

    Hi,
    Sometimes some add-ins may take more time to load in Outlook, it depends on the performance of your machine and if you have multiple add-ins enabled, please consider disable some if you don't use them a lot.
    Since you haven't mentioned which version of Outlook you are using, please note for Outlook 2013 users, we can try disabling the hardware graphics acceleration to check if this can help improve the performance:
    Go to FILE tab -> Options -> Advanced
    -> Display -> Uncheck Disable hardware graphics acceleration
    -> OK.
    Let me know if you have any other question.
    Thanks,

  • Incorrect number of emails displayed

    Hello,
    I've found that when I open Mail, the amount of emails displayed in the title bar is vastly inaccurate. It varies from telling me I have billions of emails to saying I have hundreds and in reality that figure is nowhere near being right.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? It still happens if I quit and restart Mail (although not always every time)
    Thanks
    Steph

    It sounds like Mail's Envelope Index file is confused or corrupted. You can try to fix that by quitting Mail, then going to Users/(your username>/Library/Mail and moving the Envelope Index file to your Desktop, but do not delete it.
    Launch Mail and import your messages, which will rebuild a new Envelope Index, which should have the correct numbers.

  • Export list of senders in mail box (and number of emails received from them)

    I, like many people I know, have allowed my email inbox to get out of control. I want to unsubscribe to the accounts that spam me most. But first, I would like to export a list of all the senders for each individual email in my inbox. I would like to identify the accounts that spam me most often so I can address them first (Pareato Principle ).
    I DO NOT want a list of senders only, I also need to know the quantity of emails I have received from them. Does anyone know how to export this information into an excel file?
    Thanks!

    Sorry that did not bring the mail back either.

  • TS3276 Mail putting incorrect sender with email

    Yesterday I discovered I wasn't receiving all my email on Mail on my iMac. I knew they were missing because I saw them on my iPad and wanted to reply from my iMac. I also checked my account on my browser. I rebooted, checked accounts, re-entered my password, online status, etc., when finally today, it re-loaded. Now it's really messed up!!! The sender doesn't correspond with the emails!!!
    I upgraded to Mountain Lion a few weeks ago and didn't notice anything weird, but maybe it's been happening longer than just this past week. I don't think so, though. Mail has always worked beautifully before.
    Thank you for any help/suggestions.

    Thanks, guys . . .
    I kind of knew that Mail couldn't possibly be sending emails to people without my being aware of it but I just wanted to double check.
    As far as the other email programs go, for some insane reason all the ones I try (Thunderbird, for one) have problems connecting with my SMTP (outgoing) server. In one case, there's no way to change my account setting from IMAP to POP . . . the way these programs are set up, just configuring your settings requires a B.S. in network technology . . . every time these things happen, I end up on the phone with the local ISP for two hours and most of them have no idea what a Mac is  . . .
    I think in this case I wll just stick wth the Devil I Know. Every email program has its drawbacks and Mail is clunky and unintuitive but thank God, it integrates with SpamSieve, the only junk mail killer that really, really works (I just learned how WELL it works when I tried Thunderbird and it downloaded all the mail I'm REALLY getting s opposed to the mail that I end up seeing -- for every legit email that SpamSieve lets through, there are at least 75 that it doesn't. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm inundated with at LEAST 400 junk emails A DAY for my two accounts and without SpamSieve I'd be in the First Circle of ****, but I digress).
    It's been a year now with Mail and although I despise it at least now I think I'm getting used to it, and your reassurances about people getting unwanted mail definitely removed my last doubts.
    I'll stick with Mail, since the others don't look exactly like champs either, and just pray Apple doesn't "Upsdate" anything for a good long while.
    Cheers, mates

  • Outlook Issue reporting incorrect number of recipients

    I have an issue at my work, unsure whether its an Outlook Issue, Exchagne or AD where when you send a new email to a dynamic distriubtion group. The part above the To field states something like this.
    This e-mail message will be sent to 396 recipients.
    Now this particular group when queried on exchange 2010 has only 22 recipients and actually sending the email and then running a trace shows it was delivered to only 22 recipients. The group is dynamic using canned queries from an OU in AD.
    Its the only list that does this, any explanations?

    Test it throuhg OWA and let me know the result.
    Go to EMC and find the specific to check if there is any Recipients Maximum limits from Mail Flow > Delivery Options. You may also check the Message Size Restrictions on the same location.
    Thanks.

  • When I check my boot SSD drive using Disk Utility under Mavericks, I often get "Incorrect number of extended attributes" errors.  But if I boot off an external drive and check the same SSD, no errors are reported.  Is this a bug in Mavericks?

    When I check my boot SSD drive using Disk Utility under Mavericks, I often get "Incorrect number of extended attributes" errors.  But if I boot off an external drive and check the same SSD, no errors are reported. 
    This happens not just with the SSD in my Mac Mini, but with another SSD in my MacBook (both now running Mavericks).  So far as I know, all of the kit I am using is in good order (despite the file corruption reports).  So I am beginning to wonder if it could be due to a bug in Mavericks?  Both SSD drives have been formatted to MacOS Extended (journaled) format.  Should I have used a different format, I wonder?
    Has anyone else encountered this issue?
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Or an explanation that might help my investigation of the issue?
    Thanks guys,

    I understand that the Corsair Force 3 is not one of the SSD drives that are supported on Apple Macs. 
    I did try downloading and using Trim Enabler, but the error message came up both when it was off and when it was on.
    I understand that not everyone thinks Trim Enabler is a good program, though there is a new version out now, so I may give it another try.

    If you have a decent mail provider like Microsoft Hotmail or Outlook.com mail it does.
    If you have Gmail it does not.  Quite right. Gmail is rubbish.

  • How do you show the number of emails in Mail folders?

    Hi,
    I'm a little lost with the new Mail format.
    It was really helpful for me to know the number of emails that were in my Mail folders - it used to tell me at the top. But since I upgraded to Yosemite, I don't see that as an option. Can someone tell me - is there a way to make this feature come back?
    Thank you!
    Bob

    I've never seen "1 of XX" in OS X that I can recall. Often, iOS will show that.
    In OS X, typically, you'll see the number of messages in the titlebar (i.e. Unread (22 messages)). However, there seems to be an issue that if you view a smart folder, when you go back to the Inbox, you don't see the number of messages anymore. If you quit and restart Mail, the number appears. Perhaps that's what you're seeing?

    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!

  • TS3899 I can't find the 'sync settings' in the mail settings to limit the number of emails in my account

    I can't find the 'sync settings' in the mail settings to limit the number of emails stored on my ipad.

    That option depends on what kind of mail account it is. On an Exchange account, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Tap the account and you should see "Mail days to sync." If that option isn't there, you won't be able to change it. You could always clean up your inbox on the server.

  • HT201320 How do I limit the number of emails in ios7? On older software I could limit mail to 50 or so.

    I have thousands of email in my Verizon account. Now that I've upgraded to ios7, they're all stored on my phone and it keeps locking up. In older versions of the software I could limit the number of emails on my phone. I can't find that setting in ios7. Any ideals?

    Thanks, but issue of pain for me is on opposite side, as per thread above:
    I do not want so many emails stored on iPad storage.
    All I want to be able to limit emails stored to, say, last 3 days.
    If older emails are available available only via search on server , I am fine that.
    With this change in iOS7 Apple undertook shameless effort to press users to buy more expensive higher strife devices, and for sooner depreciation of previous line of models.

  • Grey screen and "incorrect number of thread records"

    I think I am in trouble. My eMac will not boot and gets stuck on the great screen with the Apple logo and the spinning windmill. I have followed the instructions in the Apple help article up to but not including "archive and install".

  • Mail says its sending double emails

    When I send a single email in the apple mail program, the progress report says it's sending two emails.  When receiving emails it also exaggerates the number of emails that it is downloading from the server, e.g. it will say it's receiving four emails, but only receives two.  It's not necessarily proportional each time and can be random numbers. Can anyone explain this.  It is consistent that it always says it's downloading more emails than I receive in my inbox. Have checked junk mail and this doesn't account for it.  Am using OSX 10.9.4. Any advice appreciated.

    It is a bug in Mail. The only way to reset is to quit and reopen Mail.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Is there a limit to the number of email addresses in one message?

    Hello
    Is there a limit to the number of email addresses in one message with Mac Mail?
    I am trying to send out to c900 email addys and am being told my server does not recognise the email addresses. I will check with the folks hosting the email also.
    Many thanks
    Matthew Causon

    Ooh, yes, 900 emails at once will absolutely not work (unless you get very very lucky).
    If this is just a one-off, you should group the addresses into, at the very most, 50 addresses, and send batches. If you're doing this a lot, I would recommend using something like DirectMail.
