Iphone 3g 2.2 mail (mobileme) not updating unread count

hello. i have an iphone and recently updated to 2.2 (not sure if this has anything to do with it) and have a mobileme account.
push works fine, and if i mark a message as read on the iphone (i.e. read it), it updates the mobileme web interface OK. but if i change the unread status on the web interface it doesn't update the iphone mail count.
the only way to update it is to keep opening and running the mail app - which seems pointless. I have set up to fetch every 15 mins and yet even after waiting an hour it still doesn't update the count to match the web interface!
I am obviously doing something wrong, can anyone help me please?

I've found deleting and reinstalling the account in Mail.app and on the iPhone helps. Now when I read on the iPhone it updates very quickly on the desktop. But when I read on the desktop it doesn't update quickly on the iPhone. But it will if I launch the mobilemail.app.
Previously no amount of launching would help update the unread count on either application. So, I've gotten over half-way there.

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.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

My iPhone 5 native weather app will not update locally

I have an iPhone 5 my local weather will not update via the default native weather app!!! Now If I enable wi-fi it will update via my home network. However, once I turn off wi-fi it will not update my local weather BUT GUESS WHAT CUPERTINO WILL UPDATE EVERY TIME!!!
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi PLEASE!!!!

Location Services enabled in general, and in particular for the Weather app? Mine needed that in order to discover where I live, but having done that and establishing said location as its home, will update thru whatever it finds up, Wi-Fi or cellular.
However and after participating in several other threads regarding Weather, it would seem that different buyers get a different Weather app instead of a single standard one, maybe depending upon carrier whim. Mine's main screen looks like this:

My mail is not updating like on my iOS device

My mail is not updating like how it is constantly doing on my iphone

You have to open Mail. The reason is unknown now, but Apple can add it in an update soon

TS4083 Is that behavior has changed along ios8 ? Or still you need to launch mail app to update unread emails ?

Is that behavior has changed along ios8 ? Or still you need to launch mail app to update unread emails ?

I've found out that this is by design.
Email Application offer push-notification, but read action is not populated to the Cloud.
So Mail app needed to be opened manually each time you want to refresh it status ...
That is not a good information...
As far as I remember, google had that work quite long ago properly (of course on iOS and inside Mail.app)

Exchange mail does not update

I've update my mac to 10.8.3, but the exchange 2007 mail does not correctly update. I have to close mail and restart it, then the emails wil update.
Does anyone have this problem as well?

Bump.
Same continuing problem.
The simplest solution is to delete the mailbox and reinstall.
Not ideal.
It will be correct in knowing which emails are read or not, but it just doesn't remove emails on the N8 that have been deleted on the web page on the laptop.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for all your help it's just unfortunate where that linebreak fell in the tutorial!
missing space:
... --mandir=/usr/share/man--sysconfdir=/private/etc/spam/clamav/new ...
should be:
... --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/private/etc/spam/clamav/new ...
Issuing the previously mentioned commands now gives;
sudo ps U clamav

sudo launchctl list | grep clam

Freshclam.log is now showing the correct version but clamav.log and amavis.log still haven't changed.
You mentioned something about amavisd.conf is this why they logs are not updating and if so how do amavisd to log in the right place?
Thanks,
John

My mail will not update

I just updated my Hotmail account to the new Microsoft outlook but now looks like my Mac's application on my Mac will not update, and then it keeps asking me for my password than I type it in correctly and it says it's incorrect please try again when I go on the Internet it lets me in me and wants happening

are the ports and encryption type set acording to the mail provider?
if no test if it works with wifi because if it does then your carrier are blocking the ports required for receiving imap mail from the mail provider in question

IPad is tethered to iPhone. Internet and mail will not open

My iPad is successfully tethered to my iPhone. I have been reading mail and surfing the internet on the tethered iPad for weeks. Nothing has changed about my Verizon coverage. Suddenly the Internet and mail will not open on the iPad.
Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try resetting the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect the iPad's WiFi.

Mail box not updating inbox

I have gmail set as my mail preference in mail and it's not updating the inbox. I'm wondering if and how I can reset the gmail account. Can someone also tell me if what's the purpose of recovery folder. It is full of the same message over and over.
Thanks

If you mean you want to rebuild your mailbox, that's at the bottom of the Mailbox menu. If you mean you want to delete and reconfigure your Gmail account, that's in Mail>Preferences>Accounts. As for your Recovery folder, I've never seen that on my Mail, but it sounds like your Mail tried to salvage a corrupted message.

Mail is not updating

My icloud mail account is not updating on my desktop

Try deleting the mail account and re add it.

Apple Mail is not updating mail automatically on my Imac.

Before I updated to Maverick, Mail would update every time I woke it up by touching the mouse or any key. Now since updating, I must click on the envelope button to get my new mail. Why?
Also just recently my Magic Mouse won't scroll on the Mail page. I have to use Arrow Keys to go from one email to the next week. It works properly on all other areas.
Help!

yes it is. I just rebooted and that fixed the mouse issue. I will see what happens with mail. It updates as long as I am on the computer it is just when it comes out of sleep mode.

IOS not updating play count. What's up with that?

The play count on iTunes does not seem to be functioning correctly. Anybody else experiencing this or have some suggestions on how to fix this?
The play count updates fine but only when I am playing it directly from my computer or streaming it with "Home Sharing". When I listen to a song on my iPhone 5s, iPad 3, or iPhone 4 (had it laying around so used it as a test) it does not increase the play count on my computer once I sync the device. I always make sure that I am running the most up to date software so that is not the problem.
I'm running:
iTunes:        11.1.5
iPhone 5s:   7.1
iPad 2:         7.1
iPhone 4:     7.0 (only device not completely up to date)
This has become a bit frustrating for me.
Has anybody else experience this or know how to solve it?
Thanks,
Michael

Way late replying to this, but I've found the syncing of play counts to be very unreliable. It does sometimes happen - as best I can tell, what makes a difference is syncing twice. The first time often doesn't do much; the second time syncs information over.
Details: I don't have iTunes Match turned on; I only sync manually, with a cable. I turned off wireless sync a couple of years ago because it seemed to be even more flaky.
