4s marking NEW emails as 'read' as they are downloaded from server

I've got a 4s running iOS 6.1.3. Our work email is hosted on a POP3 server but but we have to set it up on our iPhones as a IMAP because setting it up as a POP3 causes a number of other problems. The problem I am having is that my PHONE is marking new emails as 'read' when it downloads them from the server before they have ever been view. I know this problem exists on the phone because they are not marked as read on the host server. I have logged into the email account online to verify this and they are not marked as read anywhere but on my iPhone. I have two different work email accounts, a Hotmail account and 2 Gmail accounts set up on this phone. I have this problem with BOTH work accounts but none of the others. One of the work accounts has ALLLL of the new emails marked as read. Earlier today I had 20 email scome thru all at once while I had my phone in my hand. I watched them all download and then watched as one by one they were all marked as 'read' without me doing anything. I am the only one in my office having this problem and I personally set up all of their iPhones just like mine. I have no clue what is wrong or how to fix it. It is not a new problem for me as it has been going on for over a year. But this weekend I missed a very important email because I didn't receive the new mail notification. Something like this could cost me my job.

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

  • How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    Have you seen this?
    Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
    A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
    If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

  • Mail.app marks messages as read when they are downloaded

    I'm using mail to pop my messages from an exchange server, and the messages are being left on the server, but marked as read. I want them to be left as unread - is there any way to do this?
    Most recent version of Mail and Snow Leopard.
    Thanks!

    I don't know if it will work, but try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

  • Why, all of a sudden, are the emails I send, showing they are coming from my husbands email.

    Why, all of a sudden, are the emails I send from my ipad, showing my husbands email on them as the sender?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • OS X Server 3.0.1 and OS X Mavericks: Managed Preferences not Removing on Mac After They are Removed from Server

    I just upgraded my server to OS X Server 3.0.1 and am testing changing some managed preferences on my MacBook Air with OS X Mavericks.  Initially from the upgrade the security & privacy and users & groups is disabled.  I changed the settings in profile manager, and the push was successful.  I then restarted my macbook air, and after logging in, it stalls and says "Updating Managed Preferences..."  it stalls for about one minute and then logs in.  Those preferences that I allowed in Profile Manager are still grayed out as if the preferences are not updating.  Has anyone see this or have any idea how to troubleshoot?
    Thank you.

    Dnar,
    Thanks for the follow up bit about using the smbutil statshares command.  I used that and could confirm that I am also able to force it to connect with smb2.  Oddly though, in the stat share info it still says "AUTO_NEGOTIATE"
                                  SMB_NEGOTIATE                 AUTO_NEGOTIATE
                                  SMB_VERSION                   SMB_2.1
    But maybe that just means something else and not the fact that it did not auto negotiate to SMB.  I guess for now this will be what I have to do to use smb2.
    I think in this case the AUTO_NEGOTIATE merely means it will auto negotiate a connection between SMB1, SMB2, and (from your data) also SMB2.1 this would have nothing to do with auto negotiating between SMB2 and AFP, which from this thread appears broken.
    I also would like to thank Brandon for the tip about smbutil statshares, I had been looking for a simple way to tell what version of SMB was being used to test my NAS.
    For everyone's benefit, it would appear from the above that whilst Apple advertise Mavericks as using SMB2 they have gone as far as implementing SMB2.1 and merely list it only as SMB2 for simplicity and due to the fact there is not a huge different between SMB2 and SMB2.1

  • Firefox 13.0 marks my "New" emails as "Read" even if I haven't read them yet

    When I go to read my emails, I will notice I have emails that I "did not" read as having been "read".
    They are not "highlighted" letting me know that they are "new". Is anyone else experiencing this?

    I couldn't reproduce this and I just sent myself a test email from my gmail account. Are you using the new Yahoo Mail interface or the old one?

  • HT203216 How to mark all emails as read on the Iphone

    How do you mark all emails as read on the IPhone? When I updated the IOS system it brough emails from my laptop as unread

    No, there's no global 'mark as read' option.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
    For IMAP accounts, though, if the mail was read elsewhere, it should not be marked as new mail on the phone. This is the case for my IMAP and Exchange accounts - if I read the mail in Outlook or another mail client, the new mail mark is gone from the iPhone after the next mail sync. For POP, that won't be the case, since POP mail 'lives' on the client it's always going to be new to the iPhone even if already read in another client.

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    In the preinstalled email application, you need to long press one email to mark it. When an email is marked, you can either press the emails you want to mark as read or you can press in the top left corner to mark all your emails. You can then press the "Mark as read/unread" button in the top right corner.

  • I have a smartmail box and a 1 in a bubble next to it. I see no new emails to read so how do I find the ONE it says is there? if it is a glitch, how do I get rid of that bubble?

    I have a smartmail box and a 1 in a bubble next to it. I see no new emails to read so how do I find the ONE it says is there? if it is a glitch, how do I get rid of that bubble?

    Try rebuilding the mailbox.
    First select the offending mailbox. Then click on Mailbox in the menu bar, and select Rebuild. If the bubble goes away, it was a glitch. If it does not go away there is one unread message in that Mailbox.
    To find that one:
    In Mail, go to View / Sort by / Unread. That should bring the unread email to the top of the list.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. However it converts all my pdf files to Photoshop Elements 10 so I can not email them because no one can read them they are not pdf files anymore. What do I do?

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. However it converts all my pdf files to Photoshop Elements 10 so I can not email them because no one can read them they are not pdf files anymore. What do I do?

    Nothing has been converted. You first need to convince yourself of this.
    Start Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat, if you have it). Use Open from the File menu. Pick one of your PDF files. Does it open OK? If not, what happens?
    Ok, these emails. What exactly happens when trying to open them?

    Use your PC to sign-on to your mail service using the browser interface they provide. Delete all the e-mails you don't want on the server. That will prevent the iPad from downloading them.
