Smart mailbox for Unread messages doesn't update automatically.

Hello everyone.
I've set up a smart mailbox in Mail to show only my unread messages. But, it doesn't update automatically in that when I read a message, that message remains visible in the list until I leave and then return to the "Unread Messages" smart mailbox.
Any thoughts as to how I can get it to update automatically?
Thanks very much.....

Thanks for the note, Jeffrey and trust me when I say I'm a die-hard Apple believer. But, at work I support Windows machines and Outlook has views to show only unread messages. As soon as a messages is read and we move on to the next messages, the read message drops out of the list. This is what I'm look for so that I can apply it to the few Macs I also support at work.
What Apple's Mail gives us is good, but what we were hoping was to have the smart mailbox work the same way that Outlook's feature does. However, I still much prefer working with Mail rather than with Outlook. So, we will adjust.
Thanks again.

Smart mailbox for mails which are not in another smart mailbox

Hello!
I tried to create a smart mailbox for all the mails which doesn't appear in any other smart mailbox.
I know that I can tell my smart mailbox not to look for mails who are in the inbox or the other default-boxes of the mail program.
But how can I choose a smart Mailbox instead???

Thanks, John, but the original idea isn't mine. Someone else realized that some time ago:

Contact photos wrong then search for unread messages

When I search for unread messages in apple mail, every contact photo is my profile photo instead of the contacts profile photo. Any ideas how to fix or is this a bug?

Thanks - I understand the read flag is set on the server, but I don't think that's the case here. Mail is not incorrectly reporting some messages as read when they aren't - it just has the count of unread wrong (in subscription folders, not in the inbox)...
Also although I do access mail from other machines/web client it happens when I haven't...
Ie
send mail to myself at address that gets filed into a folder by the server
no log on to mail from web or other computer
mail arrives in folder, reported by Mail as 2 unread messages
click on folder, resyncs very quickly, unread count revised to 1 (correct)
In fact once I was watching while a mail came in - the count first showed 1 (correct) then quickly changed to 2.
I'm not sure what extra info I can provide - I had imagined this was a common problem since through google I found many others observing the same behaviour (but no solution).
The IMAP account is with Fastmail, who I believe run Cyrus.
I have letterbox and IMAP-IDLE plugin, but this problem was happening before installation of both of those.
Thanks again,
PS
as a side note - my drafts folder (on the server) reports 2 messages unread (there are two messages in there) - is this normal? (drafts to be reported as unread) - I must admit I'd prefer they weren't.

Mail: smart mailbox contents disappears/search doesn't work & fix is only temporary

Since installing Mavericks (including the Mail update), the contents of my Smart Mailboxes disappears (the Mailboxes themselves are listed, there's just no content) and my ability to get results from Search within Mail disappears.
I have done a lot of searching here and via Google and read other people with similar problems. I have done the usual magical stuff: resetting permissions (including the version that involves the command "resetpassword"), deleting caches, etc. - but to no avail.
Spotlight clearly knows about all this mail, because I can find it with HoudahSpot, which uses the same database, but somehow Mail is not able to read what Spotlight knows.
Now there is a commonly recommended fix, which is to go to Terminal and type some version of:
mdimport ~/Library/Mail/V2
This works (as does reindexing the entire disk)! But only for about a half-hour to an hour, at which point Mail reverts to its previous state. Running the command again works again, but once again the cure goes away shortly after. Once again, the Smart Mailboxes are empty and search in Mail stops giving reslts.
Can anyone suggest a real, permanent solution to this problem, besides switching to another email program?

Okay, I think I understand better now. So I just ran a test, by creating the following rule:
I specifically chose an address (obviously not the one shown) that I had a message from in my Inbox, and a word that was present in the subject line of several messages in my Inbox. When I ran this rule on my Inbox, it copied exactly the messages I would have expected into the test mailbox. Are you seeing different behavior with the same rule, or is your rule constructed differently?
If the difficulty is with running the rule, note that (as I said earlier) rules only run automatically on unread incoming messages. It won't run automatically on existing messages or on messages on an IMAP mail server that you have read on another device using (in which case they will have been marked as read). If you need to run this in such conditions, you'll have to either run the rule manually or run it via an AppleScript or something similar that is somehow (via something other than Mail) made to execute at certain times/intervals or under certain conditions.
And you're correct, a smart mailbox would be totally inappropriate for what you're trying to do! It would behave exactly as you guessed.

Unread message count not updating in Mail.app

I am running a MBP 15" with 10.4.10 and Mail.app (version 2.1.1 build 752.3) and as you can see in this screengrab here:
the unread message count is not correctly updating.
This may actually be something for the Mail dev' team to handle, unless some one else out there in the groups has some inside knowledge about this issue.
For that matter, I do not know how to forward this to the Mail dev' team inside Apple, so if any one else does, please do.
Cheers.

Jason,
What screengrab?
What type of account do you have -- POP, IMAP or .mac? How many accounts do you have? Do you access your account from more than one computer?
Unread message count where -- on the Mail Icon in the Dock or in individual mailboxes? In the Dock, the Unread message count will NOT reflect any messages moved to custom mailboxes by Rules, but only those in the Inboxes.

Add message preview for unread messages

Is there a way in the main message inbox all unread messages can display a short preview (Outlook has this option)?
I don't mean displaying a preview pane for a single highlighted message. I want a short message preview that displays in the Inbox for each individual unread message.

Thanks for the note, Jeffrey and trust me when I say I'm a die-hard Apple believer. But, at work I support Windows machines and Outlook has views to show only unread messages. As soon as a messages is read and we move on to the next messages, the read message drops out of the list. This is what I'm look for so that I can apply it to the few Macs I also support at work.

Gmail and other IMAP, smart mailbox for inboxes

Hello,
I have Mavericks, use Mail.app, including 4 active email accounts. I have a smart mailbox that includes any message from 3 of the 4 account inboxes, and I've been using this setup since Snow Leopard. After upgrading to Mavericks, this smart mailbox no longer works properly.
So 2 of the 3 mailboxes included in the smart mailbox are gmail, the third is non-gmail IMAP. The smart mailbox does include the correct messages from all three inboxes together, but it lists the gmail boxes as being from archive (AKA All Mail) instead of Inbox. Apparently Mail.app is doing a message matching between those emails, and preferring the "all mail" version over the inbox version. This didn't seem to be more than an annoyance at first, until I discovered that I can't archive emails from the smart mailbox: I have to go directly to the inbox to archive them, because calling "archive" on an "all mail" message is a No-op.
I beleive this problem is not specific to smart mailboxes, because it happens on search results as well. So
Select gmail inbox
search for a sender in that mailbox only
select some of those messages
click "archive"
The effect is that the messages will disappaer from the current search result, but as soon as I dismiss the search I can see the messages are still in the inbox.
Clearly the enhanced gmail integration was done hastily here.
I don't know if there is a workaround here. Apple must fix!

Oh, and there was one other issue I forgot to mention. When I used this arrangement before Mavericks, the smart mailbox pointing at my inboxes would "live update", so if new mail was received in an inbox and I was looking at the smart mailbox, it would update immediately. This functionality is no longer there.

Smart mailbox for addresses NOT in my address book?

I want a smart mailbox that only contains emails from addresses that aren't in my address book. It doesn't seem possible with the options in the dialog box, unless I'm missing something really obvious.

I just discovered I can do this through the Junk section of Preferences. Click "Advanced" and you can create a filter specifically for 'Sender not in my address book'.

Create a smart mailbox for one one specific email account?

It has been a long time since I've been in these forums, I have to update my computer model, ha!
Anyway, I notice that when I create a smart mailbox, the specific instructions pertain to both my .Mac account and my gmail account which are set up in the Mail application. I would like to make the smart mailbox rules only apply to the gmail account, but I can not find a way to do this. Is this possible?
I would also like to only include messages from my gmail inbox in my smart mailbox, instead of sent messages etc.

you can't combine AND and OR conditions is a smart mailbox. I really don't know why. it's a big oversight IMO. you can do it in finder smart folders. you can try something weird like making one smart mailbox which satisfies the conditions you wnat about matching words . then make another smart mailbox with the condition that a message is in the first smart mailbox AND in gmail inbox.

Smart mailboxes containing sent messages?

is there a way to enable a smart mailbox to contain sent and received messages? i would like to organize email conversations by viewing both ends of the dialog in the same mailbox. i've see it work this way in other applications like FirstClass.
thanks

There is a very easy way to do this, it is all about how you create the mailbox.
There should be a checkbox for "Include messages from Sent", if you check this it will include message from the sent mailbox.
You are also able to make multiple "rules" so you can have one be if I sent a message to 'Bob' or something similar.
Hope This Helps

In Mail, one mailbox for Recovered Message (AOL) keeps showing 1 very large message that I cannot delete. How can I get rid of this recurring problem, please?

In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

I worked it out.
Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
Go to your HD.
Go to Users.
Go to your House (home)
there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
Go to Mail in this folder
The next folder ( for me ) is V2
Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
Best wishes.

Smart Mailbox for Meeting Invitations

Hi,
I recently switched to a MacBook Pro after many years of using Windows (don't know why I waited so long...). I'm using Apple Mail and iCal and am really happy with them, but would like to create a smart mailbox that contains meeting invitations. I've looked at all of the filter options to create that mailbox and can't figure out if or how it can be done.
Has anyone done this before?
Thanks,
Erik
