Displaying only Unread mail

How can one display only unread email? Doesn't seem to be intuitive way to do this.
Thanks.

Chip,
In mail just create a new "smart mailbox". The critera would be messages that meet the conditions "Message is Unread". Then you can just click or the smart mailbox and see unread email.

View only unread mail

i have 4 email account. Some r unread and when i got time to check/read them, i have to scroll a looong way down to find unread mail. Why not have a function to view only unread mails or/flagged mails, maybe unresponded mails. Nice function for next version?

If you're running iOS 8, from the All Inboxes view, tap <Mailboxes in the upper left corner. There is now a smart mailbox to show Unread messages. If you don't see it, tap Edit in the upper right corner and toggle it on.

Show only unread mail

I am connected to my html email account. I is on an Exchange server. In outlook there is a folder called Unread Mail. I have a lot of rules that filter my mail into folders so I use Unread Mail a lot in outlook. I would prefer if my BlackBerry also looked at this folder to show my emails, this way I would get all of those that were filtered and not just the ones in the inbox. Is there a way for me to do this? I am running version 6.0 bundle 2426 of the BlackBerry software on my phone.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Anyone have any thoughts on a way to do what I am looking for?

Is there a way to get ONLY UNREAD mail on my iphone and ipad and ALL mail into Outlook on my computer?

When I'm out and about, I pick up my mail on my iPad and/or on my iPhone. I HATE having to sift through the duplicates. I know I can delete the emails from the server as they are being downloaded, and that would solve the problem between the iDevices. But I still want a copy of them downloaded into Outlook on my desktop for future reference, so deleting them from the server before Outlook gets ahold of them does not seem like a good idea.
I currently have a POP3 account, but I could move onto an Exchange Server or into iCloud or something else if that would solve the problem.
Suggestions gratefully accepted.
Thanks.

You need an Exchange or IMAP account to do what you want. This will keep mail in sync on all of your devices.

How can I filter so I can only see unread mail?

I hate it when an unread piece of mail is way behind lots of pages. I want to keep unread mail to a minimum. but sometimes a new unread mail appears listed and I can't find it. Is there some way to display only unread mail?

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Get count of unread mails

Hi there!
Is there a way to get the count of unread mails (of Leopard Mail) via terminal? (Without using osascript/Applescript.) By reading out some XML file or sort of?
TIA

Thanks jpimbert! Well, sadly this doesn't work. And I think it's not sql related. It' Mail related as Mail doesn't count the unread mails correctly. Example: no unread mails in the "general" inbox, but one in an online folder, that appears in the inbox as read at the same time. I use gmail and my own imap server. Both show them up in the same way. So it has nothing to do with gmail either.
Those ghostly unread mails don't appear anywhere in Mail unless you create a smart folder showing "only unread mails". The former sql command shows them, too.
So, can the sql statement by modified in a way that it only reflects local unread mails? (Therefore unaware that they might be IMAP.)

Unread Mail Badge showing as a "Letter"

For some odd reason, Mail on my home Mac (Dual 867 G4 - MDD) has started displaying my unread mail indicator with a single letter, like the letter "D" for 1 unread or the letter "F" for 4 unread. This is occuring in both my Dock mail icon "badge" and in my mailbox sidebar.
Very odd. I am running Font Agent Pro 3.0.1 but I am not managing System Fonts with it.
Anyone heard of this before?

FYI, I just updated my Font Agent Pro to the latest 3.2.
Repaired permissions.
Still broken.

Total unread mail count display

I believe the iPhone/ios 6.1.4 displays only the total number of unread emails in the top level of the inbox. But I have rules that move unread mail to multiple subfolders, and I'd love to be able to have a total count of unread items in the inbox and all subfolders. I use a smart mailbox to do this on the iMac, but the absence of smart mailboxes means that I'm often unaware of unread items in subfolders when I only have access to my iPhone and iPad. I'd appreciate any thoughts.

Fact is, the iOS mail app is not as sophisticated as the mail app on your Mac, & local rules are not synced to your phone. There is no fix.
All you can do is suggest an enhancement to Apple:

Mail: photos won't display, only "missing plug-in" message

My wife's old G4 PowerMac running OS X10.5.8 recently stopped displaying photos in Mail. Instead, all that displays is message "Missing Plug-in" and the photo number or caption. This happens with all incoming e-mails, as well as outgoing e-mails generated from iPhoto, or just standard e-mails composed in Mail with an attached photo. The photo is there when she clicks on "Quick Look" but not in the field of the message. HTML images in ads display fine...only individual photo attachments are missing. Please help. Thanks.

Hi Neville.
I have the same problem with the "missing plug-in" message...but everytime I close out and try a second time the photos appear.
Is the path "applications" "utilities" "java"...if so I don't see "Java" in utilities, even though I was prompted to do a recent "java update" and did so?
Wondering where my "Java Preferences" file would be since I don't any file for "Java" in "utilities".
Any help/advice would be much appreciated!

I have accidentally deleted my inbox and now can only see unread mail on my iPhone. How can I restore this?

I have accidentally deleted (or hidden) my inbox. Now I can only see unread mail on my iphone. I have switched it off and on again but this has not fixed the problem. All help appreciated. Thank you.

Hi ElizabethAnnT,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
With the Mail app open on your iPhone, notice which email account is showing in the top left corner of your screen. Tap on that mailbox and you should be taken back to the main MAILBOXES window. See the picture below:
If you tap the Edit button in the top right corner of your screen you will see a list including "All Inboxes" and "Unread." Make sure there is a blue circle with a checkmark to the left of all of these.
For more information on using Mail, click on the link below:

...tap Edit while viewing the Mailboxes list.

Can the iPhone only pull inbox mail and not all unread mail?

Yahoo correctly filters my mail into inbox and spam. The iPhone pulls ALL unread mail rather than just that from the inbox. Anyway to fix this?

What is unread except for what is in your Inbox mailbox?
Are you accessing a free Yahoo account with the iPhone's Mail client, and did you use the Yahoo account preset when creating your Yahoo account?
If so, the Yahoo account preset on an iPhone creates the account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail client. With an IMAP account, the email client used to access the account keeps all server stored mailboxes for the account synchronized with the server. All messages received by the account, and available in the account's Inbox mailbox on the server, will be available in the account's Inbox mailbox with the iPhone's Mail client - which keeps the mailbox synchronized with the server. If spam is received at the server and is available in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server, the same messages will be available in the account's Inbox mailbox with the iPhone's Mail client. This is how an IMAP account works.
With a POP account, any messages that remain in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server will be downloaded when accessing the account with a new email client, and will be shown as unread when downloaded by a new email client used to access the account. This is also normal for a POP account when accessing the account with a new email client.
The iPhone's Mail client does not included a spam filter. Even if it did, new messages received at the server and available in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server will be downloaded - spam and all - which is the same for any email client.

Mail Badge Does Not Update # of Unread Mail Messages

My iPhone is stubbornly refusing to update my number of MobileMe unread mail messages. For some reason, it is displaying 6 more unread messages than there actually are. No if I have no unread messages, the badge reads 6. If I have 5 unread messages, the badge reads 11.
I access MobileMe via my iMac, iPad, and iPhone (iOS 4.1). My iMac and iPad aren't having this issue. Any suggestions about how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Did you mean the connected Microsoft account used to Mail APP and all Windows 8.1 computer?
If yes, it's indeed as what you describe. Since Windows 8.1 Mail app has been designed such a way that, it will keep you in logged in mode all the time so that you will be able to check your emails without logging in to the webmail. In other words, it's
always keep session. Therefore, it wouldn't ask credential to confirm.
However, this is not only depending on Mail App but also related with mail type security. Based on my test, Adding an Exchange email account, it will prompt to check password setting at once if you change password. Adding an Hotmail account, nothing happened
after change the password.

Unread mail highlight

So far I'm loving all the new features in Lion, though some are hard to get used to, like the scrolling gesture, which reacts opposite to the mouse. Although I love the new Mail, my eyes are having a hard time with the read and unread mail. It seems that the read and unread mail look exactly the same, the only difference between them is the blue dot on the left side of the unread. I've checked the preferences and even though "Display unread messages with bold font" is checked, I still see no difference between them. All of the senders display in bold font and the followed text in plain. Is there a bug that is preventing me from seeing the unread mail in bold font? Also, is there any way to make the unread mail display highlighted? I think this would make it really easy on everybody's eyes. Any help is much appreaciated.

I think the blue dot is all you get this time around. Cheers!

How to access unread mails of all users in Exchange server without having Passwords and without giving mailbox access to other user.

Hi all,
I am using Exchange server 2013, my task is to create
Service , that
need's to monitor continuously for new mails of all Mailboxes in
my server. if any user got new mail i need to get that Mail Subject, Mail Body, Sender Email Address [From emailId] .
Limitation
: I don't have Passwords of mailboxes , so i gave all mailbox access permission to one user , then i completed this service using below code.
But now, Client
not willing to give Mailbox Permissions to one user because of security problems.
How can i do this without passwords and without giving permissions to other user ?
i don't want all mailbox access , i just need only
access Mail Subject , Body and Sender mail address .
How can i achieve
this ?
Process i follow
=> I created new user in server , and then i gave full permissions of all Mailboxes to newly created user[ex: james] in database level.
i use below command for giving permissions in database level.
Get-MailboxDatabase -Identity <Database Name> | Add-ADPermission -User <User> -AccessRights GenericAll
=> using below code i am searching unread mails of all user Mailboxes and then getting Subject, body and Sender Email address . here i am have list of users,
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2013);
service.Credentials = new WebCredentials("[email protected]", "password");
service.AutodiscoverUrl("[email protected]"); foreach (Object obj in usersList) // here i have Mailbox users list in usersList
{ var userMailbox = new Mailbox(obj.user);
var folderId = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, userMailbox);
SearchFilter.IsEqualTo filter1 = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(EmailMessageSchema.IsRead, false);
var itemView = new ItemView(50);
var userItems = service.FindItems(folderId, filter1, itemView);
foreach (var item in userItems)
item.Load();
var senderEmail = ((EmailMessage)item).From;
var subject = item.Subject;
var body = item.Body;

You would need to check that possibilities via WebServices but suggest you to post this in Development forum to get help from programmers....

Wife and I have separate iOS devices, separate iCloud accounts. But we both want to access mail from the iMac (OSX Mavericks.) Currently only my mail is linked. How to configure so that wife's iCloud mail can be seen on iMac. Simple and explicit please!

My wife and I have separate ioS devices (iOS7) with separate iCloud accounts.
So we access our mail separately on these devices. But we would both like to be able to access mail at the desk top (iMac, OSX Mavericks). Currently only my mail is linked. How do I set up the Mac to allow it to access my wife's e-mail too, either in the same mail inbox or a separate one. Simple instructions please!

If Mail in Mavericks is the same as earlier versions you can select accounts in the sidebar, so that you can either display the inboxes for individual accounts, or the contents of all the account inboxes. (If the accounts don't show click the disclosure triangle next to 'INBOX'). The layout may have changed since the version I have - Snow Leopard - but you should be able to do the same thing.
