Sent email gets marked as 'unread'

Hi all,
I'm getting two rather frustrating issues on Apple Mail.
Firstly, sent emails are starting to, on occasion (probably 50% of the time), get marked as 'unread' in my sent mailbox. This was not an issue in the past.
Secondly, my to do items are disappearing. The items are being stored on a local calendar (so no sync issues I would presume), and I create them via a note. The to do item on the note greys out and disappears from the to do list.
Any assistance for either of these issues would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Rhys

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.

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.

TS3899 How to fix Sent emails getting stuck in Outbox for a period of time before being sent?

How do you fix Sent emails getting s tuck in Outbox for a period of time before they actually send?
The error message says that my "sender address is rejected by the server", but it eventually does send.

Have you tried a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

Sent mail is marked as 'unread'

This just started happening a few days ago. No settings have been changed, nothing is different in how or where mail is stored. About 1/2 of the mail I send now appears as 'unread' in the Sent mail folder in Mail.
Why? How can I make this stop? I rely on the red badge over Mail in the dock to let me know there is mail to check, now I constantly have to open Mail, select Sent, click on my own messages and then return to Inbox to clear badges. Annoying, really annoying...
Anybody know anything about this or why it's suddenly happening?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Bryan

I am using a rule to deal with this problem (first select all sent messages and mark as read, the rule will then work on new messages):
If all the following conditions are met:
Date Sent Is Less Than 1 days old
From Contains youremailaddresss
Message Type is Mail
Perform the following actions:
Move Message to mailbox Sent
Mark as Read

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.

E75 email: messages marked as unread

Hi,
Yesterday I had to reset my Nokia E75. Now it's up and running again. However, after I re-installed my hotmail e-mail I have a problem:
- 30 (old) e-mails are loaded and marked as unread
- when I receive an e-mail and I read the e-mail on my laptop, the message stays 'unread' on my E75
- the other way around, the same problem exists. If I check an e-mail on my phone, the e-mail stays unread. So if I check my e-mail on my laptop, it looks like my e-mail is still unread.
Anybody any clue how to change this?
Futher, I tried to change the synchronisation hours and synchronisation interval. But each time I change this, it won't stay. If I take another look 2 minutes later, the old settings are back.
Thanks for your help!

Not sure what you mean. But I deleted my entire mailbox and tried to re-install. For some reason it seems to work now.
Thanks for your reply anyway.

Random old emails getting marked as new/unread

Every now and then, Thunderbird notifies me of "new" emails in my inbox that are actually week/month old. I have no idea why this is happening nor how to make it stop and it is really getting annoying.
Mozilla Thunderbird is up to date, I am using Microsoft Hotmail for my two accounts and my ISP is Bell Canada.
Thanks in advance

first off, housekeeping.
File menu (Alt+F) > compact Folders
See if that helps? Maybe yes, maybe no.

Sent email gets delayed without reason

Hi everyone!
I have been having an obnoxious problem with the Mail app on my iPad: whenever I send an e-mail, it gets delayed without any apparent reason. This has been happening for a week without any change made to the iPad whatsoever. This is what happens:
- I write and (actually) send a new e-mail.
- The e-mail leaves: it makes de woosh it usually makes when it is sent, it doesn't show up in the Drafts section nor the process bar is frozen. It is correctly sent.
- Several hours later (up to 4 hours!) it arrives its destination.
This has been happening with every account I have: gmail, an institutional account, my own website account (1&1), etc. I have tried to solve it by following every step suggested in the Apple Support website, but it made no difference. I have even deleted an account and set it up back again.
Maybe it's not a major issue (the iPad runs perfectly appart from it), but it is really annoying. Plus, some times I forget about it and I write and send quite a long e-mail that doesn't arrive to its adressee for a long time, so I have to write it back and send it via webmail.
I hope someone can give me a hand with it. Thank you very much in advance.

Looks to me like the anti-virus scanner, amavis. The clue is the line:
postfix/smtp[69038]: 942814AD55B: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1\[127.0.0.1\]:10024, delay=0.25, delays=0.1/0.01/0/0.14, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as C611B4AD568)
where the 10024 is the default port that Amavis runs on. Postfix is configured to pass mail through this port, and queues the mail until Amavis is available.
My guess, therefore, is that Amavis is set to run under your account rather than under the system, which is why it only runs when you're logged in. Off hand I have no idea how you managed this and that makes it hard to work out how to fix it. I'd start by looking for org.amavis.amavisd.plist in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons, /Library/LaunchDaemons and ~/Library/LaunchDaemons (it should be in the former, but if its in the latter that could explain it.

Loaded iLife'008 and now sent email gets stuck in outbox

Folks,
I refreshed to OS X 10.4.11 2 weeks ago and it has been a good upgrade. Tuesday night 09-16-08 I loaded iLife'08 followed by a software update. From that time on my sent mail is stuck in the outbox with the following error message.
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The connection to the server "smtp.mac.com" on port 25 timed out."
I have deleted the outbox, refreshed email, deleted the outbox and restarted the computer - neither worked.
I have reviewed all email addresses and they are exactly like they were prior to adding iLife'08.
I have only one account with MAC. smpt.mac.com:(my mac account name) on port 25.
And I do not want to upgrade to 10.5.x.
Best regards,
LD

Change the port to 587 and try again. Port 25 is often blocked by ISPs to mail servers other than their own to reduce the amount of spam sent from their networks.

Sent Emails getting stuck in Outbox!

When I send emails (I use both .mac and Roadrunner accounts) it goes really slow and at the top it says "copying emails to outbox"". Then, the emails are sent to the outbox and refuse to send. I have spoken to my internet provider (Roadrunner) and they told me to contact Mac. I can send emails online using their webmail just fine.
I was able to send emails using this program until a few weeks ago.
Help Me Please!!
IMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4)

RoadRunner is my ISP also and the problem as described sounds like there is an issue with the Outbox mailbox.
Try the following:
Quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes > Outbox.mbox.
The Outbox.mbox represents "Out" in the mailboxes drawer and is shared by all accounts.
Delete the Outbox.mbox and empty the Trash.
This will delete any messages contained in the Outbox so if you don't want any of the messages deleted, move the messages from the Outbox to the account's Drafts mailbox before quitting Mail to target the Outbox.mbox.
Launch Mail and a new Outbox.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the Mailboxes folder.
Test if this resolves the problem.

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).

Mail messages are constantly marked as "Unread"

On certain mail messages, I cannot get the message to remain as "Marked Read" - the message continues to come to my Mac as "New". I have tried deleting message, manually marking it as Read. Nothing seems to work. Please share any advice.

Sent Email Sits in Outbox

It is weird that this problem came out of the blue. Started about 1 week ago, everyone of my SENT email gets stuck in Outbox. I have to manually open EACH email in the Outbox and click Send again. Then they will go out to their destinations. This happens
to all my emails. It does not matter whether the email has attachment or not. Clicking F9 / Send and Receive all folders button does NOT send the emails in the Outbox. I checked the Options and the Send Immediately box is checked.
My setup: Win8 64 bit, Outlook 2010 64 bit, Norton Security Suite V21.
Please help. Thanks,
Hai

Hi,
Many reasons may cause such issue, such as:
1. An add-in that marks items read if you view the Outbox
2. Wrong password or not authenticating properly with the mail server
3. Outlook or the mail server is offline
4. No default email account is set
5. Corrupt Send and Receive Settings
Please refer to the following article and try the steps to troubleshoot the problem:

Please let me know the result.

How do I delete all my sent emails on IPad 2? I only get 2 options: Flag and Mark as Unread. It doesn't let me Mark All of them.

Have been trying to figure out how to delete all of my sent mail on my IPad 2...it only lets me choose to Flag or Mark as Unread. It will take me hours to go through and check off each one. I have 2 years of emails in my sent folder!

Unfortunately, there is no way to select them all at once to delete them. You do have to select one at a time.
