Marking all email inbox as read

Is anybody getting tired of reading email on their IMac and then spending the rest of the day marking the same mail on their iPad and iPhone as read by opening each and every individual email? I hope I'm missing something.

Same here! I had to go through 248 e-mails from four different accounts and select them one by one. Also, there's no way to mark an e-mail as read without opening it first. It might be nice if Apple gives us that option in a future software update... cause there'll be future software updates, right?

Mark all email msgs as read?

Has anyone found a way to mark all messages in a particular mailbox as read? So far, I have to go through them one at a time.

Mark all email as "read"

Is there a way to mark all email in your inbox as "read" without having to open each message individually? I just got the iPhone and have been unable to find this option.
Thanks for any help!

No option.

HT203216 How to mark all emails as read on the Iphone

How do you mark all emails as read on the IPhone? When I updated the IOS system it brough emails from my laptop as unread

No, there's no global 'mark as read' option.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
For IMAP accounts, though, if the mail was read elsewhere, it should not be marked as new mail on the phone. This is the case for my IMAP and Exchange accounts - if I read the mail in Outlook or another mail client, the new mail mark is gone from the iPhone after the next mail sync. For POP, that won't be the case, since POP mail 'lives' on the client it's always going to be new to the iPhone even if already read in another client.

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
In the preinstalled email application, you need to long press one email to mark it. When an email is marked, you can either press the emails you want to mark as read or you can press in the top left corner to mark all your emails. You can then press the "Mark as read/unread" button in the top right corner.

Communication Channel marked all files as being read on FTP

The Mailbox FTP has all the files flagged as being read when a single file is read through a communication channel. I manually unflagged the status field so all files had a status of N so none were pulled. I had 14 files for this test flagged as N.   I turned off all our CCu2019s. I activated one that was pulling the last file in the list based on the Service Ref# which is unique file name. I refreshed the dir of the FTP several times as the CC was running. One by one as the flag was changed to Y (file read) from top to bottom. It only took a second for each one until it got to three very large files and the status stopped while it was reading the file. After a minute it continued to change the flag until it read the last one.   All 14 files on the ftp now had the status flag changed to Y. It appears it actually read the file content one by one and set the flag until it was done. Do you have any ideas why it would do this? From a dos prompt I donu2019t have any of these issues so Iu2019m guessing itu2019s something unique in the SAP FTP adapter that is doing it?
From a dos prompt I can successfully do a get 003520827870964903 c:data.txt and it will only update that ST flag for that one file as being read. I can also do a get %EDT39A22%W_Z1JI4960 c:data.txt and it will only flag the four files as being read that have that Mailbox/APRF value. Now I'm trying to get my CC to do the same but no matter what I try it marks all six files as being read.   I have in my source directory %EDT39A22%W_Z1JI4960 and * for a file name and this will mark all files as being read when activated.   I have entered 003520827870964903 for a file name to further qualify and it still marks all files as being read. It seems to be getting the file I want cause when I view the communication channel monitor it shows the right data in the payload but it always refers to another file for the archive / delete / test option from the processing tab. There are no problems having a CC write a file out using similar parms for Mailbox/APRF, but trying to read a single file using the Service Ref # or a collection of files using a Mailbox/APRF mask seem to update the status for all files as being read. Any suggestions are welcome.

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.

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.

WP7 - marking all emails as read

I wondered if there were a way to select all unread emails and mark them read? I have been trying to do this for awhile, without success. Loving the Trophy and WP7 though!
Thanks,
Rick

Don't know if this will work for you but this is probably the quickest way to do it on WP7:
Open email inbox.
Slide to the right to view all unread messages
Tap by the very left-most edge of the first message; you should then see a box next to all the unread messages
Tap each box of each unread message you wish to change the status of
Tap the settings at the bottom right corner (3 dots)
Select mark as read. Every Checked Email should get it's status changed to read at that point.
There is no "select all" option in email at this time, but the above actually be done pretty darn quickly once you've practiced it a few times.

Why does Mail mark all emails as read when I close it with an email open?

If I use Mail with say, Gmail, and I open an email in Mail and then later archive all email in Gmail, then any future email that I receive are marked as "Read" in the Mail app. This appears to be because when you open an email in Mail and then it no longer exists (because it's archived) then Mail moves on to the next email, therefore marking it as read because it's opening it.
Is this really to be expected? Is there a way for the Mail app to "reset" itself like some other apps do, once they close, rather than save the last state that the app was in?

Does the iPhone still do this, or no longer?

Mark All Email as Read on Palm Pre

Hi,
I'm wondering how I would mark all my email as read on the Palm Pre. I don't seem to see any options for it without going to each email separately. If that option isn't available yet, it would be greatly appreciated in an update. Thanks!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

This is a necessity. I really hope they provide this functionality in an update right away. We need to be able to select multiple emails for deletion and also to mark all as read. My business email has more than 200 unread messages and I am not going to open each one.

How to mark all emails as read after syncing?

hey folks,
i just synced my new iphone 3gs with my mbp and so far everything is fine except that all my mails from all my accounts (3x pop and 4x imap) are marked as "unread".
is there any smooth way to set all (~6000) mails as read? i was kinda dissapointed that the syncing was unable to get that information out of mail on its own..
hope anybody can help me here.
thanks in advance

Why the emails in ios cannot be select all with one click?? i have to select one each time to can delete all...i need so much one button "mark all emails" in the mail of ios on my iPhone)

hello, all...
Please somebody know one way to select all emails in one touch in ios on iphone.
In brazil, were i live, nobody have this answer.
Thanks a lot.
Paula

This does not answer/solve the OP's question/problem as they would still have to select each email individually before selecting the "delete all" button. In the end this the same as selecting "delete" on each message individiually.
There is no practical way to do what the OP wants.

With 31.0, McAfee Internet Security marks ALL email as spam. What's the fix?

No matter the level of anti-spam filtering I choose, every single incoming email is tagged as spam in my inbox. (Also, FWIW, all messages go to the inbox even if I try to opt to have them sent to the McAfee anti-spam folder.) I have three PCs with the same McAfee program and Thunderbird. After the problem arose on one PC I checked the others, which had not yet been updated to 31.0. No problem until I updated T'bird. Then: BOOM! Everything is marked as spam on both of those as well.
Hard to believe that McAfee hasn't heard from other T'bird users on this. Doesn't it seem that there must be an innate conflict between McAfee IS and T'bird 31.0?
McAfee techs want to take remote access of my computer to play around with the registry, presumably looking for a corruption of some sort. I have declined, because I can't see that happening simultaneously in all three of my computers, nor do I wish to have the McAfee techs learning on my equipment. Let them solve the problem in-house.
But meantime, just in case, does anyone have a solid suggestion? Thanks!

re: ''but your boilerplate reply doesn't recognize''
This facetious remark is uncalled for and not polite to people trying to offer assistance.
McAfee needs to keep up to date if it intends to offer what it claims without causing aggrivation and issues to the user, but obviously informing them helps and this you are doing, which is good.
You ask for a workaround:
The link offers some advise from a Thunderbird perspective.
I've also done some internet searching on your behalf and located that this issue seems to occur regardless of email client.
On this McAfee forum, there is a similar question albeit a year old, with some advise on what to try.

Mail-marking all messages that I read as replied, even though I have not replied.

Everytime I read a message, it shows the replied icon on that message. When I click on the replied icon, it says that it cannot find my reply, and that I must have deleted it. I haven't replied at all, so I want those icons to go away. Has anyone had this problem or does anyone have a solution?

you're the first case of this I've heard about. Please don't get upset because i am only asking these question to deduce any issues.
Having said that:
what computer model are you on,
what email client are you using with mail? (MSN, gmail, icloud, what?)
if you create a new user account in system preferenes, users and groups and try mail through there, does it still happen?
ultimately I think you should send feedback to Apple about your particular situation. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Because this is the first time I'm reading about this.
you may need to reinastall lion throught the recovery partition.
