Unread messages issues

This was happening on my old PB and I've finally upgraded to a MBP w/ Leopard. I love every aspect of it except...
I have multiple emails, all are IMAP (1 .mac, 1 gmail, 2 gmail apps) so there are 4 boxes under Mailboxes. Then there are the expanded folders for each mailbox below. When I read the messages under "Mailboxes" it doesn't mark as read in the expanded boxes. Why does it do that, or rather, it doesn't do that.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

This is a user-to-user tech support forum. We can't fix anything for you. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appopriate link on the Feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
It appears to be working as intended. If you don't want people to know that you've read your messages, you can turn that feature off in Settings>Messages.
Best of luck.

Mail, unread message issue/phantom unread message. Help!

Hi,
I deleted an unread message from one of my mailboxes on Mail, but even though it deleted the message and I have emptied the trash, it is still telling me I have an unread message. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? I have deleted the account and recreated it. Marked all messages as unread and then read, but still no luck. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

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

Unread messages issue (drafts, sent, and rules)

Out of nowhere (but after apple updated MobileMe mail) I've been getting messages that were successfully sent added to my drafts folder and marked unread. This is also happening with sent messages. Why would sent messages ever be unread?
Also, I've got a rule transfers a number of messages to a specific mailbox and marks them as read. Its working fine up to the "mark as read" instruction. I've deleted and re-added that instruction to no avail.
This is all with a MobileMe address. No other addresses are having this problem.
Anyone else have this happening?

I have same problem - keeps showing sent items as unread on both .me & other IMAP account - Mobileme sync or Mail issue??

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.

How do I clear unread message in Apple Mail?

Using Apple Mail 6.6 on a MacBook Pro running OX X 10.8.5. Our Exchange server is 2007/2010. Besides my Exchange mail, I have 2 Gmail accounts and one iCloud account in Apple Mail. I have no issues with the Gmail or iCloud accounts.
Currently, I have 34 "unread" message from my Exchange account in Apple Mail. On my iPhone, iPad and Outlook (PC), I have 0 unread messages. When I filter Apple Mail for unread messages, there are none. It's as if these are phantom unread messages. I did a rebuild of the Exchange account in Apple Mail and I deleted and re-installed the Exhange Account in Apple Mail. And still I am left with these mysterious 34 unread messages.
It is really annoying. Any thoughts?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Warning: The process may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. For reasonable-sized mailboxes, it should only take a few minutes.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

How do I make a notification go away after I have read all the messages and it still says that I have an unread message?

My messages app says I have an unread message from someone, but I have no unread messages. How do I make the notification go away?

Hi,
I have had chats/conversations that have shown the blue "unread" indicator which goes if you reselect the chat but appears again when you select another Chat.
I have also had the red Unread number indicator showing on the Dock icon badge as a separate issue.
This second I have resolved in Force Quitting the DOCK in Activity Monitor ( I will use Terminal but prefer an User Interface option).
The first I tend to solve by dismissing that particular Chat/Conversation.
As you have tried the DOCK reset method by both the recommended methods of doing so I would try a PRAM/NVRAM reset.
Restart the Mac holding down the CMD+ALT+P+R keys all at the same time until you have heard three Start up Bongs.
You can then let the Start up Continue.

Why do messages I delete on one of my email accounts on my iPhone keep reappearing as new unread messages?

I have several email accounts on my iphone. I am having trouble with my sbcglobal.net address whereby messages I delete reappear as unread new messages (same date). This seems to happen with the last 50 or so messages in my inbox. When those are deleted, 50 or so old messages are then received as new, unread messages. This does not happen with any of my other email accounts on my iphone and it does not happen on my mac or ipad.
This was true prior to upgrading to ios 5 and icloud (I thought the upgrade might resolve the issue)
Thanks for any help.

IPad4, sorry

Mail: wrong unread messages count – fix instead of workaround?

hello. Although I welcome the idea to set up an unread mails smart folder in addressing this issue (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5857003&#5857003, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5657501&#5657501 etc.), I'd consider this a workaround rather than a fix. The real problem seems to be that mail no longer displays the unread messages in the inbox, account box, mailbox … as it should. Is there an actual fix to that? Like setting back some cache file or something (hope apple will have that solved in the next update)?

Wow. That was swift. Hello Pascal.
and you have indeed chosen the "inbox" option for dock unread count in mail>preferences>general?
yes. Then it disappears, and reappears as I set it back to all mailboxes—but this should work with all mailboxes, shouldnt't it?
and you have created a smart mailbox to hunt down unread emails and mark them as read?
yes, of course. That's a good workaround. But it's a workaround, not a fix. There were unread mails in one of the mailboxes, and they should have been indicated as such, as they indeed usually are. But sometimes aren't.
if you have done both of these i would suggest a couple of things:
1) quit mail, reboot, launch mail again, see if that solves the issue, if not then,
done that
2) get rid of the current icon on the dock, go to the applications folder, select mail.app and drag a fresh icon to the dock, see if that solves the issue, if not then
It doesn't. It's not just the dock, it's also the application switcher (the one you get holding cmd-tab)
3) make sure you have back ups of your mailboxes in you have pop accounts especially, then quit mail and trash the com.apple.mail.plist file in homefolder/library/preferences - do note that once you do that you will have to create your email accounts in mail - then launch mail again and recreate your email account(s)
I may do that if it reoccurs too often.
thanks

Unread messages count is wont for Smart Mailbox

Has anyone else noticed that a smart mailbox has a non-zero unread message count but as soon as it is clicked on the count is reset to zero? Zero is correct because all of the messages have been read. I've tried rebuilding the inbox but it hasn't helped. I also recreated the smart mailbox but that didn't help either. Sounds like a bug to me but I wonder if others have experienced it. I am using Mail Tags so that is a possible complication.

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.

Mail's dock icon is "badged" with 300 "unread" messages?

Hello, I'm having an issue in Apple Mail wherein every time I open the app, it badges the dock icon with 300 unread messages.... but the app itself (i.e. Main window) shows NO new messages. Anyone have any clue what's going on?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
PS - For my system specs, see my sig, as they're always kept up-to-date.

Thanks Mulder! Worked like a charm (mostly).
Let me clarify about the mostly part.
I followed the directions you gave and lo and behold my "dock count" was back to normal. The only problem was, all of my RSS articles are showing a header that looks like an email, instead of an RSS message. (Y'know with the Blue...)
I've written down all of the RSS feeds I'm subscribed to in TextEdit. I'll go to each site and add them again manually and get back with you if that works.
Thanks again!

BUG REPORT - MfE Unread message counter problem

For some reason the MfE on my Nokia E7 shows that I have exactly nine unread messages more than their actual number. If all messages in the Inbox are read, the counter shows (9), with 2 unread messages the MfE displays (11) etc.
On the PC, the counter shows the correct figure. As a result, I suspect there is bug in the MfE application and not in the MS Exchange we use as company mail.
With my private Gmail account on the same handset there is no problem.

Hello allyk86. Thank you for sharing your issue and I understand how this issue would be very nerve wrecking. I have seen some other reports of this issue and our product team recommends downloading this hot fix to your phone http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/fixunreadcount.shtml. Please click on FixUnreadCount.exe under download on that page (from your phone) and let me know if this resolves your issue.

Deleting Multiple (unread) messages aka Mouse Misbehaving

I am running the latest version of Leopard and Mail on my G5. I noticed that after activating Mobile Me that when I read mail and delete a message, that the one above (not read yet) also deletes. I then have to go to Edit > Undelete to get my unread message back. Thinking it might have been a Mobile Me issue, I stopped syncing Mail and have only the calendar in sync mode. That did not solve the issue.
Don't know if it is related, but I also note that with multiple windows open, when I reposition a window by grabbing the header, the window minimizes instead of letting me drag it to its new location.
I have not changed the mouse, no third party software etc.

moransl88,
Thanks for reaching out to us. I can see how that can become annoying after awhile. I would like to see if we can help with getting you back on track. What kind of device do you have? Please keep us posted.

Yahoo! Mail in Mail App on iPad 2 iOS 7.0.3 Shows Unread Message Count

Yahoo! Mail in Mail App on iPad 2 iOS 7.0.3 shows unread message count when the Inbox is empty. This has been an ongoing issue since iOS 7 rolled out. I was hoping with this latest update that this problem would be fixed. Just wanted to report it. If someone knows where bugs get reported, I'd appreciate the link.
None of my other mail programs have this problem.
I perform a reset (holding down the Home button and the Power button) and sometimes this clears it out and sometimes not. Plus, I don't want to reset my iPad on a constant basis just to clear my mail count.
Any insight or additional information is appreciated.

I think it's an issue with yahoo. I have the same basic set up as you and will open my mail, see that I have 4 unread for example, read them, exit mail and have the red bubble still reading 4 unread mail. Usually it catches up and corrects in a little bit.
Probably jus a glitch between yahoo and the mail app and not much you can do as a user but wait it out or get used to it...or I understand that there's a yahoo app if it really bugs you.
