Filtered messages automatically marked as read - imap gmail

A problem has presented itself recently, and I cannot think of any change I have made to cause it.
I use Thunderbird with IMAP and Virgin which uses Gmail.
I have filters to redirect incoming mail.
The mail is being marked as read when it is filtered, even though I have not seen it.
Also junk mail is not downloaded until I open the spam box.

UPDATE: In addition to all mail being marked as "unread" in yahoo.com, most messages older than a few days old are also deleted. They still appear in Mail, but I need to read them in yahoo.com as well. In addition, Mail does not contain the folders from yahoo.com, so all messages appear in Mail as one big "unread" mess in my inbox. Again, these issues are not a problem with the iPhone app. Thank you!

Messages automatically marked as read in yahoo and unread in Mail

I typically use yahoo.com to view/read my yahoo mail, but I would like the option of viewing in Mail as well. However, when I launch my Mail account, all messages remain "unread" (whether I've read them or not in yahoo.com). And when I go to my yahoo.com account after opening Mail, all messages (whether I've read them or not in Mail) are automatically marked as "read". This is extremely frustrating as I would like both Mail and yahoo.com to reflect read and unread emails appropriately.
I do not have this problem when I use the Mail app on my iPhone.
Please help! Thank you!

Email with Mail Rules applied are automatically marked as read

I am using Mail in Mac OS X 10.5 with Gmail IMAP, and any email I receive that has a mail rule applied to it (such as, if person x emails me move email to this folder) is automatically marked as read (i.e., doesn't show up as a new message). Any email that comes into the Inbox, however, is marked as new.
The mail folder I am testing this with does not have the "mark email as read" rule applied to it, yet it keeps marking any email that goes through this rule as read. Also, no new mail sound plays after receiving these emails. In Tiger, even when an email was automatically marked as read by mail rules, it made the new mail sound.
I don't know if this is a Mac OS X Mail issue or a Gmail IMAP issue, but it's frustrating as all edit: I guess he-double-hockey sticks is a four letter word]. Is anyone having this issue and does anyone have a solution?

For me, it never counted it as new. It would just appear.
I deleted the Mail preference file and that seemed to fix some things, even though it did require me to re-setup Mail almost entirely. This morning, though, I got an email from my girlfriend that did not filter at all, even though the email address she sent from is in a rule. Might be an isolated incident, though.

Why are all emails automatically marked as read?

I recently switched my wifes email account from a POP to a IMAP. (same email address, same server, same provider)
Shortly before doing that we upgraded to Lion.
She also gets mail from this account on her iPhone.
Question: For some reason all of her new emails are automatically marked as read. No blue dots. This happens when a new message is recieved on either the Mac or on the iPhone. Everything else about the email account works properly. My email accounts on the same Mac work properly. (Same user account)
Any ideas what might be causing this? Is this problem being caused in the Mail problem or is it something on the server side?
Thanks.

UPDATE:
I have now deleted the account from the iphone. No change in the behavior. It's not the iphone that is causing this.
When an email is recieved it stays unread for about 20 minutes. And then it mysteriously changes all by itself to read. I have logged into the Webmail panel for this account and the behavior is mirrored there.
please help !!

Really Apple? Mails still automatically marked as read??

Dear Apple,
you have still not managed to include an option into your mail app to prevent mails from being automatically marked as "read"? I actually would have loved to switch to your app for a long time, but this point just leaves it unusable.
Does no one else think this is crucial?

You want to have them marked until you are done working on them?
Make a rule that puts a flag on every received message. When you are done with it remove the flag.

Yahoo mail, problem messages are marked as read

hi,
i am able to read the messages from yahoo mail using pop3, but even new messages are marked as read once retrieved through client code.
How to leave new messages as unread?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
-Satish.

As explained in the JavaMail FAQ, the POP3 protocol,
and thus the POP3 driver for JavaMail, does not
support any flags for messages.
I don't know what you mean when you say that new
messages are marked as read when retrieved by
client code. POP3 doesn't know what's new or what's
read. The Yahoo web interface might be assuming
that messages retrieved by a POP3 client have been
read, however. I don't know of any way to control
that.

All email messages are marked as read with imap account automatically.

I have a imap account pointing to an exchange 2007 server. The messages are being marked as read automatically. I removed any settings on a computer accessing the same account with outlook, that might be causing this.

Let me clarify what I said across all the responses in this topic. If you are operating a PC with say Outlook Express or Windows Mail, and a Mac with Mail, and furthermore if both are able to download a message from a POP server, and on both computers it is marked as Unread, then reading the message on one of the computers will not cause it to then be marked as Read on the other, operating in POP.
But if the server makes the assumption that the first computer to download a message from it means that it is also then Read, then of course taking away one of the computers will alter things. This is what I said in:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10506769#10506769
If you can disprove this, then lay out your facts in detail, but don't mix looking at the server with Firefox on one computer, and Mail on still another. Firefox is not an email client, but a browser. Using Thunderbird on the PC, and Mail on the Mac would be an equivalent test.

Gmail (imap) messages not marked as read

Hi - I've had this problem for a while. My gmail messages show up in my Apple Mail inbox, and when I read them they are marked read in that inbox.
However there is also a folder for Gmail on the Apple mail sidebar, and in the All Mail folder under gmail the message remains marked as unread.
It bugs me to have have that big red number of 'unread' messages in my sidebar – any way to get rid of it?
Txs.

@gizmo78,
Select your inbox, then select Mailbox>Rebuild
---if that doesn't work---
Quit Apple Mail
move this folder to the desktop:
[yourharddrive]/Users/[yourhomefolder]/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reopen Apple Mail
You should get a "importing mail" message, which is normal. It's just recreating the mail index.

Bug? Imap messages are marked as read before I read them

I have set up an email account pointing back to my host mail server. Using imap (I assume I am because it wants to use port 143), messages are downloaded, but they immediately appear as read - rather than unread.
Is this a bug? If not, how do I fix this?

Who is hosting the email server?
Is this through your work?
Are you hosting your own email server?
Have you ever downloaded from this email server on another mobile device?
If this is an IMAP email, and if the email is being checked at another location by anyone then it would be marked as read. This could also be a setting issue on the email server itself.

Stop Automatic Mark As Read

How can it be done that mail only changes an email's status to read if changed manually. I do not want mail to change an email to read just because it was viewed or clicked upon.
Thanks

I do not want mail to change an email to read just because it was viewed or clicked upon.
There is no way to accomplish what you ask. But if you want to avoid having an email automatically changed to Read status when you slick on it, you need to change your viewing habits. Double-Click on the small round button on the divider bar in Mail to make it just a list of your emails. Then you can scroll through them and they will only be marked as Read when you double-click on them to read them in a separate window.

Mail shows 3 unread emails but i've read them on my android phone phone and they are marked as read on GMAIL.

Hello, I know that Mail in Mavericks has a lot of problems, but i still haven't read about this one. I returned home and saw 3 unread emails, when opened, i've noticed that i've already read them earlier today using Gmail on my android phone. So i opened Gmail webmail and they were marked there as read as well. Even after checking for new mail manually, they were unread in my Mail.app. I had to open these emails to mark them as read.
Have anyone of you experienced the same behavior?

Found my solution:
Try this... "you could create a smart mailbox to filter unread emails, go to mail menu, mailbox>create smart mailbox, and choose the unread email rule. then look in the smart mailbox to see which emails show up."

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.

Mail.app + Gmail IMAP, stop auto mark as read

I just switched over to IMAP on my Gmail account and I got everything working fine, except one thing:
I've applied rules in Mail.app so they sort into their corresponding folders on the server (or Labels, in Gmail terms). For some reason because of this, certain messages are automatically marked as read.
This doesn't happen to messages that aren't sorted (ie, they stay in the Inbox > Gmail). The strange thing is, this only happens to certain messages that are sorted.
Anybody have any idea?

Resolved.

Messages delivered to iPhone 4s are marked as read in outlook

I just got my iPhone working with Outlook. When messages are delivered to my iPhone they are automatically marked as read in Outlook. This happens even before I open a message on my iPhone. Is there a setting that will allow me to keep messages marked as unread until I read them in Outlook?

If it is an Exchange account or an IMAP account, read/unread marks synchronize with the server and all clients set up to access it via IMAP or Exchange protocols. If one or more of the clients is using POP3, then unread marks do not synchronize. Same goes for the ability to see and file to folders.
How are you set up to access your work e-mail in Outlook?

Email messages not being consistently marked as read (EAS)

I have Pre 1.3.5.1 and I noticed that on all versions of WebOS up to now that my email messages are not consistently marked as read after I read them on my Outlook account. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. It does *seem* that if I read newer messages that these tend to get synchronized to the Pre, but if I have a lot of messages and it takes me an hour or so to get to the bottom of the list, that some of these messages remain marked as unread on the Pre. I have my Pre set to synch every ten minutes.

Are you giving it more than the 10 minutes to see if the messages get marked as read on the Pre? Try setting it to update "As items Arrive" just to see if it marks them faster.
