Mail showing wrong number of incoming emails

Hi


Does anyone have any idea why, since installing Mavericks, my Mail often shows the wrong number of emails arriving in my inbox? For example it might show 18 incoming messages, when in fact only four arrive in my inbox. There are no Junk messages appearing.


Occasionally it also shows a wrong (larger) number for outgoing too.


Any advice gratefully received!

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Hi paulgilbert,


If you are having an issue with Mail behavior in Mavericks, you may want to make sure that you have installed the most recent Mail Update:
