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.

IPad mail shows 12 unread messages but they are all read

iPad mail shows 12 unread mail on the icon. However, all mail has been read. I checked every message available from the server and I deleted and reinstalled the email account. Any help is appreciated

iPad only show last 50,100,200 emails depending upon settings. I had this some time ago when the 17 (for example) emails were "dropped" off the list of emails on the iPad. At the botton of the list of emails there should be a "show more" type option, press this to loand the previous batch of emails to see if the unread emails are in there.
Also watch out for threading emails. It could be you need to open a thread to see the email. Also an option you can disable (I did!)

Mail showing one unread message when all messages are marked as read

Wondering if anyone else was having any weird issues with their iCloud and unread count in the Mail app on their mac running lion? I can't seem to get rid of a phantom unread message. My iCloud account is fairly new so I don't have that many messages to go through so I know there is not an unread message any where. Any help would be appreciated
Cheers,
Rabah

I have had the same issue with my Microsoft exchange email after upgrading to Lion. It's a bit annoying. My iPad, Android Phone, and viewing it using a browser all show 0 unread, but Mail shows 3 unread. I have tried deleting the account, rebuilding, and pawing through settings looking for something I missed. Nothing. I actually had the same problem with my MobileMe email with Snow Leopard but I eventually permanently removed the account as other problems arose and just used it in my browser.
Sorry I couldn't help but I hope it's resolved.

My Mac Mail shows 112 unread emails. I cannot find where these unread emails are?

My Mac Mail shows 112 unread emails. I cannot find these unread emails anywhere. I have deleted the account and then readded and they still show up. Do you have an idea how i can fix this?

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

I have many problems with my mail since I moved to mavericks. The filter is very sensitive, read mail appears as unread, I can't drag mail to the folders and more. I can't update the mail program as directed on this page, update says my system is updated

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!

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.

Sent mail shows 429 Unread, but none show

I routinely delete sent mail. Last week my iPhone 5s shows 429 unread emails in my sent folder, but there aren't any. How can I fix this problem?

Hi there Howard C,
You may want to try removing the effected account then adding it back again. Take a look at the article below for more information.
iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.

ICloud mail showing as unread on iPad

This is just odd.
I am using a single iCloud mail account (using the default IMAP) protocols.
That mail account is accessed by two Macs, an iPhone and an iPad.
Most of my mail is read pretty quickly, usually on the Mac.
I understand that the unread badge on iOS mail might not reflect the fact that mail has been read. When I open the mail app, it should sync.
But when I go to the iPad and open Mail - there are usually 5 or 6 mails, which despite being read on the Mac - are showing-up with a blue bullet, and behaving as unread.
If I look at Mail in the iCloud web interface, those same mails are correctly showing as read.
So right at this moment....
My Mac tells me there is one unread message (in Junk) - this is correct
My iPhone says there are two unread messages. One recent (same as Mac) plus one from yesterday about 30 emails down.
My iPad tells me there are four unread messages. One recent (same as Mac) plus a cluster of three from earlier today.
If I pull-to-refresh on either iDevice no change is made to the read status.
If I delete the iCloud account and rejoin - then the read status matches.
Why isn't iOS mail syncing read status for some messages?

I am replying to my own post just to add some more information.
In summary the iPad shows mails that have been read on other devices as unread.
Even with Mail app running.
The problem does not happen on an old iPod Touch running iOS6. That device stays perfectly in sync with iCloud mail - and the unread status is always the same.
The problem is only visible on the iPad Air and the Phone 5 - both iOS 7.0.4
There are no connection issues.
Most of my mail is addressed to the old .mac address. Can't see this as relevant.

Mail shows 3 unread emails but i've read them on my android phone phone and they are marked as read on GMAIL.

Hello, I know that Mail in Mavericks has a lot of problems, but i still haven't read about this one. I returned home and saw 3 unread emails, when opened, i've noticed that i've already read them earlier today using Gmail on my android phone. So i opened Gmail webmail and they were marked there as read as well. Even after checking for new mail manually, they were unread in my Mail.app. I had to open these emails to mark them as read.
Have anyone of you experienced the same behavior?

Found my solution:
Try this... "you could create a smart mailbox to filter unread emails, go to mail menu, mailbox>create smart mailbox, and choose the unread email rule. then look in the smart mailbox to see which emails show up."

Deleted Account's mail shows as unread in dock icon

*Short version...* I deleted an account and now my dock icon reads 403 unread messages. Problem is I can't find them to get rid of them.
*Long version...* Got my old computer from last job before they closed the doors permanently. I simply disabled the work email account since then and all the old emails (that were not put into "On My Mac" folders for reference") eventually got deleted since I had the preferences set to delete after a month.
Now I decide to delete the account entirely. I do so, and now the dock icon reads 403 unread messages. I play with the "Dock unread count" preference in Mail. The # disappears when it is set to "None" or "Inbox Only". So, the offending mail must be in some hidden mailbox.
So, in playing around, I recreated the deleted account using as much of the old data I can remember. The original server for the mail is long gone, so no new mail is being checked. It didn't show up the old messages, but when I disable the recreated account, the 403 unread message counter goes away (like it has been the last few months). When I enable it, the # reappears. So, it looks like I partially got control of the old account, but the messages are still hidden somewhere.
Using Mail 3.6 on OS 10.5.7. Any advice?? How can I reset the counter or find the mail?

thanks Golden, that's what I found I needed to do. None of the sidebar indicators (that there were unread messages in that particular folder) were working. But if you opened a subfolder and looked thru, you could find some unread. The funny thing was that these messages appeared only when I enabled or deleted that old account, and they were all over the place (Sent, Deleted, junk, and On-My-Mac folders) and in all of my other accounts (I have 5 others). But all fixed now. thanks.

Sent mail showing as unread

Recently, my sent mail is showing up in my Sent folder as unread. I've tried rebuilding my Sent mailbox but that hasn't worked. Other than that, Mail is working fine. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to fix this problem?
I'm looking for solutions, not "I have the same problem! Man, Apple really needs to fix this!" I'm not looking to commiserate with anyone.

In the implementation of Mail 3.x, the Attachments folder in this location is normal, although not seen in Mail 2.x -- it is likely not involved in your issue.
Now that we have identified that you are using an IMAP style account, please check Mail Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors and report the selections made regarding Sent messages?
Do you use this MobileMe account on more than one computer or device, btw.

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!

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!

Mail shows message count even if deleted.

Mail shows 970 unread emails (in two accounts), however all have been read and deleted from phone. When showing empty, the MAIL APP icon still shows 970 messages. Where are they ? Thanks for your help. J

"Repair Disk Permissions" from Disk Utility may help.
You can also re-install the latest (10.4.6) combo update.
