New mail notification counter not appearing in dock

I've noticed recently that my new mail notification counter doesn't appear in the dock if I have Mail sitting in the background. I can be working in, say, Word, and not know I have new mail. Yet, when I go to Mail there are emails sitting there (and the dock counter appears as soon as I go to Mail.
Not a major problem, I agree, but it would be nice to fix it, if anyone has any suggestions.
Cheers
Phil

Thanks for the replies. I do have preferences set as you suggest but am not getting the notifications when Mail is in the background. I'll just live with it...

E-mail notification alert not appearing

Hello,
I am running Thunderbird 24.4.0 on Windows 7. I am using no add-ons and I am only using a Gmail account with Thunderbird right now for testing.
I do not receive any new e-mail notifications. I did receive them once or twice before, but it is very random and rare when I do receive a new e-mail alert.
However when I maximize Thunderbird, it displays the new e-mail. So Thunderbird is indeed actually receiving the e-mail, it is just failing to notify me.
I have ensured notifications are enabled in the Menu Bar > Tools > Options.
I have tried using Add-ons such as:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/mailbox-alert/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/new-mail-attention/
Which also do not help display alerts. However the "new mail attention" add-on does blink the Thunderbird icon on the Windows taskbar, so at least something can notify me.
I have also tried running Thunderbird in safe mode, and running it in compatibility mode for Windows Vista, both also did not help. This appears to be a bug in Thunderbird, as I have noticed other users mentioning the same issue.

Thank you rsx11m, your suggestion seems to have fixed it! Yes I did have Gmail configured as an IMAP account. Much appreciated.

Mi emails notifications are not appearing as other applications, only can see them when open my mails

Hi I have an Iphone 5c and set my email account (local provider company).
I can receive mails perfectly and also send mails but the notification of a new mail comming is not appearing with the red globe on top of the Mail as suppose to.
Once I entered the mail application the mails start to download and the red globe appears but not before just after I entered tha application.
the other applications I have like whatsapp and bbm are working perfectly. I check the notification center many times and looks ok for me but don't know what could be the problem. If someone can help me I really appreciate...

Push mail is automatically sent to your device when it arrives at the email server. Your email account has to support this.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data > Push > ON, your account > select Push (if available), Fetch, or Manual
Below list of accounts:
Fetch > select interval

When I open a new app, it does not appear in the dock.

After upgrading to mountain lion, apps don't appear on the dock when I open them. I also am not getting new mail notifications on my mail icon. I've checked preferences>notifications and everything seems to be right.

Don't know why...restarted...logged in as guest...logged in as me. Problem solved.

Rule containing "Mark as Read" and "Move to Folder" does not remove New Mail Notification

I asked this question in another forum here (sorry for not linking, but the forum would not let me because my account is not yet verified):
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-outlook/rule-containing-mark-as-read-and-move-to-folder/061a8009-dd98-4304-81b0-6c4c8a5a6205
They passed the buck to this forum. Can anyone help? Here is my original post:
I have set up a rule so that emails from a certain sender should be marked as 'read' and routed to a certain folder. The rule works just fine except for the fact that it does not remove the new mail notification from the taskbar icon
or the system tray. The rule reads as follows:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
with New Home Sale in the subject
move it to the _New Home Sales folder
and mark it read
Once I open the _New Home Sales folder, all messages are marked as read, as they should be. When I open any of the emails in this folder, the notification goes away. It does not even have to be the most recent email or the same folder
- opening any email from any folder clears the notification, even if the same email was used to clear it before. Previewing does not remove the notification.
I have a similar rule set up for another folder:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
with New Home Final Sale in the subject
move it to the _New Home Final Sales folder
and mark it as read
The same thing happens here with the unread notification.
This is very annoying, as I want to receive these emails but I do not need to know every time one comes in.
Does anyone have any advice on this? I have read a few threads about an unread email bug, but I'm hoping I'm just missing a setting somewhere. I find it hard to believe such a bug would persist this long.

Hi,
From your description, I would like to verify the Exchange version and Outlook version at first. Since I have a test in my environment using Exchange 2010 with Outlook 2010. I create a same inbox rule, it works and there is no new mail notification from
the taskbar.
What's more, I recommend you use Outlook safe mode to determine whether the problem is caused by add-ins.
If the issue persists, please install the Outlook latest Service Packs and check the result.
Hope it helps.

Unread email notifications do not appear in my Gmail account on Mac Mail?

I am driving an iMac (intel), OS 10.9.3. My unread email notifications do not appear in my gmail account. I have tried everything that I can think of...

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

New mail notification won't go away...

Hi there!
I'm using MacOS 10.7.4 and Mail 5.3 on a 13" MBP from 2012.
Lately I experience the problem, that the new mail notification (those little red numbers on the mail icon in the dock ) won't disappear after I read the mail.
When I quit mail completely and start it up again the notification is gone...
This behaviour is pretty new on my machine.
Can anybody help me with that?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I did restart the dock and will let you wether that solved the problem!
It'll take a day or two until I'm sure the notification will be gone for sure after I read an email because the problem didn't appear on a regular basis.

Losing New Mail Notification after send/receive

Hello,
I have a Treo 800w with WM6.1. Experienced same problem also with HTC Mogul on WM6.0.
My yahoo email and work exchange email are setup via IMAP. The new mail notification works when a new message is received. However, upon the next send/receive, even if the message has not been viewed, the new mail icon and notification goes away. As a result, I cannot utilize any reminder feature, even third party that will work past the duration of my send/receive interval. Does any fix exist for this?
Thanks for your help
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

Mail only shows a flag in the Dock for new mail when it arrives in the Inbox; you can't get around this. But you can add this functionality to ALL mailboxes if you download and install this item:

Be sure to follow the directions and it should work without a problem.

No new mail notification in Outlook - CAS Exchange RPC Client Access problem

Hi, we're facing this problem:
Users start complaining they suddenly don’t receive new mail notifications in Outlook (2010/2013) anymore
Inbox does not show the new mail either
When the user changes folders in outlook, the new mail does show in the Inbox folder
Restarting Outlook shows the new mail as well.
The same new e-mail arrives instantly (with notifications) in Owa and on mobile devices
Sometimes the new mail notification pops up after a longer period of time (from 30 seconds to 10 minutes). But more often not at all.
This issue seems to occur at random. We’ve been problem free for a week, and sometimes it comes back three times a day.
Clients running Outlook 2010, 2013 cached or online, on site and off site. So it seems server related, not client.
It was seen first around January 8th. We did not make any changes around that time that we can link to this problem.
Only one CAS server (EXCH1-RTD) shows this issue. CAS servers on other sites are ok
EXCH1-RTD has CAS and HUB transport roles. The same site has two mailbox only servers. EXCH2-RTD (mailbox server for normal mailboxes). And EXCH3-RTD (mailbox server for archive mailboxes)
No entries in the event logs that seems to be related
As the problem only occurs with Outlook clients, I suspected RPC issues. We cannot gracefully stop the “Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access” service on EXCH1-RTD while the issue occurs. We
can only kill the process and restart the service, solving the issue instantly.
What we’ve tried until now:
Updated all Exchange servers from Exchange 2010 SP3 RU6 to RU8-v2 (server OS=W2K8R2)
Updated all Exchange servers to latest critical Windows updates
Recalculated requirements using MS Sizing tool. Upgraded EXCH1-RTD VM from 8GB and 2 vCPU (1 core/cpu) to 16GB
and 4vCPU (1 core/cpu)
Ran various perfmon counters and compared them with other Exchange servers, not finding any obvious anomalies.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Ron

Hi Ron,
From your description, OWA works well, the issue is related to Outlook side. In your case, I recommend you use Outlook safe mode to determine whether the issue is related to add-ins. If the issue persists, you can create a new profile to check the result.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

How do I just get the Inbox messages to show in the new mail notification?

I've setup Thunderbird with Gmail and it works like a charm. The only gripe I have is that the new mail notification seems to grab a selection of unread emails from different folders and often it's not showing the relevant new emails in my inbox. Esp. the All Mail folder seems to cause doubling of message notifications but it's not the only one .
All I'm interested in is my inbox for new mail notifications. Is there anyway to modify the current behaviour?

That's not true. If you archive an email from your inbox without labelling it it will simply remove the inbox label and then the only way to get to it is through All Mail.
Note that All Mail is not only folder that has this issue. If you auto-label a message with 2 or more labels the exact same problem occurs.

TS3276 When i receive a message in Mail it does not appear in my inbox

When i revieve a message in mail it does not appear in my in box until i click away from the in box by going into sent mail and then returning to the in box, this has only started happening since i have moved onto Maveric OS, any ideas anyone?

I found the answer on another forum by '''Tom Wijsman''':
Go to Options -> Advanced -> Config Editor.
Find the Name mail.pop3.deleteFromServerOnMove
Set it to True.
True: Delete the copy of the message on the POP3 server if you move or delete the message.
False(default): Only delete the copy of the message on the POP3 server if you delete the message.
That's it, restart Thunderbird. You need to press 'Get Mail' everytime you want to sync with the email server, in order for you to make sure messages in the application is in sync with the email server.
The following should be emphasized to realize the sync with the server. You will not see your server message disappear upon the initial Get Mail download (new messages downloaded). After you process your Inbox in Thunderbird by deleting/moving a new message, then do another Get Mail which will delete the new messages previously downloaded on the server (put in sync).
Note: If you have older messages in your Thunderbird Inbox, they will not be deleted from Server. Delete them manually from server. From then on, any new messages you download, then process (delete/move), and then do the sync by doing Get Mail again WILL be deleted.

Outlook 2010/multiple exchange accounts/new mail notification on one only

Hi, is there a way to have multiple exchange accounts in Outlook 2010 but just have new mail notifications on the first only?
I tried having the first exchange account open an additional user, but running into memory errors as a result. Found the solution to that by adding them as separate accounts, but this creates noise with mail notifications, reminders, etc-
Thanks in advance - Joe

Hi,
You can configure multiple Exchange accounts in Outlook 2010. For details on how to configure, you can refer to this article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/outlook/archive/2009/08/25/multiple-exchange-accounts-in-outlook-2010.aspx
Also, only the default mail store will get the new mail icon. You can use rules to pop up a desktop notification for the other accounts but the icon will only appear
for the default account.

Mail notifications are not getting sent from a Calendar client

Mail notifications are not getting sent from a Calendar client
<p>
On the client, after creating an event and electing to send a mail notification,
the following error appears in a pop up box:
"module:mailmsg.ctp,label 190, service error"
Also, in the /users/unison/log/cws.log file on the Calendar Server, there is an
error from the corresponding time that the client receives one:
DEXOTEK ERRCODE Ox132B0 -> CWTCP_RemoteSecurityModified: RNC_SecurityModified
-> Request 0x443 for NodeId 10002,
status set to CANTSERVICE
Solution:
If this is only happening for one user, then check for the presence of a dbv.log
file in the /users/unison/log directory. If present this implies db corruption
and the /users/unison/bin/unidbfix tool should be run.
Note: For details on "unidbfix", please read the man page and also the online
Calendar Administrators Guide.

Does it charge?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.
