Multiple notification badges for Mail in the Dock?

I saw a pic on the web of the mail icon in the doc with more than one red dot 'new mail alert' thing.
It had 3 or 4 dots, and all were different colors.
It made me wonder if there was someway to assign different mail accounts to their own alerts (color dots).
I cant find it in prefs, so just wondering if anyone know what I'm talking about.
-dont ask where i saw this, I can't remember
Cheers, JD

John,

Removing unread mail count badge for Mail on the iMac

On my iMac I have a badge with a "2" on my Mail icon, indicating I have two unread messages. I have thousands of emails in the inbox, and have scrolled through all of them but could not find an unread message. I have tried using the command "Mark All Messages As Read" to no avail. I have deleted the email account from Mail, and reinstalled it, also to no avail. I know I should just ignore the badge, but it bugs me. Mail on my iMac syncs with my iPad, iPhone, and MacBook Air. The iMac is the only machine with the badge showing "2".
Suggestions...??

Please forgive my ignorance.
I have found Keychain Access but I don't understand what I have to do next.
Which Category? Passwords?
Also which one is the mail server? imap.mail.yahoo.com or smtp.mail.yahoo.com (both have the same password)
or any other enteries?
Thanks for your help

The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts.

The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts. I previously was able to select between my Microsoft Exchange Contacts (work account) and iCloud (personal), but both those options are now gone. I tried turning contacts for both off and on and rebooting, but it didn't help. Any ideas?

Just a guess but if the exchange account is from your employer, your employer may have installed a security profile to your device preventing you from adding or editing contacts in the exchange account by removing the Default Account setting. You would need to check with your employer's IT department to confirm this. You could also test this by adding a Gmail account and turning on contacts syncing with Gmail to see if the setting reappears.

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening ... it shows when you right click on the mail icon that " application not responding"

If your hard drive is getting full, you need to free up, at least, 20 GBs of space on your iMac's hard drive.
If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it run the automatic ans S.M,A.R.T. tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the tabs that have the ability to clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

How to have multiple preference files for Mail on one computer

I would like to have multiple preference files for Mail on one computer, one copy for each person in the organization. I want everybody to log in as the same user. Is this possible?
Thanks,
John Link
Cube, 450 MHz, 640 MB Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Since the Mail.app preference file (along with all other application preference files for a user account) is stored in that user's Home folder/directory, I don't believe this is possible.

Mail is not working. The app opens because I see a light on under "Mail" in the dock.

Mail is not working. The app opens because I see a light on under "Mail" in the dock, and I see the menu at the top of my screen, but I don't see the app itself or any windows. It is like it is running in the background, but I can't see it. Everthing is subdued when I click on the choices up in the menu. I have tried "Force Quit" and then re-opening the mail app several times, and have rebooted my notebook twice. What is weird is that this started right after I changed my password in a browser (it is a gmail account). I went into the System Preferences on my MacBook and changed my password there as well, so it should be setup properly to open. I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5. Any help anyone can provide is much appreciated.

Problems with attachments going corrupt from Mail in the dock when sending?

I have had my Mac G5 Tower at home now for a couple of years now and have always had a problem with sending attachments to any one from my .mac account with mail in the dock.
The error massage people would tell they were getting from the files that I attached were (The file is damaged and cold not be repaired). I also tried emailing the same attachment to my self and got the same results.
I always got around this at home by emailing the attachments via web .mac account from apple’s web site this is not an ideal solution.
Using the same .mac account and mail from the dock on my Mac at work no problems at all.
I thought by upgrading from panther to tiger that this would help, I am still having the same trouble.
Can anyone out there help.
Thanks

Thank you Justin for your response. Sorry for the delay in responding. I have been unable to log in to my forum account since the first time even though I'd verified my user name, reset the password (everything I could think of). Many hours (literally) on hold with almost every support department at Verizon hasn't resolved the login problem...so I've created a new username with my other email address. I know that creating a new account probably isn't the kosher solution, but my frustration level with Verizon phone suport on this has gone over the top as no one department seems to claim any knowledge of how to help with forum issues and passes me off to somewhere else.
I am using IE 7.0. I only have the problem when I am viewing my emails via the Verizon webmail. When I download the emails to Outlook on my desktop, there are no problems. In webmail, if I have an email showing in the preview pane that has links and I click on that email (in the preview pane), the linked website opens and I can't close it or do anything else. I can't even switch to viewing other emails in my inbox in the preview pane. I can right click on the email showing in the preview pane and select to open in a new window, but if I left click the link activates right there in the preview pane.

Well, you're not alone, as I've stated, neither can I. Next time, if you want it done using the phone, find any 12 year old kid. They'll rearrange everything for you in a few seconds.

How to lock Mail on the Dock

For reasons I don't really understand I have a hard time keeping the Apple Mail on the dock. I did hte righ-click option and check "Keep in Dock" and that did not work. I am useing OS X 10.8.3 on an iMac. My wife has the same issue with her Outlook icon on a MBP.
How can I lock the Mail icon to stay on the Dock?

Download the free app TinkerTool from http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html
In the TinkerTool preferences, go to "Dock" and (in "Restricted Dock") check "Don't allow to modify content."
Then click on Relaunch Dock.
Thereafter, if you ever want to make any modifications to the Dock, you will need to uncheck "Don't allow to modify content."

I found a post with this solution that worked for me - .Do a backup, then download ibackupbot. It lets you look into the contents of that backup. Look in system files>mediadomain>library>sms>attachments. I found a ton of huge files related to long deleted texts. ibackupbot let me delete all that old crap. I then restored the phone with that now modifec backup and Bingo! freed up 9 GB. No problems.
But note, if you are not technically inclined you probaly don't want to be digging around and deleting back up files. You delete the wrong thing and you could jack up your phone badly. Be careful.

Is it possible for Mail on the Macbook to Mirror your Hotmail account.

Is it possible for Mail on the Macbook to Mirror your Hotmail account,
so that if I read or delete an email in Mail on Mac it will do the same in Hotmail?
Sorry if this has been asked before I'm new to Apple.

No, the email address is the "username" for the Sync account, you need a different email address for each Sync account that you setup.

HT2474 I did a clean reinstall of mountain lion and for some reason the dock keeps osx lion format

I did a clean reinstall of mountain lion and for some reason the dock keeps osx lion format. Does someone how to uptade only dock application?
Tks

Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn't work.
You need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock. Move the .db to your desktop.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
Then try a dock reset.
Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
