Not automatically marking e-mail messages as read in outlook 2010

Our office has a user with an assistant set as a delegate in Outlook
(Exchange 2010 environment). Currently, if the assistant views an email in the
user's Mailbox, it is set to "Read" status, which can lead to confusion as to
which items have or have not been read by the mailbox owner. Is there a
setting (both users have Outlook 2010) that will stop items viewed
by the assistant from being set to "Read" status?
http://www.office-outlook.com/out.../m/514421/ suggests a way, but that means the assistant has to mark her e-mails read manually(Ctrl + Enter)
Is there a way, it can be done so that if the assistant(delegate) just goes to her manager's mail, it will be unread as long as she does not mark them read manually(Ctrl + Enter).
But, for her mailbox if the focus is on a message for five seconds, it is marked as read.
So, can the option to mark items as read be disabled for manager's mailbox, but not for the assistant? Does Exchange 2010 allow this?

 
I can set a per folder reading pane in Outlook 2013. Its a little weird, you have to sort of toggle it off and then reenable it again. I assume its the same for 2010, but I could be wrong. I have not tested it with a delegated mailbox however, you may have
to do the same thinng and toggle it back and forth.
Might be worth asking in the Outlook Forum to see if its even possible

  • Conky new_mails not updating when local mail messages are read

    Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this, but I'm new.
    I recently installed Arch Linux on my eeePC 1005HA laptop with dwm, conky, and postfix (I followed the wiki to install postfix to send local mail).  I'm using xsetroot to replace the "dwm-5.2" text in the upper right corner with conky-provided information about time, CPU usage, etc., and want to use it to see how many unread local mail messages are in my /var/mail/spool/USER spool.  Using ${new_mails} seems to be the way to go, but the value reported by ${new_mails} only ever increases when a message is sent to the spool, never decreasing when new messages are read or deleted until conky is restarted.  I'm only using the "mail" program to send and receive mail to the local spool for system notifications like "your battery is low, save things now".
    I've seen other users use ${new_mails} apparently fine, but googling for this problem shows other people having a similar problem.  However, I haven't found any forum, wiki, or article about how to fix this without using messy workarounds, and the conky IRC channel didn't know how to fix this, though they've heard of similar problems with mutt.  Any ideas?

    Bump!  I've tried reinstalling conky and postfix/mail, and not much seems to work.  Is conky passé now in favor of something else?

  • Attachments not automatically viewable on mail messages

    Hiya, I have recently updated to Mavericks & at the same time updated Adobe Reader.
    Before the updates I could do this...
    Receive an email from my suppliers with a PDF invoice, I would just click on the message & the email with the PDF invoice would both be open & viewable from the mail browser, I could also type in the search box with a product code & the email invoice would be shortlisted so I could find it easly, this product code could be found in seach due to the PDF already being open & readable in my mail box, It was great!
    Now I receive the emails with a 'question mark' box for the PDF or a PDF symbol, I know I can quickview it ( in 3 different ways) but this is slow & I cannot search my email list for purchased products as it cannot read an unopen document
    I have tried preferences on Mail, Reader & Preview to see if there is anything, even a terminal entry of....
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool no
    that I found posted but no joy.
    Any help would be greatfully received!
    Thanks,
    Marcus.

  • Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix

    Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix.
    That did not happen before.
    It happened only on certain pages with Safari, like the google news feed which did not display pix.
    However, this new mail problem is really disturbing.
    I checked Little Snitch and port 80 is open.
    I checked java pref.
    I am at a loss.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix.
    That indicates that your Mail preferences are setup to not display remote images in email messages. You should check Mail->Preferences->Viewing and make surre the box to 'Display remote images in HTML messages' is checked.
    I checked java pref.
    Java has nothing to do with Mail, or displaying images in it or any browser.

  • HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

  • How do I get Apple Mail to NOT automatically check for new messages?

    Under General, I have it set to Manually, under each Gmail account (2) I have UNchecked the "include when automatically checking for new messages" under "Advanced", but it still checks automatically. Are there other settings that effect this behavior? I want it to ONLY check manually.

    It seems to be impossible to stop the automatic push - I found another email client that permits me to access gmail via pop3, and that permits several things that Apple Mail is deficient in (as far as I'm concerned) - permits delete of email on Gmail without having it deleted on my laptop, and does not permit autpmatic push. I need access sto ALL my email under MY organization structure on my laptop, even when I do not have internet access, and Apple mail does not permit me to manage things my way (neither does gmail).

  • Mark Sent Mail Items as Read

    A minor irritation I know, but is there a way using rules or scripts to have all sent messages automatically marked as read in Mail 3.0? I really only want to know how many unread incoming messages I have. I use Mail to collect for 2 IMAP mailboxes, so would want to apply any rule or script to sent messages for both of these, but not messages in the inboxes sent between the accounts.

    This is the Tiger forum you will be able to contact people who have Mail 3.0 if you go to the Leopard forum.

  • How do you 'mark all' mail messages and then delete in Iphone 5?

    I cannot do a mass delete of my emails any more in iphone 5 - how do you get the edit functions back onto the screen once you have 'marked all' the messages?

    As Chgrist1 said, that is how it works. Having looked as how Outlook stores mail, and everything else. It is a wonder anything ever comes out that is useable. PST files are a mess. First thing they do is pull the email apart and store header, body and attachments is three different places.
    You will also find (most likely) that your accounts in Outlook were POP and the default in Thunderbird is IMAP. merging IMAP and POP files and folders is fraught with difficulties and dangers. It would be a brave developer that tried that in an import.
    In the case of IMAP all your mail is one the server, so import is not all that important. However copying a gigabyte or two of of outlook mail into your imap server could exhaust your available message storage space there and cause the import to fail completely.
    So If you want to do what your saying, first confirm that your not using IMAP mail. Otherwise your experience is most likely going to be exceedingly poor.
    If you are using POP mail, then changing the setting in your pop account to cause it to use the global inbox will make a single mail account appear, "Local Folder", with your outlook mail as a sub folder of that.
    Dragging a folder from the imported outlook tree to Local folders is not difficult, as long as you remember that folders hang of other folders, so your dragging them to a parent, not a position on the screen you like.

  • Mail Badge Does Not Update # of Unread Mail Messages

    My iPhone is stubbornly refusing to update my number of MobileMe unread mail messages. For some reason, it is displaying 6 more unread messages than there actually are. No if I have no unread messages, the badge reads 6. If I have 5 unread messages, the badge reads 11.
    I access MobileMe via my iMac, iPad, and iPhone (iOS 4.1). My iMac and iPad aren't having this issue. Any suggestions about how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Did you mean the connected Microsoft account used to Mail APP and all Windows 8.1 computer?
    If yes, it's indeed as what you describe. Since Windows 8.1 Mail app has been designed such a way that, it will keep you in logged in mode all the time so that you will be able to check your emails without logging in to the webmail. In other words, it's
    always keep session. Therefore, it wouldn't ask credential to confirm.
    However, this is not only depending on Mail App but also related with mail type security. Based on my test, Adding an Exchange email account, it will prompt to check password setting at once if you change password. Adding an Hotmail account, nothing happened
    after change the password.

  • Mail messages immediately read

    Hi there,
    I decided to give Mail a try.  Seems OK, but when a message is selected, even in passing, it immediately becomes 'read' - without any delay.
    So if I use the mouse to select any message, then use the keyboard to scroll through to another message, all the unread mail between the two becomes read.  Not exactly helpful.
    How can I change this behaviour?
    M
    thanks
    Sean

    Hi Sean,
    From your post I see that when you're selecting messages using the arrows on the keyboard the messages are being marked as read, and you want to be able to scroll without selecting the messages.  While the action of marking a message as read after selecting cannot be changed, you can scroll using the scrolling gesture on the trackpad of your MacBook Pro, or use the scroll bars on the side of the column.  That way you can avoid marking each email as read when scrolling through.

    Take care,

  • How NOT to save iCloud Mail messages sent from iPhone?

    Using iCloud Mail on a MacBook / Safari, e-mail messages are NOT saved - the relevant box in Preferences is unchecked. However they are saved in the Sent folder when sent from an iPhone. Is there any way they are NOT saved either way?

    Again, ON MY IPHONE only has Sent option. There's no way you can set the Sent mailbox to any Trash anywhere.

  • Not automatically importing from Mail

    Ever since I got on Leopard, my ical has not automatically imported the invites from mail regardless of the setting I have it on. It was "supposed to be fixed in 10.5.1 and then .2, but never happened. Anyone else having this trouble?

    I am having this problem too, running 10.5.2. I also have the problem that when I go to download appointments from the Apple Store concierge system, Firefox will not download it as a .ics file, but turns it into some whacked mpeg that is not a movie and cannot be opened.

  • How Do I Automatically Print Incoming Mail Message

    I would like to automatically print selected incoming mail messages. How do I set that up?
    Mail 2.0.7

    Thanks

    Well, I was going to suggest using a mail rule.  If you have already tried that I would think that the rule you have created didn't match the messages.  I think if you still need help, you will probably need to post some more information about the type of messages you are receiving and the rules you have tried, then someone may be able to assist.
    There are many guides to using rules in Apple Mail, I'm assuming you are familiar with them, but if not, Googling "apple mail rules" will bring up some examples.
    Hope that helps.

  • S/MIME Sign & Cipher not working in e-mail messages.

    Hello,
    I've installed the S/MIME packages in my Curve 8520. When I write a new PIN message I can choose the Cipher mode (Cipher / Sign & Cipher / Sign, etc), but in e-mail message I can't, I just be abble to choose the account source, but not Cipher options. I've tested with the same SIM card in a Torch 9800 and similarly. Its a card problem or a BB problem?
    Where I could configure that? I know that is possible but I don't know how ...
    Any ideas??
    Thank you very much.
