Read email shows as unread on iPhone

Read email shows as unread on iPhone

As Munas said, if the email account isn't using IMAP it won't work.
Here in the States, Comcast is the main culprit for this happening.
If you are with them, there is not much you can do. At least nothing that I can think of off the top of my head.

  • Read email showing as unread

    Using an iMac 2011 with Mavericks 10.9.4. Been having issues with the Mail client leaving mail that has been read in the 'unread' smart box. The account is an IMAP, and I have done the empty the whole thing and start over routine, and that works. However I don't want to keep having to do this over and over, since some of my boxes are large.
    Instead of a fix, is there a solution to this problem? Or is there something that I need to do on the other end of the IMAP, since the email is on a domain I own, not gmail or yahoo.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the quick reply. This worked!
    My main thought is why does this happen all the time? I know from looking around here that it just isn't me this is happening to. Is there some sort-of permanent fix?
    Again, thanks for the help!

  • Not all of my emails show up in my iphone account.  Only about two weeks worth - how can I access all of my inbox emails?

    Not all of my emails show up in my iphone account.  Only about two weeks worth - how can I access all of my inbox emails?  I have hotmail and am not sure if this is a sync glitch or what...?

    How are you accessing the "7 days" account: IMAP or POP?
    Are there other computers accessing the same account?

  • Ios7 - emails showing as unread in hotmail

    So I just downloaded ios7 and my little email icon is now showing that I have 6719 unread email messages - even though I don't.
    They're all in one of my hotmail email accounts, not any of my other ones (either hotmail or gmail). When I search for the word 'unread', it says there are no unread emails in any of my inboxes, and yet the icon is still displaying 6719.
    Can anyone help or advise?

    Hey, I just had this problem, showed 9000 unread hotmail emails,  now fixed it.
    Delete the hotmail account completely, via settings and then add new "outlook" account with all the same signin details and hotmail address.
    Job Done !

  • Read email getting remarked unread

    I have a user that has her email getting remarked unread after reading the email. I went in a set the Reading Pane to mark emails as read after being selected for 2 seconds. After looking in help that was all I found. Couldn't find anything relevant in
    google/bing search.Tom Wallin

    I'm having the same problem for some users. Seems to be a synchronisation issue.
    "I suspect that you read the mail, it is marked as read but then some time later the mailinformation is transfered again from the mailserver to the client. So the client shows the mails as unread because the information that the mail was read wasn´t
    transfered to the Server."
    This would make some sense, but how do you fix it?
    I'm on Office 365, Exchange, using Outlook 2010 in cached exchange mode, and the problem is only happening in public folder favourites. (Outlook is set to download public folder favourites)
    Cheers

  • Sent email showing as unread mean

    In my sent inbox on icloud, it shows 2 unread messages. Does that mean the receivers haven't read the message yet or does that mean I have been blocked?

    mail accounts of the type pop3 does not "share" info about if mails have been read on other devices or webmail
    only imap and exchange types does that

  • Read mail showing as unread on itouch.

    Mail on itouch shows as unread even though I have read it on laptop.  There are over 5,000 e-mails all showing as unread.  Too many to delete on itouch.  How can I set it so that they show as read as they do on laptop/mail client?

    It depends upon the type of account (IMAP/Exchange or POP3). If it in IMAP/Exchange account they will be synchronized among devices. I you have a POP3 account they are not synchronized and there is nothing yu can do except use webmail.

  • MobileMe emails read in mac mail (Lion) still show as unread on iPhone?

    I have only noticed this problem since I upgrade to Lion on my macbook pro.  When I read an email message in Mac Mail (I have a mobileme account), it stays unread on my iPhone.  I have tried quitting and restarting Mail, quitting the app on my phone and reopening it, and nothing seems to get my phone to realize that I have already read the email.  The only thing that works is to "read" the mail again on my phone, which is frustrating when I have already gone through it on my computer.
    What is interesting is that when I read a message on my phone, or mark it unread, these changes ARE reflected on my laptop.
    I also just checked what happened when I read an email or marked it unread on me.com, and it behaves the same way - Mac Mail recognizes it, but my iPhone doesn't.
    Any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this?  Thanks in advance.

    I should add that this is not an issue of the badge telling me that I have mail and then when I open the app, it corrects itself.  The emails on my iphone actually appear unread until I read them again on the phone. 

  • IOS 8 causing older read email to become unread

    Ever since "upgrading" to IOS 8 I have noticed a few issues. Some more troublesome than others.
    The first is texting, there are either delays with receiving texts from another iPhone user on the same
    carrier (Verizon) or mine refuse to be sent. This seems prevalent while on wi-fi yet the wi-fi connection
    seems stable as I can search with Safari.
    The second is the native email app, since installing IOS 8 I am seeing older email, as in from the beginning
    of 2014 being duplicated and the duplicates are being tagged as unread. This first happened and it showed
    500 emails in my hotmail account. I've experienced something with previous versions of the IOS when a new
    email account was added that all mail, read or otherwise was treated as new so I mistook this (the 500 emails)
    as that and just applied a read status to all of them. When it continued to happen with 8 or 17 or 22 emails
    suddenly showing as new but nothing was at the top, since it sorts by date, I scrolled through and found
    all of them were duplicates of months old emails.
    If I delete them or tag them as read, it just does the same thing with other messages and now it is doing it
    with all of my email accounts. Very annoying. I can no longer reply on the little digit near the mail icon to
    truly be representative of whether I have email or not.

    I have this issue as well, and it is very annoying as it clutters the screen a lot... I also have the email refresh issue, it seems the Push is not working entirely while in lock mode (phone in standby): the new emails arrive on the lock screen but the Mail app is not updated (nor the count badges). Can someone please confirm if this is an issue and will be fixed or if it's the new behaviour for iOS 8 ?
    Thanks and regards, 

  • HT6154 i have the wrong email showing up on my Iphone 4s

  • Email showing as unread

    I was able to clear this issue by heading into the account it was showing up under. I then hit edit, marked all as unread, then hit edit again and marked all as read. This cleared the issue

    mail accounts of the type pop3 does not "share" info about if mails have been read on other devices or webmail
    only imap and exchange types does that

  • Read messages showing up unread on BB

    I setup my Gmail on my device. If I read it on the BlackBerry it shows up as read on my desktop which is the expected behaviour but when I read the message on my desktop, the message shows up as unread on my BlackBerry. I searched but can't find a fix for this.
    I'm also on the BES for my corporate account and don't have this problem.

    One think I can tell you is that the public documentation about how BIS reconciles has, as a direct result of issues raised in this community forum, received new attention from the folks inside of RIM. Up until just a couple of weeks ago, the articles we had to cite were flat out incorrect...which, in my mind, is worse than receiving information that is not pleasant...at least the KB is accurate now.
    In addition, the price differential between BIS and BES might also be a factor as to why one works with more enhancements.
    Cheers!

  • Outlook 2010 IMAP Auto Read Emails

    Hi All.
    I have an issue witch I'm hoping someone can help me.
    I have android, ipad, 2
    pcs and a server. All the windows based systems use outlook 2010 and the server has 2010 too.
    I have an issue that when using any device not including server that emails show up unread / read on all ok but
    i have the server setup
    to run IMAP setting the same as other devices except any emails over 14days old to download them to the server and delete from
    host.
    when
    i run the server it download as it should and delete as it should but it also marks everything as read too so all devices say no new mails. I have to turn off the server outlook and only open it once a week or
    i start missing emails.
    I would like the server on all the time so
    i can set rules for it to move emails, junk and auto replies but
    i just cant have it on in case of missing emails that its auto setting as read.
    Ive been through all settings and
    cant find anything.
    I also thought i might be able to make a rule saying if
    email is marked as unread then leave as unread but no joy.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Stuart

    Hi,
    Would you please let me know the detailed steps to download and delete the old emails on Server? If you disable this function, would emails be auto-read?
    Please run Outlook on the server in safe mode to determine if it's 3rd-part add-ins related:
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
    Regards,

  • My problem: Missing emails. I have an iphone 5s. I'm using Outlook 2007 on a PC.

    Some emails to one of accounts show up on my iphone, some on my PC (Outlook 2007). But not both. Ideas??
    Example. I get an email on a business email address I've set up (eg - [email protected]). It appears in my Outlook inbox on my PC. It doesn't appear on my Iphone. I reply. The original email sender responds. Her email shows up on my iphone, But not in Outlook. Logically, her two emails from me should show up in both locations. Instead, the first is coming only to my Outlook, then the second to only my iphone.
    Ideas for fixing??
    (I believe that I have set it up so that the emails stay on the server.)

    My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine.  We always manually manage our music (no auto sync).  iTunes is up to date on the PCs.  My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines.  He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4.  I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s.  How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
    Thanks

  • Why when I read an email on my iPhone 5S, it shows as unread when I view it on my laptop?

    Why is it that, when I read an email on my iPhone 5S, it shows as unread when I subsequently view it on my laptop?

    What kind of email account do you have. The behavior you describe is the way a POP account will behave,. Reading the mail on one device marks it Read on that device only.
    But if you have an IMAP account, reading the mail on one should should transfer down so it shows as Read on all devices.
