Why does my T-Bird keep showing read messages as 'unread' even after recatagorizing them repeatedly?

Running T-Bird 24.4.0 on Win 7 PC.
I have several 'bugs' to address.
1) Although I've transferred thousands of old e-mails to 'Achieves', have 'compacted' every file repeatedly [see: Unable to write the email to the mailbox'], I still get the 'Unable to write...' error message requiring me to <Enter> for each individual message to download the bulk of my e-mail from my Yahoo!' mailbox.
2) Regardless of how many times I've recategorized my saved e-mail to 'read', they continue to come up, randomly, as 'unread' every time I open T-Bird.
3) Regardless of how often I select <View>, <Sort by>, <Descending>, my mail keeps being displayed in 'Ascending' order.
I have many thousands (10 yrs +) of saved e-mail in my system (my T-Bird backup folder is 11.6 GB).
Any and all replies will be much appreciated.

Would doubt CCleaner involved. Doesn't run continuously and I only run it about once a month. Tried 'repair state' didn't see any changes. Have been fighting the 'Unable to write...' issue over a year. Have read many pages regarding it (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1760715

No way to mark sms messages as 'unread'?

Hi everyone,
I just received my first ever iphone as an upgrade 2 days ago and am so shocked that you can't mark sms messages as unread. Surely this is a crucial feature that allows you to come back to messages you don't want to reply to straight away but don't want to forget about?
Also, within bookmarks, is it not possible to delete the factory bookmarks and just keep your umported bookmarks at the top? You pretty much can't move them around!
Thanks for all of your help

Thank you for replying, but unfortunately your response if not related to my problem:
I am aware that SMS message remain available until I decide to delete them - my query is that I am wondering if there is an option to mark a message or thread as 'unread'.
As for bookmarks, I am aware how to drag them, but my query was how to delete the Apple bookmark folders. Also, thank you for pointing out the User Guide - I am aware of how to operate my iPhone to this level thank you very much!

Messages not marked read if last unread message

I sort incoming mail into various folders
I use the "Move to next unread" button to go through messages
I configured mail to be marked read immediately upon display
This works perfectly till I reach the last unread message in any folder - clicking the "move to next unread" button will move me to the next folder with an unread message, BUT, the last unread message in the just exited folder is left marked unread
I've tried compacting my folders, deleting my .msf files, and, the 'repair folder' option in the properties pages of the folders, but nothing has worked
Can any one suggest something else to try?

re: Does it do this if you use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move to next in the list; the last one?
''The down arrow key only moves the focus to the following folder, and does not land on or display a message in that folder ''
If the focus is on the Folder in the Folder Pane , then the arrows will move up and down the Folder Pane list.
If the focus in on a selected email in the list of emails you can use the up and down arrows to move up and down the list. As you select an email, it is displayed in the Message Pane below and marked as read. I use this method alot as it is quicker than moving the mouse over any buttons.
I'm trying to work out if this is something related only to the 'Next unread button' or whether something else is conflicting. I presume if you click on the email it is marked as read..
So please tell me if the use of arrows to select emails, still causes the issue.
Test if the Sort Order effects the marking of the last unread email.
Please select the following Sort Order and tell me if the 'Next unread' button works with a different Sort by order.
View > Sort by > Date - Descending - unthreaded
Do you use the 'Quick Filter Bar' to 'Show only unread messages' - icon looks likea pair of sunglasses?
If no. could you please test.
Select the 'Show only unread messages' - then use the 'Move to the Next unread mesage' button.
Does it still fail to mark the last email as read?
What version of Thunderbird are you using?
What OS ?
Confirm Pop or imap mail account?
Please test whether their are any addons causing a conflict:
In Thunderbird
'Help > 'REstart with Addons disabled'
then use the Next unread button method to see if it works ok.
If it works ok then an addon is causing an issue.

Mail marks old messages as unread and quits upon starting

Opened mail this morning and all of a sudden all my old and already read messages appeared marked unread and mail exexpectedly quits.
I have read many answers to this problem in the Os X 10.4 group, but no real solutions, except for the one about the mailto-link. But that didn't work for me either. People think this is a 10.4.3 bug, but my Mac (G4 mirrored) runs Os 10.3.9 .
Looked into the crashreport and this is what it says:

p.s. is there a way to save all my read messages if I decide to reinstall mail?

I don’t understand what you say about what you’ve seen in the Tiger forum, but Mail is crashing because of some corruption in at least one of the files used by the junk filter.
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 filesystem issues, if any, proceed as follows:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
3. 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.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Marking multiple messages as unread

Is there a way to mark multiple emails as unread?
I find that many times I have already read my emails on my Mac, but the iPhone lists them all as unread. It seems silly that I should have to "re-read" them one-by-one to mark them unread on the iPhone. So, instead of wasting my time with such a task, my iPhone is always indicating >50 or >100 unread emails.
Where is the "Mark all as read" option ??

Destin Hoffmann1,
If you are accessing your .Mac with IMAP on your computer and iPhone, they will be marked as read on both when you read them on either. When using IMAP there is no need to reread them. If you use the .Mac option when setting up the account directly on the phone it will be set up as IMAP. With POP3 the message status is not synced.
This article has more information about POP3 versus IMAP:

Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

How do I mark read emails as unread?

I have an iPad 2 and it when it updated the new IOS, I no longer had the "Mark" button in my email. I want to use the Mark button to make emails "Unread" again.

That feature is now accessed by tapping the Flag icon.

Leaving Messages as Unread

I am new to using Mail.App and cannot seem to find a way to have the program stop marking my emails as read. I have a habit (bad as it may be) of previewing the email and then coming back to it to take action. The problem is that I have to constantly mark the message as unread because Mail defaults to marking it as read. Is there anything I can do to have Mail.app leave the message as unread and force me to mark it as read -- preferably when I reply to the email?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

unfortunately you cannot do that.
i would suggest you try this work around: create a rule for either every message or only messages from a specific account so that the color is set to red or blue or purple.... to create a rule go to mail>preferences>rules then add a new rule. then whenever a new email is received it will be colored red or blue or purple whether you read it or not, then once you read it and are done with it, you can manually change the color by selecting the email then 1) shift/apple/c and changing the color or 2) going to format>show colors and changing the color or 3) if you have set the color icon to show on your toolbar, clicking on the color icon and changing the color.
hope this helps

Why when using firefox to read e-mails in outlook can't I mark messages as unread?

there's no option for "mark message as unread" when running outlook in firefox.
Why?

Okay so I randomly typed "gmail" into the "Domain" field in the Exchange setup after reading your response and it seemed to work. That gave me the option to "flag" or "unflag" a message by clicking the little flag icon in the mail app. That's a start. But then I realized that when I flag a message, it doesn't show as flagged in Apple Mail or in Gmail's web client. However when I flag messages on my Mac they show as flagged in Gmail's web client but not my iPhone. My Mac and the web client seem to be syncing just fine but not my iPhone. Weird. I'll read that thread now...

Mark read and Unread in Messager Express

Thunderbird keeps adding extra unwanted characters into messages - how can I stop or prevent this.

Thunderbird keeps putting extra unwanted characters into emails, eg hereâ€™s the articleÂ. These extra characters roughly coincide with punctuation marks.
First raised this a couple of weeks back but so far no-one has come back.

You're getting these in messages while you're composing? This issue usually comes up with ''incoming'' mail and is also often seen in browsers. They can be connected with users who use non-standard fonts such as wingdings in their email.
None of the things you say you have tried are likely to affect it. Gnospen is thinking of the '''View|Character Encoding''' setting; mine is set to Unicode and I don't understand why anyone would choose one of the regional variants when Unicode is available.
You could look at '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Options]'''|Display|Formatting→Advanced and check if you have selected mainstream fonts for your email contents.

How can I make a rule to mark all messages sent to Mail Trash as Read?

How can I make a rule to mark all messages sent to Mail Trash as Read?
When I look at some emails on my phone, I can see from the title that I don't need to read the email so I delete it without opening it. When I go to my Macbook Pro and open mail, the number of unread messages in my Trash shows next to the name. It drives me nuts. Can I just set a rule to mark all messages sent to trash as read? If that isn't possible, I'd take just making the number not show beside the Trash folder.

Just in the case that I actually do need to go back to them for some reason. I have some OCD tendencies which is also why the number beside the folder drives me nuts.

I uninstalled Thunderbird but when i try to reinstall it I keep getting a message that the system must be rebooted to finalize the uninstall, over & over again.

I am using a laptop with Windows 7. For several weeks Thunderbird has been running very slowly & there are messages saying a script is running too long. So I decided to try to clean up all the mail boxes, but still get the messages...so then I decided to uninstall Thunderbird and this worked correctly & I rebooted the system (as it asked me to). But when I try to re- install Thunderbird I keep getting a message that the system must be rebooted to finalize the uninstall. I did this but the same thing happens each time I try to install...so now I have no mail application on my laptop. Most frustrating but fortunately I have an iPad...
Can someone please advise? Thanks in advance

you original problem is almost certainly your anti virus, I would also hazard a guess your new one is as well.
Thunderbird does not require a reboot on install, or uninstall.
try restarting the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

Unread mail marked "READ" when opening Mail

I have about fifteen mail messages from a few weeks ago marked "unread". However, when I open my mail box all of today's mail gets marked "read' before I scroll over or read any messages. Any ideas?

I HAD a blackberry downloading my .mac email. It was marking them as opened for some reason - no way to change the seeting.
