Mailbox shows -1 new messages

Hi All,
I have two mailboxes setup on my iPhone one is using POP3 and the other is a Gmail account. The POP3 account is working fine.
However, the Gmail account constantly lists the number of new message off by 1 and when there are no new message it shows the count as -1. When there is only 1 new message, my iPhone does not show any new message however when I go to the inbox it does not download the new message only saying "Load 1 More Message..." This has been going on for the last 2 weeks.
I have tried deleting and recreating the email box, but no luck it still does not work properly. I've looked over Apple's site but I cannot find any help.
Does anyone know what is going on?

Hey JNeff,
Is the GMail account setup as POP or IMAP?
If its setup as POP another email client may have removed the 1 message from the server.
This article will walk you through enabling IMAP.

Also make sure you iPhone is updated.

You might want to try removing they email account and setting it back up again

Mail icons not showing in new message

When I create a new message in Mail there are no icons at the top just text. Is there a way to change it back to displaying both? What is strange is that otherwise (when I reply for instance or in the Toolbar) both icon and text are there.

You can customize the defaults for new mail messages:

and the top right corner has a clear oval, click that to show the icons.

Mail shows 70 new messages but I have none. This only started a few weeks ago. Rebooting didn't fix the problem.

Mail shows 70 messages but I have none. Why is that? Can it be corrected?

When you say you have none, are you sure that you are viewing "All Inboxes"? If not, try going back (top left option) until you see that option. If there are no new messages in "All Inboxes" then the messages might be in folders or smart folders.
Folders/Smartfolders
If you have sorting rules set up on your Mac's Mail app, then these "new" messages are in those folders. These messages will not show up in "All Inboxes." This might be what is happening. To find out, open up each folder/smartfolder on your Mac and see if there are new messages in them because iOS devices (iPod/iPhone/iPad) will not sort mail like your Mac.

Yahoo mail showing 10 new messages but.....

Hi, i've got a first gen iPhone and have a Yahoo mail account on it. Today I noticed that it suddenly has a little red circle with a "10" in it on my mail icon on Iphone home screen, Its correct in saying that I have 10 emails in my inbox but there all open so why is it displaying this, it should only display that for new mail until i've opened them right??
All my mail has been opened and its quite annoying seeing a little 10 there all the time, how do i remove this??
cheers

This is still a problem for me. I've tried EVERYTHING! I have deleted my IMAP account then manually set it up on my iPhone... still 2 unread showing in Inbox, I have looked through my account through web access and made sure everything was marked as read... I have deleted my account and resynced through iTunes... I have updated to 1.1.1 with no help. It's really starting to get frustrating as it has shown 2 unread messages for over a month now. Any advice???

How do I get my iPhone3 to stop showing 2 new messages in the inbox when they are none there?

The mailbox icon on my iPhone has the little red bubble with a number 2 next to it, but when I go to my inbox, I don't see any unread messages. Is there something I did wrong? What do you suggest I do? Thanks!

Hey jel177!
It seems like you may need to turn off your iTunes in the Cloud features and download or sync the songs manually to your phone. Here is a link that can help you adjust those settings:

Outlook 14.4.8 not synchronizing with Exchange 2007 anymore (shows "downloading" but no new messages shown in inbox"

Outlook 14.4.8 on iMAC Retina and Yosemite 10.10.2 is not synchronizing with Exchange 2007 anymore (shows "downloading" but no new messages shown in inbox".
Accessing Mails with Webbrowser and from Windows Outlook is working correctly.
All Macs (also the ones with OS 10.6.8) do not anymore show any new messages in inbox.
Restarted Server, tried to disable autodiscover on macs and deleting/adding account and repairing database does not fix the problem. Also restarted server several times.
We have the same problem on 2 imacs retina with yosemite and on 2 mac pro with 10.6.8 and different office 2011 versions.
i tried to configure the exchange account in apple mail on yosemite and it also states "connected" and does list some folders but no new mails are getting in.
Windows clients and outlook on them works and syncs fine, and also when connecting via webbrowser at owa it must be a mac-specific/webdav issue.
exchange 2007 Sp3 Version 8.3 (bild 83.6) and Update Rollup 15 for sp3 (automatic updates "HIGH" for server and clients)
there is one update popping up again and again even after everytime successull installation: Windows Mlicious Software Removal Tool x64 - October 2010.
i tried to configure a new user with empty mailbox and configured it with microsoft mail (mac - yosemite) as exchange and was able to send a mail from there (even if quite delayed).
but there are not coming in any mails.
same exchange accounts triggered by imap do work and also via owa.
Exchange Accounts in Outlook for MAC and also in Mail (Yosemite) do show the folder structures but there is no mails showing up. I can send mails from the exchange accounts created but they seem to be processed with a delay of like 15minutes and outlook
is giving error "end of file reached" but messages are send after some time.
Does seem like EWS is extremely slow, to slow perhaps to sync and therefore ending in timeout.
Also i cannot reach the server from externally over ssl https 443. if testing port 443 of exchange from outside the port seems closed even firewall settings of sbs 2008 and sonicwall ports are correctly open.
could it be there is something in regarding webdav which is very slow and leading to timeouts ?
in application log i do have the following two information events every few minute:

Hi,
Since Outlook running on Windows works well, it seems an issue on the Mac side. I suggest ask Mac for help so that you can get more professional suggestions.
More information for your reference:
Please try to verify whether there is any expired certificate from the computer personal store.
If it is the case, please remove them.

If you have a memory card, check to see if the phone is still storing messages in the same place. Example, if the phone is currently set to store messages on the phone memory, switch it to the memory card and see if the messages then show up.

1 new message showing but no message in app?

I have 1 message showing but when I open the app I have no new messages. I have deleted all of my messages but it still shows a new message is waiting. Does anybody else have this and how can I delete it?
Thanks

Try quitting the Messages app (Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up)
then
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

Mail: New Message Count Doesn't Show

I'm using Lion.
One of my account inboxes (but not all) does not show the new message count. All of my accounts use Gmail IMAP. The Badge shows up in the Dock, but inside of Mail, that account does not indicate that there is new mail.
Suggestions?

Thanks to MaxB who helped me, and may help you:
I completely forgot about this post. I was able to resolve the issue when I went into my email account settings and changed my user name from just XYZ to [email protected] and when I saved the changes the count instantly updated after a restart of Mail.
I hope this works for you too.

Why is Mail showing new messages when nothings there?

I decided to delete the Apple RSS feed from my mail, and suddenly the mail icon on shows 17 new messages (the same amount that were present in the RSS feed when it was deleted) and I don't know how to get it to stop showing it.
This is really ******* me off because I never wanted a RSS feed in the first place, now that I get rid of it, I'm stuck with this huge red "17" on my mail icon.
So can somebody tell me how to get rid of it?

Nevermind. For some reason when I attempted to quit mail, the new messages dissappeared.

Voicemail icon lists new message when there isn't one

I have an iPhone 2g and recently upgraded to the 2.0 software. For the past two days, the phone icon (and then the voicemail section within it) shows one new message, but I've deleted all the voicemails I have. Why is this? How can I help my iPhone understand that the voice mailbox is empty?

same thing happened to me...i turned the phone completely off by holding the on/off switch on top. It asks you to "slide" the br to turn it off...do that...wait a few seconds and turn it back on.
It seems if you have a week signal, check the vmail and delete with the week symbol, the hone doesn't register you ever listened or deleted the message. Hope that helps!

Mail Icon shown 1 new message but I cant find it.

My Mail icon shows 1 new message but I have double checked every folder in Mail and cant find it. Could anyone help its really buggin me.

Greetings,
There isn't a new message, but this indicates that your Mail index needs to be rebuilt. Select All the messages in that account (Command-A) and then choose Message>Mark as Read (if it doesn't give you that option, then choose Mark as Unread and then go back and choose Mark as Read). If you select the account in question, then go to Mailbox>Rebuild, Mail will rebuild the index for that account; then you shouldn't have any new messages indicated.
