E-mails read on computers don't show as read on iPhone, despite using IMAP

My Mail accounts are configured using IMAP. When I read an e-mail on my iMac or PowerBook, it appears as read on my iPhone. And vice versa.
Yesterday I changed my e-mail passwords with my website host. I updated my passwords in Mail and my iPhone too. While I'm able to receive and send messages from both computers and my iPhone, now when I read an e-mail on one device, it does not appear as read on the others.
Any idea how to fix this problem?
Thanks!

I just noticed that moving an e-mail from one folder to another on one device will be reflected on another one (although the message still won't be marked as read).

HT1386 I BOUGHT RINGTONES ON MY IPAD BUT THEY DON'T SHOW UP ON MY IPHONE. DO I HAVE TO PURCHASE THEM ON BOTH DEVICES?

I recently bought ringtones from my ipad thinking that they would also be on my iphone. They are not showing up, do i have to purchase them on both devices?

Settings > Sounds > Ringtone > they should appear in the list.
If they don't show, try syncing your iPhone with your PC and then see if they appear.

Computers don't show up in ARD scanner

I use the 'scanner' in ARD 3.2.1 to search for computers to add, but sometimes the computers that I know are out there don't show up. However, if I enter the IP address explicitly, it's there. Any thoughts on how to get my scanner to see all the computers that are out there on a given subnet?
Thanks,
Chris

If the firewall is running on the client machines, try temporarily turning it off. Under 10.4 the advanced 'block UDP traffic' option can affect this.

ICloud Mail read on iPhone 6 not in mac iCloud inbox

I have had a problem with email messages on my iCloud account not showing in my Mac (OS 10.10 Yosemite) iCloud inbox if I've read that message on my iPhone, even though it remains in my iCloud inbox on my phone. Even marking the message as unread on my phone did not cause it to show up in my inbox on my Mac.
I haven't found any comments on this but am aware that sometimes it requires a mac reboot to properly sync some iCloud content. It is rare that I reboot my mac, but in this case, it did resolve the issue and the messages that were not showing now are (both iPhone and mac inboxes match).
So I chalk this up to an OS-X issue, but it is only a 10-15 second reboot so not a huge deal other than that I need to be aware that I need to reboot it when the iCloud inboxes are not syncing.

Reading a recieved message with a POP account with one email client by itself does not prevent the message from being downloaded and read with another email client. The iPhone's Mail client does not include an option for removing messages from the server when downloaded with a POP account as is available with an email client on your computer such as the Mail.app.
A problem with a POP account is only one email client at a time can access the incoming mail server for new messages and download any new messages. If a 2nd email client attempts to do this while another email client is doing the same, the 2nd email client will be temporarily locked out by the incoming mail server.

Unable to read attachment from javamail using IMAP

I am unable to read and save attachement in java mail using IMAP, but able to do using POP3
Sample code below:
Multipart multipart = (Multipart) message.getContent();
                         for (int i = 0, n = multipart.getCount(); i < n; i++)
                              Part part = multipart.getBodyPart(i);
                              String disposition = part.getDisposition();
          // here i am getting dispostion null if use IMAP, if i use POP3 then i can able to recevive attachment
                              if ((disposition != null) && ((disposition.equals(Part.ATTACHMENT) || (disposition.equals(Part.INLINE)))))
                                   System.out.println("file name is " + part.getFileName());
                                   message.setFlag(Flags.Flag.ANSWERED, true);
                                   saveFile(part.getFileName(), part.getInputStream());
public static void saveFile(String fn, InputStream in) {
          try {
               FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("c://test//" + fn));
               byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
               int i = 0;
               while ((i = in.read(buf)) != -1) {
                    fos.write(buf, 0, i);
               in.close();
               fos.close();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

If you're getting disposition == null it's because your IMAP server
isn't returning this information to you. Possibly your IMAP server
is buggy. You can look at the protocol trace to see what the IMAP
server is returning, and if it's missing information that should be there,
report a bug to your IMAP server vendor.
Your program might need to work around this problem by deciding
that any body part with a filename is an attachment, or any part
after the first is an attachment.

Mail 10.10.1 Don't show sent mail messages

When I send mail after upgrading to 10.10.1 Mail doesn't show them in the sent messages box.

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

IMac not syncing Mail read on iPhone

I have just started using an iPhone 5s on iOS 8.1.2. Mail is working perfectly and showing all my imap accounts. However, anything that I've looked at on the phone (even if I've not read it) does not show on my iMac (Yosemite 10.10.1) Mail (8.1). The iPad Mail, which I've been using for years, is continuing to sync fine and doesn't appear to block messages reaching the iMac. Can't find any similar threads online so I'm hoping you can help please...

I've fixed it! I put the IMAP Path Prefix in the Advanced tab of the Accounts page and it now seems to be working. No idea why this has suddenly become a problem. Other mail accounts I have set up don't have this entered and didn't seem to have a problem. I've unticked the automatically detect and maintain account settings too so that it doesn't get deleted.

How can i mark 100 mails as "read"? or better use imap? (.mac acc.)

hi
i use a .mac pop-mail account on my imac
and with my iphone. nothing else.
i realized that i get the mails on my mac and my iphone
, meaning twice, same time. how can i prevent that?
i am at home and my iphone is online, so i have to read
every mail i get in my iphone double time, to get it marked as "read" yes?
would it be better to set up an imap account in my iphone, if yes, how could that work?
thanks

You can access a .Mac account as a POP or IMAP account with the email client on your computer, and with the iPhone's email client.
A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client on one computer or device.
An IMAP account is designed to be accessed with an email client on multiple computers or devices keeping all server stored mailboxes synchronized automatically between all email clients used to access the account.
Read a received message with the iPhone, and the message will be marked as read automatically when checking the account with the email client on your computer, and vice-versa. The same for deleting messages, and the same for sent messages. Send a message with the iPhone, and the message will be available in the account's Sent mailbox automatically when checking the account with the email client on your computer, and vice-versa.

Mail read on iPhone doesn't appear in Mail on the Mac

This is probably a newbie issue, but I can't find any way to resolve it in FAQs etc.
When my wife opens and reads an email message on her iPhone, that message then does not appear in her inbox on our Mac.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this?
Is it a matter of setting up the mail account separately on the iPhone.
Many thanks for any advice.
Scott

Some of my songs don't show up on my iPhone, even though they are in Match.

I can access the full library if I sign in to iTunes from a desktop computer. Most of my songs are accessible to be downloaded, but several songs I recently added are missing. In one case, only one of the songs on an album is visible to be downloaded. What do I need to do to access my full library of songs?

Some contact e-mails don't show up in groups

Yosemite 10.10.2 OS. Contacts v 9. Macbook Air. I just finished dragging some contacts into a group to use for sending group e-mails. When I go to edit distribution list so I can select which e-mail address from each contact I want to set as default, there are a few contacts who are missing some or all of their addresses. I have checked the contacts email addresses and they are all properly formated [email protected], but for some reason they are not on the list. For contacts with no e-mails showing in the distribution list, they not only do not allow me to select a default e-mail, but those contacts don't show up in the e-mail at all

Never mind. Just found the place to change this under settings. What's weird is the setting got changed on its own somehow but weirder things have certainly happened...

Why can't Mail read my library files?

I had a computer crash and lost emails that I was able to recover from online storage. These emails have file names with numbers like 39452.emix
When I drag the lost emails into my mail library, they never show up as email files in Apple mail (for example if I search for them through the mail program). The only way I can read them is to double click on the emix file outside of the mail program.
Any clue on how I can import them back into the software?
-I tried archiving them and opening the archive inside of apple mail -- but the still don't show up.
-I 've also tried to put them in different mail folders and mailboxes such as trash and incoming, etc.
-I've tried restarting the computer and the Mail Program during these trials.
For example I can see message 139550.emlx and 139547.emlx, but when I drag in the lost email of 39648.emlx, it does not show up anywhere on a MAIL search (by name, content, date or number).
I have about 1,000 message I need to re import into my MAIL program. They are in the library files, they just are viewable through the MAIL software program.
Thanks!
Kate

Just sticking them in the Library doesn't tell Mail they are there. You have to import them and let Mail put them where they belong: File > Import Mailboxes…. Select "Apple Mail"

Disappointed: Empower E-mail Reader PRO Tech Support

I just wanted to say how disappointed I am with Empower's Technical Support for their E-mail Reader "PRO" (and I use the term loosely) software. I downloaded the trial version, really liked it and immediately purchased the full version for $29.99. I received no key, no SN, no PW. But they took my $$$. Now I can't upgrade from the trial to the full version and Tech support has been totally worthless on the issue. It's obvious I don't have their attention. I purchased their software after reading many posts which rated the software highly as well as the tech support. Unfortunately, that didn't happen for me. As soon as the trial version expires (and who knows when that will be) I'm going to delete it and purchase BBSmart like I should have done in the first place! Really, really disappointed but that's just my opinion.

Update: Everyone is always quick to say when they're not happy. We also need to be just as quick to congratulate when we ARE happy. Empower's Tech Team did come through. They found a way for me to manually register the software and inside of 30 seconds it was done. So Kudos to the Team and thank you.
