Turn off "New Message" icon

Hi
Blackberry's great for working my emails but how do I stop it telling me I have new mail?
- I have successfully turned all the sounds/vibrations/LEDs to off
- And I have stopped it telling me how many new emails I have
- But how do I turn off the little envelope that appears at the top of the screen telling me I have new mail?
(I'd prefer to only know when there is new mail when I actually go into my messages, not all the time!)
I've looked through the forums and found someone else with the same problem a couple of years ago but no solution...
Can anyone help?
thanks!

You can't turn off the yellow envelope at the top of the screen.

Turning off new message indicator AND the new message count

Greetings,
Is it possible to turn off both the new message indicator (red asterix) and the new message count?
I would like no message indicators to appear on my blackberry home screen.
Thanks ever so much for your help.

I guess I didn't read close enough. I don't think you can turn off the red asterisk. It's going to show up on the icon no matter what.
As for the text messages, I'm not sure the setting for not showing message count indicator applies for text messges. In fact, if you have OS 5, it most likely doesn't as sms is handled much differently.
You can turn off sounds and the red led in Profiles (or Sounds in OS 5)
You're basically wanting to disabl everything the phone was designed to do.

Can't turn off new message sound in 31.3.0: prefs checkbox has no effect

After installing this update I was surprised to hear an alert sound on each arrival of a new mail message. The related checkbox (General::Play a sound) has no effect; I get the sound whether the box is checked or unchecked. After changing the setting quitting and restarting the app has no effect.
Mac OS 10.9.5

As some have noticed and posted other issues, [[https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1038464]], [[https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1038142]] , this relates to the Notification.
The notification is behind the sound and is controlled by System Preferences --> Notifications --> Thunderbird --> "Play sound for notifications". Tick that off and that's it.

Turn off BlackBerry Messenger icon

I would like to continue to use the Blackberry Pin Messenger, but would like to know how to turn off the messenger icon. My intent is to check the Messenger when I would like, without the icon appearing on the screen. this as a privacy issue. help is greatly appreciated.

Are you referring to the message preview on the external display or the new message icon that appears on the inside display?

Unity - How do I turn off voicemail message "your mailbox is almost full"?

We recently set a mailbox limit on our exchange server. Some users are over the limit until they deuce their mailbox size. When they check their messages via the 7940 "messages" button, they get the message "Your mailbox is almost full?etc" before it will playback their messages. Once they get their mailbox under 90% of the limit the messages will go away. My question is how do I turn off the message? I realize the message is a "good thing", but even if it's a system (all off) setting, please post. I did find how keep outside users that are calling in from hearing that they can't leave a message because the person they're trying to contact has a full mailbox, so that's not what I'm looking for. I?m just trying to find out how to keep the user with the new limit from hearing that every time.
We are running Unity 4.2(1)

You can disable this in the registry. This is not a Cisco documented or recommended option. I have done it for customers who were really adament about the notifications.
Here are the steps to do on your Unity server. Again I want to stress I'm not sure if this is Cisco supported but it's a simple change that requires no reboot.
1. Backup your windows registry
2. Open regedit
3. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Active Voice\MalEx\1.0
4. Open the REG_DWORD DisableStatusCheck
5. Change the value from 0 to 1
This should take effect right away. This is a universal system all off for the Unity server only. Exchange is not effected.
Please rate any helpful posts
Thanks

New Message Icon - Can't find the messages! :)

Okay so I've had my BlackBerry Curve 8310 for a week now. Just been tooling around with it to learn how it works on my own. Today I was trying to register the BIS to log into my email account to create a filter to stop sending my Gmail Sent mail back to my phone (so annoying). Anyway, Tried registering as a new user via PC. I entered my PIN and IMEI and it told me that an account already existed for that PIN. I thought that was strange, I hadn't registered before? SO just out of curiousity I clicked on the 'forgot my password' link and had it sent to my phone. I see an icon saying I have a new messge however I cannot FIND the message. Thought I did something stupid or wrong so I clicked resend for the password and again I see now I have two and then three new messages (third time is supposed to be the charm right?) on the icon but can't find these messages! I looked in SMS/MMS folder, looked in Gmail and BlackBerry mail folders but still cannot locate these messages! Where the heck did they go??
BTW I finally registered with the BIS through my phone and was able to complete it there and then logged onto my PC and created the filter I wanted. So I'm cool with that. I just need to get that stupid new message icon off my phone. Dunno if it helps but when I get new emails, the number on the message icon increases, so it must be something to do with email..?
Please Help!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Try this:
Homescreen > Messages > > Search
Set as follows (may vary depending on your device OS level):
Search Type: Local
Name In: Any Address Field
Subject Message: <leave blank>
Include Encrypted Messages: Yes
Service: All Services
Folder: All Folders
Show: Unopened Only
Type: All
That should return to you all unopened messages from all message conduits.
Good luck and let us know!

Turn off new mail notification sound for a particular folder?

Is there any way to turn off new mail notification sound for a particular folder? I want new mail sound for my in box and most other folders but for example when I filter high-volume mail lists into a sub folder I don't want the new mail sound to play.

Mail ▹ Preferences ▹ General ▹ New messages sound: None

New Message icon appears - but can't find messages

I have the BB Curve 8330 and have the "new message" icon at the top of the screen saying I have 7 new/unread messages but I can't find them anywhere! I have checked all of the folders, deleted and re-added my email account, and was on the phone with Sprint for over an hour today and they were not able to help me.
I had this problem about 6 months ago and I think the lady told me that it was something to do with saving the messages to the server - but I have made sure that I am saving them to the server and still can't get it fixed. The last tech had me go to Options -> Mobile Network -> Start Provisioning....I did this but then another "new" message appeared that I can't find. The weird part though, is I can receive and send emails to friends and other folks, just can't get these emails off the phone. Can someone please help me??
Thank you so much!!

Tips for clearing that unread message... try them in order.
If you have a rogue New Message icon on your Homescreen, or a negative count (-1), any one of these solutions could clear it, or reset it to zero:
Try these options:
* Open your main Messages folder and highlight today's date, click the menu key and select Mark Prior Opened.
* Hard Reset the BlackBerry by holding ALT, CAP (right Shift key), and DEL (or with the BlackBerry powered ON, remove the battery and reinserting the battery)
* View Messages > Saved Messages
* View Messages > View Folders, check each folder (missed calls, SMS in and out boxes, MMS in and out boxes, Saved, browser, phone logs etc)
* Scroll to top of message folder, over the date heading, click or press menu to MARK PRIOR OPEN
* Change your theme and see if it persists, and change back to your desired theme. (Options > Theme > select.)
* Connect to Desktop Manager > Backup/Restore > Advanced. On the right-hand pane is the list of data on your device. Scroll to the email messages database and highlight it, then below, select CLEAR. This will clear your device of all messages.
* Wipe and reload your OS.

Is there a way for my MMS message phone numbers not seen by whole group even after turning off group messaging?

I send messages to a group of people but they are all able to see each other's phone numbers and they can't tell who is sending the message because on their iphone all the numbers appear and I have turned off group messaging. Is ther a way to prevent that from happening?

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

How Do I turn off Text message on my MacBook Air

My MacBook Air, my husband's Macbook Pro, and my Iphone4 are all linked and therefore my husband sees all my text. The problem is an educator I may be discussing something confidential, therefore how do I unlink his mac from my iphone. We do share the same Apple account...

Hi there Zorro1960,
You should be able to prevent your messages from going to your computer, by removing your phone number from iMessages and turning off Text Message Forwarding using these instructions. They are about turning on these features but you should turn them off instead:
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Cannot return to message list while in a message without clicking on "compose new message icon" and then cancelling it.

After updating to 8.1 from 8 i cannot return to my message list from inside a message without clicking on the "compose new message" icon and then canceling out of that.
Also, where it used to say return, it now says "Edit" and the word "Message" on the top of the screens is scruched together.
Here is a link to a screenshot of my phone from the main messages listing.
And here is a link to a screen shot of my phone from within a message.

Hi Sir,

Outlook.MailItem)
‘Can
we add here User property in Mail Object Reference?
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.Information)
End Try
End

so always better to surpress the messages

Settings button (action) is on the left had side of the Cellular Data is Turned Off notification message put up while the OK button is present on the right hand side of the notification

The defualt notification message put up when launching iTunes on iPhone devices show that Cellular Data is Turned Off message is put up with Settings and OK button.
This seems to be inconsistent with the default 'Cancel' and 'Action' buttons in other notification messages from Apple.
Is it fine to consider the OK button first (left) and Settings(right) button next in the Cellular Data is Turned Off error message in the apps so that it is in line with the apple guidelines??
Please help with this.
Thanks you so much.

Try the basics from the manual. Restart, reset, restore.
