Mail ALL marked as read

When I logged on today Mail took a loooog time to open as is was marking ALL messages in my In Box as "read". Why did this happen? Can I revert to the state it was in before this happened?

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.

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

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

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:

My Mail is marked as read

All of my mail (in Mail) is marked as read within a very short time of receiving it. This is obviously very frustrating. I have Mail on my iPhone, iPad, Mac desktop and laptop. My account is synced with Google (Gmail). I have looked through all the settings in Mail and Google and don't see how I can adjust this. The most recent things I have done that might have affected this is to cancel a Plaxo account and added an iPad to my collection. What can I do?

This is happening to me too on one e-mail account setup in mail (of seven). It's a OSX (mail) Server that is running the mail server in question. The Google apps e-mail accounts don't have this issue.
Edit: Just realized this was osx 10.7 - I am on 10.9.

Mail being marked as read automatically

I have iOS 6.1.4 on iPhone 5 and multiple mail accounts.
Gmail or Exchange - mail is being marked as read automatically even if I have not touched the mail. Not sure why this is happening but it is definitely an issue. I also beta tested version 7 beta 2 ios and it does the same thing.
with 5 minutes of the mail running on the iphone and no user intervention mail files are marked as read. The read is then synced to Gmail and Exchange accounts so you miss mail as all are marked as read.

I have stumbled across and answer to a similar question posted in 2012.
Search for :
How do I stop Mail auto-reading emails
It is not possible apparently.

E-Mail Not Marked as Read on Phone

Hello,
I have a 9650 with BIS on Sprint. I get my e-mail through OWA. When I open or mark as read an e-mail on my phone, my Outlook inbox on my desktop is updated accordingly. However, when I open an e-mail on my desktop, my inbox on my phone is not updated to show that the e-mail has been opened. I have to go in an mark as read all of the items, which is a royal pain.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks a lot.

Mail being marked as read after I have read it - iOS

I have an issue where mail is being marked as unread immediately after I've read it on my iPad (3rd Gen) and iPhone 5 both running latest iOS 7. Any ideas?
I can see the blue dot, then I open the mail, the dot disappears temporarily, then while the mail is still open and I'm reading it the blue dot comes back. Its happening with two accounts setup as IMAP on both my devices.
Could this be a problem with the server on the side of my mail client? For what it's worth I have the same two accounts setup on my MacBook Pro as IMAP and have no such issue.
Any help would be great!

This reply to is to correct the title of my question. It should read "Mail is being marked as UNREAD" after I have read it"

Mail all email as read

when configuring my gmail account, iphone downloaded all my existing email from the server. thats understanable since its a pop account, but is there a way for me to mark all messages as already read in the iphone, without doing it one by one ? there are thousands of them...

There is no way to mark all as read.
You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.

Mail question - Mark as read

Does anyone know if there's a way to just mark an email in the list as read - without opening it? Just curious, I haven't found a way yet.

I didn't think so, I had seen it in the documentation, then again, there are features coming with the rev updates which are harder to find documentation on.
Thanks, I appreciate it.

Why do the e-mails in my BT Yahoo inbox marked as read when the e-mail is delivered to my iPad mini?

Why do the e-mails in my BT Yahoo Mail inbox mark as "read" when the e-mail is delivered to my new iPad mini..?

Hi rowinator,
I assume, you've activated the thunderbirtd junk-filter? Or do you use your own filters?
May be there's another filter, executed afterwards, that marks the mail as junk? You can have a look into the filterlog.html in your TB folder, there you can see if one of your own filters caught this mails.

Mail, how to move and "mark as read" only copied mail?, Mail, how to move and "mark as read" only copied mail?

Hi, I need a help to make a folder-backup (using a limited-size Exchange mailbox ... )
Is there a way, using Rules/Filter for Mail to:
copy a mail to a specific folder
mark as read only the copied mail
If I write this rule, the mail is copied, but both mail are mark-as-read and I cannot find what I need to read.
Thanks.

But this marks the message as read also in Thunderbird.

Incoming unread mails are displayed as read messages;

Why are my emails being marked as read automatically?

I recently changed from iPhone 4 to 5; I never experienced any email issues with the iphone4. Now my emails on iphone5 ;same account etc) are sometimes marked as read before I view them. This happens every night over night without fail, and invariable happens during the day too (although not always- I can't yet see any pattern in this). It's extremely frustrating as I could rely on looking at my lock screen on iphone4 to see my recent unread emails; and I now cannot rely on this (and there's normally nothing there as its all marked as read in my inbox, before I've seen it! Then I have to check through each message to make sure I haven't missed something).
There are no other devices running to access this inbox; it is set up on my home laptop through outlook (as it was with iphone4); but this is only switched on about once a week just to download the messages.
Please does anyone have a solution to this very frustrating issue? I did not expect that by upgrading I would be worse off!

I have a macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

Mail 2.0.5 - all my messages are missing after marking as read!!!

Ok Mail has worked more or less fine for me after upgrading from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3..until a few minutes ago when I decided to mark all the unread messages in my inbox as read. I hadn't read quite a few, so instead of going and clicking on each one, I just selected all, right clicked, and chose Mark as Read. Suddenly they all disappeared, all but a few. I have two inboxes, one on my ISP, and one .mac. Disk Utility says the hard disk is fine, so I rebuilt both inboxes, and now my ISP inbox still just shows a few emails (appears to be the emails I've received since upgrading to Tiger, only a few days' worth), and my .mac inbox now shows about a years' worth of emails...but I know I have more than that, since I've had the .mac account for 2-3 years or so. Also next to the .mac inbox there is some sort of a progress icon (a pie gradually filling in). If I hover the mouse over the .mac account, it says "Contents stored on server. Name on server: INBOX". Which doesn't make sense, since I have always had Mail download the mail from both my accounts, deleting from server after downloading. If I get info on my ISP inbox, it displays "Account Info", and under the Show Messages on POP server, it shows a bunch of messages from about a year ago. But if I pulldown the menu and instead of showing "all messages on POP server" I choose either of the other options ("items downloaded to my Mac" or "items removed from my Mac"), the list is exactly the same.
My mail appears to be still on my hard drive, since getting info on the various mailbox folders in ~/Library/Mail/ shows about the right amounts of data. I don't want to lose over 300MB (at least 5 years worth) of email....anyone know what could have happened, and more importantly how to fix it?? Thanks!

Ok after thoroughly searching previous threads about similar problems (existing messages not being displayed by Mail 2.x.x), it appears the 10.4 Archive and Install didn't completely convert the mbox file from my ISP email, since there were only a few emlx files (but there are hundreds of emails in the mbox)...so I had to resort to reimporting it manually. Not sure what happened though to make Mail see all the messages for a few days after installing 10.4.3; there was no error message during the system install, and all I did that prompted all my messages to disappear was to mark all as read...
As far as the .mac goes, I have no clue where those emails went...I discovered that somewhere along the line my mbox file for .mac account got corrupt...but nothing over a year old is even on the server, which is odd. Those messages apparently are forever lost. Add me to the statistics of why it's important to back up. :/
