All email messages are marked as read with imap account automatically.

I have a imap account pointing to an exchange 2007 server. The messages are being marked as read automatically. I removed any settings on a computer accessing the same account with outlook, that might be causing this.

Let me clarify what I said across all the responses in this topic. If you are operating a PC with say Outlook Express or Windows Mail, and a Mac with Mail, and furthermore if both are able to download a message from a POP server, and on both computers it is marked as Unread, then reading the message on one of the computers will not cause it to then be marked as Read on the other, operating in POP.
But if the server makes the assumption that the first computer to download a message from it means that it is also then Read, then of course taking away one of the computers will alter things. This is what I said in:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10506769#10506769
If you can disprove this, then lay out your facts in detail, but don't mix looking at the server with Firefox on one computer, and Mail on still another. Firefox is not an email client, but a browser. Using Thunderbird on the PC, and Mail on the Mac would be an equivalent test.

Yahoo mail, problem messages are marked as read

hi,
i am able to read the messages from yahoo mail using pop3, but even new messages are marked as read once retrieved through client code.
How to leave new messages as unread?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
-Satish.

As explained in the JavaMail FAQ, the POP3 protocol,
and thus the POP3 driver for JavaMail, does not
support any flags for messages.
I don't know what you mean when you say that new
messages are marked as read when retrieved by
client code. POP3 doesn't know what's new or what's
read. The Yahoo web interface might be assuming
that messages retrieved by a POP3 client have been
read, however. I don't know of any way to control
that.

Bug? Imap messages are marked as read before I read them

I have set up an email account pointing back to my host mail server. Using imap (I assume I am because it wants to use port 143), messages are downloaded, but they immediately appear as read - rather than unread.
Is this a bug? If not, how do I fix this?

Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Who is hosting the email server?
Is this through your work?
Are you hosting your own email server?
Have you ever downloaded from this email server on another mobile device?
If this is an IMAP email, and if the email is being checked at another location by anyone then it would be marked as read. This could also be a setting issue on the email server itself.

Messages not being marked as Read on IMAP account on iMac

I use the Mail application on my iMac to read my Gmail. I have it set up as IMAP, and it has worked very well for a long time. Recently, however, I noticed that if I read my mail on my iPhone, or my work computer (both of which have the correct IMAP settings), the messages are not being marked as Read (unbolded) on my iMac. I have to quit and restart Mail for the messages to be unbolded.
Not a big issue, but I wonder why it is happeneing, and how to correct it?

I'm getting this too. Switching to a different folder and back gets rid of the blue dot. This only happens with my exchange account. All other accounts work normally.

Mail showing one unread message when all messages are marked as read

Wondering if anyone else was having any weird issues with their iCloud and unread count in the Mail app on their mac running lion? I can't seem to get rid of a phantom unread message. My iCloud account is fairly new so I don't have that many messages to go through so I know there is not an unread message any where. Any help would be appreciated
Cheers,
Rabah

I have had the same issue with my Microsoft exchange email after upgrading to Lion. It's a bit annoying. My iPad, Android Phone, and viewing it using a browser all show 0 unread, but Mail shows 3 unread. I have tried deleting the account, rebuilding, and pawing through settings looking for something I missed. Nothing. I actually had the same problem with my MobileMe email with Snow Leopard but I eventually permanently removed the account as other problems arose and just used it in my browser.
Sorry I couldn't help but I hope it's resolved.

Hi! Since I installed Mavericks, all the messages in mail I receive are marked as read, when they're not! Can anyone explain to me how to make them appear as not read, so I notice them? Thank's

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

All messages are marked as spam, 5.7.1 ? how do I fix this, I can receive messages but cant send.

All messages are marked as spam, 5.7.1 ? how do I fix this, I can receive messages but cant send.

Oh with the rot that goes on with emails and spam filters these days almost anything can be considered spam. Mail addresses to your self can be all that is required for it to be spam on some systems, so test using your email address to check it is working must be done with an account not hosted bu the same provider, given the web site is not blacklisted.
I checked before replying, as brand new web sites are often blacklisted because they share a server or IP address range that is blacklisted (Poor neighborhood) or the server is run from a dynamic IP address and therefore considered to be a home computer with an infection.
One thing you can try is go to the account settings on the tools menu, open the settings pane by clicking on the account name and removing any reply to address. (some spam filters get all excited about reply to addresses. If that does not work I suggest you contact hostbox for a more detailed instruction on why your mail is considered "confirmed spam".
But please let us know how you get on.

HT201269 Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account

Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?

Yes.
On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

I cannot print ANYTHING frmo the internet/email at all; only from Word. Comcast & Kodak say it's a FireFox problem. All the letters are little square ones with 1 to 2 spaces in between each word.

Caused by a Bug in Firefox 4.0b12. It was fixed on Monday in the 4.0b13 pre "tester" nightly's. The fix will be in the 4.0 Release Candidate.

IPad iOS 8.2 still won't allow delete of ALL email messages at once?

iOS 8.2 still won't allow deletion of ALL email messages at once from my iPad? What could be the reason for this? The work-around solutions I see on Internet work erratically for me.
I'm an Android cellphone user so can delete all emails from my phone with a click or two. Is that a patent issue for Apple? There is no way to delete ALL email messages easily?

Had the same problem. There is an undocumented way under another thread and it works, but is clunky and very un-Mac-like.
The Apple thread that I got the undocumented answer from is:
Delete all email in Inbox iOS7
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5421295?start=15&tstart=0
I've copied the answer below:
From inbox edit
MARK ALL AS READ (for me and several others in the thread it only works, when I marked all as read)
Highlight first email
Hold move button
Try to unhighlight first email (probably won't )
Still holding move button pull down on mails and then try to unhighlight first email again
This time it should
You will notice the inbox seems frozen as move is no longer highlighted and individual emails will not highlight if you touch them
Wait May take a minute or two depending on how many emails are in your inbox but they will move to the right side
Then just touch trash
The YouTube link that demonstrates this is:

Hope this helps!

Email not being marked as read

I've got an ongoing problem where when I read email on one device, it is still marked as unread on my other devices. To get another device to mark the email as read, I must open the mail app (as the foreground application, not just running in the background), and go to the inbox. Then, after about 20 seconds of waiting, it will mark the emails that I've previously read on another device as read.
I have a MacBook Pro, an iPhone, and an iPad, and it is tedious and irritating and confusing to always have these phantom new messages showing on every device, which turn out to be the emails that I've read elsewhere many hours prior.
I've tried experimenting with different push settings for Mail, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Is there anything I can do to have my various devices stay in active sync in regards to when emails are marked as read?

If you haven't already tried, you might try deleting and adding back the account on all effected devices. To do this on an iOS device, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Mail off, then back on. To do this on a Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac then go back and check Mail again.

Your Emitac Mobile Solutions LLC email service is deactivated, Email messages are no longer being sent to your Blackberry device

Hi
I just got this message yesterday: Your Emitac Mobile Solutions LLC email service is deactivated, Email messages are no longer being sent to your Blackberry device.
And since then, i havent being able to set up more than one email and i subscribed for 4.
I have rebooted\,, sent service books and hard set the phone so many times.
What should i do?
Thank you

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
From your post, I cannot quite tell if you did all of this, in exactly this way. Hence, with a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your configurations for the affected email accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

Since 10.5.6 upgrade, email messages are garbled text

Hi,
This problem seems to have started with the latest upgrade. My email messages are coming in with garbled text. This happens in my Yahoo account where I will go to the mail website and the text there will be fine. It's only in the mail program.
Thanks in advance,
Pete.

Hi,
I have the same issue.
Although the mails seems to have been downloaded correctly parts of the parts of the message mime information is displayed as part of the mail body.
The only thing that helps is to rebuild the index of the specific mailbox (inbox in my case).
BTW: Mail of iPhone OS does NOT have this problem. Generally it handles mails MUCH better than the real OS X. Strange, isn't it.

This issue is delaying my abiliy to receive and respond to email messages in a timely manner.
Please Help.

Hi Chris. Thanks, for the suggestions re: my email issues. They were helpful and yes I did check all items you referenced. I even contacted Apple support and spent about 40 minutes on phone checking all settings. However, after all these efforts, my mail and calendar issues were not resolved. Apple Support finally recommended deleting the mail account and then reloading it - and it worked! I am now receiving my emails and calendar appts. in real time again.
Just wanted to share this in case anyone elest has a similar problem with mail/calendar after downloaing i.O.S. 8.1 onto iPhone 5.
Thanks, again.
Jesse
