I miss the feature "Automatically mark message as read when opened" as was found in Eudora

This would make Thunderbird much mor user friendly as the two present alternatives are just annoying.

As I said in my last reply, there is no message preview. You have the choice of reading in a message pane in the main windows along with the mail lists, on a tab (double click) or if you change the settings in a window. But there is no preview hence mail is marked read when you read it.
You appear to be looking for a feature that simply does not exist.

  • How do I change the default from"Mark message as read by date" to "Mark message as read"?

    When I migrated from Windows XP to Windows 7 I downloaded & installed a new version of Thunderbird (v4.10.2) and retrieved my Mail files to the new profile. Everything seems to be working properly except that whenever I close an open message I get the "Mark messages as read by date" popup which has the current date but wants me to specify a starting date. This didn't happen in my previous installations (I've used Thunderbird for years). Options / Advanced / Reading & Display has "Automatically mark messages as read" checked and "Immediately on display" set, but I haven't found anything that lets me choose "Mark as read" rather than "Mark as read by date". How do I turn the "by date" off?
    Thanks --

    'Mark Message as read by Date'
    This can be invoked by right click on email in list and select 'Mark' > 'As read by date' to invoke the 'Mark Message as read by Date' pop up window.
    If you are reading an email in either the Message Pane or in a new tab and press the 'C' key, this will open the 'Mark Message as read by Date' pop up window.
    So can you tell us exactly how you are ''closing'' a previously unread message.
    Do you select an email in the list so that it displays in the Message Pane? Then you do not need to close it because this will auto happen when you select another email in the list.
    OR do you double click to open an email in a tab. Then how do you close it? There are some options on how to do this:
    # Do you click on the small 'x' located in the tab?
    # do you use 'Ctrl'+'W' ?
    # Do you right click on tab to show drop down options and then press 'C' key?
    I notice that there is a similar action - pressing of 'C' key.
    If you do not right click to get drop down, but instead just use 'C' key, you will invoke the 'Mark Message as read by Date' window.
    Can you check what it is you are doing

  • Mail.app marks messages as read when they are downloaded

    I'm using mail to pop my messages from an exchange server, and the messages are being left on the server, but marked as read. I want them to be left as unread - is there any way to do this?
    Most recent version of Mail and Snow Leopard.
    Thanks!

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

  • IPhone 4S is marking messages as read when received .  This only happens if I have Thunderbird open on my destop.

    Help.
    How do I properly set up either IPhone 4S and/or Thunderbird 7.0.1 so that messages downloaded to both IPhone and Thunderbird are not marked as read until actually opened on either my desktop or IPhone. 
    My IPhone is IMAP configured for connection to my office email account.
    Any help most appreciated.

    Is the media actually synced to the phone?

  • Mail will not mark messages as read after being opened

    Mail will not mark messages as read after being opened... the blue dot will NOT go away, no matter how many times I open the e-mail.
    It's a simple pop account. I AM able to mark messages read with the message menu item (mark as read.) I also have nothing synced with it, no iPhone, no IMAP accounts, no .mac account, nothing.
    But this is a real pain to have to do manually, when it used to happen automatically upon clicking the e-mail, it opening in a window to read, and then closing it.
    All was working fine up until the 10.5.7 update. I hoped the 10.5.8 update would fix the problem, but no change. Everything else is working perfectly (I do the permissions repair/disk verify procedure before and after each update.)
    Can't seem to find anyone else with this problem in here either, through search or just going through hundreds of messages.

    Okay, then lets try this:
    1. Select all your messages in the Inbox; then use the contextual menu or the Message > Mark menu to mark them all as Read.
    2. Quit Mail.
    3. Go to Home/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file.
    4. Restart Mail, wait for the index to rebuild and retrieve any new email you might have, and see if the problem contineus. Hopefully it will not.

  • Marking Messages as Read

    ARGGGGGG!!  All I wanted to do was to mark all of the messages in the Notebook forum read and then move on to the Desktop forum.   However, when I was on the page that showed only the subcategories for Notebooks and I clicked mark all messages read, it marks EVERY message read in every category!!!!  Any chance that their could be an option for marking read only the subcategories in one section without it clearing every new messages in the forums?
    Thanks!

    I don't always have the time to go into a dozen different forums and mark them all as read individually.  It also doesn't work to set my profile up to mark all messages as read when I log off as I may be in and out of the forums and not always get the chance to see everything before I have to log out again.  Would be nice to see the ability to mark just the notebook/desktop/printers or feedback section as read.

    PLz tell me why! How to deal with it !

    Unless it's confirmed officially that your phone is defective, then you can ask for a replacement. Or you have to live with you. However you can trade it for a new one if you don't care the price drop.

  • In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail

    In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail? I want to click on a mail and read this in the preview pane only without showing it as read.

    Not possible. In order to read an email in the preview pane requires opening the message. You can mark a message that you've read as unread after reading it.

    Hi
    Based on the instance number of the servers, you can determine the gateway to be used.
    IF your ECC instance number is , 01 then gateway would be , sapgw01 (in ECC system)
    So check and change the settings accordingly, in the RFC connection. Also check, if this entry sapgw01 is made in /etc/service file. Also check, in transaction smgw for gateway parameters.
    Hope this info helps,

    How do I fix?

    Unless you deliberately downgraded iTunes at the same time this may be a sign of a corrupt library. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

    To see if there are any backups of your device on the computer, go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
    Moving the mouse over the listed backups will tell you to which device they belong.
    If there is no backup of your phone listed, your data is gone.
    In case you also used iCloud to back up your data, check this article:

  • How to prevent Mail form marking the messages as read when marked?

    I use Mail 3.0 on Leopard (10.5.1).
    Each time I click on a message, it automatically marks the message as read.
    Is there any way to prevent this from happening? How can i set up a time-delay or switch it off?

    I think the only way would be for Apple to implement a delay for marking files as read. Perhaps putting a delay of a second or two would work, so folks can browse through their mail without actually reading it. As it is, though, there's no way to prevent mail from marking a message you browse over.

  • How do I disable the feature that asks, "...is an application that was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?" I get this message every time I double-click to unpack a zip file.

    I am using Firefox 6.0 (I know it's an older version, but I am a doctoral student at a university that is whose system is, at this time, only compatible with this version) on an Intel Mac.

    If using a mouse, you can right click on the application installer this will give you an "Open with" popup and you can chooes to open the application installer using the standard installer.
    Another method to do the same exact thing is to hold the Control key while left clicking on the Application installer will give you the exact same popup menu.
