Yes, you are correct. Unread messages are not highlighted.
The only option that exists is to make unread messages Bold.

Mail not displaying content of messages

When I open a message a spinning wheel and a text message saying "loading" is displayed. The message disappears but the body of the message is never displayed.
This is only with messages in my inbox that were downloaded today. Messages downloaded yesterday or messages filtered into mailboxes other than the inbox display as usual.
Messages that do not display in Mail on my MacBook Air open fine on my iPhone or Pad.

Tried that. Didn't work. After getting your response I tried the solution to my other problem with Mail--not downloading mail: I deleted the account then recreated it. The messages previously unreadable are now readable. Plus, all the message that didn't get downloaded today were downloaded.
When is Apple gonna get Mail straight? The problems are well known. Have been from the Yosemite upgrade.

Total unread mail count display

I believe the iPhone/ios 6.1.4 displays only the total number of unread emails in the top level of the inbox. But I have rules that move unread mail to multiple subfolders, and I'd love to be able to have a total count of unread items in the inbox and all subfolders. I use a smart mailbox to do this on the iMac, but the absence of smart mailboxes means that I'm often unaware of unread items in subfolders when I only have access to my iPhone and iPad. I'd appreciate any thoughts.

Fact is, the iOS mail app is not as sophisticated as the mail app on your Mac, & local rules are not synced to your phone. There is no fix.
All you can do is suggest an enhancement to Apple:

Mail not displaying most recent messages --1000 message capacity?

Sorry if this is a duplicate topic, I seached, but found nothing.
Here's my situation:
I have two email account on my iPhone. One is gmail, and one is my school email account. Before today, I have had no issues with mail at all, however, this morning when I go to check my school email, it showed me emails from last November as being the newest emails (and had correctely marked them as read). At the bottom of the list of emails, it said displaying "some number" out of 1000 messages. I have well over 1700 emails on this account so I do not understand why it was only counting up to 1000 of them all of the sudden, since I had passed the 1000 message barrier a long time ago.
After deleting tons of old emails, my phone then displayed messages from March of 2009, and still said "out of 1000" at the bottom. So, I logged onto my email and saw that I still had 1064 messages in the inbox. I then deleted more old messages until the inbox was at well under 900, and then all of the "missing" mail came through.
So, after my longwinded story, I guess I'm trying to ask why that happened, and if there is some email capacity I reached. I only have my phone display the last 50 messages, so I do not understand why it even matter how many messages are in the inbox.
Sorry if my wording is terrible... It's Friday and I'm tired.
thanks for any help!

I have the same problem and posted about it. So it's confirmed it's happening to more than 1 person. I also have 2 accounts setp up. Both are yahoo. One account is fine the other shows mail from 2 years ago as recent. I have over 2k messages in one folder and I can not delete them. They are work history. That's why I love the new yahoo cause it works like gmail and I can search that history now.
Anyway I need this fixed cause the inbox only shows about 10 new messages and then only shows like 6 months ago and older.
They have worked fine over the last month and now all the sudden I get up this morning and it went to crap..

Settings>Messages Send and Receive should only have the phone number and addresses checked that you want reaching that individual devices If your step-dads number and email are checked just tap them it will remove the check.

How can I display the read messages count and total size of a folder?

Extra Folder Columns 1.1.5 is not compatible with Thunderbird 31.3.0.

Log into your account and to the right of the phone photo you will see usage details in blue then on the next screen pick the phone on the account you want to see the details for and under that you can click to see eveyrthing in detail. Mary

Hi,
From your description, I recommend you use the Test-ServiceHealth cmdlet to check if all the Windows services that Exchange server requires have started. Especially Exchange Transport service and Mailbox transport service.
Hope it helps.

Mail read messages

I have my email account setup as IMAP on my iPhone and computer. Is there a way to set mail on my mac to display all read messages on my iPhone an unread?

I don't think so. Are you saying you want them to display as Unread on your computer if you open them on your iPhone?

HT3576 how to assigne a unique sound to a single incoming e mail address and have it aleart when in lock screen 4s Iphone 6.13

how to assign a unique sound to a single incoming e mail address and have it alert when in lock screen on 4s Iphone 6.1.3
I receive emergency requests for service thru e mails. my old BB let you assign separate sounds for incoming e mail addresses. can I duplicate that with Iphone or MUST I be woken with each and every incoming e mail?

I have email messages alert sounds turned off except for VIP addresses (of which I have only one). That means I only get alerted for that one address.
To add a Contacts entry to VIP senders in iPhone Mail:
Open your list of mailboxes in iPhone Mail.
Tap the > button next to VIP.
Select Add VIP… at the list's end.
Tap the desired entry from your contacts.
Then, in Notifications>Mail, turn off the souds for your email account but enable them for VIP.
Note that all VIP emails will have the same tone. It's more like the Priority feature on a BB than custom text tones.
Best of luck.

Some incoming mails are totally unreadable after installing 10.6

Some, about 20%, of incoming mails are totally unreadable gibberish after I installed Snow Leopard on my Desktop MacPro. The same mail reads fine on my MacBook Pro (also now running 10.6). An example of such a weird mail is here:
ha sa S 7 s i ssho sb s s as s osg s h s skowassi wo sMag ssi s Ma s
Oiga sM ssag ... and so on and on.
If I copy the unreadable message and paste it into TextEdit it converts to other unreadable characters and numbers. If copied into a MS Word doc it appears as perfectly readable text.
Has anybody seen something similar?

OK, I think I have found a workaround for the problem. It is indeed a font issue... (thank you, William Lloyd, to point me in that direction!)
If you get an unreadable message switch to "Reply" or "Forward" and you will be able to read the message (make sure your own mailbox font or message font - set under Preferences>Fonts - is anything except Courier or Chicago) and you will be able to read your mail. Select the message text and go to Format>Go Fonts and switch to several other fonts. As far as I can see all fonts work OK except Courier and Chicago. Obviously Courier is a popular mail font, so all mails written with it arrive garbled. If I use Courier or Chicago as my Message List font in the preference settings, all mail windows become unreadable!
When I write a text in "TextEdit" and switch to Courier or Chicago - it will become unreadable. Possibly this happens in other applications as well...
However - this only occurs on my desktop PowerMac, not on my MacBook, which makes this glitch especially puzzling. I have not yet tried to re-insall OS 10.6.

Display number of unread and read messages in mailboxes?

Hiya,
Can I get Mail to list the total messages in a mailbox in the column on the left? I have a smart-mailbox for "flagged" items and I'd like to be able to see how many things are in it, while I'm sorting things in my inbox.
There's an unanswered post here, "Display number of messages in mailboxes?" that's been archived. Is there an answer to this?
I suppose I could install Dockstar or Docktopus and try to customise Mail's dock icon. But I don't don't know if they can do "non-read" messages, and I keep the dock hidden normally. Can Mail do it easily for me, with your help?

The Dockstar folks were nice, but said they can't do this yet. Anybody else?

How do I get the red number of already read e-mails NOT to show up in the iMail icon on the dock? I only want the number of "unread" e-mails to display in red on the iMail icon.

Your last post is blank, which happens a lot to users who try accessing the forum through email rather than its web interface.

Yahoo mail, problem messages are marked as read

hi,
i am able to read the messages from yahoo mail using pop3, but even new messages are marked as read once retrieved through client code.
How to leave new messages as unread?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
-Satish.

As explained in the JavaMail FAQ, the POP3 protocol,
and thus the POP3 driver for JavaMail, does not
support any flags for messages.
I don't know what you mean when you say that new
messages are marked as read when retrieved by
client code. POP3 doesn't know what's new or what's
read. The Yahoo web interface might be assuming
that messages retrieved by a POP3 client have been
read, however. I don't know of any way to control
that.
