Items wont get marked as 'Read' in Outlook

The problem I have is that when I read an email on my Iphone it continues to appears as 'Unread' on Outlook.
So at the moment I have 24 unread emails in Outlook dating back to the 12 of May and only 9 unread emails on my Iphone.
My Iphone is set to sync the last month of emails in my inbox and I have an email from last Thursday I definitely read on my Iphone (and appears as unread) which appears as 'Unread' in my Outlook despite having a full 3G signal and the WiFi is switched off as well.
Anybody seen this before or can suggest a fix?
Thanks
David

How can I stop emails pushed to the Curve from getting marked as "Read" in Outlook!

I get 100 or so emails a day, and get them bolded in Outlook until I read them. In two of my three email accounts, the emails remain bolded in Outlook even after being pushed to the Curve. In the third, which runs through my work server, all emails come in unbolded as if they're already read.
This is confusing me and making it hard to go back and pick up important emails (and delete others). Anyone got any ideas of how to fix this in my email set-up on the Curve?
Thanks much.

your other two email accounts, which type are they? MSN, Hotmail, Yahoo, or Gmail or another provider? I have one of each of these and i have mine setup as delete on mailbox and server, wireless reconcile on and on conflict mailbox wins, so when i see these emails on my computer, they are already read and if deleted( yahoo and gmail) will be deleted on the server, the msn and hotmail just stay as read but not deleted.

Messages delivered to iPhone 4s are marked as read in outlook

I just got my iPhone working with Outlook. When messages are delivered to my iPhone they are automatically marked as read in Outlook. This happens even before I open a message on my iPhone. Is there a setting that will allow me to keep messages marked as unread until I read them in Outlook?

If it is an Exchange account or an IMAP account, read/unread marks synchronize with the server and all clients set up to access it via IMAP or Exchange protocols. If one or more of the clients is using POP3, then unread marks do not synchronize. Same goes for the ability to see and file to folders.

Unread emails on iOS marked as read on outlook 2013 laptop

Hello,
We are having a bit of a problem with outlook. we are using exchange server (Office 365 Business Premium). we are using iphone 5 and if we leave some emails unread on our phone's we see it marked as read once we check
our laptop using outlook.
hope you can help us. thanks.

Hi,
I am using Exchange 2010 server and iPhone 5, the same behavior as yours.
And I refresh the emails in iPhone 5 manually, the unreaded email becomes read.
I think it need some times to sync the changes.
If the status not changed after refreshing manually, I suggest use Windows Phone for test if it is convenient.
If it works in Windows Phone, I suggest asking iPhone support for help so that we can get more professional suggestions.
If it doesn't work in Windows Phone, since Office 365 is different from Exchange 2013 server, I suggest asking Office 365 Forum for help. For your convenience:

Mail with Gmail IMAP: All mail getting marked as read

So other than being painfully slow, and just plain irritating, I have one huge problem with Mail (Tiger) and Gmail IMAP. All incoming mail is marked as read. The mail downloads, gets sorted into folders by the various rules, but the folders never show up with a number showing new messages. I have missed so many emails lately, I think I will have to go back to POP...or add a line to every single rule saying "mark as unread".
Is there a simple solution to this problem I am overlooking?
Thanks...Sam

Yeah, the stupid part is that all SPAM comes marked as unread. So I get to see that I have spam, just not legitimate mail. Ugh.

Why don't my iMessages get marked as read on other devices?

It used to be the case that when I got an iMessage, if I read the message on one device (like my phone), it would be marked as read on my iPad, and the banner and notification would disappear (usually instantly). One day, that feature just stopped working, and a message I read on my iPhone will stay 'unread' on my iPad (and my Mac), unless I go into the messages app on one of those devices. I'm not sure if this is just a problem I'm experiencing, of if this is something that Apple changed..

Well, this has started happening to me very recently too. Could be a coincidence, but its at least interesting to know its not isolated.
Its a difficult one, as I dont seem to be able to recreate it when I test it (if I send a message to myself from my wifes iPad just after the problem has shown itself, it doesnt happen again). Its almost like iMessage has fallen asleep / disconnected somehow from syncing but reconnects for a while.
Im going to try the following:
1) forcebly closing iMessages on all iMessage devices (from the app switcher on iOS)
2) Turning off iMessage altogether on each device, then enabling it again (Settings > Messages > iMessage)
Interestingly after disabling iMessage on all my devices, when I try to send myself a message, it doesn't fail (at least not very quickly, I waited 15 minutes), it just doesnt show delivered or read.
After enabling iMessage again, the message I sent while it was off, still hasn't been received or failed (its been 5 mins). I'll see how it goes when I get a few more cross device messages.

When I read email on iPhone, I want it to be marked as read in Outlook

I keep thinking I've found an answer on here, but to no avail, I cannot find a discussion that meets my needs.
Here's the deal. I have Yahoo on my iPhone, right? When I read an email in my Yahoo account on my iPhone, and later log into my Yahoo account, it shows those messages as read. Heck, I can even file my emails away in my folders, if I want to; i.e. move them over to my bills folder, or my purchases folder, or my mom folder. lol
Now, here's the deal with my other account tho. I have my work emails going to my iPhone too. At work, I use Outlook. I do not know a whole lot about how things are set up over here, but I have access to answers if you guys can help me find out the right questions to ask.
Here's my issue: When I read a work email on my iPhone, and I get to work the next morning, there it is, bold and unread. I really want it to show as read.
I get an obnoxious amount of work emails. The whole point in keeping up with them on my phone is to save me time in the long run. So, when I get to work and have to re-read them all, I've saved nothing.
Please help!
Also, it would be phenomenal if you could also help me find a way to toss work emails in folders I have set up on my Outlook, as well.

If it is an Exchange account or an IMAP account, read/unread marks synchronize with the server and all clients set up to access it via IMAP or Exchange protocols. If one or more of the clients is using POP3, then unread marks do not synchronize. Same goes for the ability to see and file to folders.

Email marked as read on outlook without actually reading

Hi,
When I get an email in outlook it shows as unread. Once the email is sent to my blackberry the status on outlook changes to read (even without me ever opening the email on outlook or the blackberry). How can I stop this? I did a lot of research but nothing resolved it. I called my wireless provider (verizon) and they said it must be an outlook setting but other people are telling me it's a known glitch with the blackberry.
Does anyone have a fix for this???
Thank You!

Use OWA (Outlook Web Access) Not POP3 Settings
Use OWA (Outlook Web Access) Not POP3 Settings
Use OWA (Outlook Web Access) Not POP3 Settings
Okay. This is doing this because your bb is not logging into the owa (outlook web access), it's using POP3. In order to use owa it must be enabled on your exchange server (ask your admin if you have this option). An owa address is something like https://mail.yourcompay.com/owa, depending how your admin set this up it could be named something else. You can either get to this option through your phone companys (BIS) website or on the bb itself.
If you use your phone companys website (BIS) to configure this option just log in and find the topic that reads something like this -
"How do I set up BlackBerry Internet E-mail using a My T-Mobile Account?"
This will give you the instruction for setting up the account for owa. (Took me a little bit to find this in my tmobile account.) During this setup there should be an option to check called use owa. You have completed the setup and never saw that option then start over and find that option.
If you go through the bb's setting on the actual device the way to get to this option is kind of strange (at least it was the only way I could figure out how to get to it on my phone).
I started by deleting the email account off the phone then added a new account. Go back to the account setting and change the password to a wrong password. After you select "ok" or "next" or whatever to get to the next screen you will get a message saying could not connect to server or error or something like that. Now you should have a option to configure the device manually. This option will get you to page to allow you to select OWA. Then just configure you bb for owa and you are good to go.
Sorry this is such a crude post. I usually take the time to give very accurate, step-by-step instructions, but I do not have time. Good luck to all with this issue.

ActiveSync Issues - Emails remain unread on iPhones after marked as read in OWA/Outlook

Environment:
Exchange 2010 SP2 CU4v2
iPhones with IOS 6.0+
Background:
We've spent a couple weeks troubleshooting this since the vast majority of our users are not experiencing the email synching issue with their mobile devices. However, we have a few users that are remote (international) saying that activesync is not properly
marking mail as read when initially interacting with it via OWA/Outlook.
The problem isn't regularly reproducable -- it's sporadic.
There are two issues really:
The mail icon indicates X number of unread messages, however when navigating into the mailbox on the phone, nothing is "unread" -- There is only one mailbox -- there is no confusion about unread mail being in a different account.
Mail marked as read in OWA/Outlook never gets marked as read in the mailbox on the iPhone.
Steps Taken:
We've had them remove/readd the activesync account on their device, which initially solves the problem only for it to resuface.
We've asked them to change their activesync settings between Push, Fetch, and Manual.
Messages marked as unread always remain unread unless manually opened on the phone. No additional amount of time marks the message as unread unless it is manually opened on the phone.
We've asked users to try interacting with mail through wifi on a reliable network instead of their cellular network. Same results.
We don't have any other mobile devices to compare to since everyone is using an iPhone. If only someone had windows mobile.
Our thoughts are that this is due to some sort of latency issue that activesync is unable to handle, since only these remote users are experiencing the issue. Using in-office wifi the latency between their device and the CAS server is ~250ms. Over cellular
networks.. unknown. I would think the activesync could handle this.
Are there any server-side settings that can be changed on the exchange servers that could mitigate these problems?

Im sure more knowledgeable members will chime in here, but I would say the issue is in ios 6.0 here. The way to test would be if users on previous verison of ios have the same issue. There are various discussions on apples forums regarding ios 6.0 and activesync/
exchange. Myself personally I have not updated to ios 6.0 and im still using 5.1.1 and Ive not had any exchange/activesync issues. Being a windows user you tend to hold off on major updates / SP releases until the rest of the masses have discovered the flaws.
Likewise i cant say im keen to jump to ios 6.0 just yet.
Good read here :

Out of interest what happens if you read the email/delete it from the phone ? does it show as being read within Microsoft Outlook ?

Email messages not being consistently marked as read (EAS)

I have Pre 1.3.5.1 and I noticed that on all versions of WebOS up to now that my email messages are not consistently marked as read after I read them on my Outlook account. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. It does *seem* that if I read newer messages that these tend to get synchronized to the Pre, but if I have a lot of messages and it takes me an hour or so to get to the bottom of the list, that some of these messages remain marked as unread on the Pre. I have my Pre set to synch every ten minutes.
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Are you giving it more than the 10 minutes to see if the messages get marked as read on the Pre? Try setting it to update "As items Arrive" just to see if it marks them faster.

QuickView: Don't mark as "Read".

Hi.
When using the quick view, each email is marked as read, even when you just scroll
through the emails, so that they aren't really read.
Is there a possibility to either configure "don't mark QuickView seen emails as
read"? Or to specify a time, they must be viewed in QuickView, before they get
marked as read?
Regards, Rudi.

All that leads is to random inconsistency - if they scrolled slowly and
the message was a line or two it would be marked as read.

Not automatically marking e-mail messages as read in outlook 2010

Our office has a user with an assistant set as a delegate in Outlook
(Exchange 2010 environment). Currently, if the assistant views an email in the
user's Mailbox, it is set to "Read" status, which can lead to confusion as to
which items have or have not been read by the mailbox owner. Is there a
setting (both users have Outlook 2010) that will stop items viewed
by the assistant from being set to "Read" status?
http://www.office-outlook.com/out.../m/514421/ suggests a way, but that means the assistant has to mark her e-mails read manually(Ctrl + Enter)
Is there a way, it can be done so that if the assistant(delegate) just goes to her manager's mail, it will be unread as long as she does not mark them read manually(Ctrl + Enter).
But, for her mailbox if the focus is on a message for five seconds, it is marked as read.
So, can the option to mark items as read be disabled for manager's mailbox, but not for the assistant? Does Exchange 2010 allow this?

I can set a per folder reading pane in Outlook 2013. Its a little weird, you have to sort of toggle it off and then reenable it again. I assume its the same for 2010, but I could be wrong. I have not tested it with a delegated mailbox however, you may have
to do the same thinng and toggle it back and forth.
Might be worth asking in the Outlook Forum to see if its even possible

Using Mail - items being marked as read before I have read them

Hi
How do I stop Mail marking an item as read as soon as I move the cursor away from it in the ail listing? Just because it is shown in the preview pane does not mean I have read it yet.
In Outlook I can change a setting so that items are not marked a s read until I double click them to open them fully and read them - how do I do the same in Mail?
Also if I delete an item from the list, the cursor moves UP to the previous item (I have ordered the list so that newest mail is at the top. I then start reading from the top down..). Can I change a setting somewhere to move the cursor the other way after processing an email?
Many thanks

The only way to have it not be marked as read is to turn the preview pane off (then you double-click each message to open/read it).

Outlook 2010 shared mailbox marked as read/unread issue

Hi Outlook Pro's,
We've got a weird issue on a shared e-mail account in exchange. 2 users accessing the shared account currently experience this issue whereas another one works fine and we're trying to determine the source of the problem.
When browsing the shared e-mail account's inbox, and opening an e-mail, the e-mail isn't marked as read in the inbox. This is a problem as other users viewing the same e-mail account can't see whether the e-mail is being serviced.
However, if we categorize the e-mail, it is marked as read/unread instantly. Or if we switch to the users personal inbox and back again it changes the read/unread status.
User services has tried the following:-
1. Changed Reading Pane options for when the mail item is marked as read.
2. Enabled the reading pane addon for Outlook.
3. Repairing the OST (clearing the exchange cache)
3. Switching the effected user to another computer, it's almost like the problem follows their profile.
The e-mail account is shared between 5 users, only 2 of which are experiencing this problem.
Is there anything else we can try on the user end?
What should we investigate in Exchange?

Analysed first according to your description.
1. Changed Reading Pane options for when the mail item is marked as read. - no option problem
2. Enabled the reading pane addon for Outlook. - What's add-ins in your site?
3. Repairing the OST (clearing the exchange cache) - Not the problem for data file itself
4. Switching the effected user to another computer, it's almost like the problem follows their profile. - Not the problem related the shared mailbox
5. The e-mail account is shared between 5 users, only 2 of which are experiencing this problem - conflict with the result of Point 4, it looks the local profile still be the doubt..
At this point, please try to run Outlook.exe with safe mode on those two problematic computers and avoid any add-ins interrupt. You may also use the switch command-line /cleanviews to check the result as well.
On other hand, please double confirm if the problematic computers' connection status vs. none-issue machines'. Using the cable connection with the same network speed? RPC/MAPI or RPC over http? etc... Any difference might be the cause.

Is it possible to flag e-mails and/or right click an e-mail to mark as read/unread, etc. when using Microsoft Outlook Web Access in Firefox on a Mac?

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I've never been able to figure out how to do those things in Firefox.

When you use OWA in something other than IE, you're using OWA lite and no--it is not possible to do either in OWA lite (well, new Exchange stuff makes my answer a little less emphatic but still: pretty much no). Thanks Microsoft. But this guy made it possible to mark unread/read and select all/none:
