How to mark mail read

I get a lot of mail and use my Mac for most email work but my iPad will have hundreds of mail as not read. How can I mark all read with just a few steps

Hello keith3966,
This can be done by selecting all of your messages, then marking them as read.
Delete, move, or mark multiple messages. While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select some messages, then choose an action. If you make a mistake, shake iPad immediately to undo.

    I have a  macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

  • How to mark all mail read?

    Anyone have any idea how to mark all mail read instead of going through all of them?

    It's one of those *** was Apple thinking issues. No, you can not mass delete emails. It's one-by-one only. Sorry.

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

  • 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.

  • How do I set Mail to not mark as read every time I click on a message?

    I have an IMAP account which we share in the company between several of us. Basically, if there's a case that's unread its fair game. Thing is that every single time I go over a message with mail it's marked as read and sometimes I forget to mark it as unread again. On Thunderbird and other programs I can have a time limit before it is set to read. Is there such a thing with Mail or with any of its plugins?
    Thanks.

    Turn the Wireless receiver off on your laptop, then your laptop won't connect to your modem. Or, use the reset button on the back of the modem to reset your modem.

  • Mail, how to move and "mark as read" only copied mail?, Mail, how to move and "mark as read" only copied mail?

    Hi, I need a help to make a folder-backup (using a limited-size Exchange mailbox ... )
    Is there a way, using Rules/Filter for Mail to:
    copy a mail to a specific folder
    mark as read only the copied mail
    If I write this rule, the mail is copied, but both mail are mark-as-read and I cannot find what I need to read.
    Thanks.

    But this marks the message as read also in Thunderbird.

    When you use OWA in something other than IE, you're using OWA lite and no--it is not possible to do either in OWA lite (well, new Exchange stuff makes my answer a little less emphatic but still: pretty much no). Thanks Microsoft. But this guy made it possible to mark unread/read and select all/none:

  • Mail being marked as read automatically

    I have iOS 6.1.4 on iPhone 5 and multiple mail accounts.
    Gmail or Exchange - mail is being marked as read automatically even if I have not touched the mail. Not sure why this is happening but it is definitely an issue. I also beta tested version 7 beta 2 ios and it does the same thing.
    with 5 minutes of the mail running on the iphone and no user intervention mail files are marked as read. The read is then synced to Gmail and Exchange accounts so you miss mail as all are marked as read.

    I have stumbled across and answer to a similar question posted in 2012.
    Search for :
    How do I stop Mail auto-reading emails
    It is not possible apparently.

  • My Mail is marked as read

    All of my mail (in Mail) is marked as read within a very short time of receiving it. This is obviously very frustrating. I have Mail on my iPhone, iPad, Mac desktop and laptop. My account is synced with Google (Gmail). I have looked through all the settings in Mail and Google and don't see how I can adjust this. The most recent things I have done that might have affected this is to cancel a Plaxo account and added an iPad to my collection. What can I do?

    This is happening to me too on one e-mail account setup in mail (of seven). It's a OSX (mail) Server that is running the mail server in question. The Google apps e-mail accounts don't have this issue.
    Edit: Just realized this was osx 10.7 - I am on 10.9.

  • Mail 2.0.5 - all my messages are missing after marking as read!!!

    Ok Mail has worked more or less fine for me after upgrading from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3..until a few minutes ago when I decided to mark all the unread messages in my inbox as read. I hadn't read quite a few, so instead of going and clicking on each one, I just selected all, right clicked, and chose Mark as Read. Suddenly they all disappeared, all but a few. I have two inboxes, one on my ISP, and one .mac. Disk Utility says the hard disk is fine, so I rebuilt both inboxes, and now my ISP inbox still just shows a few emails (appears to be the emails I've received since upgrading to Tiger, only a few days' worth), and my .mac inbox now shows about a years' worth of emails...but I know I have more than that, since I've had the .mac account for 2-3 years or so. Also next to the .mac inbox there is some sort of a progress icon (a pie gradually filling in). If I hover the mouse over the .mac account, it says "Contents stored on server. Name on server: INBOX". Which doesn't make sense, since I have always had Mail download the mail from both my accounts, deleting from server after downloading. If I get info on my ISP inbox, it displays "Account Info", and under the Show Messages on POP server, it shows a bunch of messages from about a year ago. But if I pulldown the menu and instead of showing "all messages on POP server" I choose either of the other options ("items downloaded to my Mac" or "items removed from my Mac"), the list is exactly the same.
    My mail appears to be still on my hard drive, since getting info on the various mailbox folders in ~/Library/Mail/ shows about the right amounts of data. I don't want to lose over 300MB (at least 5 years worth) of email....anyone know what could have happened, and more importantly how to fix it?? Thanks!

    Ok after thoroughly searching previous threads about similar problems (existing messages not being displayed by Mail 2.x.x), it appears the 10.4 Archive and Install didn't completely convert the mbox file from my ISP email, since there were only a few emlx files (but there are hundreds of emails in the mbox)...so I had to resort to reimporting it manually. Not sure what happened though to make Mail see all the messages for a few days after installing 10.4.3; there was no error message during the system install, and all I did that prompted all my messages to disappear was to mark all as read...
    As far as the .mac goes, I have no clue where those emails went...I discovered that somewhere along the line my mbox file for .mac account got corrupt...but nothing over a year old is even on the server, which is odd. Those messages apparently are forever lost. Add me to the statistics of why it's important to back up. :/

  • How to make Mail stop marking messages from my Contacts as Junk?

    I use Mail to access both my Gmail and Mac mail. Mail has begun marking as Junk messages from my Contacts, including VIPs. In Preferences, I have checked the boxes to have Contacts and Previous Recipients exempt from email filtering, yet they still sometimes end up marked as Junk and sent to the Junk folder. These are all Gmail messages: I use my iCloud account very little. I've unchecked the Trust junk mail headers... and Filter junk mail before applying my rules. I don't see how to make Mail leave my Gmail alone! Can anyone help?

    Google recommends turning off Apple mail Junk filters if using gmail filters.

  • How do you mark mail as "not junk'?

    The "not junk mail" icon is not working---I highlight the mis-identified message, and the icon should change to a "thumbs-up" so I can say "not junk mail" but it doesn't change.  I have not been able to figure out how to mark things as "not junk."  Any ideas?

    Which email? Yahoo, AOL, Exchange, etc.? I find that I have to do this on a webmail interface, personally.

  • Under Mail Flagged shows 1 "flagged" Nothing there when I click on it and will not remove the number1 even when I mark as read...

    In Mail under Mailboxes > Flagged shows 1. There is nothing there. Have tried to mark as read and 1 still remains. How do I get rid of it?

    I have tried the holding down the icon to get the shaking apps and although the X shows up clicking on it does nothing.
