Can I make mail stay unread by default?

From my iPhone, I want to be able to "read" my mail, and have it continue to appear as "unread" without having to mark each email individually as "mark unread", though that's what I've been doing thus far.
The issue is that I want to be able to get onto a computer at some point later and see all the mail I may have already "read" on my phone APPEAR as unread. Is there a way to default it like this on the phone? I know there's a way to do this on the computer (I use gmail and also mac-mail).

There is no way to automatically mark all mail as unread, but you can do it more easily than marking each individually. When viewing the email list tap Edit at the top right, then tap each message once and when done tap the Mark button at the bottom right

How do I make Mail show unread msgs in bold?

Hi-
In the preferences for Mail 5.1 there exists an option to "show unread messages with bold font".
Checked or unchecked the unread messages look just like read ones.
Is there a fix for this? I tried to make a Rule but couldn't find "is unread" on the list.
Actually I would settle for almost any difference; background color, italic, font color.
How do I make Mail show unread msgs differently?
thanks in advance for your help.

Some more ideas on Smart Mailboxes.
Please note that a Smart Mailbox does not move any email. It is just a search that collects matching email and displays them all together. You can move emails from the Smart Mailbox, and it will move the email from wherever it happens to be, into the folder you drop it into (except another smart mailbox)
You can create smart mailboxes to group emails by date, also. I've got Last Week, This Week, and This Month set up. Notice how you can drop smart mailboxes on top of one another to group them. It doesn't affect the search that is conducted, just puts them together. You can also add that group of Smart Mailboxes to the toolbar.
I use smart mailboxes for certain mailing lists where I just want to read and delete the list email, not move it into a mailbox for long-term storage. So, I create a smart mailbox for those list emails and I can show all the ones I haven't read/deleted.

YEA! My jurryrig worked! To all with this problem:
You CAN have podcasts in a regular playlist IF you convert them to a standard MP3 first. So, yes, a lot of manual labor
The good news: if, like me, it is a track that you listen to frequently (in my case meditations for sleep and relaxation) then the time is worth it. I will mess with automator later to see if there is anyway to script this! Then, less work for me and more for my mac.
Here are the steps:
Select the file from your Podcast folder.
Change all data you need -- "artist," "album" etc...
Make a copy of the cover art for this file by dragging it to the desktop.
Select the Advanced -> Convert ID3 Tags menu item.
Check ID3 tag version, and select "v1.0" from the drop-down menu.
Drag the file to the desktop (this will make a copy of the MP3 on the desktop)
Delete the file from the iTunes list.
Drag the copy of the file you have on the Desktop back into iTunes.
Search for the file in the Library, and add the cover art again to the file.
Now the file is out of the Podcasts folder and works like a regular MP3 file inside iTunes. You can re-add it back to playlists!

Try setting the text direction with no files open. It should stick for all new files.

How can I make "mail" my default email app?

After I make a note in the notes icon that came with the ipad, it immediately is emailed to my email address and disappears from notes. How can I make it stay on notes?

After I write a note in the notes icon that came with the ipad, it immediately emails it to my email account and erases it from the note pad. How do I make it stay on the notepad? I don't particularly want it emailed to me.

I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
"if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
"if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".

Can I make form fields highlighted by default?

When the user opens the form, can the form fields be highlighted by default?
Thanks.

Normally you;d place the code in a document-level JavaScript, outside of a function definition. To do this, select: Advanced > Document Processing > Document JavaScripts > Add
- Yes, that's exactly what I did and pasted the code above into it, giving it a name.
Delete the function skeleton that it provides by default and enter the code.
- I didn't see any function skeleton, but a blank window.
But I want to make sure we're talking about the same thing. What I suggested will highlight the active fields (e.g., not hidden and/or not read-only) with a background color, which defaults to light blue. If you're asking about a field border color, what you may be seeing are the red borders of the fields that are marked as required, which is a different matter. Can you clarify which you're asking about?
- No, I don't see any red borders. Yes, I wanted to highlight the active fields with a background color. In the case of the code above, the color is "red" not blue so I expected to see a red background color. Won't the code above make the background color red? My forms open with a blue highlight by default (can't figure out why) so the only way I can check to see if it's working is to use a different color.

How can i make an external Hard drive default for iphoto

I have maxed out my memory on my MacBook with iPhoto 09. I have been trying to export photos to an external HD and then make the external HD my default drive for future photo downloads from my camera. Also, I need to clean off space on the internal HD, but not sure of the safest way to do this and make sure I don't loose any photos. Any tips to move forward? I am a Mac novice to say the least.
Thanks

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How can I make mail retry sending messages in the Outbox?

Howdy all,
As the title says how can a force Mail to try to resend the messages in the outbox? I use my MacBook Pro in a number of different environments and when I am on one flakey access point in particular or when I have forgotten to open Safari to reauthorize recently on another network Mail will fail to contact the SMTP server. When this happens my message gets stuck in the outbox to be sent later. My problem is that I do not know how to get it out of there effectively.
Once I have fixed the transitive error in the network (or or the problem fixes itself) how do I get the messages out of the inbox? At this point I can send more messages with no problem and they will happily go out but those in the queue just sit there.
Now, I have tried a number of things like quitting and restarting Mail, bringing the various network interfaces back up and down, and other things to try to trick Mail into sending the queued messages but that has been haphazard at best. I can't help thinking that there is something obvious I am missing.
Thanks for any help!

Highlight the message in the inbox, double-click on it, and click on the "send" icon
You may even consider BCCing yourself to see whether the message actually goes or not, and you just have an artifact copy stuck in your outbox that you could then just delete.
Otherwise, copy&paste the stuck message body into a new message, and delete the stuck one out of the outbox before attempting to send the new one

Can you make "Remember Playback Position" the default?

How can I make Mail stop trying to open?

Please, please, please somebody help find a way to stop Mac Mail from trying to open even few minutes and when I log into my account. I spend more time trying to quit Mail (which isn't easy, btw) than doing anything else on my Mac!!!! I already started Mail and set the default Mail reader to something else. But it still doesn't help! Mail keep starting and popping up windows at me constantly all day long! Is it safe to trash the application? Or will that cause problems with the OS?
Thanks.

Sounds like the Resume feature...
On your Finder Go menu > go to folder and copy and paste
~/Library/Saved Application State/
Then find com.apple.mail.savedState and delete that file. This file may show as an alias, if it does then right click to "show original" and delete.
(note that the User Library is hidden - one way to get there is to go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library")
Let us know if that helps.

How can I make mail stop putting an address into spam mail

Hi---There's one particular email address which keeps beig put into the spam folder of my inbox. Ive tried "adding address to book", resending the email, but still, every time I get an email from this particular address (who by the way is a friend!) it goes to spam. How can I tell mail not to consider this address spam? Thanks!

Have you also done the obvious by marking the received message(s) as Not Junk and then moving the message(s) from the account's Junk mailbox to the account's Inbox mailbox?
You should also consider using the Junk Mail reset feature and you can leave Junk Mail set to automatic when doing so.

Can I make Mail on my MacBook act like Mail on mi iPad/iPhone?

I've been trying to do this for some time. I'd like to make Mail on OSX behave like Mail on iOS. In other words, I don't want every email downloaded off of Gmail. I just want say the last 100 or so with the ability to search for additional emails that are in my Gmail account when I'm connected to the Internet. I don't want it to download my entire inbox and clutter my hard drive as I really don't need offline access to my email account.
Is there a setting I just haven't correctly tweaked or do I need to look at other programs. I've been using Sparrow but it also is a downloader.
Any assistance would be appreciated!

I suggest buying Sparrow Mail for 10 USD.

I just did and I like it already...
Doesnt do exactly what you're after but it seems much lighter/quicker and has a much simpler interface.
Good luck!
