E-mails marked as unread when viewed on B'berry

I receive my Outlook e-mails onto my Blackberry but when I've read them on my device it marks them as read in Outlook on my pc. How can I leave the Outlook e-mails showing as unread even when they have been read on my Blackberry?
Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
If you are on BES, then you will need to go see your BES admins to determine if what you desire is allowed in that system...they are in control.
For BIS-based email, you can defeat wireless reconciliation by, from within any messages list, going here:
BBKey > Options > Email Reconciliation > Make sure that the Message Services is set to the account you want to change > Change Wireless Reconcile to "Off"
Note that this will not only remove reconciliation of read/unread...it will remove all OTA reconciliation features. You will then have to use Outlook to truly control your actual mailbox...nothing you do on your BB will affect your actual mailbox.

TS3899 I have a yahoo email account setup on my iPad & iPhone. The new mail is never marked as unread when downloaded to my iPad or iPhone. Is there anyway to fix this?

Hey there Fabian,
If I understand correctly you are going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Add Account but that last option is not usable because it is gray. In testing this for you, I was able to reproduce this by enabling Restrictions and denying Account Changes. You can configure that with this article:

I have a question regarding emails being marked as unread when syncing with an exchange account.

I have a question regarding emails being marked as unread when syncing with an exchange account.
In the evening I can see I have 10 unread emails on my exchange account. I leave them unread. The following day, at work, I view and read all my mails from today and yesterday, so that I have NO unread messages. When I then sync my iphone it marks only the mails from today as read but, leaves all the mails from yesterday marked unread. Only solution so far is for me to go through the mails on my iphone one at a time for them to be marked as read.
My mail account is set to sync 1 month back.
I have had this problem on all the iphones I have had.
I currently have an iPhone 5 and my software is up to date.
What am I doing wrong?

Hey kabsl,
Thanks for the post.
What type of email account is attached to your BlackBerry Z10? (POP3, IMAP, Exchange). Also have you tried removing and re-adding the email account to test?
Is this email account only setup on one computer or several computer?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Opened emails marked as unread when I have read them?

I have an ipad mini. Why are all of my emails marked as unread when I have read them all. This has only happened in the last two days!

On my iPad with OS7 I had a red dot showing 1 unread email which would not go away. I cleared it using this procedure: Open Mail - Inbox - Edit - Mark All - Mark as unread. Then straight back to: Edit - Mark All - Mark as Read. Works for me; see how it goes. Best of luck!

Using Applescript to track Mail "Mark as Unread"

Hi,
I'm new to actionscript, I've never written anything using it. I'm a web developer, so I know JS, PHP and languages like that, but Applescript seems quite different to me.
Anyways, I would like to know if it is possible to have a script in the background with an event handler that will trigger additional actions when a message is marked as unread?
Pretty much, I want some code (that I will work out later) to be executed when a user marks a message as unread in Mail. ("Message"->"Mark"->"As Unread" OR ⇧⌘U)
Thanks

I'm new to actionscript
You mean AppleScript, right?
I would like to know if it is possible to have a script in the background with an event handler that will trigger additional actions when a message is marked as unread?
Not directly. The ideal way of doing this would be for Mail.app to have some kind of option to attach AppleScripts to events within the application. It's entirely possible to do within the OS, but few applications take advantage of it - that includes Mail.app, so there's no way to have Mail.app call your script directly.
The closest you could get would be a background script that silently polled Mail.app for the status of all messages and somehow detect when a message went from Read to Unread. This could be unwieldy, especially if there are many, many messages in the mailbox - you pretty much have to keep track of every read message and scan for any unread messages that are in the previous read messages list. This option doesn't work if you want to perform some real-time action such as interact with the user since there would always be some delay between the user action (marking the message unread) and the script noticing it.

Sent Mail Marked As Unread

In Lion Mail, sent mail is being marked as unread. Why is that? Can I change that behaviour or is this a bug maybe?

A couple further details...
Using a .me account
I sent 3 emails, one after the other, to my work address, 2 of the 3 show up as Unread in the Sent, though all 3 were received by my work address
Using the same .me outgoing server for all emails
There are no Rules in effect that would cause this
This seems to happen at random to only maybe 1 or 5 sent emails
They are going to both .me and other domains.

Why are emails in public folders being marked as read when viewed in the viewing pane when I have disabled this in settings

I am using office 2010 on a windows 7 PC. In outlook I have changed the settings for the reading pane so that emails are not marked as read unless I actually open them. This is working for emails in my inbox and outbox but not for emails in public
folders. Emails in public folders are marked as read as soon as I click on them. Do public folders have a different setting for marking email as read in the reading pane?
It is important for me that emails in the public folders are not marked as read when i click on them as I need to read through hundreds of project emails in these folders and need to be able to distinguish between emails I have read and actioned
and emails I have just clicked on while searching for an email I need. This folder serves as an archive for my emails so i cant delete them once I have read them. I also don't have permission to label them or create tasks from them.

Hi,
I tested in my lab, it worked for public folders. My Outlook version is Outlook 2013.
Please open Outlook in safe mode to check result.
If possible, please check if this issue persists from a different client server.
Best regards,

Outgoing mail marked as junk when I migrated to Snow Leopard

Had my mail set up on a G5, it was working fine. Now have a mac pro. I use the same mail settings, but my messages are being filtered out (by out provider - att) as junk by recipients in my own domain. No problem with incoming mail.

Thanks for your help, Allan. I downloaded Windows Media Player 9 on my G4 at home last night, and it solved that problem.
I knew about Flip4Mac, but I was hoping the vast collective wisdom of this group might have found something that works now on Intel iMacs. I’ve downloaded Parallels, but I haven't been able to download Windows Media Player in that yet. My issue du jour is that I can’t type anything in any browser window and their tech support isn’t responding to my emails.
When Parallels works though, it’s vastly superior to Virtual PC. I’m hoping the final version will have ironed out the Beta problems.
Thanks again.

Marking "Read" When Viewing in Preview Pane

Hi,
Just upgraded to Leopard... I'm trying to find a way to set Mail so that when you just scroll through the email message list and are viewing in the Preview Pane it doesn't automatically mark the message as "Read". I don't want it to show "Read" unless I actually OPEN the message... Is there a way to do this?!
Thanks!

I'm disappointed that Mail on the mac has not added options to control Marking as Read When Viewing in the Preview Pane. I'm using Mail 3.6 (latest as of July 2009) on 10.5.7, and this is still not supported. I have just finished switching to a new mac from a PowerBook G4 867 which I purchased in 2002, and I moved Entourage v.X (not even 2004 or 2008) app and mailboxes over to my new macbook pro. Then I used Mail 3.6 to Import Mailboxes from Entourage. I also imported contacts to Address Book and calendar items to iCal, etc. Finally I can leave Entourage behind --> Not necessarily.
Entourage v.X and Windows Outlook have had this feature for at least five years. Why has this feature been skipped in Mail all this time?
Previewing a message is not the same as Reading the message. Situation one: I like to use the up/down arrows to scroll quickly through messages, and consider which are the most important. Oops, now they're all marked Read! Situation two: Occasionally I click on the wrong message. Oops - it's marked Read now.
Simplest solution: Provide an on/off control: Mark Previewed Messages as Read - on or off
Richer solution: Provide timer control: Mark Previewed Messages as Read After 'n' seconds: - <n>
At least give us the Simpler boolean solution.
I found several threads on the same topic marked as Answered/Resolved. The workaround of getting rid of the preview pane is a poor workaround compared to what has been requested though it seems to be all we have so far. Admins should close the dangling threads only after posting a note indicating why.
TruePreview was proposed as a solution in one of the threads, but I have not tried that. If others have tried and are happy with it, please let me know.
Thanks...Alan

Lower quality when viewing in Preview

I have this issue on a BP with 10.5.4 and also a G4 with 10.4.11., and that is that images in Preview are not the same as viewed in any other app, which all look the same. I'm not talking about the look of colors or symptoms of having mismatched profiles, because the colors and shades are the same. But there's a subtle, though definite, slightly lower quality look when using Preview. I've been through the limited preference options and nothing makes it right.
It's almost as if there's a very slight noise, or unsharp mask artifact, or resolution mismatch (toggling the "respect DPI doesn't make it disappear) though it doesn't appear it other apps.
What's the deal? : )
Thanks.

E75 email: messages marked as unread

Hi,
Yesterday I had to reset my Nokia E75. Now it's up and running again. However, after I re-installed my hotmail e-mail I have a problem:
- 30 (old) e-mails are loaded and marked as unread
- when I receive an e-mail and I read the e-mail on my laptop, the message stays 'unread' on my E75
- the other way around, the same problem exists. If I check an e-mail on my phone, the e-mail stays unread. So if I check my e-mail on my laptop, it looks like my e-mail is still unread.
Anybody any clue how to change this?
Futher, I tried to change the synchronisation hours and synchronisation interval. But each time I change this, it won't stay. If I take another look 2 minutes later, the old settings are back.
Thanks for your help!

Not sure what you mean. But I deleted my entire mailbox and tried to re-install. For some reason it seems to work now.
Thanks for your reply anyway.

Trashed Mail Returns as Unread

Sometimes, when I trash mail from my Inbox, it appears in the Trash marked as Unread. What's going on? - Fabini

If the email is marked as Unread when it is deleted it will appear in the trash as Unread.

Mail showing one unread message when all messages are marked as read

Wondering if anyone else was having any weird issues with their iCloud and unread count in the Mail app on their mac running lion? I can't seem to get rid of a phantom unread message. My iCloud account is fairly new so I don't have that many messages to go through so I know there is not an unread message any where. Any help would be appreciated
Cheers,
Rabah

I have had the same issue with my Microsoft exchange email after upgrading to Lion. It's a bit annoying. My iPad, Android Phone, and viewing it using a browser all show 0 unread, but Mail shows 3 unread. I have tried deleting the account, rebuilding, and pawing through settings looking for something I missed. Nothing. I actually had the same problem with my MobileMe email with Snow Leopard but I eventually permanently removed the account as other problems arose and just used it in my browser.
Sorry I couldn't help but I hope it's resolved.

Unread Mail marked as "Read"

We have multiple mail accounts set up on multiple devices (using 10.9.2). Some of us receive the same email from a sender. When one of us reads the email, it is marking the email as "read" in all the accounts when only read in one. Fix? This just started with the most recent update. Any ideas on why this is happening and a fix for it?

Why when I read an email on my iPhone 5S, it shows as unread when I view it on my laptop?

Why is it that, when I read an email on my iPhone 5S, it shows as unread when I subsequently view it on my laptop?

What kind of email account do you have. The behavior you describe is the way a POP account will behave,. Reading the mail on one device marks it Read on that device only.
But if you have an IMAP account, reading the mail on one should should transfer down so it shows as Read on all devices.
