Unread mail count is wrong in iOS7 for Yahoo.

My iOS7 Mail app reports unread messages from my Yahoo account when there are none.  The numbers vary from zero to 8, but with the exception of zero, always appear to be more than the actual number.  I have tried...
Checking the configuration of server and client.
Killing the Mail app.
Reboot my iPhone.
Opening every message, read or otherwise.
Using Edit>Mark All as unread, then Edit>Mark All as read.
Delete and re-add account.
Occasionally it will report zero as it should, but I've never seen a correct count above zero since I upgraded to iOS7.

Same problem here with Yahoo mail.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  I have looked at Yahoo mail from all folders in my phone (running 7.0.3 now), as well as in a browser, looked at Inbox (empty), all Trash, Sent, etc. folders and they're completely empty on Yahoo servers.
I thought that 7.0.3 had initially cleared up this issue but it has reappeared, and I don't know how to fix it.

  • HT6030 Unread mail count still doesn't work for any mail accounts after installing the Nov. 7 Mail fix. I deleted Gmail from my Mac Mail so that's not the problem.

    I still cannot get an Unread Mail count in the Dock even after installing the the Nov. 7 Mavericks update. I deleted my Gmail account from my Mac, so I know that's not a problem. I checked the Mail preferences, and thay is configured correctly. Any suggestions?

    Point noted re multiples posts [ there were loads of  typos in previous]   . Your previous reply  may indeed be one way of  solving my problem. Thanks .
    Nevetheless  why does Apple prodcue "updated " software which isnt properly comptiable or tested;  with the result that it   now  doesnt work well with Gmail when the prevoius version worked fine. You would think an update  would at least work with Gmail as  well as the prevsoius version did.  G mail is  very widely used, so they, Apple,  and probably  Google too are  shooting themselves in the foot if they can't make the software compitable,

  • Unread Mail Count wrong after Time Machine restore

    I, and others on this forum seem to have an unsolved issue having restored from Time Machine backup, so presumably a glitch somewhere in the restore system.
    We have followed the normal advice of rebuilding mailboxes, but it doesn't help.
    Does anyone have an answer to how to reset the unread mail count to zero other than trash all the accounts and manually 'rebuild'
    Thanks
    Stephen

    Hi,
    I cannot take credit for this solution - I found the answer to this by searching through the Mail discussion forums. Another user had 3 emails that he had read, but they were still showing up in his Mail Badge Counter and this is how he fixed it.
    The super-simple-solution:
    Create a "Smart Mailbox" and set it to only contain all unread mail messages. This will grab all of the emails that Mail "thinks" are unread and is marking as such in the badge counter. Select all the emails, mark as read... and you're good to go.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1694 Unread email count is wrong

    Hi,
    Unread email counter is wrong after search. Has been happening for a long time and still no fix from apple.
    Thanks for help

    Hi, jaff067.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you have an unread message counter, but your mail account indicates all mail is read.  This usually means that you have an additional mail account setup.  Check to see if you can access this account or change mailboxes and clear the unread via the steps below.   
    Write messages

  • 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.

  • Mac Mail: Unread mail counter on dock icon shows "phantom" unread mails

    The mailconter of my Mac Mail icon on the dock shows 25 unread messages, but I'm unable to find these inside Mac Mail as unread messages.
    I did check all mailboxes and their subfolders for any undread messages that might be inside them, but I didn't find any.
    Is there any way to reset or recalculate the unread mail counter for the dock icon?

    Hi Robert
    The proposed rebuild did suddenly reveal the 25 unread mails insinde my archive mailfolders. By marking these as read again now shows the correct count of unread mails on the dock icon.
    Thanks a lot, your hint was most helpful!
    Regards

  • Bogus Unread Mail Count?

    Hi,
    I did a synch this morning and seem to have buggered the 'unread' mail count
    that badges the Phone Icon.
    I also upgraded to OSX 10.5.7...
    It asserts that there are 11 unread messages but I cannot find any...
    How can I clear the incorrect mail count?
    Thanks
    Jerry

    I figured it out...
    I think when I did the sync it added a new mail
    account that I had created on my mac for tracking
    my wifes medical correspondence...
    The badge count matched the number of unread mails in
    the new account.

  • Unread Mail Count

    Is it possible to have an application read an unread mail count (in the menu bar, etc.) while the actual Mail app is not active?

    You can get that via AppleScript:
    tell application "Mail"
    set theCount to unread count of mailbox "Junk"
    end tell
    This will tell you how many unread Junk emails you have. Substitute any other mailbox name.

  • Unread message count is wrong in Mail and Dock

    Just last week I noticed that both my Email Inbox & Mail Dock Icon is showing an incorrect unread message count on both my MacBook & iMac. I am using a Microsoft Exchange Hosted account (Office 365) and it is the only email account tied to both of my Macs. My iPhone shows the correct unread message count as well as Outlook Web Access, and on a seperate windows-based computer, Outlook is showing the correct unread message count of 3. Both Mac systems are using OS X 10.7.3 and I have never experienced this issue before.
    The MacBook is showing 39 unread messages, and the iMac is showing 16, in actuality there are 3 unread messages. If I create a smart mailbox that shows only unread messages - it shows up with the correct number (3), when I sort by "Unread Messages" for Inbox, it only shows that I have three unread messages.
    I have rebuilt the inbox, I have deleted the email account from the computer, restarted the computer and then readded it, all it did was bring the unread message count from 19 to 16 on my iMac (still - it should be 3).
    I have also gone to Mail -> Preferences -> General and verified that Show Dock Unread County is set to "Inbox" but oddly enough, when I click "All Mailboxes" the unread count on the Dock changes to 3.
    Is there a file I can delete to reset that unread message count? I feel like I've done everything that's suggested to no avail.
    Thanks!

    There is a small glitch, and you guys are close.
    In Mail Preferences under General, there is the option for:
    Dock Unread Count --
    Your choices in the dropdown are either:
    None
    Inbox Only
    All Boxes
    The problem is that I've often seen the Inbox Only is checkmarked, and stays as checkmarked, even when you last told it to use either None or All Boxes.
    It is possible that Alconic see's Inboxes Only checkmarked, when in fact it's All mailboxes that are set to be showing.
    Try to re-check "Inbox only" even though it's already checked and see what happens...

  • 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.

  • 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?
    Using Version 3.6 (935/935.3) on a MacBook.

    Fixed it per:

  • User unread mail count attribute

    is there any attribute in Exchange 2010 we can use in EMC to know the count of unread mails in a single mailbox?

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, we can't get user's unread information from EMC. But we can get it using EMS. For the unread count, you can use the following scripts to get it.
    $mbcombCollection = @()
    $specificuser = get-mailbox -identity <INSERT USER ALIAS HERE>
        $mbcomb = "" | select DisplayName,EmailAddress,Unread
        $mbcomb.DisplayName = $specificuser.DisplayName.ToString()
        $mbcomb.EmailAddress = $specificuser.WindowsEmailAddress.ToString()
        $mbMailboxEmail = $specificuser.WindowsEmailAddress.ToString()
        "Mailbox : " + $mbMailboxEmail
        $ewc = new-object EWSUtil.EWSConnection($mbMailboxEmail,$false, $null,$null,$null,$null)
        $dTypeFld = new-object EWSUtil.EWS.DistinguishedFolderIdType
        $dTypeFld.Id = [EWSUtil.EWS.DistinguishedFolderIdNameType]::inbox
        $mbMailbox = new-object EWSUtil.EWS.EmailAddressType
        $mbMailbox.EmailAddress = $mbMailboxEmail
        $dTypeFld.Mailbox = $mbMailbox
        $fldarry = new-object EWSUtil.EWS.BaseFolderIdType[] 1
        $fldarry[0] = $dTypeFld
        $fldList = $ewc.GetFolder($fldarry)
        [EWSUtil.EWS.FolderType]$pfld = [EWSUtil.EWS.FolderType]$fldList[0];
            $mbcomb.Unread = $pfld.UnreadCount
        $mbcombCollection += $mbcomb
    $mbcombCollection

  • Unread SMS count is wrong

    My unread message count is 1 all the time. I have gone through all my SMS conversations one by one and none of them should be unread, and none have a blue dot next to them.
    I thought 2.1 would get rid of this but the problem is still there. Has anyone else had this problem?

    The message in question is from a normal number with messages in the SMS app that I can read, and that I reply to many times a day so nothing unusual there. However.....
    * It does not show up in the SMS thread for that number
    * in the database the flag on it is 0 (instead of 2 or 3 for a normal message)
    See below.... the message that doesn't appear in SMS.app and that has a strange 'unread' flag...
    sqlite> select * from message where flags='0';
    140|+44xxphonenumberxx|1219769358|Sender attempted to call you 2 time/s without leaving a message. Last attempt on 26.08.2008, 18:49. Swisscom|0|1||19|0|75|0|0
    deleting the row doesn't work.....
    sqlite> delete from message where ROWID =140;
    SQL error: no such function: read
    updating it to look like a normal row doesn't work either...
    sqlite> update message set flags=2 where flags=0;
    SQL error: no such function: read
    because there are triggers on the message table....
    sqlite> .schema message
    CREATE TRIGGER delete_message AFTER DELETE ON message WHEN NOT read(old.flags) BEGIN UPDATE msg_group SET unread_count = (SELECT unread_count FROM msg_group WHERE ROWID = old.group_id) - 1 WHERE ROWID = old.group_id; END;
    CREATE TRIGGER markmessageread AFTER UPDATE ON message WHEN NOT read(old.flags) AND read(new.flags) BEGIN UPDATE msg_group SET unread_count = (SELECT unread_count FROM msg_group WHERE ROWID = new.group_id) - 1 WHERE ROWID = new.group_id; END;
    Any sqlite help appreciated.... perhaps dumping the triggers to a temporary table, deleting them, removing the row, then putting the triggers back...... I'll try that next time I have some spare time unless someone can find a way in the meantime and post it up.
