New messages are not bold or blue dotted in mac mail

Just upgraded to Lion in preparation for my new Iphone 4s.
Mail on laptop does not indicate which messages are new and unread.  I have checked the "bold if unread" box in preferences with no luck.  I then went into classic view and told it to bold new and unread messages with no luck.
What is going on?  I am insanely dissapointed.
I've spent the last three days trying to uproot myself from my firm entrenchment in google apps to shift into mac, icloud, ios5, etc.
I can't even tell tell which emails are unread?  Think Apple could have figured this one out.
Any ideas anyone?

So I did something from my gmail account that seemed to fix it.  Wish I could remember what.  Thanks for looking into it as much as you did Glenn!
I am starting to realize, though, that apple is really selling what google has been giving out for free for quite some time now.  I am really starting to wonder if I screwed up by buying an iphone and deciding to switch over.  I'll never ever buy another pc, but google's running circles around apple on this cloud stuff.  Seems like apple wants to charge a subscription for just about everything, and even then requires that what ever you are sharing be created on an ios5 device.  Extremely limiting.
Keeping my fingers crossed that the next two years of my contract isn't as counterproductive as this first week.
Thanks for all your concern, though!!

        Welcome to the Verizon family, ivpacks! I regret to learn that your alarms didn't work. I also regret that there is a problem with the messages. Have you tried the alarm again? Does it still not work? For instance, just set the alarm for a couple of minutes away to ensure that the alarm goes off.
    When you send a text, do you get an error? If you power the phone off/on, do the messages send? This particular issue is expecting a software update to resolve the issue with texts and picture messages.
    I believe that you have chosen a great device, but keep in mind that there is a 14 day exchange period. If you exchange for the same make/model, you will not pay the restocking fee.
    If you do exchange for a different make/model, there is a $35.00 restocking fee.

  • Yahoo Mail: New Inbox Messages Are Not Downloaded To iPhone

    Keywords: iPhone, Yahoo, mail, push, slow, broken, stopped, inbox, new messages, IMAP
    Problem Description:
    I just went through an entire day of restarting, restoring, reconfiguring my iPhone after the Mail App stopped downloading new messages from my Yahoo Inbox. Other folders could receive new messages, but not the Inbox.
    After trying to get help from Apple support and Yahoo, I kept searching online. I managed to find a solution that worked and I thought I'd share this here in case anyone else has run into this problem, which I believe is a Yahoo issue, not an Apple one.
    Solution:
    From a web browser do the following
    - Log into your Yahoo Mail account via mail.yahoo.com
    - Create a new folder in Yahoo Mail (I called it "Archive")
    - Move ALL MESSAGES from your Inbox to this new folder ("Archive" in my case)
    - Send yourself a test message
    After performing these steps (essentially archiving your Inbox to another folder), you should start receiving Yahoo Inbox messages again on your iPhone. After I performed the above procedure, Yahoo Mail has been more responsive than ever before on the iPhone - even faster than my old BlackBerry...
    It seems as though the Yahoo IMAP server gets really slow or malfunctions when either there is a corrupt message or the Inbox gets too large (not sure which). It would be really cool if someone from Yahoo (or Apple) could confirm this.
    I'd be interested to see if anyone else has run into this issue and if this procedure solves the issue for you... I know for me, I will be periodically Archiving my Inbox to another folder to keep things operating smoothly.
    Good Luck!

    Hmm.. this seems to work..
    I emptied both "Spam" and "Trash" folder on a browser. After that, new emails seem to push to iPhone right away now. Let's see how long this will last..
    Does that mean that I would have to make sure there's no email in these two folders to make push work at all time?

  • Mail 3, smtp, IMAP: sent messages are not saved on server

    Hello,
    I had problems using Mail 3 after I upgraded to Leopard, so I used Thunderbird for the time being. With the update 10.5.1 I tried again: most problems solved BUT: sent messages are not saved on the server in mailbox "Sent".
    Some background: I deleted the folder "<User>/Library/Mail" and "<User>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist" and configured Mail from scratch.
    To be sure: I still have Thunderbird installed, and when I send with Thunderbird: a copy is placed in "Sent".
    Another thing I noticed: it takes more than a minute to send from Mail 3 and a few seconds when I send from Thunderbird. I have another Macbook Pro with 10.5.0 installed: same problem with sending.
    Any help is appreciated.
    rene

    Well, be stumped I did all that, but to be sure, I did it again:
    I have a lot folders with subfolders and they are shown under my account name.
    I created a new folder "test" in my IMAP account and designated it to be the new "Sent" folder. It replaces my previous Sent folder in the group Inbox, Drafts, Trash. My previous Sent folder now appears under my account name as a "normal" folder.
    I send a message and the Activity monitor says: +"Delivering message: copying message"+. After a minute Mail is done. I check my (new) "Sent" folder and it's empty. I double check in webmail: it's empty.
    So I go to the Finder and look in my IMAP folder: <user>/Library/Mail/<IMAP-account>/test.imapmbox and there is no folder "Messages", only Info.plist.
    Then I try to move a message to the "Sent' folder: for a minute the Activity moinor says: Copying messages: copying message" and then Mail prompts: +"The message "testing" could not be+
    +The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+.
    So it looks like Mail has a problem with the default "Sent" folder: it cannot copy messages to that folder at all! Aha!
    But then I try to move a message to a "normal" IMAP folder: same thing! Mail cannot copy to any folder!
    In both instances Mail says: +"The message "..." could not be be moved to the mailbox "..."+
    +The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+
    Last thing: I try to move a message to a folder in the same account again. But in the process I quit Mail. I open Mail again and Mail is performing pending operations: copying message. After a while Mail prompts: +"Operation could not be completed. (MFMessageErrorDomain error 1028.)"+ and crashes... I open Mail again and it tries to peform pending operations. Again: an error message and Mail crashes. This keeps going on so I delete the whole account and set it up again. Nothing's changed...
    I can receive and send, but sent messages are not copied to the "Sent" folder and I cannot move messages around within a IMAP account. But TADA!!!: I can move messages from account to account.

    My messages are not being sent. Can someone help?

    Alan, how you're doing?
    You already know issue is not with the email account, since it's working on another devices.
    Now you have to define whether it is a user specific or system wide issue.
    Create another user account through system prefereces > users and groups. Try to set up account on the new test user.
    If it works, get back to your main account, open mail application, go to menu > Window > open activity and connection doctor (Make sure you organize these tools in a way that allows you to see both mail windows and activity/ connection doctor... Now, try to send a test email and you will see where the issue is.
    Then...
    Go to mail preferences > select your email account > click the - button to remove it and + to readd account.
    Fill your full name, email address and password. Now, hold down option key and press continue... Insert incoming and outgoing information.
    Any doubts, feel free to ask.

  • Out of Office Messages are Not Sent Out

    Hi there,
    I have an issue with Outlook's Out of Office feature. The Out of Office messages are not sent out (to both internal and external contacts) although it has been already turned on. Only one user is having this particular issue. 
    I've attempted these steps but the issue still persists.
    a) Turning on OOO via OWA
    b) Deleting the current profile and creating a new profile
    Could anybody help me in this?
    Regards,

    Hi Vinod,
    You issue might be related to this:
    "By default, the out-of-office reply to Internet recipients (external senders) is turned off. Many administrators do not allow out-of-office replies to be sent outside the Exchange Server organization, so that unauthorized people do not
    know when users are out of the office. "
    You might want to follow the steps in below KB article to turn on out-of-office replies to the Internet or contact your administrator to check so:

  • Lion IMAP account - Sent messages are not sync

    Hi all,
    this question is not strictly related to Lion, as this "problem" sussist even in the old Leopard, however I was believing it woul have been fixed with the new version.
    I've my Mac Book Pro with all my email configured as IMAP.
    This is great, I see my Inbox with the same exact copy of the message available online. When I send a message, this is stored in the sent mailbox, and this is great too.
    But why all the old messages are not seen in the sent mailbox as well?
    It doesn't make sense to me, and there is any option that make a difference. I was initially believing the "keep a local copy of the message" was affecting this.
    But the most frustrating thing is that at the very bottom of the left aside there is a second entry, one for each account, which essentially show me a sort of "raw" account with all the folders and labelled messages as the online structure. Is it possible to get rid of that too?
    Many thanks
    Andrea

    I've had the same problem for a while, even before Leopard. It definitely occurs more often when sending bigger messages (i.e. with attachments), and on slower connections (cell card, or even shaky wifi). Always unsettling when I notice it, and seriously frustrating when a Send fails and I've forgotten to Save as Draft.

  • Some incoming messages are not received in outlook

    Using Iphone 4.
    Most of the time I receive messages from a POP account on the IPhone and on my Outlook2010 client. Once in a while I receive one or more on the IPhone and they never show up in Outlook.
    This is DNSExist Squirrel mail server. The messages are not removed from the server account after they are received by the iPhone. Outlook is setup to remove the messages 1 day after they are received and appears to be doing so.
    These messages come from different senders.
    The Settings.Mail.Account.Advanced.DeleteFromServer setting is set to "Never".
    Some of the messages appear to be flagged as received by IPhone in a way that make Outlook treat them like they have already been received.
    I will post on DNSExist also

    I believe that the messages sill show up eventually.
    While I've no experience using Outlook with POP3, I have experience with Outlook 2011 on Mac and 2010 on Windows with Microsoft Exchange. Both OS X and Windows Outlook appear to have a bug whereby they defer display of new messages for a seemingly random amount of time (even if you tell it to "Send/Receive Messages" by clicking on the item in the ribbon or from the menu). The messages are on the server, and, if you monitor the messages in the activity bar at the bottom of the Outlook window, it seems to see the messages and transfer them, but they simply don't show up in the application.
    Some messages appear immediately, others don't. We've not been able to determine precisely what differentiates those that do and those that don't. Some messages don't appear in Outlook for hours after they post on the server.
    This is widely observed throughout the company, and home users report similar behavior (again, I can't tell if they are using POP3 or not).
    We've reported the bug to Microsoft.
    Your iPhone is doing the right thing. I know of no current fix or work-around for the bug in Microsoft Outlook.

  • Read and deleted messages are not being updated on my iphone 4s

    I have a new user who is having a synchronization issue with his iPhone.  When he reads emails on his desktop, the messages on his iPhone 4s show as being unread.  Also, when he delets messages on his desktop email, messages are not being deleted on his iPhone.  I have never seen this issue before and do not know what to do.  Please help.  Thank you!

    The end user just started with the company a week ago and he is using Outlook 2010.  We never had this issue in the past.  Active sync has been enabled on user’s account and he was able to configure the firm's Exchange email profile on his iPhone.  Although he is able to receive messages on his mobile device, it does not sync with his desktop email.  I asked him to delete the profile on the device and create it again, but he wants to do that as a last option.
