Gmail: Mails sent to myself are marked as READ when using IMAP -how to fix?

I just started using IMAP with my Gmail account and Apple Mail. But when I send an e-mail to myself (from my imap account to my imap account), the e-mail will of course go to my inbox but it will be marked as read.
I don't have the option to "mark as unread" in either Apple Mail rules or Gmail filters, they both only have "mark as read".
If I do it using Gmail webmail, then the e-mail is not marked as read, so I don't know if it's something Apple Mail is doing to my email? If I right-click it and "mark as unread", the message will be marked as unread both in my "inbox" and in my "sent mail". But I don't want to right click all my "to do mails" to make sure I see them.
(I'm aware this is not the best workflow, but I like it..)

Alas, I'm still having problems with Gmail. Now what happens is that I'm getting the "caution" triangle next to the account which indicates a problem. The error message when I click on that triangle is: "Unable to Connect There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account “Gmail” or try again. The server error encountered was: The connection to the server “imap.gmail.com” on port 587 timed out."
Also, something else is strange. When I look in the account settings window, my password is not there. It's blank. So I enter it. A few minutes later, when I check, my password is again no longer there.
Regarding your suggestions to move the mail folder, I really don't want to do that because I have about 20 mailboxes full of important saved messages. I can't afford to lose those. Surely there must be some other way?
Leopard is the worst OS upgrade in Apple's history, IMO. It's caused more problems for me than I could have imagined.

    I don't know if it will work, but try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

  • 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.

  • 2 mail accounts, emails marked a read when not

    Hi, I have latest mac os and using mac mail. I have 2 accounts and I have similar mail sent to both accounts. When I read an email in one account it registers as read in the other as well. I don't want this to happen. How do I set mail, I can't find any setting to turn on or off.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Emails marked as read when sent to Blackberry Torch 9850

    I'm having an issue with emails being marked as read in my work Outlook Inbox as soon as they are sent to my Torch 9850, even though I have not opened the email on my phone or on my PC. 
    We use Exchange Server 2010.
    Has anyone else had this problem and if so, is there a setting change or workaround to this issue?  I've turned off reconcilliation for now.
    Thanks!

  • Why do the e-mails in my BT Yahoo inbox marked as read when the e-mail is delivered to my iPad mini?

    Why do the e-mails in my BT Yahoo Mail inbox mark as "read" when the e-mail is delivered to my new iPad mini..?

    Hi rowinator,
    I assume, you've activated the thunderbirtd junk-filter? Or do you use your own filters?
    May be there's another filter, executed afterwards, that marks the mail as junk? You can have a look into the filterlog.html in your TB folder, there you can see if one of your own filters caught this mails.

  • 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,
