Gmail Badge won’t update: Apple Support Communities

Gmail Badge won’t update: Apple Support Communities. Nice solution by Scott Nash. I wonder if this is a weakness with Lion Mail?

Ok.  With the help of tech support, I managed to fix this problem.  Since I’m clearly NOT a moron who just doesn’t know what I’m doing, I suspect it’s possible others might have the same problem.  The issue was the envelope index file in the library.

~library/mail/v2/mail data/envelope index

If you delete that file it forces a ‘deep rebuild’ that recollects ALL your metadata.  It does not have recall your data from the servers, just the hard drive so it’s pretty quick.  After about four minutes of rebuilding, all my stuff reappeared and the badges were correct.

This is similar, but more extensive than the ‘rebuild’ at the bottom of the mailbox menu.  That didn’t work, but this did.

Mail Send Failed – “Milter rejected…: Apple Support Communities. Interesting. The work arounds seem to be two things:

  1. Turn off SSL
  2. Change from smtp.mac.com on part: 587 to port 25.
  3. Get another email provider

Sending from Mail: Apple Support Communities

Thanks Ernie Stamper.

Quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes and locate the Outbox.mbox folder. Is there one? If you open it, does the Messages folder within it have any content?

Drag the Outbox.mbox folder from its location to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail, and attempt to send. Then in the Finder again, check to see if Mail has created a new Outbox.mbox folder, and to learn if this new message was in fact sent?
