Iphone not marking emails as read after opening in outlook/gmail

Hi,
After opening emails in gmail & outlook, they are not marked as read on my iphone 4. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Thanks

Check the account settings with Outlook which should reveal how you created and are accessing the account with Outlook.
If you used the Gmail account preset when creating the account with the iPhone's Mail app, the account was created as an IMAP account.

Mail will not mark messages as read after being opened

Mail will not mark messages as read after being opened... the blue dot will NOT go away, no matter how many times I open the e-mail.
It's a simple pop account. I AM able to mark messages read with the message menu item (mark as read.) I also have nothing synced with it, no iPhone, no IMAP accounts, no .mac account, nothing.
But this is a real pain to have to do manually, when it used to happen automatically upon clicking the e-mail, it opening in a window to read, and then closing it.
All was working fine up until the 10.5.7 update. I hoped the 10.5.8 update would fix the problem, but no change. Everything else is working perfectly (I do the permissions repair/disk verify procedure before and after each update.)
Can't seem to find anyone else with this problem in here either, through search or just going through hundreds of messages.

Okay, then lets try this:
1. Select all your messages in the Inbox; then use the contextual menu or the Message > Mark menu to mark them all as Read.
2. Quit Mail.
3. Go to Home/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file.
4. Restart Mail, wait for the index to rebuild and retrieve any new email you might have, and see if the problem contineus. Hopefully it will not.

Apple Mail not marking mail as read after being read on iPhone

I'm currently using my Gmail account (IMAP) on both Apple Mail and on my iPhone. When I read mail on my iPhone, Apple Mail doesn't change it read mail, even after several hours, but it is changed on the server. How do I change it so that it syncs mail status?

How to mark all emails as read after syncing?

hey folks,
i just synced my new iphone 3gs with my mbp and so far everything is fine except that all my mails from all my accounts (3x pop and 4x imap) are marked as "unread".
is there any smooth way to set all (~6000) mails as read? i was kinda dissapointed that the syncing was unable to get that information out of mail on its own..
hope anybody can help me here.
thanks in advance

No, there's no global 'mark as read' option.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
For IMAP accounts, though, if the mail was read elsewhere, it should not be marked as new mail on the phone. This is the case for my IMAP and Exchange accounts - if I read the mail in Outlook or another mail client, the new mail mark is gone from the iPhone after the next mail sync. For POP, that won't be the case, since POP mail 'lives' on the client it's always going to be new to the iPhone even if already read in another client.

Message filter to mark email as read does not work.

I have set up a message rule to first mark the message read and then move to a folder. Thunderbird moves the message to the correct folder, but it is still marked as unread. I'm using Thunderbird for Windows and I'm using Windows 7. Also, Thunderbird is up to date. Thanks.

I have the same issue!!!
Exchange 2010 SP3 fully patched.
If I read emails one by one, they show up as read on webmail/outlook. But if I use the Edit -> Mark All -> Mark as Read it will still show as unread in webmail/outlook
I wonder if the IOS command that is used to mark all as read is not compatible to Exchange?

My ipad mini marks emails as read and groups emails together

Hi -
Happy New Year to you all!
I have just bought an Ipad Mini 2 which I love, however I have an issue which hopefully can be solved.
On my iPhone, I can open my emails, email by email and actually have to click on an email for it to be displayed and marked as read.
On my ipad, it previews the emails to the right of the screen and marks the email as read...
Can this be altered as I risk not seeing an email with it not being unread.
Also, when I click on an email, it groups all emails together with the same subject, i.e. subject title 'Hi' will group all 'Hi's' together.
Is there a way of switching this off also?
Thank you for all of your help.
Ben

when I click on an email, it groups all emails together with the same subject, i.e. subject title 'Hi' will group all 'Hi's' together.

Turn off "Organise by Thread" (on the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" page of the Settings app,) to prevent this.

IPad doesn't mark email as 'read'

Hi,
So, I have 3 devices on which I can read my emails: A Macbook Pro, mid-2010 15", an iPhone 5s and a iPad 2.
When I receive emails on my macbook, there are some rules that filter out the spam emails. The rest I read and save to icloud folders or delete.
But, when having done this on my macbook and returning to my iPad, the iPad still sees every email as 'new'.
That and a break from using my ipad has now caused my ipad mail having around 500 emails... But all of those emails have been read and handled on my mac.
My iphone only has the icloud account configured, but that's working fine. (I have multiple email adresses, from gmail, hotmail and exchange)
How can I get my iPad to sync properly? Because handling all those emails twice is very annoying and time-consuming...

I'm having the same issue, only with my school email powered by Gmail. I had it working fine as a POP account but wanted to switch to IMAP after Gmail was updated. Now, every time a new message comes in, it stays marked as Unread, regardless of what I try to do. I've marked it as read on the server using Webmail, but still no luck. I then deleted the account and created it again. Now the message shows up as read. So, I sent a test email to see if the problem still persists, and it does. Seems any messages that were unread on the server as of creating the mailbox as well as any new messages subsequent are effected. This is becoming very annoying. On top of that, I can't even delete these messages. I get an error stating:
"The Account path /Users/xxxxxxxx/Library/Mail/[email protected]@imap.gmail.com is not writable. Please chage the Account Directory field in the Account Options tab to a writable directory."
I cannot find any such Options tab inside Apple Mail. Can anyone think or suggest a remedy for this?

Bridge does not mark thumbnails with icon after file has been worked.

I use Windows Vista and process photo files in Bridge using the latest Camera Raw plug-in and Photoshop CS2. Bridge does not mark each thumbnail with a icon as it should after processing. I use the same PS program on another computer using Windows XP and Bridge does mark each thumbnail with an icon. Why will Bridge not mark each thumbnail with an icon as stated in the PS manual on my Vista computer?

I use Vista and CS3, Bridge marks my RAW files when changes are made. Check to see if you have different settings in Bridge between the 2 computers. PS is not supported by Vista Basic.

Iphone not getting detected by itunes after upgrade to 10.5

Hey guys,
Last night after the release of 10.5 itunes, my iphone is not detected in itunes. I dont know what's the problem, I am on Windows 7 and It's able to detect my iphone just as a camera. I've tried using it on my friends laptop running windows vista, there i'm able to detect my iphone but no on my comp.
I've tried starting services from Administration i.e. apple mobile and ipod services.
But i'm not able to find any solution to it. Do let me know guys if any one of you is facing this problem with me and does anyone has the solution to it?
Thanks alot guys,

I am having the same problem although I think mine is probably worse than yours. My iphone was detected by itunes both after i updated it to iOS 5.01 and after i jailbroke it. I then downloaded a few cydia apps and it would no longer detect my camera folder on my computer...so I said screw it I'll start over. So I deleted all the cydia apps/tweaks I downloaded and then I was able to see my camera folder again.
BUT WAIT now itunes wont detect my iphone. I tried redownloading all my tweaks and apps but I still get nothing. I tried reinstalling cydia but still nothing. I tried connecting my iphone to another computer with a fresh copy of itunes and still nothing. This is REALLY bad since now I can't even restore my iphone. PLEASE HELP!

IPhone Not Deleting Emails

Hi, my iPhone won't delete emails. It just says "unable to delete message to the trash folder" or something like that. It is a iPhone 3GS 32gb. The email servers are IMAP and .POP and there are 2 IMAP and 1 POP. any help greatly appreicated.
Thanks

You're welcome.
Unless your email account provider supports both, you must switch to another email account provider.
Apple's .Mac account can be accessed as a POP or IMAP account with any email client but is not free and not worth it unless you have a Mac.
Gmail recently began supporting IMAP account access. You can now access a Gmail account as a POP or IMAP account with an email client on your computer as well as with the iPhone's email client, it has an authenticated SMTP server which provides for being able to send messages with the account regardless how you are connected to the internet with your iPhone or with your computer, has a good spam filter on the server and is free.

Iphone not receving emails from specific sender

Hi all,
not sure whether this is an iphone issue or email issue, but had to start somewhere.
I am using a mail.live (outlook) email account. I've notced that recently (since iOS update??) that I no longer receive emails on my iPhone from one particular sender.
If I log into same account via computer (PC or Mac) all the eamils from that sender are sitting in the inbox.
I still receive emails from other contacts that use the same email client server as the one that I'm having issues with.
Any ideas?
Cheers

I have junk folder disabled, and I even created a rule now that is supposed to redirect any mails from the sender to my inbox, but still no luck
By the way, the sender I'm not receiving emails from is called Jagex, a games company.

How to prevent DroidX eMail from marking eMail 'delivered' (???). Outlook doesn't get those eMails!

Hi all,
I miss incoming emails in Outlook whenever my DroidX has them deliverd first.
It looks like it's marking them somehow and then when Outlook checks it finds no 'new' eMails...
Not good...
Solution anyone?
Tjip

I believe this should only happen if you read the message on your Droid X before opening Outlook on pc, Outlook should check for unread emails everytime it is opened, if the message was just delivered but not read Outlook should still alert you when it is opened. If you read email on device you can mark message as unread and outlook should notify of new message again.

Marking emails as read on BB, not reflected in Outlook

We use OWA for our BB's, and whilst (however annoying it is) we have accepted that the BB won't realise that you have read an email in Outlook (2003 / 2007), is there a way to ensure that when an email has been marked as unread on the BB, that is also DOES the same in Outlook?
Third party app maybe?

Hi!
Like BIS, OWA and Outlook are conduits -- what is the actual server? Is it Exchange? What version?
If you have Exchange and OWA and your OWA reflects the read/unread status, then BIS indeed recognizes and synchronizes those. See this article concerning reconciliation features of BIS with various email servers.
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB05133&slic...
You also must wait for the BIS reconciliation cycle. It will not be instant. While I can't recall it documented, something like 15 minute intervals are what my brain is trying to tell me...but that's not a guarantee.
Oh, and you must have, on the BB, OTA reconciliation turned on.
Those are my thoughts...but it sounds like you have a configuation problem rather than needing a 3rd party app.
