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.

It is not possible apparently.

  • 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"

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Messages not being marked as Read on IMAP account on iMac

    I use the Mail application on my iMac to read my Gmail. I have it set up as IMAP, and it has worked very well for a long time. Recently, however, I noticed that if I read my mail on my iPhone, or my work computer (both of which have the correct IMAP settings), the messages are not being marked as Read (unbolded) on my iMac. I have to quit and restart Mail for the messages to be unbolded.
    Not a big issue, but I wonder why it is happeneing, and how to correct it?

    I'm getting this too. Switching to a different folder and back gets rid of the blue dot. This only happens with my exchange account. All other accounts work normally.

  • I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

    I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
    At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

    Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.

  • 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?

    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:

  • 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.

  • All emails into my inbox are being marked as read whether they are or not.

    All emails coming into my email inbox are instantly being marked as read. This is happening whether or not they have been opened in the reading pane, and is also happening on a colleagues computer as well.
    Any suggestions as to why this may be happening?
    It seems to have only started opening in the last week or two and I have not changed any settings in the mean time.

    Sounds like you both have the same messed up add on. Try restarting Thunderbird with the add ons disabled and see if things go back to normal.
    You can do this from the Help Menu.

  • 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).

  • All incoming emails being marked as 'read' on my Droid x

    All incoming emails to my pop3 or imap accounts are being automatically marked as 'Read'.
    Any fix for this issue?
    If I have outlook open, which is running exchange client  Outlook 2007, and my Droid is running imap or pop3, messages being delivered are being displayed as READ.
    I have tried closing outlook, and then downloading emails to my droid without reading any of the 80 unread emails - then turning off my Droid....Followed by opening Outlook, but the messages show up in outlook as being READ.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    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.

  • Emails being marked as read on Z10

    I have a major issue on my blackberry Z10. emails are marked as read even though i have not read them.
    I have seen another post where users have an issue with mails being downloaded on Outlook. I thought my issue was similar and hence spent an entire day without launching outlook. nevertheless emails continue to be marked as read.
    if i have received 10 emails, i go into 1 to read it, but when i come back into the hub, the other 9 emails are marked as read as well.
    however, once i re-mark the emails as unread they stay marked unread. but this has to be done manually.
    nonetheless, this is a very frustrating process for someone who uses unread emails as a tool to follow-up on tasks.
    BTW: i am using version 10.0.10.82 now and have regularly updated the OS, but faced the same issue for 3 months.

    Hey kabsl,
    Thanks for the post.
    What type of email account is attached to your BlackBerry Z10? (POP3, IMAP, Exchange).  Also have you tried removing and re-adding the email account to test?
    Is this email account only setup on one computer or several computer?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • 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.

  • Re:Messages not being marked "as read".

    I have all my devices tied into icloud. When I read a message in Mail on any of my devices it used to be marked as read on the others. It has stopped doing this. Any idea how to fix this?

    I'm getting this too. Switching to a different folder and back gets rid of the blue dot. This only happens with my exchange account. All other accounts work normally.

  • TS2755 somehow the messages i havent read are being marked as read.. how is this?

    please help!

    This stopped happening as mysteriously as it started for me. The only change made on my end is that I added some seemingly unrelated filter Rules - around the same time (i can't be entirely certain if it stopped before or after the Rule changes) the proble with sent messages being marked as unread stopped. I doubt that the Rules actually had a direct effect, though perhaps it altered the structure of memory enough to stop the bug from occurring (something which I've seen many times in my 40 years of programming).
