Flagged Email Count Incorrect in Mac Mail v16.0

My flagged email count is way off on Mac Mail v16.0. I have 20 flagged emails, but the count lists 89. I've rebuilt my mailboxes 3 times. I've deleted all of the envelope files in Library/Mail/V10/ multiple times. I'm running macOSVentura 13.4.1 on a MacBookPro 2023. Attached is a screenshot of my messages with a yellow flag (zero messages), but the count shows 14 as an example.

The current stable release of Ventura including bug fixes, security updates is macOS Ventura 13.5.2 —I would start there and compare your results.

The below has worked for me on Ventura 13.5.2


Quit Mail if it’s open.


• In ~/Library/Mail/V10/MailData, delete any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm.

• Your home Library folder is hidden by default. To display it, choose Finder > “Go to Folder” and then enter “~/Library

• Open Mail.

• Mail creates new Envelope Index files. This process may take a few minutes, depending on how many messages Mail is reindexing.

• It will fix your issue.
