Inbox Icon..the blue dot

Have taken delivery of a very nice mini Ipad.....my issue is that when email drops into my inbox, it isnt marked with a blue dot to show unread..this makes seeing unread messages very difficult as they look the same as all of the read ones.....how do i get the blue dot ot appear next to unread messages ?

Hi,
Heres another thread discussing the same issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1644711
The emails are most likely malformed spam emails.
You may be able to reconfigure the junk mail filter on the server, so that it catches these emails.

  • Anybody have an issue with the blue dot on new emails dissapearing??

    I recently reloaded my email accounts on my iPhone 4 (and ipad) on the direction of an apple store employee so my iPad, iPhone and iMac would sync (show email activity as if I were just using one device and not having new messages show unread or not deleted based on activity on other devices).
    Well, that seems to have done the trick except one huge issue... New emails coming in rarely have the blue dot. Sometimes they will show one my list of emails in my inbox and the blue dot will right before my eyes, before view the new email content. I mostly use my iPhone, and no one has access to my iPad or iMac so the cant be the issue. I can get a bunch of new emails and they never show as new. It is very inconsistent, but mostly new show as new messages on my iPhone or iPad.  Interestingly, iMac mail account always shows messages as unread.

    sorry the part. number is PT324U-008003.

  • What is the blue dot right next to the signal bars?

    I know E means Edge. 3G is 3G network. But what is the blue dot means?
    Also what is UMTS/HSDPA? When do I know I am using that connection?
    Thanks,

    GPRS = General Packet Radio Service (could be called 2.5G)

    UTMS = Universal Telecommunications Mobile System (commonly called 3G)
    HSDPA = High speed download Packet access (commonly called 3.5G)
    Thanks,
    The Blue dot is GPRS, the E is edge while 3G is 3G and HSDPA is the highest data speed, for some reason Apple do not show an icon when this is being used, some other manufacturers indicate when 3.5G is being used.

  • In Apple Mail, my new messages are coming in without the blue dot, as if the messages have already been read.  Why?  Has my computer been compromised?

    I did not use my laptop all day.  This evening, when I looked at my new e-mail from earlier today, only about 3 messages still had the blue dot, that shows on unread mail.  I watched new messages come in. One new one came in with the blue (unread) dot, then maybe when the next new message came in, the blue dot disappeared from the first message, but appeared on the new message.  The 2 subsequent e-mails came in without any blue dot.  I had not highlighted or opened any of those 4 new e-mails, or any of the previously delivered e-mails from today.  I cannot find anything in system preferences or in mail preferences that addresses this issue. Anyone know why this is happening?  Has my computer been breached or hacked?

    Ok, so even thought no one has answered, it appears that once I move mail to the "On My Mac" mailboxes, they no longer exist on the server (though they can be moved back there if desired).  Which means that I'm fine if I migrate my hosting to a new server, and redownload them, because the mail in "On My Mac" will be untouched.  The only thing I don't know about is the "Sent" mail, but I believe those also exist on the server, and therefore if I migrate them then the link relationships are maintained (no idea about the mail that is "On My Mac" that has links to "Sent" mail in the server, but I guess that isn't so important).
    As for keeping a completely syncronizable Mail application - the only way it appears I'd be able to do that is to forgo "On My Mac" entirely, and keep *all* mail on the server.  If I want to move mail into different folders, those folders would have to be Server folders created for that account, and hosted by that hosting company.  This actually doesn't seem like such a bad move, especially as we get further and further away from having only one device that we use to process Mail.
    Are there any disadvantages to *not* using the local "On My Mac" folders?  Are there any major advantages to using them?

  • What does the blue dot under some apps mean

    what does the blue dot under some apps on the ipad air 2 mean.  There are not dots under all the apps.

    They are indeed recently updated apps that have not been used since they were updated. As soon as you launch the app after updating, the blue dot will disappear.

  • How can I get the blue dot back that id's mail as unread?

    How can I get the blue dot back that id's unread mail?

    Yes We have an iMac with the same account.  They  have both worked fine for the year that we have owned an iPad.  I think I have solved the problem.  I went  into mail settings and turned off push.  Then I  reset the iPad.  Upon reopening, I turned  push on again.  At least for the last 15 minutes, I have a blue dot bt new mail.  Many thanks for taking the time to help me, Matthew.

  • What do the blue dots beside the addresses used in the messages address  and how did they get there?

    What do the blue dots next to the addresses in the address book used to address (TO) someone mean and how did they get there.  I unsuccessfully tried to use an email address, the message address line kept giving me a red "hand slap"with an ! Point.

    The blue dots mean the addressee has a device capable of using iMessage.
    Try using the phone number instead of the email address to send the message.

  • How do you remove the blue dot from next to the podcasts.

    How do you remove the blue dot from next to the podcasts. I listen to 100s of podcasts on my ipod so the blue dot does not leave itunes. I use the blue dot to identify which podcasts are new. It used to be easy to remove the blue dot just play the podcasts for a second in more recent versions of itunes it is harder one has to play it for longer and half the dot is left. How do I select a dozen podcasts and mark them as used. I mean remove the blue dot.

    Hi,
    To Mark as Watched Right Click on the Podcast...
    To Select more than One Podcast... Shift Click...

  • Why don't the blue dots appear on open prgrams in the dock?

    There's a blue dot on the finder icon in the dock but the dot doesn't show up under any other icons. Thanks

    Don't know, but suggest you move the com.apple.dock.plist file in your user's /Library/Preferences/ folder to the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if that fixes things. If so, delete the moved file. If not, I'm out of ideas.

  • What does the Blue Dot signify ?

    When doing a search, I have an IP address (but no login details yet) and have added it and I see a Blue Dot in the first column.
    I can not find out what this signifies, can someone enlighten me ?
    Yes I did do a search in the forum - maybe with wrong criteria !
    Thanks

    So I have some kind of connection or "handshake" or it's just in the list and I may not be able to get to it at all ?

  • What does the half-blue dot symbol mean?

    I rip DVDs via HandBrake onto my MacBook desktop, and then drag it into my iTunes movie category.
    The movies in my iTunes have a blue dot symbol next to each one. Sometimes the blue dots are half blue/half white, while some are all blue. It is obviously an indicator of some type, but of what?
    Thanks

    All blue means you have not started watching it.
    Half blue means you have started but not finished it.
    No dot means you have watched it through to the end.

  • Application open on dock but missing blue dot

    Often my application is open but on the dock the blue dot, to show the application is open, is not displayed.  Right now, Safari, Mail and Acrobat don't show the icon and in Safari's case of course it is open and active because I'm typing this in right now.

    I have seen this myself,  and suspect it is a lion bug.
    You can try in terminal,  copy &paste:
    killall Dock
    and see if it brings it back.

    I would agree with Barney if the question had been an e-mail in the inbox but in the sent folder I still wonder why the blue dot. I also had this happen for the first time today 6/27/13. I resent both figuring it might mean the mail had not been sent properly.
    No, it means unread, had you opened the mail in the sent folder the blue dot would have gone away.
