Mail does not correctly reflect read status of Gmail IMAP messages

Apple Mail is no longer correctly reflecting the read status of emails that have been read on other devices/computers when viewing my Gmail IMAP inbox. Whereas my iPhone and Gmail account both show changes in items' read status immediately or on next mail retrieval, in Apple Mail the only way I have currently of updating the read status is to quit Mail and restart it. Neither automatic fetching of Mail, nor clicking "Get Mail", nor right-clicking the Inbox and choosing "Synchronize Gmail" work.
My other IMAP account (MobileMe) does not exhibit this behaviour, but Mail.app does this with Gmail on both of my desktop computers.
Anyone out there with a similar problem? And are there any possible solutions, or is it a bug/incompatibility with GMail?

This problem is still occurring for me in 10.5.5 - I even tested it by creating a new gmail account with only 1 message in it, in case it was a problem with large mailboxes, and the same thing happened.
Mail messages marked read elsewhere are not updated in Mail on the next send/receive. I wonder if everyone with this problem could report the bug at http://www.apple.com/support/feedback and see if we can get this solved in 10.5.6

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, my mail does not "UNBOLD" my read mail, even though I have checked in Preferences.

You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,

MM should be the default calendar on all clients.

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.

Mail does not recognize my new changed password

so i had my ipad stolen today and I changed my passwords to both of my email addresses. For some reason mail does not want to sync with my gmail. It says that I have wrong username or password. My iphone doesnt accept it either... But i am able to log in in my browser. Any ideas?

Hello,
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Should be 2 for each account, in & out, but possible to have duplicates of those.

Package javax.mail does not exist (Still having trouble)

Good Morning
I know that there are several posts regarding issues with javamail. I have viewed them for the past hour. While several of them address my issue I have been unable to locate a solution.
Bare with me please, I am making this post very thorough. The other threads I have read are frusterating because the problems people tend to post are not clear.
I am trying to run "msgsend" which is a provided demo of javamail-1.4 using command prompt (start - run - cmd) with the javac command.

27 errors
Here are the methods I have tried...
1. Make sure you have most current version of Java
2. Reinstall Java
3. Attempt to compile in an IDE (Attempted in Eclipse 3.2)
4. Set class path
Some sources suggest "CLASSPATH" some suggest "CLASS PATH" as the variable name. I have tried both.
Below is what the classpath looks like in bold.
Variable Name: CLASS PATH
Variable value: c:\download\javamail-1.4\mail.jar;C:\download\jaf-1.1\activation.jar;.
I have double checked all folder names and copy pasted all entries to eliminate typos. Javamail-1.4 and jaf-1.1 are both located in c:\download which is the same location Class Path points to.
Thank you very much for your input and effort. I can imagine how frusterating it is responding to 20million javamail posts :) (that may be a bit of an overstatement!)
Thank you again!

Yes - I have read that part of the README and did exactly as it has said in a previous attempt. I should have mentioned that here I'm sorry :)
I moved the .jar files into the download folder and set the classpath exactly as the readme shows.
When I do that the msgsend.java compiles correctly but it still does not run.
Below is what happens.
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\download\javamail-1.4
\mail.jar;%CLASSPATH%;c:\download\jaf-1.1\activation.jar.
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>javac msgsend.java
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>java msgsend.java
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: msgsend/java
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>
I have tried fixing this error as well via forums and FAQs but it seems to be the most generic error.
One suggestion was to clear your classpath. I tried this with a test hello world program which was giving the same error - "NoClassDefFoundError". By clearing the classpath I was able to get the hello world program to run without this error. But I can't just clear the classpath in this instance because it needs to point to mail.jar and activation.jar for the program to compile.
Thanks again for all of your efforts. You are more appreciated than you know.

Javax.mail does not exist

I would like to thank warnerja for your advise about the classpath.
Thanks for the classpath information regarding the .jar files. Now when I start tomcat cat it runs appropriately. However I am still having a problem when i try to compile the message send demo. The message I get is javax.mail does not exist,(import javax.mail.) when I downloade the mail api I placed on the root of my D drive and i placed the mail and activation jar files in my lib folded of my Jakarta-3.2.1 lib folder. I graduated Chubb Institute back in october and am currently still looking for work so my memory but be a little fuzzy as to whether or not this is correct. Your help is greatly appreciated.

If you are just compiling the classes then you should check that the mail.jar file is in your compiler classpath. How you check and set it depends on how you are compiling it and on what system etc.

NB550D - battery icon does not always reflect the proper balance of time

I have just recently purchased an NB550D and I must say that at the outset I am very happy with it. It does tend to be a bit slow but I can live with that.
My problem however is that the battery icon does not always reflect the proper balance of time. For instance after a full charge it may show 9 hours remaining but after a shutdown and restart it will may show 75% and 3 hours remaining. If I shut down and restart it may show 75% and 6 hours remaining
When I first started the unit I allowed it to fully discharge (through use) three times as was suggested by the salesman at the store but quite candidly it doesn't seem to have made one scrap of difference!
Any advice will be appreciated.
Regards

Remaining time is not credible value of the battery state - it depends on actual duty of processor and the program wich estimates this sometimes shows wrong that time or corrects this after a while. Percentage of charge of battery is much better factor to use!
But in case your battery loses from 95% to 75% after restart indictates that's something wrong with the battery or program... In my NB550D after restart (pause for 1 day) the battery loses only 2-3% .

Mail does not allow signed message with .Mac certificate

Hi all,
until a few weeks ago, I was able to send signed or encrypted message with my .Mac account and .Mac certificate. Both of them are still valid, and I can still read all messages I sent as encrypted and/or signed, however, Mail does not show the two buttons to crypt and/or sign emails. The certficate seems to work to encrypt iChat dialogs as well.
I repaired my Keychain, looked at how certficates were configured, everything seems normal to me.
Any clue ??

Well, it seems that we've come across something finally.
In comparing notes, my friend (who is currently able to sign and encrypt messages) and I were comparing notes on our respective certificates. In doing so, he pointed out that he'd noticed a difference in the PURPOSE of my cert versus his cert.
His cert shows the following purposes:
1 - Client Authentication
2 - Email Protection
3 - Apple .Mac Identity
4 - Apple iChat Signing
5 - Apple iChat Encryption
Whereas mine only shows these purposes:
1 - Client Authentication
2 - Apple iChat Signing
3 - Apple iChat Encryption
Another thing I noticed while comparing his cert to mine after he pointed this out...his cert is due to expire at the end of October. Mine, on the other hand, was created this past Friday.
Now, from what I understand, these certs expire one year from date of issue, unless they are revoked earlier. So, I suppose the big question to everyone else out there that is having trouble with using their .Mac issued certificates is "When did yours get renewed?".
I'm suspecting at this point that somewhere around the end of June the certificates issued by Apple for iChat signing suddenly stopped having the "Purpose" of mail protection. It would also seem that they suddenly stopped having the purpose of .Mac Identity.
Now I'm curious why Apple would do this, make it actually relatively easy to create a cert that could be used for iChat and Mail encryption, then suddenly take it away. Is this actually what has happened here?
I'd be really interested in seeing what the renewal dates are and the corresponding "Purposes" are for many of the folks that are reporting trouble with this very issue.
If you are one of those people who had mail encryption working using your .mac certificate, and it suddenly stopped working...feel free to post your cert information here.
To get the ball rolling, here's the information from mine...
Issued By:
- Apple .Mac Certificate Authority
Expires:
- September 14, 2007
Purposes:
- Client Authentication
- Apple iChat Signing
- Apple iChat Encryption

Mail does not send email

My problem is simply that Mail does not send email.
I have just migrated from iMac G5 to iMac Intel by using Migration Assistant. Everything else works just fine and I can receive email. However, if I try to reply, forward or send a new email message, Mail just does not do anything - no error message, nothing.
The fixes I have tried so far are removing the Mail plist file, repairing disk permissions and mailboxes. Of course, I have checked the account settings, especially outgoing server settings. I also reinstalled Mail application with Pacifist. None of this has solved the problem. I have tried sending email with Thunderbird and it works with no problems.
Does anybody have any suggestions how to fix this issue?
The OS is 10.4.8, Mail Version 2.0.6 (749.2/752.3), all the suggested software updates done.
iMac Core Duo 20" 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Reinstalling Mail is rarely necessary or appropriate to solve a problem. It certainly cannot fix anything that could be wrong within your home folder or at the server or with the network, and may even introduce new issues if not done properly. Moreover, in Mac OS X 10.4 you don’t need Pacifist to reinstall Mail, you could also do it as described in the following article:
Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, if the version of the system software on your install disks is earlier than what you’re using now (and only in that case), then you must also reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, to bring Mail back in sync with the rest of the system:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
The above won’t solve the problem. It’s just to ensure that you’ve properly reinstalled Mail, which you shouldn’t have done, and which apparently you didn’t do properly -- the version of Mail on your system should be 2.1.1, not 2.0.6.
The original problem could be caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services -- the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, this other article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you wish.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.

Installed OS X 10.5.6 AND NOW MAIL DOES NOT WORK

Installed the newest operating system and Mail does not send or receive messages from the .mac/mobile me account. In fact there are no old messages in any of the folders (inbox,sent,junk,drafts, or trash). New messages can be read and sent online but nothing through Mail.
I have deleted the account and added it new again in preferences. I have deleted Mail and reinstalled it. I have made sure the account is "Online" and still nothing. Activity shows no progress and Connection doctor says I am connected to both incoming and outgoing mail servers. Help?!!

I am not sure what your attempts to fix this may have created, but the original issue may be what is discussed in:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537
In addition to the article cited, if you ran 10.3 or earlier prior to upgrading to Tiger, once-upon-a-time, you might also need to remove two files with MessageSorting in their names.
More info, please. Your issue may not be what is targeted by the article, particularly if you could see any messages in any mailbox?

Sent mail does not appear in sent mailbox after sending

Sent mail does not appear in sent mailbox after sending

From reports on this site, Yahoo mail doesn't work reliably with Mail. The following steps may help.
Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.
