Determine the read/unread status of a message in a users inbox

Is there any way to see the current status of a read/unread message attribute. The email is confidential and the user is not supposed to see it. The sender wants assurance that the email was not read. He wont accept a screen shot as the email could always
be marked as unread. I have tried MSMAPI but the attribute doesn't seem to be listed, though I cant determine the Hex code meaning. Thanks for any leads.

"read"
is just a flag on the message (PR_MESSAGE_FLAGS), it can be changed and it cannot guarantee you if the message was actually read. Confidential mail should be encrypted or IRM-protected, so you can blame the sender as much as the recipient.

Just installed ios 7 on my 4s, and I have two issues: 1) control centre: the music controls do not work, only the volume adjust slider works; 2) in mail, where do you find the setting to control how many messages you want your inbox to retain?

Does "read / unread status" work consistently with the current version of iPad os and Exchange?

I'm having issues with "read / unread" email status syncing successfully between iOS devices and Outlook/Exchange.
Reading an email on the iPad only marks the email as "read" on Outlook about 50% of the time, and vice versa.
Syncing "red flags" on emails is inconsistent as well.
I'm unsure if this is just a quirk with iPad / iOS, or if this is an issue my hosted Exchange provider needs to look into.
Does read/unread sync work consistently for the rest of you? Thanks.\
The iPad is on 6.01. Unsure what version of Exchange the provider is running.
Thanks

We run Exchange 2010 with Activesync and we don't notice any issues with our exchange setup. Either on iPhones or iPads.

Read/Unread status resetted?

I've just noticed (after a low-acces period of a few weeks) that all the messages are set to unread. (I know this specifically for certain floated threads).
Is this by design?

What's even stranger is that according to my settings all messages over 10 days old should be set to 'read'...
I've been looking, but it seems I can only toggle the 'read' status per board. That I hit that accidentally on one board I can understand, however all the boards?

How to determine the background job status?

Hi Gurus,
My program is as follows:
1. I have used FM job_open to open a new job.
2. SUBMIT to call another program which creates the file on application server.
3. FM job_close to trigger that job.
Now I want to determine the status of that triggered job (Not through SM37), Once I get a status for complete or cancelled I will be coding based on that.
So could you please help me out for the issue?
Thanks in advance.

Our exchange 2007doesn't send dsn message for external users but for internals it is ok, I check my configuration but all seems to be ok
Have you any idea please?

To narrow down the cause, let's firstly try to check the following configuration:

Online / offline, read/ unread status, message order

Kind of exhausting dealing with the UTTER JUNK skype software on a daily basis. As I sit now with my Mac and iPhone Skype in front of me, talking to the same person: * One of these devices says the person is online, the other says they are offline. * Message order is different between the different devices. * My iPhone is missing the last several messages sent for an hour now, even though I reboot, reconnect etc. * Unlike things like FB messenger, you can't tell for sure when they read the message. * Messages got stuck in the system for hours today (leading me to great personal strife). Why oh why do we use this junk when FB messanger has so far lifted the bar of good design, reliability and user interface over Skype which seems stuck in the 1990s, Skype can't release anything that isn't full of bugs, they don't release even basic new features, and it hasn't even been as reliable as it used to be 5 years ago for a long time. Just junk, that's all.

Hi, Don't wanna use the GMail app (don't like it really).Besides, this used to work perfect before the update, so it's clearly a bug. On other issue I found:When deleting a message which is open (using the trash can symbol at the top), sometimes the mail reappears when the app goes back to the inbox.When deleting using a swipe action, this never seems to happen.

Determining the Outlook Offline Status on a server remotely

Hi All, I'm currently working on a project that can remotely monitor the offline status of Outlook that is running on a server.
Overview: I have a VM who's only function to to check and forward a specific email once a day. I need to know when the VM is down, Outlook is not running or Outlook is offline. I have been able to determine if the VM is down and if outlook is running
but I'm struggling with the offline status Outlook.
Here is my code (straight foward)...vbscript
strComputer = "VMEmail"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2", "outlook.Application")
PD_VM_OTKSTATUS = objWMIService.Session.Offline
Wscript.Echo PD_VM_OTKSTATUS
I'm getting a error "File name or class not found during Automation operation: 'GetObject'" Code: 800A01B0
I want to run this script from my machine. If you know whats going on or a better way to solve my problem let me know I'm open to suggestions. Also I don't consider myself a programmer/coder I'm just able to take other code and make it work the way I want.
Thanks in advance

I should also note that you cannot get a link to a remote application. You can run a script on the server that can attach locally.
You would find it better to write a macro in Outlook that monitors the online status (which will only show online if you are using Exchange direct and not SMTP.
The VBA code can be looped to look for the connection and alert when it fails.
It would make more sense to have Exchange forward the mail and dump the VM.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hotmail - Read/Unread status

Is there a way to keep messages marked as read on Hotmail (web) even if I open them on my Blackberry?
e.g. currently on my gmail account, if I read (or even delete - handheld only) a message on my blackberry... and I open my gmail account on my computer via a browser, I can still see the message marked unread. Would like to do the same on hotmail.

Hello,
All reconciliation features are governed by this LB:

How to control read/unread status of email

I would like to be able to simply view (in the preview pane) emails without them being marked as 'read'. Is there a way to do this in the Mac mail client (Snow Leopard)?
When I actually open the email, it would then be marked as 'read'.
Outlook for Windows allows the user to control how they want the email client to handle "preview" vs "open" differently when it comes to marking the email as 'read' and I'd like to be able to do the same thing in the Mac.

From the Mail Help menu:
*Viewing messages in separate windows*
Normally, Mail displays the contents of messages in the bottom portion of the viewer window, letting you easily scan and move between messages. As you select each message, it is marked as having been read.
You can also view each message in a separate window.
If you want to view some messages in the bottom portion of the viewer window and some separately, you can open multiple viewer windows.
• To remove the bottom portion of the viewer window, so you don't see the message contents in the window, double-click the bar that separates the list of messages from the message content. To view a message, double-click it, and it opens in its own window. The message is not marked as read until you open its window.
• To restore message contents to the viewer window, double-click the separator bar at the bottom of the window.
• To open multiple viewer windows, choose File > New Viewer Window.

Cant change the read only status of certain folders on my FAT32 external HD

Help someone please.
I have this external hard drive that has all of my music files on it. I was using it with my pc before but am making the difficult transition into mac land now. well over the last few months really. its not proving to be as easy as the marketing would have you believe. So anyway, i removed all the music temporarily from the drive (put it onto the pc's hard drive and a couple dvds), so that my macbook pro could reformat the external drive to FAT32 (which I hear works for both pc and mac). Then I put the music back on the external. and brought into my mac itunes library. then i noticed i couldn't add artwork to SOME of the files. it said "album artwork not modifiable". The external drive's info screen says permission is read and write. SOME of the folders are read and write, but SOME are locked to read only. When I look at the info of the folders and click on the locked box it won't unlock. I've attached the drive to a pc as well and tried to change permissions there but the pc saw all the files as read only. i can drag the folders off the external onto my mac desktop and unlock them there, but i can't even replace the locked files on the external with new the unlocked ones, because of course they are locked and can't be overwritten or thrown away. I've run repair disk permission on my mac's hard drive, I can't run it on the external (disk utility won't give me that option for the external). I've read a ton of discussions and threads and nothing seems to work or to match my unique problem.
Can someone please help me unlock my read only folders on my FAT32 external?

How can I change the read-only status of my external HDD?

I recently erased my Macbook's HD because it was insufferably slow. I reinstalled OS X 10.6.1 and all is well! Computer's fast and everything works like it should. Except that my external hard drive (2TB Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk) is now read-only to me. It used to be readable and writable when plugged into any computer. Then something changed, and it only worked with my laptop (not anyone else's). When I reformatted and reinstalled OS X, I chose the same user name as I had before the reinstall, because I was semi-worried that this might happen. My computer troubles were so frustrating, however, that I just took the leap. Now here I am with 620GB of data that I cannot delete, and another 1.38TB of empty space I cannot use.
Any ideas? Also, I apologize if this is in the wrong place. This is my first post on the Apple boards.

See if this fixes things:
Fix Permissions for a Locked Drive
Open Terminal in the Utilities folder. Paste the following at the prompt. Press RETURN after each. The first command will prompt for you to enter your admin password. It will not be echoed to the screen. After entering your password press RETURN again.
sudo chflags 0 /volumes/*
sudo chmod a+rx /volumes/*
killall finder
An alternative is to download BatChmod and use it to fix the permissions.

When firefox trys to auto update, or I manually download the new version, or some but not all downloads off of the web, I get this error message. C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

First off, when firefox trys to auto update, it fails. It tells me to try and download the new version from mozilla's site. When I try to download the new version I get this: (C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.)
This is the same message I have been getting when I try to download other things off the net. (When I use other browsers to download I dont have this problem)

Please help.
