Old emails register as new mail in N900 with NM

Hi there..
I wonder if anyone can help with a very annoying problem.. I am using NM with three different accounts loaded (2 x POP3 and 1 x Gmail).. One of the POP accounts is my main mailbox and has roughly 100-200 e-mails there-in..
My N900 is constantly flagging very old emails as 'new' and 'unread' e-mail.. This is very frustrating as usually it is the oldest mails, so I have to scroll all the way down and re-open each mail.. Then, the next day, they/or others will come through again as 'new' and 'unread'.. This is totally random from NM point of view..
This only started happening when the number of mails in my inbox became larger, over time. I do not have this problem (yet) on my other accounts which have far smaller inbox's..
Today I cleaned 100 mails off my server to try and resolve the problem by making the inbox smaller, but then I got 20 old mails registered as 'new' and 'unread'.!
I would like to be able to switch OFF the 'Sync with Inbox' option but this is not possible.. This would allow push e-mail to my phone and then I could download to my PC manually and set the emails not to stay on my server.. This way I could choose immediately whether to keep or delete mails from my phone inbox but still have them stored on my PC.. This would keep my phone inbox smaller and save data costs of syncing with inbox.. I am under the understanding that this is how it works with Blackberry Push Email..
PS : My NM setting for 'update automatically' is not selected.. My individual accounts are set to 'send and receive - as soon as possible'..
Apart from this problem, NM is working great on my phone and has been since I started using it a few months back.. 
Thanks..

Thanks - reconfiguring my account to connect by "exchange" and not IMAP seems to have done the trick.  The instructions on how to accomplish this did not work in my case, however when I logged into BIS website and deleted my old account and added the account back again it automatically set it up as an exchange account.  I did need to restart my blackberry for it to actually start working (not clear why.)
One word of warning: I tried to configure my reply to address to be a different e-mail, but this did not work (I could no longer send e-mail).  This may be prohibited by my exchange server (or perhaps just not possible with any exchange server.)  I worked around this by adding the other e-mail account and setting it as the default so all new e-mails will appear to come from this address, though this will need to be manually set for a "reply".
(I use a dummy e-mail address which is passed through a spam filter and then forwarded to my actual exchange account.)

  • How do i change my iCloud email from an old email to a new email?

    How do i change my iCloud email from an old email to a new email?

    If you already enable the iCloud mail you can't change it.
    If you don't, you can choose a username for your @icloud.com account.

    How do you update it? Basically what has happened my password was disabled for "security reasons" on sunday (21/10/12), so i tried to reset it, but for some reason i couldnt get into my old email (probably because i havent used it for 2 years), so i read on here i could swap it to a new email that i currently use (which is what i have done) ive swapped everythin over to it (facetime, iCloud etc) but keeps coming up with old email and asking for password

  • I changed my e-mail address and password.  Went to buy an app and the old email appears so new PW won't work

    I changed my e-mail address and password.  Went to purchase an app and the old e-mail appears, needless to say the new password won't work and I forgot old PW

    All App purchases are tied to your email address, because that is your apple ID.    If you cannot access your old email account, you may lose those apps.  You can call apple for support and see if they can help you. 

  • GMAIL IMAP: Mail app on iPhone, random old emails showing as new in inbox.

    Hi all,
    I've tried to get an answer to this elsewhere, hopefully someone here can shed some light on my problem.
    I just switched both my GMAIL accounts from POP to IMAP: using the web interface, everything's fine; using the Mail app on my desktop, everything's fine; however, using the Mail app on my iPhone, one of the accounts is fine, but the other account only show a random smattering of email from between 2005 and 2007 as the "newest" emails. Now, new emails come in fine and dandy but as soon as there are fewer than 25, WHAM!, these random group starts showing up in the inbox. It's annoying as all get out. I've tried deleting the account from my iPhone and setting it up from scratch, to no avail. If both accounts were acting this way I'd chalk it up to either an error on my end, or some tick between GMAIL and my phone but these seem not to be the case. So, how about it? Any insight out there?
    thanks,
    christian

    Yes that is normal. The sync between your gmail inbox and the all mail folder in gmail is not immediate, so you will have an emal that will appear as unread in the all mail folder, yet you did read it already in the gmail inbox. There is no way around this nagging issue at present.
    I cannot comment on the other point you raise as uses/behavior for sharing one's computer vary greatly. If you have privacy issues and still share your computer with others, you may want to create a guest user profile and have others use this guest user profile when using your computer. That way they will be able to use a browser, or create a document and so on and so forth, but will be prevented from seeing the data/files/folders and applications - the way you have set them up - you see when you are logged in.
    To create a guest account go to system preferences>accounts
    hope this helps

  • How to transfer my old email database to new computer

    I could not find the Database of Mail, where is exactly mail database located in Mac Hard drive, do we have to unhide like windows?

  • Possible to place old emails after a new install (10.5) ???

    I've recently just installed 10.5 on a new internal drive..... starting from scratch minus the applications transfered using "migration assistant". I'd like to be able to apply (or move) all of my existing email from the 10.4 drive installed to the new 10.5 drives "Mail".
    Is it possible to embed them into the new mail under a newly created account?
    Would I have to transfer the previous account form old drive? Would that include all old messages?
    .... sure would be nice to retain all my old emails!

    Chris,
    The method I have given is an "all or nothing" proposition. In other words, it replaces whatever currently exists with the old one. Any new emails will be over-written. Do not use this method if you want to "merge" your email.
    There's not a really clean way to "merge" emails folders, but there are a few options from which you could choose.
    One option would be to move your current "Mail" folder (in your HOME "Library" folder) to a safe location; perhaps your "Documents" folder would do. It might also be a good idea to move the current plist file to the same location.
    You would then place your old "Mail" folder in the Library folder, and proceed to launch Mail. Now, you would have access to all your old email, and it would be converted to the new Mail formats. Your objective here would be to create a new "mailbox" folder, and to place any messages you want to "archive" into that folder. Make sure you gather anything you want to keep from all of your mailboxes: "Inbox," "Sent," etc. The idea is to collect everything into one folder within the Mail application.
    If you now go and look inside the "Mail" directory in the "Library" folder, you should be able to locate the "mbox" directory containing the contents of your new mailbox. Look in the "Mailboxes" folder inside the Mail folder. Find the "mbox" directory (it looks more like a file, but it is really a standard folder) for your mailbox, then drag it out to your Desktop.
    You could now put your existing "Mail" folder and plist file back in place, then launch Mail and use File>Import Mailbox to import the mbox file sitting on your Desktop. The above method would be good to use if you have (or had in the prior installation) multiple email accounts, multiple "custom" mailbox folders, or both.
    If, instead, you know that there are only one or two mailbox folders from the old installation that you'll want to import into the new, it might be easiest to simply import them as they are. If, for example, you only want your old "Inbox," launch Mail in 10.5 as it is right now, then use the "Import" dialogue to navigate to the corresponding "mbox" folder in the Tiger installation. Easy.

  • 1000's of old emails keep dumping into mail

    Help. My wife has an iBook with Mac OS X Tiger. Last November, I bought her an iPhone and set up her mail account on the iPhone. Since then, 1000's of old emails keep dumping into her laptop Mail inbox. She will take an hour to delete them, but then a week later suddenly they are all back. I deleted the email account on the iPhone in case that had anything to do with it. I don't know if this is a Apple Mail problem or a mail provider issue. I've checked the settings on her mail and can't see anything that affects it. I have the new Mac with Leopard and have never had any problems with mail with my previous iMAC or this one but here laptop is another matter.
    Any suggestions?

    Which protocol is your wife using with Mail - POP, or IMAP? If it's POP, once the emails appear again, right click on the mailbox in question and select 'Get Info'. Ensure "Show messages: All messages on POP server" is selected, and see if the emails in question are listed. If so, click the 'Remove From Server' button at the bottom on the right.
    If not, it appears this is likely an issue with Mail not removing the messages completely when deleted.

  • Getting old email on my new mac

    First, I apologize if this is covered elsewhere. I bought a macbook last night. I've moved over most of my stuff from my old imac (running 10.4) to the new mac boo (running 10.5). I've got the mail account set up, but how do I get the old emails over to the new machine.
    Thanks for any help.

    quit mail on the new computer and move the folder homedirectory/library/mail AND the file homedirectory/library/com.apple.mail.plist to the corresponding locations on the new computer. delete the already existing folder and file on the new computer first. then when you start Mail it will look just like it did on the old computer including all accounts and messages.

  • HT5787 How can I change an old email to a new one? For some reason my old email comes up on my iPhone - and I don't get access to change to my new email which I have on my iCloud account on my pc. My AppleID works on my pc, but not on my iPhone!

    How can I change an old email adress on my iCloud accout to my new email (the same as on my pc), as long as my Apple ID works on my pc but not on my iPhone?

    You would have to change it back to your old email address in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" on your devices. After you changed it back to your old address and deactivated "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) you could change your Apple ID to your new address again. Now it should wok on all your devices.

  • Problem syncing old emails from Outlook to Mail using Exchange 2010

    HI,
    I recently switched from Outlook 2011 to Lion Apple Mail.  I am set up for email through my comany's exchange server.  When I set up Mail, all of my folders showed up on my Mail account successfully but it will only sync back the last 60 days of emails.  I know these old emails do reside on the server.  Is there potentially a setting on mail to adjust how back it syncs?  If not, can someone suggest a work-around.  I would only have to do this once.
    Thanks

    When transferring a locally stored message that was recieved a year ago to a server stored mailbox with an IMAP account - doing this today for example, the recieved date for the message is changed to today's date - at least with an email client used to access the account.

  • Old email address to new itunes account

    have new iphone and want to set up new itunes account using old email address that is linked to home itunes account - how do I change so I can still use my old email address and set up new itunes account? thanks!

    Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
    All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
    To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID.

  • Cannot get old email messages onto new Z10

    I have a bb9800 and am trying to get the old email messages off of it onto the new Z10. The 9800 only had the telus.blackberry.net email address and on the Z10 I have the company email. Is there a way to get those emails over other than forwarding them all individually

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    If you mean that you wish to have your old @telus emails visible on your Z10, the answer is no. That email was provided by BIS, and BB10 does not use BIS. Hence, those email addresses cannot be configured to a BB10 device. So, the only way to have those emails on the BB10 device is via forwarding from the @telus email account over to one that indeed can be integrated to the Z10.
    BTW -- you need to migrate off of that @telus email address, as it will be going away. They are allowing one year of auto-forwarding (which you need to configure...contact Telus for assistance), after which that @telus email address will cease to exist.
    Good luck!

  • Email StartPoint: Process new mail only if attachment is found.

    Hi,
    On each new mail my process is getting invoked. It downloads the attachment and save it. But when mail with no attachment is received it send back an error message to the sender. Also the all processed mail are getting deleted from the mail server (mail is configured on my personal domain).
    So I need that process should invoked only when the attachment is found and after processing it, delete that mail. If no attachment is found then leave it as it is.
    Pls help.
    Abhinav

    Email Receive Activity has an option to filter emails based on Attachment MIME type.
    You can create a continuous running process which looks for emails with attachments. If email successfully retrieved, invoke the primary process, otherwise
    loop back and wait for next email.
    Make sense?
