Posts in: Help

For months I have had 4 ghost messages in 🍎 Mail. That’s 4 ‘unread messages’ according to the count - but no messages there.

It’s a known problem that has been there through many versions of OSX. In the past, I have always been able to flush it out with various tools like delete the plist, rebuild etc etc.

This time round - nada. I learned to live with it.

Until yesterday.

Out of the blue 13 more got added to the count. They just appeared (if that doesn’t confuse you - because of course the whole point is that they do not actually appear!

So now - a total of seventeen. FFS … Apple. Hello?

Thankyou @vincent

Notes is once more becoming part of my information storage solution. It was already pretty good - but with what I sense is coming later this year - thought I would push some stuff around in ther again. Adding a horizontal line is still ridiculously not easy. BUT I found this, which is a pretty good hack that works.
