How do I keep Mail from highlighting most recent messages?

Since installing Mavericks, Mail has been highlighting my most recent messages in email threads (the unread ones). This is extremely annoying, and I messed with the Preferences>View>Highlight setting, but this setting is completely unrelated to what I am experiencing. Even if it could have something to do with it it wouldnt, because my mail is being highlighted in gray, as opposed to blue which is the default highlight color in this Mail Preference.

Here's the answer from Marketcircle:
This is an expected behavior in Mavericks.
Mavericks made a change in the Mail app which Daylite Mail Assistant was not able to bring over certain items when adding them in Mail. Our temporary solution is to have the Daylite Mail Assistant highlight the content which allows for the proper import into Daylite. Our engineers are investigating ways to try and have the highlight disappear so that you don't see this.
We apologize for the inconvenience!

Looks like one problem was fixed and this one created for me. I'm not sure if you had this problem, but before Mavericks, when I would tab down in Mail from the addresses (cc, subject) then onto the main body, it would always give me a tabbed start point on the page. Very annoying, but now it doesn't do that. (another DMA problem)

How can i prevent mail from downloading the same messages over and over again?

is there any way to prevent Mail from downloading the same messages over and over again? Mail has a minimum of "50 recent messages" to download, but i hate having to delete them every time i check for new mail! why doesn't the program remember if you have already downloaded a message, and suppress any subsequent downloads???

Same issue since Mavericks.

When Mail is Open on iMac, how can I keep mail from also going to iPhone?

I spend most of the day on my iMac, with Apple Mail open. Over a few hours, I get dozens or more emails. I deal with them on my Mac as they come in or I have time. Now the same emails also show up on my iPhone and iPad. How can I keep from having the emails sent to my iPhone and iPad when I have mail open on my iMac? It used to be that when my iMac was open and mail on, I couldn't get mail on my iPhone, which is just what I wanted.
I've messed around with mail preferences, but maybe don't know what to set. (I know I can inactivate my account on the iPhone and iPad, but don't always remember to do that.)

If you can remember to do that, your problem is solved.

How do I keep Mail from reloading already read emails

I travel for 3-4 months at a time. I have an iMac G5 at home and travel with an iPad mini retina. When on the road, I read and answer all emails on the iPad. When I return home and start the iMac, all these 100's of previously read emails on the iPad will now load on the iMac. Takes for ever and difficult to go and erase individually.
I am using an embarqmail.com account.
THanks for for your help.

How do I stop mail from downloading ALL my messages?

How do I tell mail not to download ALL my messages but rather only the recent ones that are relevant? I have 4 gmails and a regular imap account. If mail downloads all my messages it's going to waste 30 GB at least.
Thanks.

How do I prevent my laptop from downloading thousands of old messages i had stored on my gmail account?
Unchecking Mail will do nothing at all.
And as Gmail is an Imap account it will download all mail in the account to the client.
If this is unwanted behaviour use a different email system (a POP system) or remove the mail from the Gmail server.
Gmail can be configured as POP or IMAP

Mail not displaying most recent messages --1000 message capacity?

Sorry if this is a duplicate topic, I seached, but found nothing.
Here's my situation:
I have two email account on my iPhone. One is gmail, and one is my school email account. Before today, I have had no issues with mail at all, however, this morning when I go to check my school email, it showed me emails from last November as being the newest emails (and had correctely marked them as read). At the bottom of the list of emails, it said displaying "some number" out of 1000 messages. I have well over 1700 emails on this account so I do not understand why it was only counting up to 1000 of them all of the sudden, since I had passed the 1000 message barrier a long time ago.
After deleting tons of old emails, my phone then displayed messages from March of 2009, and still said "out of 1000" at the bottom. So, I logged onto my email and saw that I still had 1064 messages in the inbox. I then deleted more old messages until the inbox was at well under 900, and then all of the "missing" mail came through.
So, after my longwinded story, I guess I'm trying to ask why that happened, and if there is some email capacity I reached. I only have my phone display the last 50 messages, so I do not understand why it even matter how many messages are in the inbox.
Sorry if my wording is terrible... It's Friday and I'm tired.
thanks for any help!

I have the same problem and posted about it. So it's confirmed it's happening to more than 1 person. I also have 2 accounts setp up. Both are yahoo. One account is fine the other shows mail from 2 years ago as recent. I have over 2k messages in one folder and I can not delete them. They are work history. That's why I love the new yahoo cause it works like gmail and I can search that history now.
Anyway I need this fixed cause the inbox only shows about 10 new messages and then only shows like 6 months ago and older.
They have worked fine over the last month and now all the sudden I get up this morning and it went to crap..

Why is it that when I go to the search screen to find a particular message in a conversation it comes up with the message but when I click on it it takes me to the conversation where the most recent message was sent and not the message I wanted

Why is it that when I go to the search screen and type in a particular message I want to view, my iPhone finds it but when I click on it it only takes me to the conversation at the most recently thing texted and not the particular message I clicked on?

Never occurred to me you can search messages that way, thanks.
Another way to do it is to scroll from the most recent message to the top of the screen and tap load more messages, repeatedly till you reach the one you want.
I like your method better, but with both methods it refreshes to the most recent message.

I have 2 iphones and a macbook on one mobile me account. How can I keep mail in the macbook and one iphone private from the other iphone?

I have an iPhone 3G, an iPhone 3GS, and a MacBook on one macmail and mobile me account. How can I keep mail on the MacBook and iPhone 3 private from the iPhone 3GS?

Pretty much. I don't understand why you need to worry about MobileMe, though. I'd guess the vast majority of us with iDevices don't have MobileMe accounts at all. That's pretty much why it failed.

In mail how do I stop messages from the same sender from showing up when I select the most recent message from a sender?

on my iMac, when I view messages there is a grey number at the top of the message. This number denotes the amount of messages from that sender and when I view the most recent message in my mailbox (from that sender) all of the older messages load with it and this takes a while for the message to become moarked as "read." I know that I can turn this off because I have mountain lion on my air and i do not have this issue. how can i turn it off?
thanks

thanks so much, that fixed it! before I posted this quiestions I kept looking in the mail preferences but I dind't think to look on the View menu.

All of the mail on my iPad and iPhone disappeared after my outlook downloaded. How to I keep mail resident in both places?

I managed to lose an earlier reply I'd started before you came back with your "solved" so I didn't bother to retype it.
It went something like this:
You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into an authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup.
The older .itl file is useful however as iTunes should see this as the "home" library for your device which will allow you to preserve the application settings. (.itl file? Mac? I assume the library has migrated from PC to Mac at some point). Any files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder or did you kill those as well? The most recent of these would be the best place to start.
And no, the .itl file is not editable by mortals...
Once you've restored the media from backups or recovered whatever else you useful can from the device, the scripts MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks should help get the library up to speed with the contents of the media folder.

How do I stop mail from looping the same emails into inbox?

How do I stop mail from looping the same emails into the inbox over and over again? It does the same thing with deleted messages that keep showing up again and again in multiples even after deleting them. I have made sure my server settings in all email accounts are set to delete immediately once I delete them on my MacBook Pro/IPhone. This issue has severely compromised the efficiency of Mail on my MacBook. Thanks for any help you're able to give me.

I have tried that but it does not fix the problem.
The "card" group is not a previous recipient.
Although not available for editing in Contacts, it is a valid group showing up in the "To" field of Messages, Mail, or any app using the AddressBook.
Its associated file is automatically created in:
~/Library/ApplicationSupport/AddressBook/Sources/<hexaFolder>/MetaData/<hexa>ABG roup.abcdg
This is why it also shows up in the Spotlight results...
If I manually remove this file, it gets recreated...
If I turn off the syncing through iCloud, the entry gets deleted. If I turn it up, it comes back!

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

Have you seen this?
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

How do I stop iTunes from highlighting 'Now Playing' song

How do I keep iTunes from switching to and highlighting the 'Now Playing' track each time it switches tracks? It's quite annoying when scrolling my library or syncing a product with certain music and it then switches from Z to A as that is now the current track. Any insights?

Hello Garrett,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes launching unexpectedly. I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:
