Mail read messages

I have my email account setup as IMAP on my iPhone and computer. Is there a way to set mail on my mac to display all read messages on my iPhone an unread?

I don't think so. Are you saying you want them to display as Unread on your computer if you open them on your iPhone?

  • Imap to mail, read messages not saving

    Hi -- I keep asking this of the "mac geniuses" and in the other discussions and I am getting nowhere.
    I use Mail to access my AOL mailbox (I know, I know). AOL uses IMAP.
    Mail does NOT save read or sent mail more than the X number of days specified by whatever AOL sets it at. My mailbox keeps synching with AOL and then NOT saving my read messages. Why aren't my read messages saved into my IN box? I do not want them saved ad infinitum on AOL's server, I just want them on my computer, automatically, so I can peruse read messages and make use of them six months from now. Why won't Mail let my read messages remain? Why must it overwrite my in box with what's in my AOL mailbox? HOW DO I AUTOMATE THIS?
    This seems simple, yet I have had two Mac geniuses argue with me that "it's already doing that" and one mac support person say "I can try to troubleshoot that for $49.95" and I am getting nowhere.
    How do I get Mail to SAVE MY READ MAIL?
    Thanks in advance. But I am not very hopeful. This kinda *****.

    Since an AOL account must be created as an IMAP type account in Mail and the same with other email clients other than the AOL program, mailboxes stored on the server for IMAP type accounts in Mail and with other email clients are synchronized with the server.
    This is an AOL setting or problem at their server. You need to contact AOL regarding changing this setting for automatically removing messages from the server. There is no setting in Mail that causes this. When AOL automatically removes messages from a server stored mailbox after a designated period of time, the Mail.app is only synchronizing server stored mailboxes with the server.
    When creating an IMAP type account in Mail, the only account mailbox that is stored on the server by default is the account's Inbox mailbox which cannot be changed.
    You have the choice to save the account's Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server or locally on the hard drive which is available under the Special Mailboxes tab for the account preferences.
    To fix the Sent messages problem, do not store Sent messages on the server. When storing sent messages locally on the hard drive, it doesn't matter what AOL does.
    For messages received by the account, utilize an existing or create a new "On My Mac" location mailbox which is stored locally on the hard drive. Once a week or so or daily, transfer messages from the account's Inbox mailbox to a user created "On My Mac" mailbox which will store the transferred messages locally on the hard drive and remove the messages from the server at the same time.

  • How can I set up my mail accounts to sync sent and read messages automatically?

    I'm not sure how to set it up so  my flagged emails, sent messages, and read messages will show the same in my MacBook Pro and my MacBook Air.  This seems like it would be a simple problem to fix, but I can't figure it out.
    Thanks!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This type of service is offered by IMAP email accounts such as the me address that is associated with your iCloud account.
    Are you saying it isn't working or are you trying to add a third party address (ie gmail, yahoo etc etc) to your mail account and expecting it to work like an IMAP account.

  • IMAP-Mail sender adapter handling with read messages in mailbox

    Hi,
    (PI 7.0)
    we have a "funny" situation:
    We are using imap-mail-sender adapter polling a mailbox.
    Sometimes there are read messages in mailbox so the adapter cannot read these messages.
    When we sort all read messages and we mark e.g. the second message in list as not read, the adapter polls fetch the first (already read) message and afterwards the not-read message and afterwards no other message is read.
    I think this behaviour is wrong because pi should not handle an already read meassage.
    Does anybody know this problem?
    Or is it a problem of the mail-server (Exchange 2003)?
    Thanx and regards
    Wolfgang

    Hi,
    thanx for your answer.
    The default behaviour of imap is "only fetching unread message" (s. FAQ of mail adapter)...
    The mail sender channel with IMAP4 fetches only the unread messages from the specified mail box in the order they are stored. Therefore, please make sure that you have some unread messages in the top of the list (if ordered by most recent on top). After a polling cycle, you can look at the status of this channel at the adapter's monitor. This should show any error if the messages are not processed correctly. Once the messages are read but not processed correctly, they remain in the mail box but are not read in the subsequent polling cycle. You must correct the problem and delete these messages using your mail client program or reset them as unread so that they can be resend.
    In our example the adapter fetchs read messages too (till the first unread one)  - and this is wrong (i think so!?).
    But I dont know if its a MS-Exchange problem.
    Regards
    Wolfgang

  • Is there a way to show Custom message in Outlook Mail read Inspector Window same as When a File is opened in Protected View.

    Is there a way to show Custom message in Outlook Mail read Inspector Window same as When a File is opened in Protected View.
    If we open a Document from Untrusted location,the file is opened in Protected mode and a Red Message bar is shown below the ribbon for Excel,Word apps.
    Can we show this type of similar message bar with custom Message in Outlook or any other Office App.

    Are you displaying an MSG file? Keep in mind that Outlook creates a temporary copy in one of Outlook folders, so strictly speaking your are not looking at a file.

  • How to stop Mail from uploading read messages

    I am rebuilding Mail on a new hard drive from a backup Mail folder (POP account). I changed all the permissions on the old folder (including the internal folders) so I could replace the "new" Mail with the old backup Mail folder. Seemed to work except Mail now does not recognize previously read messages as read. It continually downloads hundreds of them -they are duplicates. And the message bodies are blank. Obviously I forgot to do something in my manual restore. Ideas on how to fix this?

    Does anyone out there have a handy fix for this problem? I'm having the same issue, and it's driving me nuts. As of right now I have 8815 "unread" messages from Gmail...sigh. Some of those are truly unread, but definitely not 8815. Is there a way to sync Mail and Gmail so it recognizes which messages have been read/deleted/archived/etc?

  • Iphone receiving read messages from mac mail

    My iphone used to only receive unread emails as long as entourage on my mac wasnt open. Now i have moved to mac mail and my phone is receiving read messages from mac mail. Is there a setting im missing that will make my phone only receive new messages?
    I still want my mac mail to receive these same emails later as it used to work.

    You would still receive read e-mails in the inbox on your iPhone (and vice-versa) if you used IMAP but they would show as having been read and not as new. IMAP keeps all mail clients synchronised. The only alternative would be to use POP to download to your phone and IMAP to download to your laptop and create another folder on your computer and move mail over to it when read. By default, POP only downloads from the inbox so your phone would not download it again. IMAP would leave a copy in the folder you have created on the server in case you have problems with your laptop. If you delete read e-mails on your laptop, you can set it to remove them from the server after a fixed time and they would remain there until then but your phone would not download them again.

  • IOS 7 back ground makes it difficult to read the text.  How can I change it in mail and messages?

    HI,
    iOS 7 back ground makes it difficult to read the text.  I know I can't change it in mail and messages, but Apple really needs to allow some customization.  This is really difficult to read for older eyes.

    yeah I agree with all you guys statements, the color scheme on IOS 7 *****,
    I am having to constantly turn on off on off on off  "invert color" mode just to switch between
    the home screen, typing, and reading text messages, its an absolute pain!!
    I never had any of this trouble in IOS 6.
    What they SHOULD do, is make 2 different color schemes
    one LIGHT color scheme,
    and one DARK color scheme, for those using "invert colors" frequently.
    See, what Apple doesn't seem to understand is, when you turn on "invert colors",
    the lock screen turns bright WHITE, so you have to turn invert colors OFF just to read the lock screen,
    then back ON when you want to type an email, read a text message, etc etc, then turn it off again when
    you want to play a game.
    and see, after awhile, when you switch invert colors on off on off after so  many times, it drains on the devices resources, & you have to reboot the device to get accessibility options working again.   I have to reboot the device several times a day now just because of that, when its just a simple fix of adding a darker color scheme as a 2nd or alternative option. 
    I mean, even as a normal sighted person, turning on invert colors is annoying when your at the lock screen or playing a game, think about those of us who depend upon it just to read text on the screen..  VoiceOver has the smilar issues when you have to turn it off on off on all the time it drains the system resources of the phone also,
    so I agree completely...
    but ya know, they don't listen to us...  cuz its an option they don't use, so they don't understand... If they used that option for even 5 seconds, they'd understand what we're talking about....  What Apple should do is hire one of us as a beta tester to help them test out these types of issues,  from one of us like myself who knows a thinkg or two about accessibility options of the phone.
    I've been an Apple idevice fan for years, but, IOS 7 was a major disappointment in the accessibility arena..
    kind regards,
    Tom

  • XFCE4 & Preferred Applications; Mail reader 'claws mail' wont open

    Configuring my XFCE4 setup I wanted to set Claws Mail as my standard mail client, such that when I open links in my browser pointing to mail addresses (mailto:[email protected]) that specified mail clilent automatically opens and lets me type my mail right away.
    Now... that doesn't work. First Sylpheed Claws was set as my Mail Reader (apparently installing claws mails leads to two entries in the /usr/bin, one for Claws Mail and one for Sylpheed Claws). I switched to Claws Mail, and... it doesnt work.
    So, what is there to do about this issue? Any workarounds?
    I am using Epiphany as my browser, if that's relevant.
    Ah, I also wanted to track this problem down by opening Epiphany in the terminal and see what happens (error messages that is). But it won't open in the shell. I start it, it runs, but there is nothing printed in the prompt (if I close the terminal again, epiphany stays open). Can I force it to run inside the shell?

    Although the post is quite old -- I have the same problems using awesome window manager, epiphany browser and claws-mail.
    If someone still uses Epiphany with webkit see
    http://www.mail-archive.com/epiphany-li … 03090.html
    For epiphany 2.30 I tried
    $ mkdir -p ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto
    $ gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command -t string 'claws-mail --compose %s'
    $ gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/enabled -t bool true
    But it won't work ;-( Has anyone ideas?

  • Since upgrade to iOS 7 Email error on over 100KB emails "Cannot Send Mail  The message was rejected by the server because it is too large." Connecting to Exchange via Activesync

    Hi,
    Following the upgrade to iOS 7.0.3 on all our iPhone and iPad devices, it has been identified that when sending emails around 100KB in size and over an error message appears on the device stating “Cannot Send Mail  The message was rejected by the server because it is too large.” See error message below. The send/receive limit is over 10MB so this is not the issue.
    We are in an Exchange Environment using Microsoft Activesync. This issue is not evident in iOS 6. This has been tested on an iPhone 3GS running version iOS 6.1.3. We have been unable to repeat the issues seen on iOS 7 on the older OS. It is not possible to roll back to the older operating system as Apple are no longer signing the software.
    We use Microsoft Active Sync to connect to our Exchange servers through a TMG. The issue is very inconsistent, some identical emails go through, some fail. This is not an issue with the send/receive limit as this is over 10MB. The error message when it fails on the TMG is Status: 413 Request Entity Too Large, which we believe is from IIS on the CAS server.
    Does anyone have any suggest course of actions to take?
    Many Thanks

    This resolution have to attend at the server not with the ios device. My employer's mail administrator reject me to correct it from the server. As his concern is, if ither ios devices works why don't mine? So I am helpless than changing my iphone. It works fine for early versions of ios and with androids. And also one of my friends iphone4 with ios 7 (similar as mine) works too. So I guess it's something wrong with my iPhones settings. But basic question I cannot understand is it works in my phone before this ios7 upgrading. And currently working with my yahoo account too. Favourable reply expected.

  • How to customize initial secure e-mail notification message

For best results, save the file first, then open it in a Web browser. To access from a mobile device, forward this message to [email protected] to receive a mobile login URL.
    If you have concerns about the validity of this message, contact the sender directly.

    Thanks!

    Nevermind, I found it.
    Mail Policies > Text Resources > Add Text Resource
    Set the type as Encryption Notification Template (HTML), edit the HTML and then also add one with a type Encryption Notification Template (text), edit the text. Then go into the Security Services > IronPort E-Mail Encryption > modify the Encryption profile and choose the new Text Resources created above.
    Under Text Resources I was also able to create custom bounce messages with variables that display all the relevant information regarding the bounce.

  • Mail and Messages freeze in landscape/portrait mode

    When in Messages and Mail, my iPhone 5 freezes in landscape or portrait mode.  I can continue to type, edit, etc. but can only get it to rotate after pressing 'Home' button or closing and re-opening app.  I am running 8.0.2.  I notice it most when taking a break for Mail or Messages and turning phone off and when I turn back on.  I'm guessing it is a bug and not a hardware problem because I can always get it to clear by just pressing home or closing app.

    Hello there, HoosierZach1979.
    Great job in coming up with a good workaround for your issue with Mail and Messages. For issues regarding iOS not functioning as expected, the following Knowledge Base article provides a great and practical list of steps for troubleshooting:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected,  restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),  reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
