MobileMe inbox showing gmail messages

I have both gmail and mobileme accounts on my iPhone. This morning for some reason, my MobileMe inbox is showing old messages from my gmail account (from last October) and none of my previous (yesterday and prior) MobileMe emails--I can send a test message to MobileMe and it does come in okay. All my messages are fine in the cloud as verified by webmail, so the device isn't syncing properly. I have disabled my gmail account on my phone. I have tried deleting and re-adding my MobileMe account. I have rebooted the phone. No dice. Weird. Any ideas?

Yes, I do have mail rules. Disabeling them and rebuilding the mailbox didn't help much.
The topics referenced by your links might have a relation to my issue.
I wouldn't necessarily agree that this is an Exchange issue. It's the way Exchange does it
l would argue if other none Exchange client can handle these messages (e.g. Thunderbird) why not Mail.app?
I think the problem is probably more directly related to the Junk Mail handling in Mail.app.
I have Mail.app set to move Junk mail to the Mail.app Junk Mail folder.
Mails in this folder do not show up in my Mail.app INBOX but (of course) in the Exchange INBOX.

Empty inbox showing 424 messages

I'm still having problems with an empty inbox showing 424 messages. Any solutions yet?

Inbox showing 0 messages or correct # of new msg but old state on click

I think the problem occurs for many users but couldn't find a post giving a summary of this issue.
System:
one account,
IMAP/Exchange
10.4.10/10.4.11
Problem:
Starting from normal operation at some point the INBOX seems to become inconsistent.
I think the problem is related to switching environments -> going from LAN to WLAN or UMTS network connections.
What I mean by this is that the problem often times occurs right after you swichted network connection and start mail again. Not 100% sure though...
There are actually two flavors of the problem:
A) INBOX (yes only INBOX!) going to 0 messages
Although there are messages in the INBOX (around 200) mail will show 0 messages.
Normal measures like, get new mail, sync account, rebuild will not make messages reappear.
B) INBOX shows correct number of new messages but will to the old state of the inbox before getting new mail
This most often occurs when you click on a different mailbox (like drafts, trash). INBOX will then recieve new messages, progress is shown in the activity window. When finished the INBOX displays the correct number of new messages in the side bar an in the mail icon.
When you actually click on the INBOX, the display will reset (going to a blank INBOX) and then show the state of the INBOX before you told it to get new mail.
Extended measures to resolve the issue sometimes fixes it near-term but the issue will occur after a while.
Extended measures taken are:
- delete/recreate envelope index (probably a hundred times)
- delete/recreate account folder
- recreate account from scratch
- trashed mail.plist
- changed from IMAP to Exchange account type (mail server is Exchange)
- resinstalled mail
- update from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11
Is this a known issue of Mail 2.1.1 (752.3)

Inbox showing no messages and no folder tallies in Mail 10.10

Every time I open the Inbox in 10.10 Mail I see nothing but "no messages selected", there is no message list. to get it to refresh the list i need to selected another mailbox and then come back to the Inbox.
Also, now Mail does not show the number of messages in a folder - The first very helpful feature I have noticed that Apple has destroyed in the latest version of their software, along their relentless path of forgetting that they should have computer software too and not just iPhone software....

Hi ..
Open the Mail app.
From the Mail menu bar click Mailbox > Rebuild
Then quit and relaunch the Mail app.
To see how many messages are in a mailbox click a mailbox on the left.
On the right at the top of the Mail window you'll see the name of the mailbox and how many messages it contains.

Mail Now Shows GMAIL messages previously filed!

I am running the very latest version of Mavericks including the Nov. 8 Mail update.
Now in GMAIL, my SENT box shows many emails which I'd previously filed into local folders. Now there are two copies: one in the local folder, the other in SENT.
What setting do I change in GMAIL to fix this? Or is it a problem with Mail?
Thanks,
Frank

First I have made a few screen shots from my Gmail setting you can see these here:
http://googleemailhelp.blogspot.com/2010/03/email-hel-my-settings.html
I further suggest to delete all you accounts and start new with the google account that does not work at this moment.The Google account should be IMAP you see I have also pop accounts.
I would not see a reason that it should not work if you start with this not working account.
Well first have a look at my google account settings,try it out and let me know how it goes

Inbox shows one message unread. I cannot find that message.

I whittled down all unread emails only to find that one message is listed as unread. I cannot find it, despite having gone through all messages back to early 2013.

Right-click Inbox - Mark Folder Read

My inbox shows the single, most recent message only. Missing all other messages.

Hello,
I'm using IMAP. In webmail, my inbox shows many messages. In Thunderbird, my inbox shows only the latest message. My subscribed folders sync just fine.
All insight appreciated!

Thanks for your suggestion. I went through the entire document meticulously and couldn't fix this. I've decided to use a different email client. Appreciate the support. Thanks again.

New gmail messages do not appear in Mail 5 inbox

I have a new Imac and trying to setup email accounts. My Hotmail account has no issues. My gmail account is struggling to put the new messages in the Inbox. The messages appear in the "all mail" down below.
Sometimes the messages will appear in the Inbox and then disappear. The next time I open Mail, the spinning marker will be beside the gmail inbox icon and then not load any messages in the inbox.
Any suggestions?

I assume you are referring to folders you created other than main mailboxes.
Did you checked the Label Section in settings at the gmail site and the box to show in IMAP is checked.
Is IMAP and not POP is enabled in the Forwarding and POP section.
Repair permissions with disk utility and restart the computer.
If it isn't working now, try deleting one of the accounts and add it back in. When you add it back, make sure it is set as IMAP.
You could also create a new user for testing. Log into the new user and create the accounts there. Whether or not it works there will tell us whether or not it is a user account problem or not.

Gmail messages not showing in Apple Mail

My employer just got me a brand new 15" MBP (Oct. 2013 model), running Mavericks 10.9.1. I'm going to use my old 2009 13" MBP for home use. I used Mail.app to view my work email and gmail accounts on my old computer. I had gmail configured in POP, with the idea of not deleting any messages from the gmail server so I could go back if I ever needed to to find a message. Well now I want to keep my email synced between devices, so I configured gmail as IMAP. After about 3 days of continuous downloading, I had the IMAP gmail set up (over 50,000 messages). It was working fine.
I also have a lot of old messages from an old work email account that I like to keep in Mail.app for reference. I imported these from my old Mac to the new mac. No problem. But after I did that, my gmail mailbox showed an unread message count of 50,000 + whatever it was, but no messages were displayed. Unfortunately, I don't have a timemachine backup for this new computer. I deleted the Envelope Index file in the Library/Mail/V2/MailData folder, as someone suggested in a different post and re-imported all messages, but this didnt work.
I have a time machine external drive with my old computer's backups. With the backup drive plugged into my new computer and with Mail.app active, I can click on the time machine icon at the top and select "Browse other backup disks...". I select the old backup drive and it will first show "Today" with the Mail.app open. I can see all my gmail messsages here. Time machine says "Click restore to recover the inbox for Gmail" or something like that. But the "Restore" button is grayed out, cause it's today.
I messed around with .plist and things in the Mail libraries, but nothing changed. Somewhere in my messing around with things, the message count went away. the mailbox setting have not been changed from what they were previously. I know all my messages are still on my mac cause the "[email protected]" folder is still 8.51 GB, which is what it should be.
I was able to import all the gmail emails in to mail via File->Import Mailboxes..., but this puts everything in it's own Import folder and not in the gmail inbox.
Also I can't receive new messages in gmail via Mail.app.
My work email (also set up as IMAP) is working just fine.
I don't want to remove the gmail account and reinstall, spending another 3 or 4 days downloaded all the messages (I don't know why it took that long).
Any help is appreciated.

I "fixed" the problem by copying the entire mail folder from the library on my old mac onto my new mac, replacing the newer mail folder. My old mac had gmail working just fine. Now everything works on my new. This didn't really fix the problem though. I'm not sure what was wrong with it.

Unable to clear inbox, still showing 1 message in inbox on icon when there are no messages in the inbox. How can I clear the 1 message from the icon indicator?

I am unable to clear 1 message in my email inbox showing on the icon. I have tried clearning out all messages in my inbox and it still shows 1 message remaining unread. I erased messages 5 days ago and since then it has been showing 1 message remaining. How can I clear this from the icon? Thanks

Ouit Mail app. (Remove from MultiTasking bar).
Double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking dock. Tap and hold an app. A red badge with a minus symbol will appear on the icons. Tap the minus symbol of Mail app to quit.

TS3276 I have an old version, 10.5. A few days ago, my Inbox stopped showing new messages received, although they are coming in and show under Messages on Server. How can I get the messages on the server to go to my Inbox so I can access them?

After downloading OSX Mavericks, my AOL mailbox has disappeared and all the AOL messages get dumped into the inbox along with the gmail messages. How can I get the AOL mailbox back?

After downloading OSX Mavericks, my AOL mailbox has disappeared and all AOL messages have been lumped in the inbox along with my gmail messages. What do I have to do to get my AOL mailbox back?

Linking AOL and gmail? I don't know what that means. But if it means what I think it does - that you have the AOL and gmail servers chatting directly with each other through some configuration, I'd definitely disable that.
In general, the messages either aren't deleted, or aren't correctly deleted, or there's a protocol or network error, or some sort of a mail server error.
First diagnostic is a mailbox repair. Mail.app > Mailbox > Rebuild
Then verify that the credentials are correct and the connection is reliable:
Mail.app > Window > Connection Doctor
And yes, if you have gmail and AOL chatting directly with each other, undo that.

Email shows gmail + hotmail setup. No acess to either inboxes.

Email shows gmail + hotmail. No acess to either inboxes. Driving me nuts any help kindly appreciated.

Hi Captainlantern
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here. Do you mean that both your Gmail and Hotmail come to the same inbox?
Thanks

Rebuilt (huge) inbox, now showing 0 messages- did I overwrite it?

For the past few months, mail (1.3.11) on my powerbook 12" g4 has been displaying a message for new messages downloaded that said something like, "this message can not be displayed, because it has not been downloaded from the server. please reconnect to the...."
However, the messages were there (available whether or not the computer was connected to the internet), so all I had to do was quit out of mail and restart it, and the messages would show up (I attributed it to having a huge inbox and a 40GB hard drive).
This morning, I got that message for every message (new or old), and couldn't get any messages to show by restarting mail (sender/subject lines still showed up).
So, I tried to rebuild the inbox, but now it shows 0 messages (0 bytes).
I would appreciate any help in:
- determining whether or not I somehow overwrote my inbox
- recovering anything that might be recoverable
Thanks!
(please note that this only affects the inbox- all my other mail folders are still accessible).

I, too, had the same problem as above so I was thrilled to see your response.
Apparently I do not have a file named "Envelope Index" anywhere on my computer (I did a search), much less in the Library/Mail folder. Even so, I moved the Library/Caches/Mail folder to the Desktop and rebooted, hoping that alone would fix things, even if I couldn't move Library/Mail/Envelope Index to the Desktop.
It did not work.
Do you have any suggestions?
