Sent Mail Marked As Unread

In Lion Mail, sent mail is being marked as unread. Why is that? Can I change that behaviour or is this a bug maybe?

A couple further details...
Using a .me account
I sent 3 emails, one after the other, to my work address, 2 of the 3 show up as Unread in the Sent, though all 3 were received by my work address
Using the same .me outgoing server for all emails
There are no Rules in effect that would cause this
This seems to happen at random to only maybe 1 or 5 sent emails
They are going to both .me and other domains.

  • Why is Sent Mail marked Unread?

    On my computer, when I send mail it goes into my "Sent Mail" mailbox and is marked as "read." That's the way it seems to me things should be.
    However, on my husband's computer (both of us are using 10.4.4), the mail goes into the Sent Mail box and is marked "unread", which is problematic. Is there a fix for this?
    Thanks for any help you can offer!

    It sounds like you need to setup your account in your browser correctly and then delete Gmail in Mail and add it back with the new settings. See directions here. Most users have multiple Sent folders in Settings > Labels. Until you clean up online, it's difficult to get Gmail working in Mavericks Mail.

  • 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.

  • All sent mail marked junk

    All my sent mail is marked as junk for some reason. I've reset the junk mail filters, etc., but it is still marked. Any ideas?

    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, proceed as follows to thoroughly get rid of all the files used by the junk filter, so that Mail creates them anew:
    1. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
    2. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
    4. Locate LSMMap2 and move it to the Trash. This file stores information about what does and doesn’t constitute junk, and allows the junk filter to learn. Deleting this file is what Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset does. The file was called LSMMap in early versions of Mail; delete that as well if you see it.
    5. Locate any MessageRules.plist (Mail 2.x) and/or MessageSorting.plist (Mail 1.x) files and move them to the Desktop. This is where Mail stores all the rules, including the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
    6. Locate DefaultCounts and move it to the Trash. This file keeps statistics about the number of messages that have been marked as junk, either automatically by the junk filter or manually by the user.
    7. Look for the account folders. The name of each account folder starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Open each of the account folders, locate the Junk.mbox or Junk.imapmbox folder within it, and move it to the Trash if present.
    8. Go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate any Junk.mbox mailboxes there (their name may include the account name in parenthesis), and move them to the Trash.
    Note: Steps 7 and 8 may be unnecessary. Also, messages in Junk mailboxes with an .mbox suffix are stored locally and will be lost forever as a result of doing steps 7 and 8. If there is a chance that you have legit messages there that you want to preserve, either try skipping those steps, or move the messages to another mailbox in Mail first, or move Junk.mbox to the Desktop (to be imported back later) instead of to the Trash. Junk mailboxes with an .imapmbox suffix aren’t a concern because they are stored on the server and Mail would rebuild them automatically.
    9. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail or take Mail offline immediately after opening it, to prevent Mail from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
    10. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail and enable the junk filter.
    11. Go online again if you went offline in step 9.
    12. If the problem is fixed now and .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
    If the above solves the problem and you don’t have any rules you’d like to preserve or recreating them is not a daunting task, the files moved to the Desktop in step 5 can be deleted.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • E-mails marked as unread when viewed on B'berry

    I receive my Outlook e-mails onto my Blackberry but when I've read them on my device it marks them as read in Outlook on my pc.  How can I leave the Outlook e-mails showing as unread even when they have been read on my Blackberry?
    Thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    If you are on BES, then you will need to go see your BES admins to determine if what you desire is allowed in that system...they are in control.
    For BIS-based email, you can defeat wireless reconciliation by, from within any messages list, going here:
    BBKey > Options > Email Reconciliation > Make sure that the Message Services is set to the account you want to change > Change Wireless Reconcile to "Off"
    Note that this will not only remove reconciliation of read/unread...it will remove all OTA reconciliation features. You will then have to use Outlook to truly control your actual mailbox...nothing you do on your BB will affect your actual mailbox.
    Cheers!

  • 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.

  • Using Applescript to track Mail "Mark as Unread"

    Hi,
    I'm new to actionscript, I've never written anything using it. I'm a web developer, so I know JS, PHP and languages like that, but Applescript seems quite different to me.
    Anyways, I would like to know if it is possible to have a script in the background with an event handler that will trigger additional actions when a message is marked as unread?
    Pretty much, I want some code (that I will work out later) to be executed when a user marks a message as unread in Mail. ("Message"->"Mark"->"As Unread" OR ⇧⌘U)
    Thanks

    I'm new to actionscript
    You mean AppleScript, right?
    I would like to know if it is possible to have a script in the background with an event handler that will trigger additional actions when a message is marked as unread?
    Not directly. The ideal way of doing this would be for Mail.app to have some kind of option to attach AppleScripts to events within the application. It's entirely possible to do within the OS, but few applications take advantage of it - that includes Mail.app, so there's no way to have Mail.app call your script directly.
    The closest you could get would be a background script that silently polled Mail.app for the status of all messages and somehow detect when a message went from Read to Unread. This could be unwieldy, especially if there are many, many messages in the mailbox - you pretty much have to keep track of every read message and scan for any unread messages that are in the previous read messages list. This option doesn't work if you want to perform some real-time action such as interact with the user since there would always be some delay between the user action (marking the message unread) and the script noticing it.

  • 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).

  • 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.

    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • All mail is marked as unread following iOS 7 install.  How do I fix that?

    All mail is marked as unread following iOS 7 install.  How do I fix that?

    Ignore my last question.  This was entirely user inflicted.
    The count that shows on the mail icon on the iPad shows the number of email in the "New" folder on my AOL account.  Some of these are emails that I read and then marked as unread.  In the previous versions, these "read and then marked as unread' emails did not show in the count on the iPad icon...but now they do.  Not a big deal...it's just different.
    Thanks for your help.
