New messages being marked as unread (before I've read them!)

Starting this morning some of my new, unread messages are being marked as unread by Mail.app.
Any ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem, for the last few days. I don't know if it's Mail for Snow Leopard, Mail for iOS 4, mail for iOS 3.2, or Gmail that's the problem. I'll turn things off at some of my devices and try to narrow it down, then report back.

Opened emails marked as unread when I have read them?

I have an ipad mini. Why are all of my emails marked as unread when I have read them all. This has only happened in the last two days!

On my iPad with OS7 I had a red dot showing 1 unread email which would not go away. I cleared it using this procedure: Open Mail - Inbox - Edit - Mark All - Mark as unread. Then straight back to: Edit - Mark All - Mark as Read. Works for me; see how it goes. Best of luck!

Sent messages are being marked as "unread"

Ever since installing OS X 10.8.3, both my iMac and MBP have been leaving sent messages marked as "unread". Not all outgoing messages are being left in this unread state, but most are. Any ideas on why this might be happening and how to fix it? Is anybody else having the problem? A search of the forums shows some old material that might be related, but I don't see anything that has any answers.
TIA for you help.

This stopped happening as mysteriously as it started for me. The only change made on my end is that I added some seemingly unrelated filter Rules - around the same time (i can't be entirely certain if it stopped before or after the Rule changes) the proble with sent messages being marked as unread stopped. I doubt that the Rules actually had a direct effect, though perhaps it altered the structure of memory enough to stop the bug from occurring (something which I've seen many times in my 40 years of programming).

I have a question regarding emails being marked as unread when syncing with an exchange account.

I have a question regarding emails being marked as unread when syncing with an exchange account.
In the evening I can see I have 10 unread emails on my exchange account. I leave them unread. The following day, at work, I view and read all my mails from today and yesterday, so that I have NO unread messages. When I then sync my iphone it marks only the mails from today as read but, leaves all the mails from yesterday marked unread. Only solution so far is for me to go through the mails on my iphone one at a time for them to be marked as read.
My mail account is set to sync 1 month back.
I have had this problem on all the iphones I have had.
I currently have an iPhone 5 and my software is up to date.
What am I doing wrong?

Hey kabsl,
Thanks for the post.
What type of email account is attached to your BlackBerry Z10? (POP3, IMAP, Exchange). Also have you tried removing and re-adding the email account to test?
Is this email account only setup on one computer or several computer?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Email being marked as unread after a reply in 2013 Pro Plus

Starting this week, anytime I reply to an email from Outlook 2013, the email is being marked as unread. This causes my phone, ipad, and other devices to show that I have an unread message when I do not.

Hi,
Do you have any add-in installed in your Outlook? If so, we may try to start Outlook in safe mode to see if this issue is caused by nay problematic add-in. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook.exe /safe and press Enter. If this issue would be gone in safe mode, please go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable suspicious add-in to resolve the issue.
If this issue continues in Outlook safe mode, we may also try to login to webmail interface and check if this issue can be reproduced from there.
Please let me know the result.
Regards,

A message is marked as unread - so why doesn't the Inbox count show it?

There is a message marked as unread (the little blue ball) in an IMAP account's inbox.
So why doesn't the Inbox show a (1) next to it to indicate there are unread messages?

Thanks for your replies, people.
I actually just created this IMAP account about a week ago.
Yesterday I deleted a separate, POP3 account and recreated it as IMAP. At that time everything got re-indexed (at least the activity window was going on forever about rebuilding and reindexing this and that).
Rebuilding from the Mail menu doesn't help.
I might try removing and re-adding the IMAP account or the entire re-index later if I find this behavior annoys me too much. Will that lose my replied-to indicators?
So anyway, what I am seeing is not normal? If you go to a message and mark it "unread" does your Inbox for that account go up by 1?
Thanks,
doug

My text messages are deleting before I can read them

My text messages delete before I can read them. I can see that someone attempted to text my phone but the message isn't there. Anyone else have this issue?

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

TS4002 Having upgraded to 10.8 some emails are disappearing before I can read them.

Having upgraded to 10.8 some emails are disappearing before I can read them.
They are present for about a second, display as notified, but are not going to junk or Trash.
The problem doesn't affect all emails and seems to be restricted to some senders.

What ype of account is this (IMAP / POP)?
Perhaps it's setup on another system (computer, mobile, etc.) and downloading there, while removing from the server. You may also have email rules moving it automatically or marking as SPAM.
Changing your password may seem drastic but will ensure your current setup is the only one with access to downloading/archival of the email, and you can then eliminate other possibilities as mentioned above.

How do I remove an app from my IPad? I downloaded an app called unroll me and it is now removing incoming emails before I an read them!

How do I remove a hidden app from my IPad? I downloaded an app called "Unrollme" and it is now removing incoming emails before I can read them! There is no app listed on the IPad, so I cNt remove it normally.

try this: go to settings, general, usage, show all apps. Does it show up there? Try a search for it. Where did you get this app from as I can't find it in the App Store?

Messages being marked unread during search

When I do a search of all subfolders of email, often summary files are rebuilt during the search. When that happens, some messages (not all, seems random) are marked "unread" here and there throughout the hierarchical structure of my subfolders.
This does not happen in all folders, so the behavior is erratic, but happens every time a search results in summary file rebuild. How do I report this bug?

You can report bugs here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/index.cgi?
I assume the search subfolders emails that are marked as 'unread' were originally marked as 'read' and not emails you had missed, so unread already - bold?

Email messages being marked as already read

I have my outlook exchange server email configured on my iphone through the pop mail option (my IT department won't let me use the exchange or IMAP options). This works great except for one small issue - my emails on my PC at work are downloaded to my outlook as already read, even if i have not read them on my iphone. this becomes an issue because i tend to miss emails that have come in because they are not marked unread. there doesn't seem to be a setting on the iphone to leave messages unread after downloading them. any advice on how to solve this issue? thanks!

This can be quite easily fixed if the iphone has a toggle to leave a copy of the email on the server. This will allow you to download the email from
another program like Outlook etc and you wont need mapi. Outlook 2003 has this toggle option under advanced settings.
The issue with this is the email on the server never gets "read" so occasionally you need to go directly onto your mail server and clear out the mail.
Please join me in requesting this as an enhancement request.

Why are messages being marked as junk when I have the addresses in my Contacts list?

Almost all incoming messages are marked as junk in two of my accounts. I have 3 other mail accounts without this problem and work normally.
I've added the address to my contacts list and turned off or deleted all junk filters and options. I've rebuilt the Global index and none of this has helped. A few messages have gone directly to my junk folders for these accounts but mostly they stay in the Inbox.
I'm sure its probably someplace in my profile but I don't know what it could be or how to find out.
Thunderbird version 24.6.0
Mac OSX 10.9.4
Thanks.

All they seem to do is furnish the software you can download for Windows OS only. I'm using Mac. They may have something that filters their local email accounts but I've never set up the email account I have with them in Thunderbird. I'll check that account and see if there are any filters..
I have 3 different email accounts set up, two for 2 websites and gmail. One of the website accounts works just fine. The others have the problem.
Thanks

Using Mail - items being marked as read before I have read them

Hi
How do I stop Mail marking an item as read as soon as I move the cursor away from it in the ail listing? Just because it is shown in the preview pane does not mean I have read it yet.
In Outlook I can change a setting so that items are not marked a s read until I double click them to open them fully and read them - how do I do the same in Mail?
Also if I delete an item from the list, the cursor moves UP to the previous item (I have ordered the list so that newest mail is at the top. I then start reading from the top down..). Can I change a setting somewhere to move the cursor the other way after processing an email?
Many thanks

The only way to have it not be marked as read is to turn the preview pane off (then you double-click each message to open/read it).

I am using iCloud email and my emails are randomly disappearing before I can read them. They are not in any folders on my iPhone and I am having to call apple to have the last 7 days of email sent to me in order to retrieve what is being lost.

I am using an apple email account and my emails are randomly disappearing before I get a chance to read them. They are not anywhere on my device, not trash, junk etc. The only solution from apple has been to resend me the past 7 days of email in order for me to retrieve the missing emails. This has taken me hours on the phone with apple support with no solution. I just don't know what to do. They have gone over the settings with me and nothing has solved the problem. I don't know where to start since it is happening on all my devices.

Control-click on the background of the view all pages window and select "Preview Calendar" from the contextual menu.
You can also save the pdf as a file to compare to the printed calendar. If the two names are visible in the pdf file then the printed copy should show them. Contact Apple for a refund. Apple Print Products - Apple Store (U.S.)

If my desktop email is open iCloud picks and chooses emails to delete before I even read them

my emails are disappearing and it's driving me nuts. i hear the bing that i have email but when i go to check and open it it'll automatically be deleted and i can't figure out why. this never happened on mobile me and seems to be a new thing because of icloud. currently wishing i'd never switched.

yeah, use IMAP instead of POP3. you have your outlook set to remove the messages from the server after you check them. when you later try to look at the emails on the iphone they will no longer be there because your outlook removed them from the server.
