Message count incorrect

I'm using 10.8.2 on an iMac, together with Fastmail as an email provider. The Get Account Info function in mail shows message counts in my IMAP mail boxes that match Fastmail's various webmail interfaces. The actual messages displayed don't reach these totals, however. They're always 5-20 messages short, even with all conversation features turned off. Postbox 3.06 and Outlook 2011 don't have these issues. Is this some sort of known Mail issue, and some esoteric problem with Fastmail? Any hints would be welcome. I don't much care for Outlook, but I also don't want to accidentally lose some email I'll need later.

Mine has an unread count of 6, and it's really annoying. This would definitely be my favorite new feature of the new Mail by far if only it worked correctly.
I've been using a "new mail" smart mailbox for some time now, so that doesn't take care of it. I've also deleted all my RSS feeds (use Google Reader anyway), gone through every mailbox and marked everything as read, and restarted Mail several times. The weird thing is that this happened before (unread count was 2), went away for a few days, and now it's doing it again. Unless there are some mail messages getting diverted somewhere else that aren't showing up in Mail, I'm not quite sure what the problem is, but it really is mighty distracting.

Ipad air email, unread message count incorrect

ipad air email, unread message count incorrect.
Exchange email account via activesync.
All messages are sync'd to the device.

Contact your exchange account administrator, they should be able to fix this for you.

Why is my email unread message count incorrect?

I have no unread messages but the count reads 34. This same problem is happening on my iPhone too! It's very aggravating!

I have been having the same problem with my MS Exchange email account. I discovered that the auto archive function was causing my problem. I discovered that I had some unread messages in one of my archive folders so I marked them as unread and the count corrected itself on the Ipad.

Verizon messaging shows incorrect message count

I have installed the Verizon messaging app on my iPhone 6+ (iOS 8.2). The app continually shows a base message count of 13 messages even after I delete all messages both in the app or through the web interface. How can I zero the message count on the app?

borg_cube, I know that can be frustrating and annoying at the same time. I can help get this resolved for you. Occasionally, the message waiting indicator may be out of sync with your mailbox. In that case, the indicator light or tone is ON but there are no messages waiting, or the indicator light or tone is OFF when there are new messages waiting. To get the message indicator back in sync 1. Save or delete all new messages 2. Hang up. 3. If the message indicator does not go out or stop within a few minutes, there may be a problem, and you should contact Verizon. 4. If the message indicator does go out or stop, call your own number and leave a message 5. Hang up and wait 6. If the indicator light or tone does not come on within a few minutes, please let us know.

Incorrect message count in Mail.app inbox (not unread message count)

In Mail.app my inbox is empty but I have a current count of about 4.3 billion messages (varies some). Does anyone know a fix for this? I have 3 IMAP accounts set up as well as several RSS feeds. This is not a major problem since the new message count is usually correct (except for some minor issues updating the GMail count) but is a nuisance still.

It is not the answer to "billions", but click on View and see which is offered: Hide Deleted Messages or Show Deleted Messages, and whether shown in gray or black type?
Perhaps you should use Rebuild on each individual Inbox. If you do, be aware that all messages seem to disappear, before returning, so do not panic and do anything until Rebuild is finished.

Unread message count is wrong in Mail and Dock

Just last week I noticed that both my Email Inbox & Mail Dock Icon is showing an incorrect unread message count on both my MacBook & iMac. I am using a Microsoft Exchange Hosted account (Office 365) and it is the only email account tied to both of my Macs. My iPhone shows the correct unread message count as well as Outlook Web Access, and on a seperate windows-based computer, Outlook is showing the correct unread message count of 3. Both Mac systems are using OS X 10.7.3 and I have never experienced this issue before.
The MacBook is showing 39 unread messages, and the iMac is showing 16, in actuality there are 3 unread messages. If I create a smart mailbox that shows only unread messages - it shows up with the correct number (3), when I sort by "Unread Messages" for Inbox, it only shows that I have three unread messages.
I have rebuilt the inbox, I have deleted the email account from the computer, restarted the computer and then readded it, all it did was bring the unread message count from 19 to 16 on my iMac (still - it should be 3).
I have also gone to Mail -> Preferences -> General and verified that Show Dock Unread County is set to "Inbox" but oddly enough, when I click "All Mailboxes" the unread count on the Dock changes to 3.
Is there a file I can delete to reset that unread message count? I feel like I've done everything that's suggested to no avail.
Thanks!

There is a small glitch, and you guys are close.
In Mail Preferences under General, there is the option for:
Dock Unread Count --
Your choices in the dropdown are either:
None
Inbox Only
All Boxes
The problem is that I've often seen the Inbox Only is checkmarked, and stays as checkmarked, even when you last told it to use either None or All Boxes.
It is possible that Alconic see's Inboxes Only checkmarked, when in fact it's All mailboxes that are set to be showing.
Try to re-check "Inbox only" even though it's already checked and see what happens...

At the bottom of the page Settings > Messages you should have a section headed "SMS/MMS" Turn MMS messaging on then you can turn group message on.

In full screen mail, message count vanishes

I'm not sure if this is a Mavericks issue, or has always been an issue. When I use mail with the message viewer as a regular window, the count of messages in the mailbox I'm looking at shows in the window bar. But when I switch to full screen, the count vanishes. Am I missing something?

You're not missing something. When an app is made Full Screen, its title bar is removed. This is true for all apps; though most don't suffer from the loss of a feature the way Mail does.
If you want to see how many messages are in the currently-selected mailbox without leaving Full Screen, move your cursor to the top of the screen to reveal the Menu Bar, click on the "Window" menu and the very last item displayed in the dropdown will be the window title, which includes the message count in parenthesis. Alternatively, you can right-click (two-finger click if on a trackpad) on Mail's icon in the Dock, and it will show you the window name with the message count in parenthesis. Both options are less convenient than glancing at the menu bar, but at least you can remain in Full Screen.

Unread message count not updating in Mail.app

I am running a MBP 15" with 10.4.10 and Mail.app (version 2.1.1 build 752.3) and as you can see in this screengrab here:
the unread message count is not correctly updating.
This may actually be something for the Mail dev' team to handle, unless some one else out there in the groups has some inside knowledge about this issue.
For that matter, I do not know how to forward this to the Mail dev' team inside Apple, so if any one else does, please do.
Cheers.

Jason,
What screengrab?
What type of account do you have -- POP, IMAP or .mac? How many accounts do you have? Do you access your account from more than one computer?
Unread message count where -- on the Mail Icon in the Dock or in individual mailboxes? In the Dock, the Unread message count will NOT reflect any messages moved to custom mailboxes by Rules, but only those in the Inboxes.

Inbox and Drafts show unread message count of all folders within. Can I get the local folders to do this too?

I'm filtering mail into folders in the local folder tree. There may be two or three levels, e.g., Local Folders -> Lists -> OS -> MacOSX. Mail that is unread in the MacOSX folder is counted and displayed when the MacOSX folder is visible. However, keeping the entire tree on display is a nuisance and it is long, so I don't see things ate the bottom. I have to scroll to reveal the rest of the items in the folder tree. For these reasons I'd prefer to have the folder tree in its minimal state.
Is it possible to have the the top level folders display an unread message count for all the enclosed folders?

when I collapse the folder tree of local folders, it shows the unread count for sub folders.

Problem with message count

hello ,
I have problem with message count, in my inbox there are more than 0 messages but i got result of
Folder inbox = store.getFolder("Inbox")
int c =inbox.getMessageCount()
of c is 0
i.e i got c as zero rather than 5.

I am seeing the same thing and I agree with MathiasF's observation. My count seems to increase when I do a search for mail on the server. This has happened previously (iOS 5.x) but ending the Mail app always fixed it. The only way I can correct the count now is if I turn off sync for Mail on the Exchange account and re-enable. This clears my mail and causes my phone to go out and redownload. Rebooting and resetting the iPhone has not helped.
I'm on Sprint - 32GB White iPhone 4S running iOS 6.0 (10A403)

Message count on Queues

Hello,
I am new to JMS, i am using WebLogic 8.1 SP5, any built in API is available to find message count on specific queue. That means if i pass queue name to weblogic method that should be return message count or any other way to find message count?
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
-Soma

JMS does not specify anything to count the number of messages in a queue.
All you can do it to browse the queue with a QueueBrowser to know how many messages you have. But this can be very time (and memory) consuming if you have 1000 or more messages present in the JMS queue.
Anyway, I don't think it is of particular interest to figure out how many messages you have in a queue ...
All you are concerned with is what you need to do when messages arrive in the queue !

Unread messages count is wont for Smart Mailbox

Has anyone else noticed that a smart mailbox has a non-zero unread message count but as soon as it is clicked on the count is reset to zero? Zero is correct because all of the messages have been read. I've tried rebuilding the inbox but it hasn't helped. I also recreated the smart mailbox but that didn't help either. Sounds like a bug to me but I wonder if others have experienced it. I am using Mail Tags so that is a possible complication.

Same problem here with Yahoo mail. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have looked at Yahoo mail from all folders in my phone (running 7.0.3 now), as well as in a browser, looked at Inbox (empty), all Trash, Sent, etc. folders and they're completely empty on Yahoo servers.
I thought that 7.0.3 had initially cleared up this issue but it has reappeared, and I don't know how to fix it.

Disabling certain mail accounts from "new message count" in Mail dock icon

Hi,
I'd like to disable two of my mail accounts from affecting the new message count that appears over mail's dock icon. How might I do this?
Thanks in advace

the only option you have is to choose between all mailboxes and inbox, in mail>preferences>general
other than that, you may want to look at plugins such as dockstar to do more customization of the notification features: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/dockstar/
hope this helps
