New Mail Indicator in Title Bar

Anyone else think that a new mail indicator in the title bar (e.g. next to the battery indicator) would be a good idea? Is it even technically possible? I don't like audio mail notifications but I'd like to see if there was a new mail waiting while I'm browsing or suchlike.

Well, that's true though if you put the mail app in your tray on the bottom you can see it from all screens. But you have to exit an app to see it. What you're talking about is a good idea. When multitasking comes out this summer, maybe someone will write a mail notification app that operates in the background. Feed it back to Apple in the Feedback forum so they'll hear about it as they probably won't from here.

  • False "new mail" indicator

    Upgraded to Mavericks, now I'm getting a false "new mail" indicator on both my dock and Mac Mail program.  It's only on one on of my three email accounts, and I've already tried a smart mailbox to search for any unread emails.  Had this happen before on my MacBook Pro, no one at the Genius Bar could figure it out.  Now I'm on my MacBook Air, less than a year old, it's making me NUTS! 
    Anyone have any ideas how to proceed?

    UPDATED:  the Mavericks 1.0 update just debugged the Gmail problem, so all good.  Grateful to the nerds in Cupertino for handling their business. 

  • New Mail icon in header bar??

    When I got my Touch a year ago I could have sworn for a while I would see the envelope icon in the header bar (where the time is) when new mail came in no matter what application I was in. That doesn't seem to happen anymore. Am I missing something? Was this there then taken out?
    It was convenient to know if you had new mail even if you weren't on the home screen or in the mail app.

    personally never noticed this, had my ipod roughly a year. a number will come up on the mail app icon, but i dont remember anything in the header bar.

  • New mail indicator won't go away

    My mail icon continuously says I have 1 new mail even though I don't -- once I access my inbox it says I have no new messages, but the icon won't go away.
    Also, I have BCC turned off, but my gmail is still BCCing me all of my sent messages. How can I make it stop?

    Reset your phone(hold down home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo comes up)
    As for Gmail go to Settings>Mail>Select the Gmail account>Advanced> and make sure that in the Mailbox Behaviors the Sent Mailbox is set to <Sent Messages>

  • False New Mail Indicator in Dock

    Hello,
    This morning when I launched Mail it showed 3 new messages. Looking to my Mail folders I saw none. Sifting through my Mail folders I found 2 messages from back in March that had become unread. The 3rd mysterious new message is still un found.
    Any ideas please.

    Create a smart mailbox in Mail > Mailbox > New smart mailbox... 
    That should point the the unread messages.
    Regards,

  • IOS 6 mail indicator

    With IOS 6 the new mail indicator on the home screen defaults to the VIP mailbox. Is there a way to change it to show how many new messages are in the inbox?

    I'm having the exact same issues here too, ever since upgrading to iOS4, before then it was working just fine. I have a hosted IMAP account from gandi.net as they are my domain registrar and host, so to confirm what I've been reading, it's definitely not an issue with a particular mail service, but the Mail app itself. Accessing it from Mail on my Macbook (10.6.4) works just fine, not one issue. I do find that restarting my iPod Touch (2nd generation) does seem to resolve the issue, or rather get the messages all caught up, but the issue comes right back again with new messages. I hope the next update expected from Apple this week or next will resolve the issue.

  • Email folder not showing "new mail" alert

    I have several email folders on my blackberry.  When I recieve an email it only shows up on the "messages" folder.  My previous BB would show the new mail indicator in both "Messages" folder and the specific email folder it belonged in.  If I go to the specific folder, the email is inside, it just will not alert me to this folder.  Hope this makes sense.
    Currently I have 4 specific email folders, a text folder, and a messages folder. 
    How can I fix this? 
    I have an 8310 that was just replaced by another 8310 thru insurance coverage.
    Thank you very much!

    Not sure if this will work but try going into your email and hit bb menu key and choose message alerts and make sure you have a notification set for each one
    Hope it helps

  • New mail icon

    starting today, the mail icon in my doc has a red circle with the number 1. I do not have any new unread mail. I have check in my inbox, sent mail, trash, and junk mailboxes. I can't seem to get rid of the red circle. Any ideas?

    I had the same problem, except that Mail was constantly adding 9 to the number of new mail count. Neither reindexing nor rebuilding the mailboxes solved the problem. Finally, I went into Mail preferences, and on the general tab, I set the new mail indicator option to "inbox only" and it's working fine now. Hope this helps.

  • Cannot click directly on a new email in Mail without first clicking on title bar.

    I am on Mountain Lion. I frequently have Mail.app open on a second screen. When a new mail arrives I want to click on the email to read it. However, since ML, I first have to click on the frame or title of the Mail.app to bring the focus to Mail.app. I cannot directly click on anything inside the mail.app window. This is very annoying. Anybody else can reproduce this behaviour?

    I hve found similar issues resolved by clearing preferences...  see

  • I have a spinning wheel in Mail - stuck on trying to load a new message. I've force quit both Mail and my whole computer, but when I open mail again, it brings up the same new message - and the side bar curser is stuck in Drafts. What can I try to cancel

    Can you log on to the email account via webmail in a web browser, view the email and delete it from there if necessary.

  • Can't remove new pop-up title bar on background windows

    Firefox accidentally updated somehow while I was away & now I have a popup title bar appearing on background windows (as in my dual monitor) that covers my data until I make that window active.
    I don't know what it's called, so can't term-search it.
    Can't find any references to it.
    It's driving me insane & I'm clueless for once.
    I don't like that.

    How do I kill it?

    You're welcome.

  • I'm in need of a menu bar new mail notifier...

    Is there anything out there like GMail Notifier that will put an icon in the menu bar telling me that I have new mail? I need to have other windows covering the screen, can't always hear new mail alerts, and don't want to have my dock showing all the time. Just a little status icon in the menu bar showing maybe Online status, transferring, and unread messages. Anybody know of such a thing?
    Thanks

    There are a few:
    Mail Status Control
    PocketLight
    NotifX
    iAlert
    You will find these and more at www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.

  • Mail button erroneously indicating new mail

    My inbox is indicating there is new mail when in fact there is not. There is also a button on the dock icon indicating new mail.
    I have quit the program and restarted and it did not go away. Any suggestions?

    I recall I have a "ghost" email issue a while back. Mail's dock icon would say I had 2 unread mails, but when I'd look at the Inbox there was nothing to be seen, and the count mysterious went to zero .. only to go back to 2 some time later.
    I finally discovered that there were two messages which had been originated by my ISP's mail system administrator, but which were missing some headers or were corrupt in some other way. I could see them when I used the Web Mail system provided by my ISP, but they weren't visible in Mail. While in the Web Mail, I deleted these messages and the problem went away.
    So, if you have some odd issues with Mail, it's always worth using your ISP's Web Mail system to see if there's something unusual in your Inbox.

  • Cmd-click in finder on title bar opens new window - why?

    This is a feature I used all the time previously, but since I've updated to 10.5.2 it always open a new window when I select a dir further back. Does anybody know how I can make it not open a new window, just navigate in the existing window?

    ..."cmd-click in finder on title bar opens new window"...
    Holding down the cmd key while opening a folder in the "Finder" has caused the folder to open in a new window for quite some time. I can't recall what the behaviour was with respect to the Titlebar in earlier OS X versions, but if it has really changed in 10.5, perhaps it was to make it more consistent with the behaviour of folders in general.
    Are you sure you weren't using ctrl-click in the past?
