Mark POP e-mail as read when read on the server

So, when an e-mail gets marked as read on the Yahoo server, it automatically gets marked as read on my Palm Pre. (And, of course, the same is true for e-mails on the Exchange Server, but I recognize that that is a plainly different situation.) So, if that is possible with Yahoo e-mail, why doesn't that same thing happen with POP mail from other sources? The account settings for the POP account allow me to set it to delete messages off of the phone when they are deleted from the server, so clearly the device is capable of monitoring the status of e-mails that have already been downloaded. As such, why can't it also monitor the read/unread status, and update that when it changes on the server? This is very frustrating to me, and it is made all that much worse because there is no way to deal with (delete, mark as read) multiple e-mails at once.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Yeah, I can appreciate the format differences, but that explanation seems to be a bit problematic in light of one of the settings I am able to select on POP accounts. The account settings for any POP account allow me to set it to delete messages off of the phone when they are deleted from the server. So, obviously the Pre is able to monitor e-mails that have already been downloaded to see what has happened to them on the server end. Of course, the Pre also knows not to download messages that it has already downloaded once before. I may be wrong, but it sure seems to me that if a mail client can figure out if a message has already been downloaded or not, and can further monitor if it has been deleted from the server, then it should be able to monitor the read/unread status as well. If not, then whoever designed the POP protocol seems to have left out an obvious feature while allowing others that were very similar.
In any event, this whole thing wouldn't really be much of a problem if I could simply select multiple e-mails at once on the Pre and mark them all as read or delete them all as a group, instead of having to deal with e-mails in an agonizing one at a time fashion. Palm? You out there? Users could do this on your older products, and I see a lot of users complaining about it with the WebOS, so where's this fix?

IOS 4 And Marking All E-Mail as Read

Hello,
Does anyone know if the "Mark all E-mail as Read" feature is going to make its way into iOS 4 / iPhone 4? I keep trying to find a full list of features for iOS 4, but all I see is buttons that say "learn more" and point at the same page which says the mail client was updated to support new exchange server, threading, and MORE FEATURES, which I can't find explained anywhere.
The only way I'll consider buying an iPhone is if I can mark all e-mail as read within 1-3 taps. Thus far, I can't find any indication that this is actually the case.
Thanks.

errr no...it is not a trivial issue, it is a real one.
I get 100-150 emails today, including a lot of spam which is a never ending task to control. I like to be able to scan email subject lines, choose the mails I want to look at, and then mark all as read. The Blackberry has a feature to do this with 2 clicks.
I have just got my first iphone, the iphone4, and am absolutely lost for words that there is no "mark all mail as read" function.
Telling folks to move from POP3 to IMAP is complete tosh. I mention this, as this appears to be a stock answer on some other forums. Why should you have to change your mail accounts /set up forwarding etc., just because you have changed phones?
Come on apple, less of the BS fluff apps. Give us proper control over our email please ! Unbelievable.

Mail cannot read data from server

Hello!
I'm fairly new to Macs, having used a PC for 12 years, and am still getting used to it's little quirks.
I now have a problem where one of my email servers (a POP account) makes Mail (and Thunderbird for that) come up with;
The attempt to read data from ** has failed
Now, I know that the log on info is OK, as using my Webmail account, on the same iMac, accesses the mail fine. I've emptied the relevant mail account, both locally and on the server, removed the local settings and reset them using info on various Mac help sites.
Nothing that I know of has changed, I've ran and re-ran the reset permissions tool.
Can anyone give me any help?

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
Has this POP account ever worked in Mail? Is the POP3 server in question unique to this one account, or do you have other accounts from the same provider, using the same POP3 server as the Incoming Server?

I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic. And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4. However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.

I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic. And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4, so it appears my headset mic is fine. I can also use voice activated dialing, although it fails miserably interpreting numbers. However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic. I just get barely audible static. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hello, did you ever get an answer to your question? I just picked up a Jawbone Era and using on an iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Seems to work fine on regular calls, but not on the built in Voice memos application. It worked fine on my older Jawbone Icon, but haven't tested on the 4s or iOS 5.
Thanks!

How come, when I add myYahoo! email account to MAIL, after verifying, I always get the "server unavailable. please try again later"

THANKS! this worked !!!
I hit "DELETE THIS ACCOUNT" on my iphone (this is the Yahoo I tried to set up by "picking" it from the list that the iphone5 gives you) and then confirmed to delete everything.
THEN: while in Mail (still in the Settings Section) I tapped on "ADD ACCOUNT..." but this time tapped on "OTHER" and manually put in my yahoo ID and password and I did not even have to go to the SMTP or IMAP incomming/outgoing stuff at all. But I checked it out under the "ADVANCE" tab and it was already correct for yahoo. (ALMOST SEEMED TOO EASY)
Went to my home screen and tapped on MAIL and my yahoo email loaded up just right!
Now, I have no idea if I have any other issues like if I delete mail on the iphone; does it delete properly on my ipad...etc..etc. but one problem at a time is getting fixed. THANKS!

Want to delete mails from Thunderbird but not from the server?

Hi,
Please tell me how to configure the settings of Thunderbird so that if i delete any mail from Thunderbird that mail would be delete only from Thunderbird not from server. I'm using IMAP configuration for all my mail accounts and I'm using Thunderbird in my laptop and tablet both.
Currently i'm using Thunderbird 24.4.0 and i just want to delete my useless mails from Thunderbird but not from the server without using pop-3 settings.
Actually the reason for this Question arises because whenever i use to uninstall and reinstatement Thunderbird, i use to take "profiles" as a back up and its size is increasing day by day that is making a big issue to me as i cant take a back up of such a big size file.

Imap mail accounts keep the emails on the server and you see a remote view of those emails and folders.
When you subscribe to see a folder, the headers are downloaded, when you select an email to read, the entire folder is downloaded to a temp cache facilitating quicker access. If you synchronize folders, then a copy of that folder is downloaded to an mbox file in your profile, so that you have a copy of the server folder. When you make any changes to a synchronized folder, read an email, delete or move etc, then Thunderbird will resynchronize with the server to update the server. A synchronized folder allows you to work in 'offline' mode and this is the best time to perform a backup as you know there is a temporary stop on synchronizing as you are offline. They will resynchronize when you go back into 'online' mode.
So, with IMAP mail accounts, the folders you see in Thunderbird are the same folders on the webmail server. If you make any changes via Thunderbird or webmail then you are changing the same folder. You cannot delete an email without deleting it from the server, they are one and the same.
What you can do is move/copy an email into Local Folders and delete the one on the server. The Local Folders emails are kept in your Profile on your computer, these folders/emails are not on the server, unless you chose to keep a copy of them on the server.
Pop mail accounts cannot see the folders on the server. They only access the server Inbox folder and download emails not previously downloaded to the mail account Inbox in Thunderbird. These emails are kept on your computer in your profile folder. You can select to keep a copy on the server or not. You can choose to delete emails off your computer and off the server or not.
If the mail account is gmail , have you subscribed or even synchronized to see the 'All Mail' folder ? Gmail's all Mail folder is their Archive folder, it keeps a copy of all of your non-deleted emails. So, you do not need to subscribe to see this folder as it only shows you what you can already see in other folders. It doubles the disc space.
Please read section on 'All Mail' at this link.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Gmail_with_Thunderbird_and_Mozilla_Suite
You do not have to download/synchronize the entire folder. You could select to only synchronize the most recent xx days of emails.

"mail has not been downloaded from the server" messages......

About 2 weeks ago I started seeing "mail has not been downloaded from the server" messages popping up when I attempt to both new mail and e-mails that I have already read. I usually don't have any problems when I first launch the program, but after a few minutes running I get this message when I try to open any e-mail.
The message from "---" <[email protected]> concerning “RE: S8-04 pps sample package” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
I know that the program is running online because it continues to show me new e-mails that come in.
What should I do?

Your OS detail provided indicates you are running 10.4.7 and Sasso's OS detail provided is 10.3.9.
The MBOX Breaker script does not work with Tiger mailboxes which are different from the mailbox structure used with previous Mail.app versions and the link you provided includes instructions for Jaguar or Panther Mail, not Tiger Mail. And depending on the size of the mailbox with Jaguar or Panther Mail, the MBOX Breaker Script may not be required.
If you are getting this message with Tiger Mail, this indicates you upgraded to Tiger from Jaguar or Panther on this Mac.
If so and if this Sent mailbox is for a POP type account, using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > Sent Messages.mbox.
List all file and folder names available within the Sent Messages.mbox folder.

I install LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I installed LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it with less than 7 karakters. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary? How do I do this if so?
I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
Thanks again for your help.

Oracle doesn't started when When I reboot the Server.

Dear All,
I have installed 10g using ASM and Oracle-managed files on a Windows Server 2003 (Second Edition , Service Pack 1 ) system . I have put no data in, and I take the defaults. It works fine - until the system reboots.
Oracle doesn't started when When I reboot the Server.
Here is what I get from sqlplus, following the instructions to start an ASM instance:
SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production on Mon Oct 11 10:47:53 2006

Thanks for helping,

It look like your ASM instance is not yet started. Try the following:
$>export ORACLE_SID=+ASM (set ORACLE_SID=+ASM if you are on Windows)
$>sqlplus /nolog
SQL>startupThen you start up your other instance.

When the system status says icloud is OK but it reports "encountered an error when connecting to the server", where do you report the problem, or how do you connect?

Yes i am hoping staff here will look into things, even if i can not get the speeds back what i previously had for near 6 months it would be nice to know why i can not and why the download has dropped by around 10Mb and why my upload is now inconsistant.
Ironically the post concerned got edited because i actually posted the full rather silly reply the Indian call centre made babbling on about down rates rather than the uprate i queried with them.
Bit of a shambles really no real way on BTs web site to contact anyone with regards to broadband issues.
The form which you kindly suggested and i appreciated your help ended up in the hands of someone who either did not bother to read the query or just had such a poor grasp of English they did not understand the query.
Pretty pathetic really when BT are the largest telco in the UK. I think ill be taking my broadband business elsewhere regardless at the end of my 18 month contract, while im sure staff here are wonderful and may even yet help me, i do not particularly want to go through the almost like pulling teeth pain of getting any future issue looked at.
They are great at quickly fixing voice line problems and have a great test on their site. Broadband side of things and support for that though seems a shambles.
