BB and syncing IMAP show all messages as New

Hey,
I currently don't have a BB but there are about 5 BB (perls) in use in the office.  We don't use the BB messaging server, the BBs just connect to the IMAP server through port 143 and get their email.
We are in the middle of changing over our server to a new server and started importing the messages.  However, people are getting all the messages as new messages on their BBs even if the messages aren't new on their email accounts.
This is a huge huge problem as some uses have thousands of emails that the BB will indicate are new.
How can I fix this problem other then having the imported messages go to a seperate folder?
Thanks.
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
While I'm not an IMAP (or any other!!) expert, what you describe sounds like it's doing what would be expected. BB's don't retrieve email from your server -- rather, the BIS service, hosted at your carrier, does that and then pushes new stuff to the BB. Each email is tagged with a unique identifier, which I believe includes the server from which it came. Since you are importing the messages to your new server, BIS will interpret them as new messages for the end user and bring them to the BB via the new BIS conduit for the new email server.
What you might want to do is decide just what emails you want the users to have on their BB's. Then, you should wipe out the BIS conduits for the old email server. If you want the users to have all of the old emails, then what you are doing will accomplish that. But, if you don't want them to have the old emails, then you'd want to also remove the BIS conduit for the new server and only create it after you complete the import. BIS is configured to bring new messages to a BB starting at the time of activation for that email account -- so if it's not configured at the time you do the import, then BIS won't even try to bring those messages when you do later activate it for the new server.
Of course, before you start any of that, taking a full backup of the BB would be wise..one never knows...
Hope that helps!

    I make a new id and complete all fields and I but my cricket card information and submit but show me message to return to iTunes support

    Then you need to contact iTunes support.
    There is probably a problem with your credit card or AppleID.  If there is an account security problem, only iTunes support will be able to help you.

  • Forum question: How to set Show All Messages as default?

    I seem to remember there was a way to set this as a default, so that when one clicks on a topic, all new (unread) posts are shown. Currently, I only see a subset of the new postings, and I have to click on "Show All Messages" to see them all. The number shown initially seems to be arbitrary. I know that postings that I've read will not show up, but how can I get all unread postings to show by default?
    Thanks!

  • Distiller 'default settings' blank and doesn't show all job options

    We're experiencing a problem with Adobe Distiller 9.3.0 being blank next to "Default Settings" with the error, "Error in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/PDFX4 2008.joboptions: /CheckCompliance out of range".
    I can delete that joboptions file, which removes the error message, but the Default Settings pulldown menu still is blank and doesn't show all of the joboptions files that it should.  Only 2 of them are showing up in the pulldown.
    How can I fix this?
    I've tried deleting all joboptions files and letting Adobe self repair them and have tried deleting a few com.adobe.distiller* preference files and nothing yet seems to work.
    Thanks!

    I am connected to a network but we don't share applications. CS5 Design Premium is installed on my machine.
    See screenshot below:
    What is the relevance of this? We seem to have the same location for the output module file.
    Why does mine not work?
    See screenshot below:
    The Adobe Output Module is in my Startup Scripts but it still doesn't work.

  • Always immed. show all messages instead of clicking 'show list' - mess. mgr

    Hello all,
    How can I immediately show all messages of my message mgr, instead of only the first message? Now, I always have to click 'show list' to view them.
    I use the general MESSAGE_AREA UI element.
    thanks,
    maggie

    Hi Hans,
    If you got to the application, and under the properties tab you would find some radio buttons as :
    1: Show message component on demand.
    2: Always display the message component.
    3: Display the messages without the message component.
    The 3rd option is not availaile in newer systems. But yes if you are using ECC6.0 then it is the option that displays all the error messages and also in the message area, which would be the answer of your question.
    Hope this helps.

  • I can only see three weeks of emails on the imap email account on my iMac even though the same email address set up as a pop account on my iPhone, iPad and another iMac show all my emails.  How do I change the setting to see more emails?

    I have two iMacs, an iPhone, and an iPad.  All use the same email address but the new iMac would only let me set up the email account as an imap account. On this iMac I can only see three weeks worth of emails.  On the other iMac, iPhone, and iPad, this email address is set up as a pop account and I can see emails as far back as three years.  I use Yosemite on the new iMac and I cannot find out how to change the settings to let me see more than three weeks worth of emails.  This is an att&t email account which is basically a Yahoo account.

    Nope. It will reset all settings. For fix errors.
    Or you can try Logging out and Restart your iPad and Sign in again.

  • IPhone Mail App not showing all messages

    I have set my iphone mail settings to show 500 recent messages, but it only shows 10 messages - how do i get past this problem?

    What Kind of email account is it.
    If the account is Gmail or Yahoo, those are IMAP accounts which all messages can be retrieved from the server over and over again if you remove the account and re-add it.
    Now if you are using like a SBC-Global, ATT.net, Bellsouth, Anything that is a POP3 Account it will only download new message and not past ones.

  • Mac Mail IMAP shows read message when already read from other devices

    Mac Mail IMAP is setup on custom domain ([email protected]).  When I open an email message through my iphone it shows it was read.  Then when I go into the mail app on my iMac, it shows the message is unread.  It still shows unread hours later and even when I click the "Get Mail" button
    How do I make it so that Mac mail syncs when I check mail through other devices?
    Thank you

    Open Terminal in Utilties and copy/paste
    This will send the attachment embedded inline. (This works in Snow Leopard, but not sure about Lion. Do a test first. If it doesn't work, just google "send attachment embedded + Lion." You don't actually have to send the message to see how it will appear.)
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 0
    To reverse the setting, change the 0 to a 1
    However, whether this will work or not will depend on what the e-mail client on the receiver's end does with it.

  • IMAP showing old messages

    Hi there,
    I just got my Z10 and i've fallen in love from the first sight, but i've encountered a major deal breaker.
    I have my work email account which is an old account, for example my inbox has 11000+ emails.. When i add it to the BB as IMAP, it starts to download messages, but they are all with the current date and hour, and are actually really old messages. It's like the server has wrong time/date set and the BB starts to get confused. All i get to see in the Hub are old messages from years ago and they are all dated the current date/hour.
    However 1: 
    I have the same email added as IMAP on iOS and it works perfectly. Sometimes this issue occurs there as well, but after restarting the Mail client, it's all back to normal. I decided to wait and see if the Z10 will get better, but it doesn't.
    However 2:
    When i access my email from web, it has time and date all correct, i.e. received at HH:MM on DD.MM.YY
    However 3:
    Probably it's important to mention, that i have also a personal email added, again on a private hosting, which works well and display emails with the correct dates.
    I've tried deleting/adding, changing the Sync Time Frame to different settings. Turning SSL on/off (it's off on the iOS), but nothing changed. My work email is not on Gmail, Yahoo.. It's a hosting and it's been there since ten or more years now.. 
    So, i'm not sure what to do.. any suggestions?I don't really want to return this beauty back to the store because i can't work with it.
    Is there an alternative email client i can try to install and see if it's going to behave the same way? If yes, is it integrated with the Hub?
    Thanks in advance!

    I don't know why it's doing that, I use ann IMAP server and it does not perform in that manner.
    You can try one of several other email clients, such as K9 email, in App World.

  • System Update keeps failing "Package did not download" and does not show all updates

    I recently installed win8 64-bit on my X1 (1294-2PG) using a clean install formatting the hard drive. Now I want to use System Update to install right drivers. Two problems occur:
    System Updates fails to show all the updates available for my PC in the website. Only 2-3 updates are shown.
    System Updates repeatedly fails to download the chosen updates. It seems to download most of the file when the download suddenly halts and I get the message: "1 Package did not download" or 2 or 3 depending on the number of updates.
    I have tried for several days multiple times a day and even uninstalling/reinstalling System Update. The errors keeps occurring.

    sorry... i can't help with why TVSU isn't successful with this driver on your machine.
    as a workaround, you may wish do download it from the X1 driver matrix:

  • Why is music randomly downloading from iCloud when I switch back and forth from "Show All Music"?

    My entire music library is on iCloud, which is how I initially loaded my iPhone 5s with music. I originally loaded it with roughly 1,100 songs. In everyday use, I have the option "Show All Music" turned off.  Periodically, when I want to add songs to my phone or listen to other songs in the iCloud, I turn "Show All Music" on. 
    It seems that every time I switch the  "Show All Music" button on and off it adds about 30 songs to my iPhone which has spontaneously increased to about 1,600 songs. Is there any solution to this?

    LiveType does not support any kind of audio, Bob.
    Go through your movie in the FC Timeline and set markers at the relevant cue points by pressing M.
    Pressing M a second time whilst sitting on the marker, will open a dialog where you can type a suitable description in the name field. Keep the description short -it might help to take notes too.
    Export a copy of the movie (including markers) and bring it into LiveType with File > Place background Movie. The markers will show up at the top of the LT timeline, with their descriptions.
    Delete the background from LiveType when you have everything lined up. Save your LT project file and import it into FCE. You can use the project file exactly like a video clip.
    If you need to go back to LiveType for changes, right click the LT file in FCE's Timeline. Choose "Open in Editor". This will open the project in LT. Make changes, save the file and it will update in FCE.
