No mail count next to Inbox

hi all
i am using mail to retrieve mail from my gmail through its IMAP server
Things are pretty well before,
but recently i found that there is no more mail count number next to the Inbox, indeed there are new mail count shown on the gmail - "All mail"
although it is not some serious matters, but it is a bit strange, so any idea to solve it out?
will it be related to my iphone 3G, since the problem seems started after i sync my iphone

I am having the same problem....I never realized how much I look at that number. I have a gmail account set up with IMAP and it doesn't show the number there, When I set up the gmail account using POP it shows it??
I have no idea what the issue is but it is really frustrating.... any help would be great.....!

Mail - wrong counter next to "Inbox" at the top of the window

hi,
in Mail (3.6), the message-counter on the top part of the "Mail"-window next to "Inbox" displays a random 10-digit number, instead of the actual Inbox count. the inbox count in the sidebar and in the badge at the dock are fine.
screenshot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wallenberg/3681799187/
already tried to rebuild the Mailbox, and deleted/resampled the "Envelope Index"-file in user/library/mail .
the mail is handled through IMAP /mobileme.
any suggestions?
thx, tantin01

Hi,
Did you first remove the account folder for your IMAP account when you forced reindexing by removing the Envelope Index file?

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?

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.

New mail count for Inbox showing stopped activity icon

Recently, the mail count for new (unread) messages on my primary (Inbox) folders shows a stopped activity icon, i.e. the clockwise spinning wheel or whatever you call that thing. Has anyone else seen this behavior, and if so, what are the possible causes and fixes?
TIA, and happy holidays.

Mail stop counting my gmail inbox unread number

I've read some of the posts here claming mail doesn't show unread number in dock icon. My issue is different.
The thing is that mail stop counting unread mails in my gmail inbox.
see below
If my iCloud inbox has unread emails, the number will show in the app as well as at dock icon. Or if I switch to show All Mailboxes, unread mail number in other mailboxes from my gmail account will show.
Anyone has ideas how to fix this? Thanks

oh forgot to mention a couple other clear signs that mail.app is "confused" here:
if i right click on a mailbox in the mailboxes window and select "get info..." (a very useful command hidden in an odd place), it shows me that right now my inbox has 3 messages and my temp mailbox has 50 messages. but when i look at either of these mailboxes normally, they show up with zero messages.
if i send myself a test message and then tell mail.app to check for mail, the new message indicator comes on and my inbox temporarily shows up as having 3 new messages. then when i click on it, it shows up as empty and the new message indicator goes away again. if i repeat this it will say 4 new messages, etc.
so it's acting like there's some kind of corrupt partial message at the top of my inbox that mail.app can't read and keeps choking on. i've had this happen before on other imap servers a while back. for those servers, i had normal login access, so i could go and edit or delete the offending file. in this case (apple's .mac server), i don't know how to do the equivalent.

Mail - unread mail count does not decrement

When reading a stack of new email I find that the unread email count (little number next to "inbox" folder) does not change as I read the mail. If I click on another folder and go back to the inbox the number changes to reflect the accurate count. Annoying, but not fatal. Time for a CS version?

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.

This is regarding CBMA in SAP PI 7.3.1. I have set up the alert mail using default java mail client.I do receive the alerts via mail. But my requirement is to direct all the mails to Business workplace inbox in ECC.

This is regarding CBMA in single stack SAP PI 7.3.1. I have set up the alert mail using default java mail client.I do receive the alerts via mail. But my requirement is to direct all the alert mails to Business workplace inbox in ECC.
So I need to set up PI to redirect mails to ECC Business workplace user inbox (sbwp). From here rules are set up & routed per distribution list.
Please guide me how I can achieve this requirement.

Hi,
yes, it is a little bit different. This is the issue.....
But I am not sure if your links will help:
1) /people/william.li/blog/2008/02/13/sap-pi-71-mapping-enhancements-series-using-graphical-variable
is about a different solution. I do not need to count the number of lines of the source message.
And the second variable is about concat line by line from unbound node to unbound node.
My issue is:
Souce:
Message line (0...unbound) ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
.    ResultLine   (1..1)
Mapping:
=>   ResultLine1
       ResultLine2
       ResultLine........          => into UDF to an element (1..1) in one mapping operation.
So that all "ResultLine"s are included.
The result is explained in the given link for Mail attachment with UDF.
So I am not sure how to use this thread for my issue.
In the comments of that blog Christoph Gerber writes that the new variable feature can only handle single values.
So it is not suitable for my purposes as I have a list of values here that needs to be moved into the target message field.
2) http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Java/UsingEditJavaSectioninMessageMapping
shows where to find the button "Java section" which is not available here in 7.1
3) /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/10/01/xi-new-features-in-sp14
too is about the nice little button for Java Section that is no longer existing on PI 7.1 screen for mappings.
So my issue is: How to replace the Java section function with global variables in PI 7.1?
Best regards
Dirk

Mail - Unread Mail Count corrupted

I have set up a Smart Mailbox in Mail to hold all of my unread mail until I have a chance to deal with it. It is called "Unread" and the condition for the box is simply all messages that match the condition "Message is Unread"
There are currently 15 messages in this Smart Mailbox, yet the count at the side of the Mailbox list indicates 1197, and when I click on that Mailbox the title across the top of Mail indicates "Unread (15 messages, 1197 unread)".
Clearly that unread count has been corrupted some way ... is there any way to reset it?
Many thanks to anyone who can help!
OS X 10.9 [Mavericks] Build 13A693 | Mail Version 7.0 (1816)

Not entirely te same thing but after upgrading to 10.9 my Gmail item count in my "Inboxes" is continually set at "1" eventhough there are no unread messages. I have also gone to gmail via the web app and it shows no unread messages. So something is assuredly wacky.

E-mail counter for POP3 account has gone negative

When all e-mails are read the e-mail counter shows "-1/0". Anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?

Yeah it's just an annoyance really. It now says "-2/0", while my empty deleted items folder has a 2 next to it. Weird. I noticed an e-mail dated Dec 31,1969 just before it went to -2. I always delete everything anyway since all messages are saved at home, so I suppose I could delete the account and set it up again.

How can I show unread mail count of Gmail,Yahoo,AOL in my web application.

I want to show unread mail count for Gmail,Yahoo,AOL,MSN (e.g. Gmail (5) ) on my web application. Also when user click on unread mail count it should open new window for respective mail Inbox say gmail inbox that shows unread mail of user.
I have exercised on jgmail source code & it has used HttpClient API to login into gmail and access services of gmail but I am not able to execute it successfully.
what are the options for above questions?
Thanks In Advance

JavaMail supports two standard protocols for reading mail POP3 and IMAP.
As explained in the JavaMail FAQ (you found it, right?), the POP3 protocol
doesn't provide information on unread messages.
As far as I know, only Gmail supports IMAP. I don't believe either AOL or MSN
support even POP3, but I'm not sure.

Icon next to Inbox is a "tildes", a squiggly line going horizontally

Tildes icon next to inbox in Mail, I clicked it, got prompted for password, it went away now.
Any idea what it was or why it was there?
Thank You!

ICloud new mail count badge not working in Mail v 5.2 Lion but is working in Mountain Lion on other machines

I've upgreded 2 of my 3 computers to Mountain Lion, and all seems fine on those 2 machines, but on my older Mac Pro which is not compatible with Mountain, I'm having a problem where the new mail count badge is not showing up either on the iCloud mail box or as part of my total in the dock count badge. New mail badges is showing up for my other mail boxes, just not iCloud. I've removed my iCloud inbox, and have re-enabled it and it's still not working. If I had the problem right at the time I installed Mountain Lion on my other 2 computers, I didn't notice it, so I don't think this problem is related to Mountain Lion on my other machines.

Glenn,
Regarding adding and deleting the System Drive from the Spotlight Privacy Tab...... I'm following your sequence, but when I come back to Spotlight Search in the menu bar it just works the same.... no mention of indexing. What's interesting is that "Mail" dosn't appear anywhere in search results when a keyword search is performed via spotlight.
Regarding the "enevelope Index Files" ..... I followed the instructions and quit and re-opened mail as instructed. When I re-opened Mail I selected "continue" and the program began to index the contents of mail for about 30 minutes. I thought that would would fix the issue, but it's still not working.
I've tried to compare the account setup from my IMAC which works fine to see if I have something setup wrong in the account, but everything looks the same.
I guess I can try to re-index again? Don't know what else to do?
Thanks,
Bill

TS3276 Is there a way to sync POP subfolders and download them for backup in Mail on my MBP? I tried syncing the account with Mail and only the Inbox downloads onto my computer.

Is there a way to sync POP subfolders and download them for backup in Mail on my MBP? I tried syncing the account with Mail and only the Inbox downloads onto my computer. I have Googled enough to find out that the answer is no, but no official answer or recent answer and I am hopeful that there has been a change.

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Junk Mail Counter

I cannot get rid of the Junk Mail Counter in my main Mail window ( Mail boxes on the left). It shows only next to my forwarded Yahoo junk mail box and keeps creeping up, and up and up ( 53 at last count). Is there a way to reset it to zero or to zap it? I have try everything but reinstalling Mail to get rid of that annoying problem. Thanks in advance for your help.
Mac Mini Intel Mac OS X (10.4.8) French Version

Sorry about the imprecision in describing the problem with the Unread Junk Mail indicator. I am indeed referring to the unread junk mail indicator ( next to the Junk mail box) which I cannot set back to zero even after after using the Delete Junk Mail command in the Mailbox menu. It only shows up on my Yahoo forward mail account. Any help will be welcome. BTW this problem does not show up on my other Mac ( e-Mac and iBook G3).
