How to control read/unread status of email

I would like to be able to simply view (in the preview pane) emails without them being marked as 'read'. Is there a way to do this in the Mac mail client (Snow Leopard)?
When I actually open the email, it would then be marked as 'read'.
Outlook for Windows allows the user to control how they want the email client to handle "preview" vs "open" differently when it comes to marking the email as 'read' and I'd like to be able to do the same thing in the Mac.

From the Mail Help menu:
*Viewing messages in separate windows*
Normally, Mail displays the contents of messages in the bottom portion of the viewer window, letting you easily scan and move between messages. As you select each message, it is marked as having been read.
You can also view each message in a separate window.
If you want to view some messages in the bottom portion of the viewer window and some separately, you can open multiple viewer windows.
• To remove the bottom portion of the viewer window, so you don't see the message contents in the window, double-click the bar that separates the list of messages from the message content. To view a message, double-click it, and it opens in its own window. The message is not marked as read until you open its window.
• To restore message contents to the viewer window, double-click the separator bar at the bottom of the window.
• To open multiple viewer windows, choose File > New Viewer Window.

  • Email read/unread status syncing

    Speeks like they are marked as read on phone if you swipe down to dismiss, but not if you hit dismiss at bottom of email

  • Determine the read/unread status of a message in a users inbox

    Is there any way to see the current status of a read/unread message attribute. The email is confidential and the user is not supposed to see it. The sender wants assurance that the email was not read. He wont accept a screen shot as the email could always
    be marked as unread.  I have tried MSMAPI but the attribute doesn't seem to be listed, though I cant determine the Hex code meaning. Thanks for any leads.

    "read"
    is just a flag on the message (PR_MESSAGE_FLAGS), it can be changed and it cannot guarantee you if the message was actually read. Confidential mail should be encrypted or IRM-protected, so you can blame the sender as much as the recipient.

  • Does "read / unread status" work consistently with the current version of iPad os and Exchange?

    I'm having issues with "read / unread" email status syncing successfully between iOS devices and Outlook/Exchange.
    Reading an email on the iPad only marks the email as "read" on Outlook about 50% of the time, and vice versa.
    Syncing "red flags" on emails is inconsistent as well.
    I'm unsure if this is just a quirk with iPad / iOS, or if this is an issue my hosted Exchange provider needs to look into.
    Does read/unread sync work consistently for the rest of you? Thanks.\
    The iPad is on 6.01. Unsure what version of Exchange the provider is running.
    Thanks

    We run Exchange 2010 with Activesync and we don't notice any issues with our exchange setup.  Either on iPhones or iPads. 

  • How do you read MS Exchange Server email

    I am trying to develop a server side LabVIEW email action application that will use subject line of generated client emails,  sent to a specific account, too perform an 'action' based on the structured commands of the email subject line.
    As this  application is residing and running on a server I wish to advioid the use of connectivity through another application (like outlook).
    The wish is to directly read and manipulate emails from, to  and on the MS exchange server.
    I'm Seeking advice on the best and most robust method in  programming a LabVIEW access routine for  MS exchange email service ?
    I have already experimented with Pop3 using the TCP/IP and webdav but have experienced limitations in my pursuit of using these connectivity methods.
    thanking you in advance for your time and advice
    Greg

    Thanking you for your response
    whilst i have been looking at the MSDN web site and others, i was interested in the experiences of others to direct me in how to tackle this problem to create a reliable and robut product with the manipulation capabilities of emails neccessary to my project.
    ie read and process an email
    - read email (sender, subject and body)
    -get a count of new recieved emails
    - after processing either mark as  read or shift to a processed folder in web exchange
    - if action email fails to process shif to error folder on the exchange
    - if unrecognised format or sender shift to junk folder
    - send acknowledgement email on successful processing
    Corey thnking you and looking forward to your oher posts and ideas

  • Does anyone know how to remove read only status from html document header

    Greetings, I am trying to insert a slideshow widget inot a dreamweaver site using a dynamic web template (DWT). I get the error message unable to insert because header is read only. Any ideas of how to fix this?

    People hate it when I do this, but I'm going to get on my soap box again.
    If you are not an expert or at least highly proficient at modifying XHTML and CSS code, you should NOT be working with DWT files. Until you FULLY understand how to edit and modify nested, editable, parent and child regions, you will have nothing but trouble working with DWTs.
    I've been writing CSS, HTML and XHTML for seven years and I don't mess with DWTs because I'll admit I'm a control freak and I can't stand having any part of a web page locked up by another file.
    Use the pre-designed pages in DW, or download a layout from one of the many sites that have them, but until you are an expert at codework, stay away from templates (dwt). You'll save yourself a lot of headaches.

  • Hotmail - Read/Unread status

    Is there a way to keep messages marked as read on Hotmail (web) even if I open them on my Blackberry?
    e.g. currently on my gmail account, if I read (or even delete - handheld only) a message on my blackberry... and I open my gmail account on my computer via a browser, I can still see the message marked unread. Would like to do the same on hotmail.

    Hello,
    All reconciliation features are governed by this LB:

    If you turn wireless reconciliation off, then you turn off ALL reconciliation...you cannot turn off just one component of reconciliation.
    Hope that helps!

    Is this by design?

    What's even stranger is that according to my settings all messages over 10 days old should be set to 'read'...
    I've been looking, but it seems I can only toggle the 'read' status per board. That I hit that accidentally on one board I can understand, however all the boards?

  • How can I read my old POP3 emails on Thunderbird from a closed email account that Thunderbird first wants me to open?

    For several years, I routinely used Thunderbird to download (POP mode) emails from my previous Centurytel.net email account. I thought that these POP emails downloaded onto my computer via Thunderbird would later be readable, even though I closed my Centurytel.net email account. However, when opening Thunderbird (to try to read any), the Thunderbird software insists on first logging into that (now defunct email account) by username and password. Of course, now that fails as that account at Centurytel.net no longer exists. Is there a way to still read such old emails by bypassing in Thunderbird the requirement to first log into that now defunct email account?
    Thanks in advance for any and all help, Paul

    Try setting Thunderbird to offline - look under File on the menu.
    Now if you move the messages to Local Folders, you can delete the account in Thunderbird and you won't get any further connection errors.

  • How to change read-only status in excel

    I've got an Excel file on my desktop that I've tinkered with for months.  All of a sudden when I go back to reopen it, the message says, "The file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location.  Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding."  The choices are either "cancel," or "retry."  Both avail nothing.
    What the heck is going on?  I can't even open it in order to  "toy" with it in Excel settings, Preferences, etc etc !
    Your help is most appreciated.

  • Online / offline, read/ unread status, message order

    Kind of exhausting dealing with the UTTER JUNK skype software on a daily basis. As I sit now with my Mac and iPhone Skype in front of me, talking to the same person: * One of these devices says the person is online, the other says they are offline. * Message order is different between the different devices. * My iPhone is missing the last several messages sent for an hour now, even though I reboot, reconnect etc. * Unlike things like FB messenger, you can't tell for sure when they read the message. * Messages got stuck in the system for hours today (leading me to great personal strife). Why oh why do we use this junk when FB messanger has so far lifted the bar of good design, reliability and user interface over Skype which seems stuck in the 1990s, Skype can't release anything that isn't full of bugs, they don't release even basic new features, and it hasn't even been as reliable as it used to be 5 years ago for a long time. Just junk, that's all.

    Hi, Don't wanna use the GMail app (don't like it really).Besides, this used to work perfect before the update, so it's clearly a bug. On other issue I found:When deleting a message which is open (using the trash can symbol at the top), sometimes the mail reappears when the app goes back to the inbox.When deleting using a swipe action, this never seems to happen.
