Apple Mail not syncing Inbox Status (Read/ Unread)

This is Ramya from Zoho Mail Technical Support team.
When a Zoho Mail account is configured as IMAP in Apple Mail client in Mac Mail clients, the emails are synced fine in all folders except Inbox.
When the emails in Inbox are marked as Read/ Unread in other devices, the emails are not marked as Read/ Unread in the Mac Mail client. The new emails that arrive in Inbox are getting retrieved in the mail client, but only the status of the emails in Inbox remain unchanged.
After analyzing the logs in detail, we see that Apple Mail is not issuing the IMAP STATUS command for Inbox folder alone.
To check if there is any issue, we tried configuring Yahoo, Dovecot email accounts in Mac Mail client and the result was the same for Yahoo and Dovecot accounts also.
Interestingly, when we configure a Gmail account as IMAP, Apple Mail issues the IMAP STATUS command and syncs the status of the emails in the Inbox folder also.
We have a lot of users who use Zoho Mail via IMAP in Apple Mail Client who face this issue and have raised it to us in our community forums, emails. You can have a look at the https://forums.zoho.com/topic/zoho-and-apple-mail-via-imap to find the issues reported by the user regarding Apple Mail IMAP sync.

Very interesting but if you want Apple to see it please use this link:

  • Apple Mail Not Syncing

    I am having issues with my apple mail not syncing on my computer.  This just started happening, was working fine up to this point.  We use MDaemon, and nothing appears to be wrong on the server.  I can see all the mail on my iPhone and through World Client.  This is the error I'm getting.  I have backups of my computer, what components should I try to reinstall from "resources".
    System consistently reports(s) : SyncServer[985]: [0x7fada840bdb0] |DataManager|Warning| Client com.apple.Mail sync alert tool path /System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Resources/MailSync does not exist.

    I have reinstalled Mountain Lion, and this still did not help.  Mail still not syncing.  When I look in the "System/Library/Framewoks/Message.frame/Resources"  I do not see anything that is called MailSync.  I have looked through my Time Machine backups and see it way back in Jan. 2013.  I did copy it into the "Resoures" folder, still not working.  I have deleted my account and reset up, still not working.  My issue started late March 2013.  I don't know what else to try.

  • Apple Mail Not Showing Inbox Unread Count on Dock after installing Mavericks

    After installing Mavericks, my Apple Mail (connected to my work's Gmail account) stopped showing the Inbox's unread count on the dock. I switched it to "all mailboxes" to see if that would make a difference, and the dock shows 7 unread emails when there are actually none. When I switch it back to "Inbox" unread counts, it shows nothing. I've waited 15 minutes after receiving an email to see if it will show an unread message in the dock, but it does not. Does anyone have a fix for this?
    Thank you!

    Quit your mail entirely, then in terminal do:  
    mv ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope* ~/Desktop 
    This moves all your "Envelope Index*" files to your desktop.  An alternative is deleting the files, but this allows you to keep them as a temporary back-up (you can delete them at-will later).  Also, you can move the files from Finder instead of Terminal, if you prefer. 
    After the files have been moved, re-open Mail
    This should re-load all your email messages, updating/restoring the count
    While this works, it does not explain the reason the count goes missing, nor does it ensure that the count won't go missing again in the future, but at least it's a temporary workaround.

  • Apple mail not syncing with hotmail e-mail on iPhone

    I just bought a MacBook Pro a couple days ago and before when I was using my PC my hotmail account on my PC would sync with my hotmail e-mail on my iPhone 4.  Since I setup my hotmail account in Apple Mail it is not syncing with my iPhone.  When I delete it on my Mac or show it as read, it still shows as unread on my iPhone.  This did not use to happen.  Can someone help me, so I can get my Mac and iPhone to sync my e-mails?
    And I cannot see all my Hotmail folders in Apple Mail.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply.
    The problem is that I've got many years of emails saved on my hotmail account and I've got other different email addresses set up to forward their emails to this account. Due to the nature of my work, I also regularly have to search back through my emails.
    It looks like my only option currently is to use an icloud account and have all of my other email accounts all forwarding emails to that instead. Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the problem of being able to search back through my emails, though.
    Does anyone know how the iphone manages to successfully connect with hotmail accounts (as though using IMAP). As I said, my iphone works absolutely perfectly and is fully synced with the hotmail server. I know it's something to do with 'microsoft exchange' but I really don't understand what this is and how it works.
    Thanks, Matt

  • Apple mail not syncing Sent folder with gmail imap

    I'm running Apple Mail 5.0 with Gmail imap. The Inbox folder syncs perfectly. But when I click 'Sent' in Mail the folder is empty. How to keep the 'Sent' folder in sync with the Sent mail in my Gmail account?

  • Mail app does not sync "Sent" or "Read" messages with my iPhone mail app.

    I just started using a new Mac Mini (running 10.9.1). I have the Mail app connected to a handfull of different email addresses, and my iPhone mail app is connected to the same addresses. If I send a message on one device, the other device will not show it. If I read a message on one, the other will not show that I've read it.
    I assume the two Apple devices, both running up-to-date operating systems and using the native Mail app, should be communicating with each other in a way that allows me to work between the two seamlessly. Am I just incorrect in my assumption, is there something I can fix, or is this a bug we're waiting to have repaired?

    Actually, my Gmail is the one that does work appropriately. I have a few IMAP addresses I use that do not sync between devices.

  • Apple Mail not marking mail as read after being read on iPhone

    I'm currently using my Gmail account (IMAP) on both Apple Mail and on my iPhone. When I read mail on my iPhone, Apple Mail doesn't change it read mail, even after several hours, but it is changed on the server. How do I change it so that it syncs mail status?
    When I read mail on Apple Mail, it gets marked as read on my iPhone.

    Check the account settings with Outlook which should reveal how you created and are accessing the account with Outlook.
    If you used the Gmail account preset when creating the account with the iPhone's Mail app, the account was created as an IMAP account.

  • Blackberry notes sync with Apple mail notes

    When I sync my blackberry it says that the notes sync with the Apple mail notes, but I cannot find the Apple mail notes. How do I access them??
    Thank you.

    I had the same problem. It actually syncs the memos to Mail. Open Mail from your computer, and on the left side there should be drop menus called: Mail, Reminders, and RSS. On mine, Reminders was closed, so I dropped it, and there was another menu called "Notes", and viola! There were all the Blackberry Notes, ready to go! It's literally saved in "Apple Mail Notes".
    This thread is what made me look there: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12187767
    Hope I helped!

  • How can I set up a rule to delete all messages older than 6 months left in Apple Mail's main inbox?

    How can I set up a rule to delete all messages older than 6 months left in Apple Mail's main inbox?
    I have created other rules to move some of my daily messages into specific folders and I don't wish to auto-delete those.
    Just the general stuff that keeps piling up in my me.com main email box.  Mail such as FB announcements and other low priority stuff I want to look at before deleting but don't want to keep longer than a week or month.
    TIA
    thokitts

    Thanks, but I am looking for a more automated solution than hand marking emails as junk. I might as well move them to the trash myself.
    Again, these are emails I want to receive and quickly read, but not keep longer than a week or month or so. By setting a rule to toss any older than 30 days back then my Mail program (and thus my hard drive) won't be wasting so much space. For example, currently I have over 6000 read messages, with their attachments, in my main email box. I'd rather not have to physically attend to sorting the one I don't want out.
    The one I do keep for other reasons get moved into other folders.
    It seems this should be possible.

  • Access Apple Mail notes outside of Mail itself

    Does anyone know if there is a program that simply lets you view/edit your Apple Mail notes OUTSIDE of Apple Mail? I just can't wrap my head around opening my email client to write random notes. I can't seem to find anything.
    Thanks!
    Frank

    Ah Thank You, [ Jeffery Jones2 ] !
    I now remember stumbling across this and wondering why I was in Mail and not Finder when I entered Time Machine a while back. <hehe> Now I get it!
    Easy restoration of my Mail Notes! All is well again now that I verified iTunes sync is turned "off" and that the MobileMe sync is turned "on"—no more conflicts.

  • Address book app and Addresses pane in Mail not synced

    Address book app and Addresses pane in Mail not synced
    I add a contact to Address Book app eg [email protected], this address is not imediatley available to use in Apple Mail app.
    The address [email protected] eventually appears in the Address panel in Maill app, it can take from 3 minutes to hours to appear, surely both apps are reading the same database.
    This is particularly problematic when adding new contacts to groups and then emailing that group, Im never sure the group in Mail app is the same as the group in Address Book app.
    Nothing seems to speed up this process ie quitting and re-opening Mail app or Address book app.
    I have tried deletting "AddressBook-v22.abcddb" ~/Library/Aplication Suport/Address Book
    I have tried forcing ~/Library/Aplication Suport/Address Book to re-index.
    I have also restarted, repaired permissions, ran fsck -fy in single user mode.

    Because the sender has their name as part of the email address that is sent, and when they send you a message that matches the one in your Address Book, it's updated to show their name as Mail received it. But if you had previously sent them email before that update occurred, then your Previous Recipients database in Mail doesn't use that newly updated information in Address Book.

  • Apple mail not showing all the messages?

    In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
    As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
    I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

    Solved!
    This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
    I found a solution thanks to this topic:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
    defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
    does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
    defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
    Does work brilliantly though!

  • Entourage Notes Export to Apple Mail Notes

    I have searched but could not find a solution yet to export Entourage Notes to Apple Mail Notes. I have more then 2000 notes so I hope to find an easy solution to this. If it will not work with Apple Mail Notes maybe someone has an application which will just have the notes and ideally sync them with iPhone. Thanks

    hello
    I get 50% of your needs: export entourage notes (to another soft like MarkspaceNotesbook). I let you find how to use them (files.txt) in Mail. Let me know!
    There is a solution to export these notes by using a smartphone (or perhaps it works too with your ipod).
    - connect the device (mobile phone I mean) to the Mac,
    - sync the notes from Mac to the device (using PocketMac software or Missing sync software)
    - use now the explore feature of PocketMac or Missing Sync. (to "see" on the device).
    - explore the device and find your notes
    - drag the notes with you mouse, from the device to a notes software (for example MarkspaceNotesbook. I tryed also with Yojimbo but it has hard to do it).
    - Markspacenotesbook will take the note and keep safe their titles.
    - this process could have bugs. I discover once it refused big quantities. Drag and dropp 10 per 10 if it is the cases.
    Hope it works for you
