Unread VIP messages counter on iCloud shows wrong numbers

Hi,
I have VIP inboxes set up. They appear on my Mac, iPhone and iCloud.com. The unread VIP messages counter on my Mac and iPhone are showing the correct numbers of unread VIP messages. However, the counter on iCloud shows wrong numbers.
Does anymore have the same experience?
I deleted the VIP inbox on iCloud.com and re-created it. Then the issue was solved. Some days later, however, it started counting wrongly again.
Example:
Peter is a VIP for me.
1. I receive 2 messages from Peter, so the unread VIP messages counter on my Mac, iPhone and iCloud.com raises to 2.
2. I read both messages
3. The unread VIP messages counter on my iPhone and Mac vanished, and so does the general unread mail counter.
4. On iCloud.com, my general unread mail counter would also be 0 but the VIP unread mail counter would still be 2. The VIP inbox does not show any unread email, tough.
Best regards,
Marc

I've reported this error twice via Apple's iCloud feedback page on the website - http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html
No solution as yet... but an earlier VIP bug (where, if the same contact sometimes sends as "@mac.com" and sometimes "@me.com", they had to have separate VIP mailboxes) was fixed. (At least, I think it was fixed: if you put all the relevant addresses against the same single contact in iCloud and delete any other instances of the contact with the same address, then iCloud creates one amalgamated VIP inbox for them. But I digress.)
The mis-count bug has been around since the day VIP appeared - hopefully getting a bit embarrassing for someone on the iCloud team? Maybe someone at Apple reading this?

Mail: New Message Count Doesn't Show

I'm using Lion.
One of my account inboxes (but not all) does not show the new message count. All of my accounts use Gmail IMAP. The Badge shows up in the Dock, but inside of Mail, that account does not indicate that there is new mail.
Suggestions?

Thanks to MaxB who helped me, and may help you:
I completely forgot about this post. I was able to resolve the issue when I went into my email account settings and changed my user name from just XYZ to [email protected] and when I saved the changes the count instantly updated after a restart of Mail.
I hope this works for you too.

Icloud shows wrong apple id , how do i change it

icloud shows wron apple id , how do i change it to the correct apple id

To change the iCloud ID on your phone go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you want to use. (This only deletes the account from your phone, not from iCloud.) If you are signing back into the same account with just a renamed ID, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. Your iCloud data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new iCloud account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then choose Merge after signing into the new account and turning on your iCloud syncing to upload your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, save your photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

Ios 7 unread mail message count wrong

The unread mail count always indicates unread mail even though all the mail has been read.
This is happening on my iphone 4 ios 7. Does not happen on the same account using MTL mail (10.8.5).
I have tried deleting my envelop index, rebuilding mailboxs, synchronizing mail on my mac. Also removing & reinstalling mailbox from iphone.
Still there. Its my yahoo account using pop mail. Always worked before updating to ios 7.
thanks
jeff

Go to Mail inbox, select edit from top right, click Mark all, then Mark as read. Should clear it up

ICloud showing wrong ID

I am unable to access iCloud in Lion directly from my computer because the iCloud icon in System Preferences invites me to give a password for an Apple ID which is NOT my ID. The iCloud login from the iCloud icon should get this ID from my account in User&Groups. This previously had an old e-mail address down as the Apple ID (which was never used for anything) but the ID ihas now been corrected in Users&Groups but does not transfer to the iCloud login. Any suggestions?
I have no trouble with my ID and password for everything else

Then maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but signing out shouldn't be difficult.

Keyword list panel is showing wrong numbers near keywords

According to the keyword list panel, I have one photo assigned two words as keyword, but I don't have such a photo in my catalog. How can correct the numbers appearing near keywords in the keyword list panel?

Filters don't show a photo if it is at the back of a stack.
Would it not be more handy and functional, if filters work on stacked photos as well?

Inbox and Drafts show unread message count of all folders within. Can I get the local folders to do this too?

I'm filtering mail into folders in the local folder tree. There may be two or three levels, e.g., Local Folders -> Lists -> OS -> MacOSX. Mail that is unread in the MacOSX folder is counted and displayed when the MacOSX folder is visible. However, keeping the entire tree on display is a nuisance and it is long, so I don't see things ate the bottom. I have to scroll to reveal the rest of the items in the folder tree. For these reasons I'd prefer to have the folder tree in its minimal state.
Is it possible to have the the top level folders display an unread message count for all the enclosed folders?

when I collapse the folder tree of local folders, it shows the unread count for sub folders.

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.

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...

IPhone 4S Mail All Inboxes shows 4,294,967,289 unread mail messages

1. On my iPhone 4S in the Mail app, if I go into the Mailboxes and look at my Inboxes it shows 4,294,967,289 mail messages (see screen shot). This number is clearly incorrect, as I don't have any unread emails, and my accounts don't have anywhere near this number of emails. Of course my mail icon on the home screen doesn't show anything because the number is (incorrectly) too large.
2. On my iPad 2 in the Mail app (with the same iCloud and gmail accounts all synced up), if I go into the Mailboxes and look at my Inboxes it shows no unread mail messages, which is correct. If I get a new message, then it will show the number of unread messages accurately (1 or 2 or whatever).
Has anyone seen this problem? I deleted all my mail accounts in the iPhone and added them back again, but that did not correct the problem. I am up to date on all software as well.
Thanks for the help.

The number 4,294,967,290 corresponds to negative 6 in base 32.
It's a bug with the way gmail is reporting unread messages, or the way your iPhone is counting them. A restore should fix it.
Short of restoring your iPhone try this: Make sure you have read all your messages and the unread message count remains 4,294,967,290. Then, send six messages to your gmail account. Do not open them.
If that resets your "unread mail" count to zero then never open those six messages

Some solutions for screwy unread message counts

I've recently found solutions to two Mail.app (version 2.0.5) problems
I'd been having, and figured I'd share them. My apologies if these
duplicate things already said here by othersq; a quick Google didn't
turn these up for me.
Problem 1: Mail spontaneously becomes unread after reading it. In my
case, at least, this was directly correlated with installing the
GPGMail plugin, and went away when I removed the plugin. According to
http://www.sente.ch/Lists/gpgmail-users/Message/847.html you can solve
this problem by tweaking GPGMail's configuration; I haven't tried this
myself yet, but will soon.
Problem 2: Unread message counts are sometimes unreasonably high in
IMAP folders. In my case, I would receive one piece of email, and my
"Unread Messages" Smart Folder would report that I had 8 unread pieces
of email. When I would click on the folder, it would show me just the
one piece of mail, and the count next to the smart folder would go
away.
I should note here that I had configured Mail.app NOT to move deleted
messages to a Trash folder.
It turns out that when I selected View->View Deleted Messages, I could
see another 7 unread --- but deleted --- messages. (All were spam that
I had manually "moved" to another folder, which, when Mail.app is
configured not to move deleted messages to a Trash folder, leaves
behind a deleted copy in the original folder. Oddly, when Mail.app
is configured to move deleted messages to a Trash folder, moving a
message leaves no deleted body behind in either the source folder, or
in the Trash folder. This seems inconsistent to me, but that's
another matter entirely.)
Anyhow, the 8-or-0 count seems to be due to an inconsistency in how
Mail.app counts deleted-yet-unread messages: when a new message comes
in, it includes deleted, but unread, messages in its unread message
count; but after you've read that new message, it no longer includes
deleted, but unread, messages when it updates the count. So the count
goes from 8 to 0... until the next time you get mail.
Incidentally, another side-effect of this bug is that partial copies
of an email message saved in your Drafts folder, and then deleted when
you sent the mail, cause the Drafts folder to show a non-zero count
whenever you receive a new piece of mail --- even though clicking on
it will show it to be empty (until you start viewing deleted
messages.)
The workaround for all of this seems to be to configure Mail.app to
always move deleted messages to the Trash folder I think this is
probably the default configuration; I had changed it for reasons which
I no longer remember.
I am posting this information to the apple.com mail suport forum and
to the macintouch mail.app forum, and I am reporting the bug to Apple
via the ADC bugtracker.
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Sorry I am marking this solved, but it never was.
The best thing that could be done is to rely on Time Machine, or forward all of your incoming email to another address.
Apparently, there is no way to do what I asked. But there should be. So Apple, please fix this.
Again, sorry I am marking it as solved.

How to get unread message count

I m working in mail application where i need to get the unread message count.Can anyone help me out in solving this issue ,is there any specific method available in javamail to get this count.
Thanx in Advance

Is there some reason you're unable to read the
javadocs? Did you find them too confusing?
What's wrong with the method Folder.getUnreadMessageCount?
Oh, and if you're using POP3 instead of IMAP,
read the FAQ and the com.sun.mail.pop3 package
javadocs.

At the bottom of the page Settings > Messages you should have a section headed "SMS/MMS" Turn MMS messaging on then you can turn group message on.

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
MBP 15; 2.16 ghz; 2gb RAM; 100gb; Mac OS X (10.4.10) Palm Treo 680 + Cisco 1242 WAP + xo.net + Hyatt Embarcadero room service

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.
