New email count stuck

I recently updated to Lion and since then, the new mail count of one of my email addresses in mail is stuck on 17 new emails. New emails come in, I see them, read them, delete them, and it still says 17. There are no hidden unread emails. I have even removed the problematic address and re-installed it. Same issue. The 4 other addresses are fine. I didn't realize how much I relied on that count throughout the day! Hoping someone can help.

If deleting the email accounts and setting them back up again as allan suggested does not work, there might be an issue with the software on the iphone.
You might want to try the reset and/or restore if necessary.
If you do reset or restore here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

Hope this helps.

  • No new emails count beside the mailbox icon

    Morning.
    The dockling displays the red star containig the count of new emails in INBOX, but beside the INBOX icon in Mail.app is no blue circle with the new emails count.
    Why that? It's a common IMAP account.
    TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

    I've started to receive emails - be aware that the time stamp on emails in Mac Mail and in iCloud are showing as different. So emails that appear to have just been sent MAY actually be from yesterday and earlier today when iCloud was down.
    This is the same email - top example is from Mac Mail, bottom from iCloud webmail - note the different times.

  • Why is the new email count inaccurate?

    Mail is not accurately reporting how many new emails are available.
    For example, I can read all of my new email, and it will still report that I have unread emails.  Also, if I do have unread emails, it won't display that is the case.  I notice the issue the most with gmail.  Why does mail seems to continue to have issues with gmail?

    Rebuild your Mailboxes and the count will probably be correct.  I have over 300 Mailboxes and had to Rebuild them all.  Once done, the problem went away and has not resurfaced during the last 2 months.

  • New Email counter missing in Safari tab?

    Hi folks.
    My ATT Yahoo mail page used to indicate on my Safari tab if new unread mail had appeared.  Since going to ML and Safari 6, that has stopped and I dont know how to restore it.  I found that there are widgets for gmail to do that, but I cant find one for ATT/Yahoo.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

    Uhh, okay, for some reason it suddenly started working just minutes after my posting.  Didnt work for weeks, and now was apparently humbled by my complaint and its fine.  So, never mind, I guess.

  • TS3899 I have an iPhone 5 and it shows on the Mail Icon that I have over 3,000 emails to read but the number continues to increase even when I have read the email.  I thought  once you have read an email it drops off the count of "new emails"

    I have an iPhone 5 and it shows on the Mail Icon that I have over 3,000 emails to read but the number continues to increase even when I have read the email.  I thought  once you have read an email it drops off the count of "new emails"

    The received emails should show in two locations:
    1. In the All Inboxes tab of Mail.
    2. The Inbox for each mail account,
    If your emails are not showing in these locations try quitting the mail app and then reset your iPhone.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal.
    To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Badge count for new emails in my main account has started including my other acc ?

    On my ipad, my main mail account badge has started to include the number of new emails in my gmail account as well even though my gmail acc. badge next to it shows it's own correct number of new emails.  How do I revert to my main account only showing its individual number?  Thanks.

    If you go to Settings>Notification Centre>Mail each of your email accounts will appear here separately. You can then change if Badges are displaye on the Mail App - which will show you the number of emails - or not.

  • Mail hang with multiple pop accounts and invalid new mail counter

    All
    More than a year ago, I migrated all email accounts from Outlook to Apple Mail using O2M application. I have 2 pop accounts and gmail account. Everything worked fine for a few month but then Mail started to hang during message receiving. It did so very often (4/5 times). When it does, nothing will revive it except a "force quit".
    I tried to fetch email from each account individually, that worked well every time. After I was sure that it has to do with getting new mail simultaneously, I tried everything to fix it. I tried to reconstruct all the mail boxes, I tried using only 2 boxes with all combinations (1 pop 1 gmail, 2 pop, etc) but nothing worked.
    I even tried to export all my mail boxes, then delete everything from Mail then reimport them with no luck.
    In addition, a couple of months later, my "Inbox" new mail counter started to sometimes displaying the wrong new mail count. It displays 2-4 new messages while there is none. In order to be sure, I created a smart mail box to have only new mail and it had none. By simply switching to any other folder then returning back to Inbox solves the problem.
    Can any one help?

    Make absolutely sure that your email addresses and configuration are correct. In nearly every case I've encountered, this is the problem.
    If you've confirmed this, make sure you're configured properly on your webmail account, if you have one. Webmail is something like ATT, the source of your internet.
    If you're still flummoxed, play hardball. Make sure you have all your current account info and passwords, and delete them in Mail/Preferences/Accounts. Then, reenter them one by one until they're perfect. This makes sure your settings are consistent and correct.

    If you are going to change your AppleID login you will need to log out and back in on all your devices. Turn off 'Find My iPhone/iMac/iPod' first or you will find yourself unable to sign out and be stuck.

  • New email icon won't go

    Hi All,
    Need your help again.
    I have got a "new email" icon on top left hand side (along with number 1 written) & a "red colour star" icon
    on my office email messenger, but the thing is I have no unread emails. The count of the unread increases
    when I get new emails from office. As I open all the unread emails, this count decreases, but ultimately
    stays again at 1, along with "new email" icon & "red colour star" icon.
    I have already tried the following (in the same order):
    1) I deleted all my office emails from my BB, but still the problem continued
    when this did not help, 
    2) i deleted all the emails from my other BB email messengers  (gmail/hotmail)
    when this did not help,
    3)switched off my BB with the power button,
    when this did not help,
    4) I took out the battery (with BB on)
    when this did not help,
    5) called up the service provider, who sent me "service book" for re-configuration, (after I took
    out the battery again with BB on)
    Now the last option I can think of is, have the office email id removed from my BB & then reconfigure
    again.
    But is their any other solution.
    Thanks for reading this big help request.

  • New Email notification only looks unread for about 3 minutes even if I have not read the message

    I have just started using Microsft Outlook to use my yahoo account. Both of those services show a new message as unread indefinitely but for some reason, my 8310 only shows the new email as new for about 3 minutes.
    In the BB Mail-Options General options - I have the Display Message count as Unread, and the Display New Message INdicator as Yes, and under the Email Reconciliation it reads On. It used to work fine but all of the sudden something has changed.
    Does anyone have any tips on this issue? I would hate to miss an important new message when I am traveling.

    Take it to apple store and don't replace it with the new one my son had the same problem he was in there about 10 minutes and walked out with a new phone

  • New emails in the dock

    my mail icon in the dock doesn't show the numbers for the new emails as they arrive. how can I have this displayed?

    John,
    Cool, first time I've been thanked with a song!
    Check your Mail > Preferences > General > Dock unread count: > Maybe it needs to be set to all mailboxes in your situation.

  • Mail not showing new mail count

    Very recently, Mail has stopped showing the new mail count next to the corresponding inbox on the bar on the left side of Mail. There are new emails sitting in the indox but it doesn't show a count. I upgraded to Mavericks and it there were no issues but now this is happening. Any ideas why?

    Incoming_Mail

    Yes, these can also be removed. Tiger Mail no longer uses them. You can confirm this by looking at their modification date. It should be no later than the date you imported your Panther mail into Tiger mail.

  • Mail not showing new emails

    Hi all
    Since installing Lion my Mac mail program has undergone some changes, mainly for the better, but one is really bugging me.
    When i received new mail under Leopard i used to get a blue dot by the inbox etc and a number count on the mail icon in the taskbar.
    Now i don't get either unless i select count all boxes in the prefferences which is good except any mail in other boxes does not get hightlighted so i have to search manualy throught them to find the unread mail.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    I have tried rebuilding, selecting inbox only and all boxes to be counted but still have same problem.
    The new email sound works but nothing visual.!!!
    Cheers
    Kev
