IOS 4 And Marking All E-Mail as Read

Hello,
Does anyone know if the "Mark all E-mail as Read" feature is going to make its way into iOS 4 / iPhone 4? I keep trying to find a full list of features for iOS 4, but all I see is buttons that say "learn more" and point at the same page which says the mail client was updated to support new exchange server, threading, and MORE FEATURES, which I can't find explained anywhere.
The only way I'll consider buying an iPhone is if I can mark all e-mail as read within 1-3 taps. Thus far, I can't find any indication that this is actually the case.
Thanks.

errr no...it is not a trivial issue, it is a real one.
I get 100-150 emails today, including a lot of spam which is a never ending task to control. I like to be able to scan email subject lines, choose the mails I want to look at, and then mark all as read. The Blackberry has a feature to do this with 2 clicks.
I have just got my first iphone, the iphone4, and am absolutely lost for words that there is no "mark all mail as read" function.
Telling folks to move from POP3 to IMAP is complete tosh. I mention this, as this appears to be a stock answer on some other forums. Why should you have to change your mail accounts /set up forwarding etc., just because you have changed phones?
Come on apple, less of the BS fluff apps. Give us proper control over our email please ! Unbelievable.

Mark all email msgs as read?

Has anyone found a way to mark all messages in a particular mailbox as read? So far, I have to go through them one at a time.

Same here! I had to go through 248 e-mails from four different accounts and select them one by one. Also, there's no way to mark an e-mail as read without opening it first. It might be nice if Apple gives us that option in a future software update... cause there'll be future software updates, right?

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"?
To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

Communication Channel marked all files as being read on FTP

The Mailbox FTP has all the files flagged as being read when a single file is read through a communication channel. I manually unflagged the status field so all files had a status of N so none were pulled. I had 14 files for this test flagged as N.   I turned off all our CCu2019s. I activated one that was pulling the last file in the list based on the Service Ref# which is unique file name. I refreshed the dir of the FTP several times as the CC was running. One by one as the flag was changed to Y (file read) from top to bottom. It only took a second for each one until it got to three very large files and the status stopped while it was reading the file. After a minute it continued to change the flag until it read the last one.   All 14 files on the ftp now had the status flag changed to Y. It appears it actually read the file content one by one and set the flag until it was done. Do you have any ideas why it would do this? From a dos prompt I donu2019t have any of these issues so Iu2019m guessing itu2019s something unique in the SAP FTP adapter that is doing it?
From a dos prompt I can successfully do a get 003520827870964903 c:data.txt and it will only update that ST flag for that one file as being read. I can also do a get %EDT39A22%W_Z1JI4960 c:data.txt and it will only flag the four files as being read that have that Mailbox/APRF value. Now I'm trying to get my CC to do the same but no matter what I try it marks all six files as being read.   I have in my source directory %EDT39A22%W_Z1JI4960 and * for a file name and this will mark all files as being read when activated.   I have entered 003520827870964903 for a file name to further qualify and it still marks all files as being read. It seems to be getting the file I want cause when I view the communication channel monitor it shows the right data in the payload but it always refers to another file for the archive / delete / test option from the processing tab. There are no problems having a CC write a file out using similar parms for Mailbox/APRF, but trying to read a single file using the Service Ref # or a collection of files using a Mailbox/APRF mask seem to update the status for all files as being read. Any suggestions are welcome.

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.

After upgrading my iPhone to new 5.1 iOS, and reloading all of my files back in , my music appears to be in the phone, but when I press play, the music does not play, even though the pause button is now lit.

After 6 hrs. Of upgrading to 5.1 iOS , and reloading all data my music will not play. The music was reloaded from iCloud, and shows up in library, but will not play.

Basics from the manual are restrt, reset, restore.
Have you tried each of these?

Marking all email inbox as read

Is anybody getting tired of reading email on their IMac and then spending the rest of the day marking the same mail on their iPad and iPhone as read by opening each and every individual email? I hope I'm missing something.

You should be able to log out of the old version of the account on your iPad by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version - if the account is greyed out there then do you currently have Settings > General > Restrictions > Accounts (under the 'Allow Changes heading') set to 'Don't Allow Changes' ?

Mark POP e-mail as read when read on the server

So, when an e-mail gets marked as read on the Yahoo server, it automatically gets marked as read on my Palm Pre. (And, of course, the same is true for e-mails on the Exchange Server, but I recognize that that is a plainly different situation.) So, if that is possible with Yahoo e-mail, why doesn't that same thing happen with POP mail from other sources? The account settings for the POP account allow me to set it to delete messages off of the phone when they are deleted from the server, so clearly the device is capable of monitoring the status of e-mails that have already been downloaded. As such, why can't it also monitor the read/unread status, and update that when it changes on the server? This is very frustrating to me, and it is made all that much worse because there is no way to deal with (delete, mark as read) multiple e-mails at once.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Yeah, I can appreciate the format differences, but that explanation seems to be a bit problematic in light of one of the settings I am able to select on POP accounts. The account settings for any POP account allow me to set it to delete messages off of the phone when they are deleted from the server. So, obviously the Pre is able to monitor e-mails that have already been downloaded to see what has happened to them on the server end. Of course, the Pre also knows not to download messages that it has already downloaded once before. I may be wrong, but it sure seems to me that if a mail client can figure out if a message has already been downloaded or not, and can further monitor if it has been deleted from the server, then it should be able to monitor the read/unread status as well. If not, then whoever designed the POP protocol seems to have left out an obvious feature while allowing others that were very similar.
In any event, this whole thing wouldn't really be much of a problem if I could simply select multiple e-mails at once on the Pre and mark them all as read or delete them all as a group, instead of having to deal with e-mails in an agonizing one at a time fashion. Palm? You out there? Users could do this on your older products, and I see a lot of users complaining about it with the WebOS, so where's this fix?

How can I reinstall my mail accounts and get all my mails back?

My internal HD died a few days ago . Fortunately I did a Time Machine backup a couple of hours before it happened .
Now my MacBook Pro is back from the repair center, with a brand new HD and Mac OS 10.6.8 installed (the system I had) .
But how can I get all my mails back? Indeed I used Mail to manage many mail accounts, and some of the inboxes or local mailboxes contain messages that are a few months if not years old. I coud reconfigure my accounts, but then I only get the mails of the last few weeks downloaded (those that were not erased from the pop3-server). Is there a possibility to get all the mails (including outbox) as it was before the crash?
By the way, I'm also still looking for my address book and my iCal calendars !!
Thanks for help.

I have a MacBook Air, bought in 2010 or 2011. It is running OS 10.6.8.
I have an iMac that is the same age as my MacBook Air. My iPhone is 2nd or 3rd generation.
None can support "the Cloud". I use gmail and my iPhone and both computers are all synced.
I can't get email on my new iPad that does use "The Cloud".
Please help.

Two questions: chmod and restore all of mail

What must I type on the command line to make all files readable by anyone on my time machine external disk?
I tried chmod 777 /volumes/2 TB
(2 TB is the name of the drive)
and how may I restore from a few days ago all my mail, i.e. the application, preferences, and mail boxes (and their contents). At the moment I can only view them as system admin. i.e. root.
bc

If you perform any such commands on your Time Machine volume it is unlikely you will ever be able to restore from it. You will have to use system admin to restore any applications. They may or may not work. You can copy the other documents to your machine in a place like /Users/Shared. Then, as a standard user, you can copy the file to where they need to be. The copy operation will set the ownership. Hopefully it will work. When you are all done, you should erase your Time Machine and start a new one.

HT204266 I've just updated iOS and restored all my apps. But the games I bought have disappeared off my phone. How do I restore them

I just updated to iOS 5 and restored all my apps but the games I bought have disappeared off my iPhone and don't apear in iTunes on my computer. How do I restore them?

Download them again from the App Store. As long as you're signed in from the same account, you won't be charged again.
Best of luck.

Can the iPhone only pull inbox mail and not all unread mail?

Yahoo correctly filters my mail into inbox and spam. The iPhone pulls ALL unread mail rather than just that from the inbox. Anyway to fix this?

What is unread except for what is in your Inbox mailbox?
Are you accessing a free Yahoo account with the iPhone's Mail client, and did you use the Yahoo account preset when creating your Yahoo account?
If so, the Yahoo account preset on an iPhone creates the account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail client. With an IMAP account, the email client used to access the account keeps all server stored mailboxes for the account synchronized with the server. All messages received by the account, and available in the account's Inbox mailbox on the server, will be available in the account's Inbox mailbox with the iPhone's Mail client - which keeps the mailbox synchronized with the server. If spam is received at the server and is available in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server, the same messages will be available in the account's Inbox mailbox with the iPhone's Mail client. This is how an IMAP account works.
With a POP account, any messages that remain in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server will be downloaded when accessing the account with a new email client, and will be shown as unread when downloaded by a new email client used to access the account. This is also normal for a POP account when accessing the account with a new email client.
The iPhone's Mail client does not included a spam filter. Even if it did, new messages received at the server and available in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server will be downloaded - spam and all - which is the same for any email client.

I just upgraded my iPhone4 iOs and lost ALL Phone Contacts! How can I get them back?

HELP! I've been using my iPhone consistently for ALL phone numbers, since I have serious memory problems due to fibromyalgia. I upgraded my phone last night finally, having moved my photos out of it I had the space to download and install the upgrade.
I got a nasty shock this morning when I tried to make a routine call and found ALL of my phone contacts missing. They don't seem to be either in the cloud or in the phone. What happened? It said it was storing them in the cloud but they're all gone! How can I get them back?
IF this normally happens, why should I ever upgrade? Seriously! I didn't think to copy all of it out manually before upgrading, I'd upgraded once before without any problems. Addresses and other details gone too. I've got four numbers in "Favorites" but no context for them beyond location by state. I don't even know who they are - can't recognize just the numbers.

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

Mail-marking all messages that I read as replied, even though I have not replied.

Everytime I read a message, it shows the replied icon on that message. When I click on the replied icon, it says that it cannot find my reply, and that I must have deleted it. I haven't replied at all, so I want those icons to go away. Has anyone had this problem or does anyone have a solution?

you're the first case of this I've heard about. Please don't get upset because i am only asking these question to deduce any issues.
Having said that:
what computer model are you on,
what email client are you using with mail? (MSN, gmail, icloud, what?)
if you create a new user account in system preferenes, users and groups and try mail through there, does it still happen?
ultimately I think you should send feedback to Apple about your particular situation. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Because this is the first time I'm reading about this.
you may need to reinastall lion throught the recovery partition.
