Mail says I have 38 new messages but there not there

Yesterday I downloaded new mail...I didn't read them all so i clossed mail and was going to check it later. I opened mail toaday and it still says I have 38 unread messgaes but there not in the inbox; it's empty.
I really don't need to read the messages but how do I get the mail count in the dock to reset?

This is what I wanted - thanks.
Everything looks normal so try the following:
Quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > Envelope Index. Delete the Envelope Index file and empty the Trash.
Launch Mail and you will be prompted to import all mailboxes available within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail.
Select OK and allow the import process to complete. This isn't really importing anything but replacing the deleted Envelope Index file and re-indexing all mailboxes.
After confirming all mailboxes are available, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder placed on the Desktop.
Hopefully this will resolve the problem.
I'm getting ready to drive home from the coast which is a 4-5 hour drive so I won't be available again until 5:30 or so central time today.

LG Lucid 3: How can I get rid of the text message indicator? It says I have a text message, but I do not.

I have a new LG Lucid 3 and the text message indicator says I have a new message, but I do not. Messaging is empty when I click on it. How can I get rid of the "1" indicator? I tried turning the phone on and off and that did not work.

Thanks for trying, Anzivina! You've done some strong troubleshooting. Although I do wish it had resolved this matter, I believe we still have options. You've indicated that you've done a factory reset. Can you walk me through the steps you took to get there? Also, after the factory reset, how long before this message indicator appeared again? Was it before or after you restored all your personal data?

Won't get juno mail messages says there are no new messages but there are.

I installed Thunderbird for my multiple email accounts. Works fine with yahoo, aol, and Gmail. But, it will not get any messages from my web based Juno account. I've double checked all the settings (pop incoming, port 995, smpt outgoing, SSL encryption, etc.) and nothing works. I keep getting a message saying there are no new messages, but there are multiple new messages in the account. It does send.
Thanks

Thunderbird connects to mail providers using the POP and IMAP mail protocols. If the provider does not support these protocols (or blocks access to them for certain customers) then Thunderbird can not work with that provider.
Have you followed these steps
To begin getting Juno email on your phone or other email program, change your Juno email settings with these simple steps:
1. Sign in to your Juno Email on the Web at webmail.juno.com
2. Click on "Options" and select "General," or click on "Settings" and select "POP Mail" under "Preferences"
3. Select "ON - POP my mail to my desktop/smartphone"
4. Click "Save" to finish

Mute button says "you have no new messages"

I've been having a problem with my Torch since I downloaded updates to a few apps the other day. Now any time the Mute button on the top right of the Torch is hit, a chime sounds and a few seconds later a woman's voice says "you have no new messages". My phone is always on silent, but the voice and chime still sound at full volume. This happens frequently as the button gets triggered when my phone is in my pocket. Anyone else have this issue, and hopefully know of how to disable it??

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Excellent! Turns out it was caused by BeBuzz, which blackberry was giving away for free as a premium app along with Drive Safe.ly like Bill.J mentioned above. I deleted BeBuzz (first thing I tried deleting thankfully!) Now my mute but works and I don't get the "you have no new messages" voice. Thank you Krypto and BillJ, your help was very much appreciated, that voice was driving me nuts!

My email says I have four new emails, but only have three marked as unread?

My email says I have four new emails, but only have three marked as unread? I've tried turning "badge app icon" off and on, as well as deactivating and reactivating account and still having same problems.

Hang on...
You can only authorise the songs you purchase from the iTunes Store to play on five computers.
You can download and install iTunes (the iTunes programme) onto as many computers as you wish.
Two different things.
Assuming therefore, that your problem is that you have authorised five computers, but now no longer have some of them, you need to de-authorise all your computers and then re-authorise the computers you still have.
To de-authorise your computers, go to your account in the iTunes Store and look for the Deauthorise All button.

Mail says I have 11 unread messages in the Dock - but I don't

Just did a clean install of Leopard and copied my Mail legacy folders over from backup. But now the Dock says I have 11 unread messages (that's what the little red starburst means, right?). But when I go into Mail I can't find any unread messages any where. I have the preference turns on that displays the number of unread messages in a given box, but none of my boxes are showing a number. I've also opened all of the boxes for a visual review and simply can't find any unread messages anywhere.
I know it's a small thing, but it's driving me nuts...
Thanks,
M.

Thanks, Ernie—
Two accounts. No third-party apps. I see a little red starburst (spiky ball with a white number within) in the Dock. Says 11. But I can't find any unread messages. But I should have mentioned that my "Drafts" folder shows a five. Is this a new thing with Leopard? I don't think Mail used to count Drafts in Tiger. Could those be contributing to the 11? Still can't find the other six...
I'll try rebuilding the mailboxes and see if that helps.
Best,
M.

Says it's receiving new messages, but WON'T

When I open Mail it says it is receiving over 2,000 new messages, but doesn't actually load any new mail. It goes through the loading and everything, but nothing shows up. I tried taking the account offline and back online, as well as removing the account and readding it. Nothing works! Any help?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
In the Mail application, from the Menu Bar, click Mailbox and scroll down and click Rebuild.
And more help here if necessary. http://www.tuaw.com/2006/04/12/mail-slowing-you-down-rebuild-its-database/
From the Apple Help Index. Rebuilding a mailbox can take awhile; it’s recommended for fast Internet connections only.

Osx mac mail cant reply or start new message, but stores as unworkable drafts

osx mac mail suddenly cant reply or start new message, but stores as unworkable drafts
Dont think I did anything to provoke this, can still access on server sites, but heh I'm used to to mac mail

As per usual, I spend days working on a problem, finally give up and post to the discussion groups, THEN find the solution. It was the Signature file. It had either become corrupt (it contains graphics) or the bug fixes in 10.5.5 didn't like it. Either way, removed the sig file and everything works great again! Thanks!

7.1.3 will not install, Says I have a "Newer Version", but none installed!

Okay,
As I'm sure most people have noticed,the new build of iTunes is not running smoothly. I've tried to install the updated build but it wouldn't work. It installed iTunes and the New Quicktime. It failed to open. So I do what apple tells me to: Try re-installing it.
But after uninstalling both to try and reinstall, iTunes won't install quicktime anymore. And when I try to use the standalone Quicktime installer, it tells me that I cannot install because I have a newer version than 7.1.3 on my computer!And when I install iTunes (without it installing quicktime, on it's own mind you)and then open it, it says I must have Quicktime installed to use it. Even my Quickitme plugins for my internet don't work!
I know this is impossible. And I've tried to rectify it every way I know how. Delete the remaining files in Windows and Program Files, use the Windows Installer Clean Up tool, try re-installing in safe mode, BUT NOTHING WORKS! I'd really like to use the new iTunes but I can't do anything with it untill I fix the quicktime problem.
If anyone can help, it'd be much appreciated. Thank you.

Rob,
There is no quicktime folder there. And no quicktime program is installed when I try to install iTunes. The only reason I tried installing quicktime in standalone was because the itunes install was not actively going to the quicktime part of its installation.
I've tried removing everything and only installing iTunes. But even after deleting the physical files, using the WIndows Install cleanup tool, and cleaning up my registry, the quicktime portion of the iTunes install doesn't complete, and I keep getting "unknown" errors from the crash prevention program, and from what I can see it's because there's no physical Quicktime program installed.
As for other accounts, no I cannot start it up with other accounts, I keep getting the "Unknown" error and there is no physical files for quicktime anywhere.
And selective startup doesn't seem to work as there is NO qttask option when I run selective startup.
So, I seem to be out of options, and thing else I could try?

Mail says I have 5 unread messages, and yet I do not.

Just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, and the software seems to think that I have 5 unread messages. I tried running through all the mail, restarted it, and then hard reset it. Still shows 5 unread. Any suggestions?

I had the same issue. Turns out I had my mac open and the mail was being pulled there but not on my phone. I deleted the messages on my mac and the indicator went away. It could be a bug, I would submit feedback if that is the case http://www.apple.com/feedback/. That is probably what I will do.

HT4993 iMessage is saying I have 8 new message when I don't. Can't get rid of it.

I have tried restarting my phone multiple times, turning on/off imessanger, sending myself a message, and it won't go away. It doesn't say I have any messages in the notification bar, or when I open my messages, only the "8" notification on the message app.

Hi Jodyw1
You can't drag the margins around. Those blue lines you are creating are called alignment guides - they don't print.
When you open the inspector, click the far left icon called the Document Inspector. In there you will see numerical values for your document margins. This is the starting point for every page.
The second icon from the left is called the Layout Inspector. This allows you to adjust the margin in a particular section from the document margin.
Finally, make sure you have Show Comments turned off i.e. you can see Show Comments in the View Menu.
I hope that helps.

Why does my mail badge icon say I have 58 unread messages but when I look they are all read ?

Why can I not clear my unread emails mail badge, when I check I've read them all in both hotmail and iCloud accounts ?

Why would you suggest this?
1. You can't delete the mail app as its a preintalled Apple App.
2. Trying to delete it will do nothing to the message count.
Its better to not answer if you are not sure of your answers., and let someone else answer instead.
Anyway atgreen:
Like Nathan-D suggests, Look in your other folders, like Junk or Spam for unread emails there.
In the Mailboxes list scroll down to the list of accounts tap on each one to see all the folders and go through them to make sure there are no undread emails there.
He is sure of his answer. Reread the steps, he isn't suggesting to delete the app, but to close it. See the first step, "double click the home button", this brings up the open apps at the bottom. Holding on the mail app brings up the "-" to close Mail. If he were trying to delete an app, you get an "x", but Apple apps don't even show that "x".
Closing the app will cause it to reset the notification flags in the app, that is why it was suggested. If that doesn't work, then he may need to reset the iPad.
Your and Nathan-D's suggestion to check for unread messages in other folders is also valid, but it is only the inboxes that are reflected on the icon.
