Junk mail shows one unread message but folder is empty.
Using Mail 1.3.11, POP account.
My Junk mailbox is indicating one unread message, but the folder is empty.
Since getting the G5 over a year ago (my first exposure to OS X), I've had no problems at all, and Mail (and everything else) has been remarkably stable. This is good, except that I've not really gained any practice for troubleshooting the OS X system, since nothing ever breaks. Ergo, this is all I've done to fix this problem:
Ran sudo periodic daily weekly monthly then repaired permissions. Checked for overfull mailboxes, the sent mailbox was massive (+50mb), so deleted the emails from it.
Nothing worked (obviously). In order to prevent more junk mail from the same fate, I've temporarily disabled junk mail filtering. When I enable it to check, the invisible mail is still there.
The funny (ha ha, she groans) part is, until the past week I couldn't've cared less about junk mail, but I moderate a board where I'm holding a photo contest, with submissions coming to my mailbox, and since they are from unknown addresses, they were going into the junk mailbox until I disabled the filtering.
