...I actually don't have that many.

How do I fix this? I use IMAP and Mac Mail functions perfectly..except lately it shows a huge number at the top for the inbox amount.

Thanks!

Have you tried rebuilding your mailboxes (under Mailbox->Rebuild)?

[frankmcma]

Yes..it works for a minute..but then if I switch to another folder and then back to it it snaps back to the huge amount. I've tried rebuilding the inbox folder several times with the same result.

I had the same issue with a gmail IMAP...it went away after several system updates and i didnt really pay attention to when it went away

Yes, I've seen that as well. You could try vacuuming the sql lite database. In Terminal type:
sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index vacuum

Any other ideas?

Anyone else find a fix? Or having the same problem?
