Imap email incorrectly marked as read before I open them.

HI,
My email is set up as imap on my MacBookPro. I noticed when I opened by mail yesterday that it showed I only had 1 unread email - which is greatly incorrect. Tonight when I opened mail, my new messages for today suddenly changed to read all at once, before I had opened them. I have gone through my mail preferences and can't find anything to explain it, and I had not changed anything, that I can think of. I have set up no filters or rules. I am in classic view.
The POP account on my Mac Mini is fine.
Thanks, I would appreciate any help.

Who is hosting the email server?
Is this through your work?
Are you hosting your own email server?
Have you ever downloaded from this email server on another mobile device?
If this is an IMAP email, and if the email is being checked at another location by anyone then it would be marked as read. This could also be a setting issue on the email server itself.

Bug? Imap messages are marked as read before I read them

I have set up an email account pointing back to my host mail server. Using imap (I assume I am because it wants to use port 143), messages are downloaded, but they immediately appear as read - rather than unread.
Is this a bug? If not, how do I fix this?

Why are my emails being marked as read automatically?

I recently changed from iPhone 4 to 5; I never experienced any email issues with the iphone4. Now my emails on iphone5 ;same account etc) are sometimes marked as read before I view them. This happens every night over night without fail, and invariable happens during the day too (although not always- I can't yet see any pattern in this). It's extremely frustrating as I could rely on looking at my lock screen on iphone4 to see my recent unread emails; and I now cannot rely on this (and there's normally nothing there as its all marked as read in my inbox, before I've seen it! Then I have to check through each message to make sure I haven't missed something).
There are no other devices running to access this inbox; it is set up on my home laptop through outlook (as it was with iphone4); but this is only switched on about once a week just to download the messages.
Please does anyone have a solution to this very frustrating issue? I did not expect that by upgrading I would be worse off!

Unread emails marked as read without being opened

On my Ipad 2, unread emails are marked as read without being opened. This happens when I open the email from my laptop after using the ipad. There are four email accounts on the ipad and they are all experiencing this. Any idea what is going on?

I rebuilt it several days ago and no change. I watched what happens and when an email comes in it shows unread and then changes to read immediately. Today, for some reason, the emails started coming in as unread and staying that way. I didn't change anything. ?????

Unread emails self marking as read...

Hi,
I had all my unread email this morning in one of my IMAP accounts showing up as read before I had clicked on them.
I also have new notes randomly opening then showing up as an unread email/note with a blue dot at the left.
Any ideas? TIA

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
Note: /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index does not exist in 10.5 & up.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...

Emails being marked as read on Z10

I have a major issue on my blackberry Z10. emails are marked as read even though i have not read them.
I have seen another post where users have an issue with mails being downloaded on Outlook. I thought my issue was similar and hence spent an entire day without launching outlook. nevertheless emails continue to be marked as read.
if i have received 10 emails, i go into 1 to read it, but when i come back into the hub, the other 9 emails are marked as read as well.
however, once i re-mark the emails as unread they stay marked unread. but this has to be done manually.
nonetheless, this is a very frustrating process for someone who uses unread emails as a tool to follow-up on tasks.
BTW: i am using version 10.0.10.82 now and have regularly updated the OS, but faced the same issue for 3 months.

Hey kabsl,
Thanks for the post.
What type of email account is attached to your BlackBerry Z10? (POP3, IMAP, Exchange). Also have you tried removing and re-adding the email account to test?
Is this email account only setup on one computer or several computer?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

How can I view my 6D raw files before I open them in post processing?

How can I view my 6D raw files after I load them on my computer & before I open them on a post processing Program?
I have no problem doing that with my 1DX,1DIV or 5Dmk III. This problem exist with any sdhc card I use on the 6D, but not on any other camera with the same cards.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Your computer doesn't have camera RAW support installed for a 6D. RAW isn't really a standard-format... it's more of a concept. Every individual camera has it's own unique RAW format (even though they all have the same .CR2 extension).
Each time a new camera comes out, companies that make RAW processing software will make an update available that adds that camera. You'll need to get that update and install it.

I shoot with a Canon 7D, have Windows 7 installed on my computer, Adobe CS4 (Bridge & Photoshop). I'm trying to open the CR2 files in Bridge to adjust them before I open them up in Photoshop, but it's giving me an error code saying it's the wrong file type. I downloaded the latest updates for Adobe Raw as well as the DNG converter, however I don't want to have to convert to DNG before opening in Bridge. Please let me know what I can do to open the CR2 files directly in Bridge CS4, thank you!

Why are all emails automatically marked as read?

I recently switched my wifes email account from a POP to a IMAP. (same email address, same server, same provider)
Shortly before doing that we upgraded to Lion.
She also gets mail from this account on her iPhone.
Question: For some reason all of her new emails are automatically marked as read. No blue dots. This happens when a new message is recieved on either the Mac or on the iPhone. Everything else about the email account works properly. My email accounts on the same Mac work properly. (Same user account)
Any ideas what might be causing this? Is this problem being caused in the Mail problem or is it something on the server side?
Thanks.

UPDATE:
I have now deleted the account from the iphone. No change in the behavior. It's not the iphone that is causing this.
When an email is recieved it stays unread for about 20 minutes. And then it mysteriously changes all by itself to read. I have logged into the Webmail panel for this account and the behavior is mirrored there.
please help !!

All incoming emails being marked as 'read' on my Droid x

All incoming emails to my pop3 or imap accounts are being automatically marked as 'Read'.
Any fix for this issue?
If I have outlook open, which is running exchange client Outlook 2007, and my Droid is running imap or pop3, messages being delivered are being displayed as READ.
I have tried closing outlook, and then downloading emails to my droid without reading any of the 80 unread emails - then turning off my Droid....Followed by opening Outlook, but the messages show up in outlook as being READ.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you installed any apps that auto display the emails when they come in? If so the auto read feature may be triggering this, I had a app at one time that showed my emails in the preview window and it made the emails be listed as read... I would check your apps and make sure you are not using something like this unknowingly.

Email messages marked as READ on my Exchange server

Hi,
My email account is retrieving my messages from my work's exchange server. When I read them on my BB they are marked as read on the server. I have missed metings and deadlines. I would like to enable that my messages on the server remain unread even if I view them on my BB. How do I do that?
Thanks.

Mail.app + Gmail IMAP, stop auto mark as read

I just switched over to IMAP on my Gmail account and I got everything working fine, except one thing:
I've applied rules in Mail.app so they sort into their corresponding folders on the server (or Labels, in Gmail terms). For some reason because of this, certain messages are automatically marked as read.
This doesn't happen to messages that aren't sorted (ie, they stay in the Inbox > Gmail). The strange thing is, this only happens to certain messages that are sorted.
Anybody have any idea?

Resolved.

Using Mail - items being marked as read before I have read them

Hi
How do I stop Mail marking an item as read as soon as I move the cursor away from it in the ail listing? Just because it is shown in the preview pane does not mean I have read it yet.
In Outlook I can change a setting so that items are not marked a s read until I double click them to open them fully and read them - how do I do the same in Mail?
Also if I delete an item from the list, the cursor moves UP to the previous item (I have ordered the list so that newest mail is at the top. I then start reading from the top down..). Can I change a setting somewhere to move the cursor the other way after processing an email?
Many thanks

The only way to have it not be marked as read is to turn the preview pane off (then you double-click each message to open/read it).

Safari 6 (7536.25) on Mid 2007 Mini running Lion damages pdf files when downloaded. Adobe reader can't open them; downloaded via Chrome they can be opened.

When I download pdf files using Safari 6, they can't be read by Adobe Reader; using Safari to read them isn't a solution, because Safari doesn't allow them to be printed page by page. The same files, downloaded by Chrome, by contrast, can be opened and printed. Is there a patch for this problem?
