Imap accounts - group message to diff accounts show read

My client works in a department where they have everyone's imap account seen by others so they don't have to log in and out all the time.
Since Mavericks when a group email is sent, one person reading the email will make it read for all other accounts. No very useful. I can't think of another way around it.
I've logged feedback with Apple.
Thanks

I am having the same problem. My gmail IMAP account no longer works and mail crashes nearly everytime I open it. This 1.1.3 update is not very stable and I am very dissapointed. Does anyone have a fix for this??

    when a read receipt shows delivered in messaging,will it then show read once it's has been read?

    Lets think about this for a bit. You have no problem when sending from Thunderbird. You have the problem when sending from 2 different Android smart phones that Thunderbird does not run on. You are connecting to your IMAP email account that is run by your email provider and viewing the folders on your provider's mail server.
    You are threatening to stop using Thunderbird? The one part of this equation that works. It is free software so I am sure Thunderbird will not miss the lack of revenue. I am just trying to understand your logic or lack there of.

  • Messages from POP account not showing up in IMAP account folders

    I've posted on this already, but I'm a little clearer about what the issue is, so I'm gonna try again.
    I'm using Mac Mail. Recently my ISP assigned me an IMAP account. [Customer service says "we only use POP," but I can't get a POP account.] Messages in my mailboxes show up fine. I'm having difficulty with the mailboxes directly associated with the account---Inbox, Sent, Draft, etc.
    I have only one Inbox. There are three Sent folders---the one that is always at the top of the sidebar, and two in an IMAP-specific set of folders. I coped the older messages from the POP account into what I thought were the corresponding folders of the IMAP account. Copied messages appear only in one of the IMAP Sent folders. However, when opened, they have no content. In some cases there is an indication that the content is "loading" but nothing ever appears.
    Is it possible to get the older messages from the POP to show up with content in the IMAP folders? I gather from reading related threads from the archive that copying messages between account types should not be a problem, but it is for me.
    Thanks,

    Well, I thought I found a solution in the archives here: Import the old messages from within Mail. Had no doubt that would work. Well, it didn't. Though all the old messages were Apple Mail messages, when I tried to import Mail said, "No valid Apple Mail files were found." Tried importing them as mbox files. Same result.
    IMAP has advantages for people who check mail from more than one device, or for multiple users of an account. Not having been forwarned by AT&T that I was going to be switched from POP to IMAP, it has been a big headache for me. And it clutters up the sidebar with a changing collection of folders, including many that seem redundant, and some whose purpose I can't, in my ignorance, imagine.
    Supposed to get a call today or tomorrow from a unit in AT&T that is "specially trained" to handle problems like mine. We'll see.
    I sure would like to get help from somewhere.

  • Messages suddenly not showing from IMAP account

    I have a number of mail accounts that I access through Mail. Suddenly one - an IMAP account to an Exchange server - stopped showing any messages. Everything seems fine on the web and phone access to the server; there are messages in the Users>Library>Mail folders and Time Mchine continues to show messages even after Mail stopped displaying them. I can send messages from the account and they show in Send. I've checked Mail preferences, but can't see anything wrong.  It just seems as if something needs switching on to display things.
    Help  appreciated.

    I've run across this problem as well. I'm using a non GoDaddy IMAP account and under 10.8.2 some messages aren't appearing on the computer. They show correctly on the server and two different pre 10.8 computers.
    What's odd is that if you select (cmd+a) all the messages and then go to View--≥Display Selected Messages Only, the number of messages and missing ones show up correctly.
    I've duplicated this problem on two different 10.8.2 computer installations. Creating a fresh user account and adding the account results in the same behavior. Any ideas? I may try doing a fresh install from 10.8.0 and seeing if that resolves the problem.                             

  • I have multiple imap accounts on thunderbird, but the last two accounts will not show messages in the inbox.

    I have 7 imap accounts some with several subscribed folders. One is a gmail account. The others are from a personal .com. Everything works fine, including the gmail, except the last two accounts added will not sync the inboxes. The sent boxes sync fine, but I see no messages in the inboxes of just the last two accounts added. I know the imap server is working properly as the messages received to these accounts can be viewed via webmail, and the inboxes sync just fine on my email on my phone. I have been over and over all the settings from account to account. What am I missing. Please help.
    Thank you.

  • Is there a way to recover messages after they've been moved from local folders to an IMAP account, which deleted them after they were moved?

    I was trying to get Thunderbird to access my Hotmail account through IMAP instead of POP, so I moved all my messages from the account to "Local Folders", then I removed the POP account and created the new IMAP one. After that I started to move messages into the IMAP account, but I ran into some trouble when the server wouldn't want to accept all the messages I was uploading and it would stop.
    So, I decided to move everything from "Local Folders" into the IMAP account while Thunderbird was offline, once it finished, I went online and instead of uploading the newly found messages in my IMAP account to the server, it decided to delete the messages. I guess because the actual online account contained no files so it wanted to synchronise and make my offline folder to also contain no files.
    In short, never try this. It's a disaster. And, I know I should've made a back up prior to trying this, it's just that Thunderbird is usually very reliable, it never occurred to me.
    I still have the MBOX and MSF files, but even though they contain information, no extension can extract it.
    Could anyone, please, help me out?

    Hi,
    I had tried using that very same extension right after messing things up, but it hadn't worked because I deleted the original folders as well.
    Then I tried doing a System Restore (luckily, Windows had decided to do an automatic one the night before), but still the missing emails weren't showing.
    A while after that I saw your suggestion and it hit me that I had not tried it after doing the System Restore, so I tried it and all messages were flooding back just like magic.
    Thank you very much for your help! I'm very happy right now.

  • Can I copy messages between a POP and an IMAP account?

    Yesterday in helping me get access to my mail customer service at my ISP [AT&T] created a new account. Subsequently, when I deleted the old account, I lost all the messages in my Inbox and Sent folder. I did not realize when the new account was being created that it's an IMAP account. In the past AT&T mail accounts have been  POP accounts.
    I have a Time Machine. I restored the /Library/Mail folder from a time immediately preceding creation of the new account. I thought I would simply copy the older Inbox and Sent folder into the new /Library/Mail folder. but I noticed that the IMAP and POP folders are structered differently. I have tried copying messages files from the POP account folders into the corresponding IMAP folders, but they still are not showing up in the Inbox and Sent folders.
    Is there a way to solve this problem---to get the missing messages from the POP account to the IMAP account?
    Thanks,

    Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

  • Upadted to 2.2  ~ Now POP3 Account Shows Hundreds of 'Unread' Messages

    Hi,
    I just did a successful update to v 2,2, everything has gone just fine, except my Mail.
    I have two mail accounts, A MobileMe (Which is working just fine) and a Pop3 account.
    On my iMac, that account shows NO unread messages, but on my iphone, it says 271 are Unread. I started to delete the first 25 that came up (which are my most recent e-mails) but then it loads another 25 Unread messages.
    This is a nightmare, every-time I delete 25, another lot pop-up, yet these messages are most definitely read on on my iMac.
    Can someone suggest a remedy for this please?
    All suggestions most welcome. ;

    You updated to 2.2 from which firmware version?
    Sounds like your POP account was recreated or reset as a newly created email account with your iPhone's mail client.
    When creating a POP account with an email client, all messages that remain on the server will be downloaded as new unread messages, regardless if you have already downloaded and read the messages with the email client on your computer. This also means you didn't remove the messages from the server when downloaded by the email client used on your computer for accessing the account.
    POP account mailboxes and messages are not kept synchronized with the server as is supported with an IMAP account. The only server stored mailbox that is available with a POP account when accessing the account with an email client is the account's Inbox mailbox, and any new messages received at the incoming mail server are downloaded by the email client used to access the account, with an option to remove the downloaded messages from the server when downloaded or leave the messages on the server for download with another email client used to access the account.
    In this situation, it sounds like your POP account was recreated or reset on your iPhone as a new account, so all messages that remain on the server were downloaded as new messages again.
    Marking a received message as read with an email client for a POP account does not mark the message as read with another email client used to access the account and vice-versa. This is possible with an IMAP account since all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.

  • I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

    ok sorry everyone but i solved it myself but the solution is so nuts i've posted it here to help others who have the same problem.
    to setup a comcast imap account on your iphone:
    go to mail, contacts, etc in settings
    under accts, select add account
    select "other"
    new screen, choose "add mail account"
    now on the new acct screen you must enter your name, email address and password for your GMAIL acct ! (yes i said your gmail acct !, or some other acct with a NON comcast address).
    hit next
    then the acct verifies
    when verified a screen will open with all the acct settings for this acct AND @ the top of the screen are the 2 buttons > imap or POP
    select imap and THEN CHANGE ALL THE ACCOUNT information to the comcast account !
    then hit next and the account will take a couple minutes to verify but it will verify and now you have a comcast imap acct set up on your iphone.  The problem must be that when the iphone sends the initial verify acct info to comcast (if you enter that information first) the comcast server is simply not setup yet to signal the iphone that there is an imap option.

  • Need help with an error message when making changes to an IMAP account

    I have several IMAP accounts in my Mac Mail. Today when I tried to edit the, "Full Name" associated with the account I got an error message that said:
    Invalid Directory
    The account path /Users/kristen/Library/Mail/[email protected]@host365.ISPhost.com is already being used by the account "Silver"
    Did I somehow corrupt something? I'm not sure why making this small change to the full name would cause such an error. Please help.
    Thanks!!

    stop() forcibly kills a thread. You shouldn't use this method because if the thread is in a critical section of code, you can cause data corruption or deadlock.
    Instead, if you need to stop execution from another thread, invoke the interrupt() method.
    Good luck.

  • Sent messages from IMAP accounts are not being saved

    I have three IMAP accounts setup on MAIL but none of them save sent mail - preferences are set correctly ......

    Who is the provider of this account? Where do server-stored mailboxes appear in Mail? Do they appear as subfolders of the account’s Inbox maybe?
    If server-stored mailboxes appear as subfolders of the account’s Inbox in Mail, this account requires INBOX to be typed in Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > IMAP Path Prefix for Mail to manage and display its mailboxes properly. After having done that, Mail should be able to save messages on the server, but maybe in a mailbox different from where you want them to be. To fix that, select the desired folder in Mail and choose the appropriate option from Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For.

  • Messages not being marked as Read on IMAP account on iMac

    I use the Mail application on my iMac to read my Gmail. I have it set up as IMAP, and it has worked very well for a long time. Recently, however, I noticed that if I read my mail on my iPhone, or my work computer (both of which have the correct IMAP settings), the messages are not being marked as Read (unbolded) on my iMac. I have to quit and restart Mail for the messages to be unbolded.
    Not a big issue, but I wonder why it is happeneing, and how to correct it?

    I'm getting this too. Switching to a different folder and back gets rid of the blue dot. This only happens with my exchange account. All other accounts work normally.

  • With an IMAP account, if "Store sent messages on the server" is checked does Mail only store mail on the server?

    With an IMAP account, if "Store sent messages on the server" is checked (in Mailbox behaviors) does Mail only store sent mail on the server?
    So should it not be checked if you want Mail to store sent mail on the server and the computer?
    Thank you.
    iHope

    Hi Norm G,
    Thanks for your comments and the link to further information.
    With it checked you will get both on the server and the Mac.
    I have it checked, yet when I pause the curser over Sent mailbox the tooltip says "Contents stored on server. Name on server: Sent Messages". Does this mean stored only on the server or also on the server?
    What does your tooltip say?
    At the moment sent emails only appear in that Sent mailbox. If Mail also stores them on the Mac should they also appear in another Sent folder "On My Mac"?
    Thanks for your help.
    iHope

    iPad using gmail....on mail account on iPad the messages are blank with 12/31/00 as the date, but when logged on to gmail through Safari, the account show the accurate messages that were sent. Any ideas what is happening?

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
    2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
