smart mailbox unread counts wrong

I'm adding my name, too. Just in case Apple posts a fix.

BTW mine has a certain randomness to it. sometimes the count is correct, sometimes its wrong (i.e. junk mail messages are counted as unread). As with everyone else, I did an upgrade to Mavericks, and now its bust.

I did notice that if I "mark as read" any message that my rule moves to the junk mail box, then it doesn't count as unread. However, that defeats the separate count of number of items in my Junk box.

I did the re-indexing and it worked, but after a few months the problem comes back again.

Hopefully this gets fixed in the next version of OS X / Mail.

Thank you. Same issue on Yosemite could be solved like that.

Is this issue solved under Yosemite?

I keep deleting the envelope-index files like twice a month, you know, like it is described in the article Mail (Mavericks): Reindex messages

After that, it takes Mail one and a half hour to 'import mailboxes' (I have build up quite a lot of mail since 1991).

I would like to look forward to getting rid of this issue. Updating to 10.9.5 did not help unfortunately.

Yosemite did not resolve the issue for me. However, I finally found solution after trying everything in this thread. I deleted my email accounts (all imap) and then added my email accounts again from within mail. I should have thought of that solution a long time ago!

I’m disappointed to see people saying that Yosemite hasn’t fixed this. I was hoping that it was going to be fixed under Mavericks, but now that Yosemite is out I dropped that hope.

Frustrating...

i think this is the answer to most of the problems. When i get round to updating to Yosemite, i'm going toget rid of all Internet Accounts and Email accounts and re add all...

I am astounded Apple could have such a serious issue in something as fundamental to computing as its flagship Mail program.

This issue (or erroneous message counts, unread counts, sporadic not-so-smart folders, etc.) when I updated to Mavericks. Perhaps even the release before that (10.8.x). Today I jumped up to latest Yosemite. Same problem. 27000+ people have looked at this forum thread. No solution from Apple.

With that off my chest...

I am disinclined to remove and re-add, or to reindex my mail accounts as I have a few gig of data (mail going back a long way). It's a massive amount of downloading to keep repeating whilst attempting to resolve Apple's Mail issues.

Would someone please advise, does deleting the Mail envelop files result in a full reindex (much like the Reindex option from within Mail itself)? i.e. Resulting in a full redownload of the emails. ?

Thank you,

Jonathan
