[OSX-Users] Mail problems - maybe Mavericks, maybe IOS, maybe neither, maybe Exchange - who knows?

[Hugh Glaser]

Hi,
A bit of a long one.
I have been having a sense that sometimes I don’t see messages in Mail as soon as I should, and in fact some never seemed to get there, as well as the “read” flag not synching properly.
Yesterday I watched as someone in ECS saw a message I sent them probably flash up, and then it disappeared, and as far as I know hasn’t appeared.
I thought it may have been a local spam filter, but now I think maybe not.
I began to connect with what I am getting, and decided there may be a more widespread problem.

Just now, I was sitting looking at an IMAP account, and there was a message on both my new iPhone and my very old iPad, but it was not showing at all in my Mavericks Mail.
I quit and came back, and it finally appeared.
I went googling, and didn’t find a lot, although this is perhaps relevant:

(I have no problems I see with my Gmail accounts, which is perhaps surprising.)
So I decided to do a “Rebuild” of some accounts.
The Rebuild of my University Exchange account (MAPI, I assume) was interesting, although may yet prove disastrous :-)
An old message got flagged as unread, but it looks pretty much the same, I think.
However, the iPhone and iPad mail then only had the last 5 messages (of more than 100 that should be there), even though I haven’t touched them.
There seems nothing I can do to see the whole Inbox, although I have not yet deleted and recreated the accounts, which I may end up doing.
The SUSSED view is the same as the OSX Mail view, I think.

So, hopefully that is useful information if others are seeing some problems.
And maybe others have some intelligence themselves on all this?

Best
Hugh
