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.

MyEmail.com – Web Access to POP and IMAP Email Service Review – About Email. I had a friend sign up for this and when we tried to use it today it gave an error. We tried several times over several hours and it always said internal error when she logged in. Very disappointing service. I would avoid this company. They also have an F at BBB.

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?

How to DISABLE automatically making a message as read in Mail

SquidlyMan figures out his own issue.

Ok…I take part of what I said back. It was MailActOn by InDev which allowed me to not automatically have a message marked as read.  See http://indev.ca/MailActOn.html for more info.

Apparently the version I had loaded wasn’t compatible with Lion Mail.app.  Since updating it, I know have this feature again.

Connected – Get all your contacts and conversations in one place | WiredCPU.com. If you have a wide variety of contacts from many social networks, this might be just the tool for you. If this is too much, you may also want to consider Zimbra Desktop. I am using it and it has more features than Gmail while syncing with Gmail/Google in several ways.

Has anyone noticed that StumbleUpon seems to have more errors lately?

StumbleUpon has been suggesting pages for me the last two weeks and the majority of them have been in error. They are either domain expired, or 404 pages. Are other people experiencing this?

I report those pages faithfully but I seem to get more error pages not less of them. Is it possible that SU uses people who report error pages, to cross check the error pages that other people have reported? I feel that the more I report error pages, the more error pages I see. Am I going crazy? Where is Nomad when you need him?
