Mail shows last opened messages as unread on next download

I am using Mail v6.5 under ML and a very irritating thing now happening is that messages I have recently opened and read then appear in bold type in the message window as unread when I get my new mail.
This happens even though Mail is still open on my desktop when the Mini is in sleep mode overnight and I open it the next day.

The emails are basically unread as fasr as Mail is concerned. You can mark them all as read by going to the edit menu and selecting all then control clicking one of them and choosing mark as read.

10.9.2 Mail - Shows 5 flagged messages; clicked - no messages in the list

My upgrade from OS X Lion 10.7.5 to OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 was fairly straightforward. No major issues.
However, Mail shows 5 flagged messages. When clicking on Flagged indicator, there are no message in the list. Strange. Everything else appears to work as expected.

Is an external display connected and turned off? If not, open Mission Control. Do you see the window(s) in any other spaces?

Critical : i think "Mail show n Recent Messages" just got it wrong

hi, it's been a while that i had tried the smallest setting for this "Mail > Show 25 Recent Messages" for something (i thought maybe it helped Mail to work faster) I cannot feel it exactly, but i just think of it as a good behaviour for me to read and trash unused messages right away so i can manage the mails.
But, unexpectedly, Mail App has acted strange. I was not sure about this until this morning i found 89 New Mails from my boss and only some spilled into my Mail App because "right now i got more than 25 Messages stored in my app" and yet not deleted them.
I just wanted to discuss about this because, in some ways, New Mails are essentially need to be read, and we have to store some, too. But if "Mail > 25 Recent Messages" means i will only strangled myself to whatever i wished to keep, this function has got it wrong. it surely does not mean that i do not want to read any new messages which has just come, right?
In a way, you might tell me to change it to bigger number of storage, which i already did, but i only hoped that you might find other good ways for us to "let me know that i have to clean up my inbox so Mail App can fetch new mails in for you" or something.
Here are my suggestions in a flash:
• notice us by a badge, and when we entered the mail app, notice us again that you know new mails are at the server, but because i had reached my mail limit, i have to trash something or expand the limitation.
• gray-out something old, and put something new on top, it sounds strange though.
hope this helps, thanks,

You could always just scroll to the bottom of the Inbox screen and click on the load more messages link.

IOS 8 Mail is showing my sent messages as unread in my gmail account

I had been using gmail's mail application because of its ability to push. With iOS 8, I figured I'd give Apple's Mail client another try.
When I send something from my Apple Mail client, it appears as an unread message in my inbox. The sent mail should not be unread... I've verified that this doesn't happen in the gmail mail client.
I checked my gmail filters to see if something was affecting sent messages, but didn't see anything.
Any ideas what I need to change? Is this is a problem others are seeing?
Thanks!

Hi Tim.
This kind of problems are caused by some corruption in one or more of the files used by the junk filter. Try this first:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail and disable junk mail filtering.
2. Quit Mail, then open it again.
3. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk mail filtering, and configure it however you wish.
4. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).

Yahoo mail showing 10 new messages but.....

Hi, i've got a first gen iPhone and have a Yahoo mail account on it. Today I noticed that it suddenly has a little red circle with a "10" in it on my mail icon on Iphone home screen, Its correct in saying that I have 10 emails in my inbox but there all open so why is it displaying this, it should only display that for new mail until i've opened them right??
All my mail has been opened and its quite annoying seeing a little 10 there all the time, how do i remove this??
cheers

This is still a problem for me. I've tried EVERYTHING! I have deleted my IMAP account then manually set it up on my iPhone... still 2 unread showing in Inbox, I have looked through my account through web access and made sure everything was marked as read... I have deleted my account and resynced through iTunes... I have updated to 1.1.1 with no help. It's really starting to get frustrating as it has shown 2 unread messages for over a month now. Any advice???

Mail shows 70 new messages but I have none. This only started a few weeks ago. Rebooting didn't fix the problem.

Mail shows 70 messages but I have none. Why is that? Can it be corrected?

When you say you have none, are you sure that you are viewing "All Inboxes"? If not, try going back (top left option) until you see that option. If there are no new messages in "All Inboxes" then the messages might be in folders or smart folders.
Folders/Smartfolders
If you have sorting rules set up on your Mac's Mail app, then these "new" messages are in those folders. These messages will not show up in "All Inboxes." This might be what is happening. To find out, open up each folder/smartfolder on your Mac and see if there are new messages in them because iOS devices (iPod/iPhone/iPad) will not sort mail like your Mac.

Apple Mail and Yahoo - Mail shows as opened in Yahoo?

I have Gmail and Yahoo mail accounts. When I open my Apple mail, all my Yahoo messages show as opened; Gmail does not. Is there a configuration I can perform to correct this problem? I'd like it to function like Gmail, Exchange or iCloud. Suggestions?

dddog,
Are you accessing the Yahoo email or the email on your computer as POP3?
If so this article would apply:

TS3694 Please how do I handle this. I downloaded a higher version of my Iphone 3 but during the installation it always hangs and show an error message that it cannot be downloaded with code1015.

Please how do I handle this?
I downloaded a higher version of my Iphone 3 but during the installation it always hangs and show an unknown error message that it cannot be downloaded and the code of the message 1015.

This is usually a result of the iPhone being hacked with the cutsie term for that "jailbroken".
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1015
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

Mail will not open message viewer or drafts

Hello. I work on a 27" IMac 2.66 GHz 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, running Mavericks 10.9.5. Since installing the latest update mac mail has been running VERY slowly, even lagging substantially as I type. Then in the last couple of days it has seemingly launched but no windows, no message viewer are visible. I can quit it or force quit or restart the computer but it still will not open any windows. I tried shutting off iCloud mail sharing yesterday and lo and behold it worked again. But today although iCloud mail remains shut off it will not open. I have opened the console and here are the recent messages:
(it seems to suggest I am out of cpu space? of a 1TB SATA disk I have 387.21 GB free of 999.35
Your assistance in fixing this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Why is mail showing as open before it's been read

MMy email arrives and has a blue dot showing. Before I open the mail the dot disapperars even if I haven't opened the message. why?

Unfortunately that's not it! There's no way it's full signal, it regularly drops out, or just shows itself at full signal and the internet doesn't connect.
And it shows the correct signal strength before I connect to it, but as soon as I do it shows it as full!

Mail slow to open messages

I'm running a Core Duo MacBook Pro, 2GB RAM, OS X 10.5.5.
Recently (and I'm not sure if this followed an update or not), I've been having serious lack-of-speed issues with Mail. When I open a message, the window pops up immediately, followed quickly (sometimes a slight delay but usually not a perceptible one) by the headers. It then takes about 40-45 seconds (counting to 40-one-thousand, haven't used a stopwatch) for the message body to come up.
This happens with emails from both POP and IMAP accounts, in both my inbox as well as "normal" folders on my Mac. I do have a decent number of accounts (some POP, some IMAP) and a whole lot of mail saved on my Mac, but that's been true since before I started having this problem.
I've tried rebuilding a mailbox, and it didn't ameliorate the problem.
Any other thoughts appreciated.

I am a heavy email user - 100 to 200 emails a day sometimes. My Apple Mail was so slow that I got in the habit of clicking on an email and then going to another application to keep working and check back from time to time to see the email opened. I'd then read it, click on another and repeat the process. a serious drag on productivity. I came across this tip on another site and it worked very well for me. Not sure how long it will last.
Here is the link:

Here is the meat of the post:
+You can check your current 'envelope archive' size by entering this in the terminal:+
+ls -lah ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index+
+Then to optimise it (cleans out stuff that has been marked for deletion but not actually deleted, defragments the structure, etc):+
+sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index vacuum;+
+Then check your envelope archive size again to see the results…+
+ls -lah ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index+
+It compacted my envelope archive down from 55MB to 50MB — not a huge increase, but the speed difference was dramatic.+
