Unread mail highlight

So far I'm loving all the new features in Lion, though some are hard to get used to, like the scrolling gesture, which reacts opposite to the mouse. Although I love the new Mail, my eyes are having a hard time with the read and unread mail. It seems that the read and unread mail look exactly the same, the only difference between them is the blue dot on the left side of the unread. I've checked the preferences and even though "Display unread messages with bold font" is checked, I still see no difference between them. All of the senders display in bold font and the followed text in plain. Is there a bug that is preventing me from seeing the unread mail in bold font? Also, is there any way to make the unread mail display highlighted? I think this would make it really easy on everybody's eyes. Any help is much appreaciated.

I think the blue dot is all you get this time around. Cheers!

Unread mails are not highlighted

Unread mails are not highlighted (colored)

Yes, you are correct. Unread messages are not highlighted.
The only option that exists is to make unread messages Bold.

IPhone with Exchange 2010 account. Add "unread mail" folder?

Hi,
Is there any way to make search folders appear (like unread mail) in the Mail app in iOS using our corporate exchange account?
If not are there any alternatives?
Thank you,
C.L.

Unread is a smart folder so no. But you can create a rule to move all new emails to your own "unread folder" you have to create. Just create a rule where you are in the To or CC of any email. Then either send a copy to that folder or all mail to the folder. This will give you an easy way to find the email, but creates duplicates in your Outlook Unread folder. Kind of a pain but gets the emails on your phone into the same area. Hope this helps.

How to access unread mails of all users in Exchange server without having Passwords and without giving mailbox access to other user.

Hi all,
I am using Exchange server 2013, my task is to create
Service , that
need's to monitor continuously for new mails of all Mailboxes in
my server. if any user got new mail i need to get that Mail Subject, Mail Body, Sender Email Address [From emailId] .
Limitation
: I don't have Passwords of mailboxes , so i gave all mailbox access permission to one user , then i completed this service using below code.
But now, Client
not willing to give Mailbox Permissions to one user because of security problems.
How can i do this without passwords and without giving permissions to other user ?
i don't want all mailbox access , i just need only
access Mail Subject , Body and Sender mail address .
How can i achieve
this ?
Process i follow
=> I created new user in server , and then i gave full permissions of all Mailboxes to newly created user[ex: james] in database level.
i use below command for giving permissions in database level.
Get-MailboxDatabase -Identity <Database Name> | Add-ADPermission -User <User> -AccessRights GenericAll
=> using below code i am searching unread mails of all user Mailboxes and then getting Subject, body and Sender Email address . here i am have list of users,
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2013);
service.Credentials = new WebCredentials("[email protected]", "password");
service.AutodiscoverUrl("[email protected]"); foreach (Object obj in usersList) // here i have Mailbox users list in usersList
{ var userMailbox = new Mailbox(obj.user);
var folderId = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, userMailbox);
SearchFilter.IsEqualTo filter1 = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(EmailMessageSchema.IsRead, false);
var itemView = new ItemView(50);
var userItems = service.FindItems(folderId, filter1, itemView);
foreach (var item in userItems)
item.Load();
var senderEmail = ((EmailMessage)item).From;
var subject = item.Subject;
var body = item.Body;

You would need to check that possibilities via WebServices but suggest you to post this in Development forum to get help from programmers....

Mail - Unread Mail Count corrupted

I have set up a Smart Mailbox in Mail to hold all of my unread mail until I have a chance to deal with it. It is called "Unread" and the condition for the box is simply all messages that match the condition "Message is Unread"
There are currently 15 messages in this Smart Mailbox, yet the count at the side of the Mailbox list indicates 1197, and when I click on that Mailbox the title across the top of Mail indicates "Unread (15 messages, 1197 unread)".
Clearly that unread count has been corrupted some way ... is there any way to reset it?
Many thanks to anyone who can help!
OS X 10.9 [Mavericks] Build 13A693 | Mail Version 7.0 (1816)

Not entirely te same thing but after upgrading to 10.9 my Gmail item count in my "Inboxes" is continually set at "1" eventhough there are no unread messages. I have also gone to gmail via the web app and it shows no unread messages. So something is assuredly wacky.

Mail Migration - Folders Subscriptions & Unread Mail

Hello,
I'm currently testing a migration from MS 5.2 to 6.2. Sorry for all
the verbage here - I'll try to shorten as much as possible.
iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 2.09 (built Nov 18 2005)
libimta.so 5.2 HotFix 2.09 (built 10:35:58, Nov 18 2005)
The Sun Java system is

libimta.so 6.2-3.04 (built 01:43:03, Jul 15 2005)
I have issues with read messages showing up unread and folder subscriptions gone. I'm looking at the folder subscription issue right now.
The portal migration first has us 'migrate' the email data. After that is done, a rename of the email account is done to match the 'immutable id'. So user/joeuser/INBOX is going to become user/83899111100/INBOX. What I have found is that if joeuser had a store.sub file, it is now gone after the rename. If I copy the original store.sub file and edit the contents to match the new acct, joeuser can then see the folders.
Is that normal behavior for the store.sub file to disappear if you are completely renaming an account?
Regarding the unread mail issue. I copy the mboxlist info from the 5.2 system to the 6.2 system, run the upgrade scripts, and start stored. The default log for stored statup that say "Removing database environment" and to run reconstruct -m.

I run the reconstruct -m, which works and results in a new database. I would assume that this is why all the mail shows up as 'unread'. Is this a correct assumption? Where is read/unread info kept?
I've opened up a problem with the portal vendor. For the subscribed issue, that seems related to the rename of the account itself. For the unread issue, that would seem related to the 'newly initialized' database.
Since the 6.2 system doesn't like something about the migrated database and to avoid 'losing' the old database, I am being told to the the following on the current 5.2 system prior to migration to ensure a clean database:
1. reconstruct -m
2. And one step 1 is complete, reconstruct -r -f
Does this seem like the right thing to do?
Thanks for reading all of this and whatever info you can provide.

Regarding the unread mail issue. I copy the mboxlist info from the 5.2 system to the 6.2 system, run the upgrade scripts, and start stored. The default log for stored statup that say "Removing database environment" and to run reconstruct -m. Before going any further - performing the upgrade with a non-patched version of 6.2 is going to cause problems period -- regardless of whether this is 'necessary' due to some kind of portal support requirement.

Where is read/unread info kept?read/unread information is kept in two locations -- the mboxlist database that wasn't successfully migrated (hence the "General Critical: Recovering database from snapshot") and and older 'backup' snapshot version which resides on disk ... store.usr.
I've opened up a problem with the portal vendor. For the subscribed issue, that seems related to the rename of the account itself. For the unread issue, that would seem related to the 'newly initialized' database.I suggest you upgrade to 118207-63 prior to performing the migration and see if either/both issues persist.
Since the 6.2 system doesn't like something about the migrated database and to avoid 'losing' the old database, I am being told to the the following on the current 5.2 system prior to migration to ensure a clean database:
1. reconstruct -m
2. And one step 1 is complete, reconstruct -r -f
Does this seem like the right thing to do? I would run "reconstruct -r" which will quickly detect and resolve simple errors, but running (1) and (2) seems un-necessary since this is unlikely to be the cause of the behaviour you mentioned.
There are known issues with upgrading from 5.2->6.2 e.g. bug #6460035 - "make_mboxlistdb_changes.sh script does not copy the log files" which will lead to the same error -- once again this is fixed in 118207-63.

Shane.

Incorrect unread mail number

My unread mail on one account on I phone 5 went to 15000.00, I have no unread mail.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Unread mails - but I can't find them!

My IMAP account is showing that their are 6 unread mails, but I can't find them in the inbox. Any idea why this is?

Sorry, "Message Status" not "Unread Mails".
You'll find it in View >> Sort By >> Message Status. Or by clicking on the dot between the flag- and from-field above the list of received mails.

Show only unread mail

I am connected to my html email account. I is on an Exchange server. In outlook there is a folder called Unread Mail. I have a lot of rules that filter my mail into folders so I use Unread Mail a lot in outlook. I would prefer if my BlackBerry also looked at this folder to show my emails, this way I would get all of those that were filtered and not just the ones in the inbox. Is there a way for me to do this? I am running version 6.0 bundle 2426 of the BlackBerry software on my phone.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Anyone have any thoughts on a way to do what I am looking for?

How can I filter so I can only see unread mail?

I hate it when an unread piece of mail is way behind lots of pages. I want to keep unread mail to a minimum. but sometimes a new unread mail appears listed and I can't find it. Is there some way to display only unread mail?

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

How can I show unread mail count of Gmail,Yahoo,AOL in my web application.

I want to show unread mail count for Gmail,Yahoo,AOL,MSN (e.g. Gmail (5) ) on my web application. Also when user click on unread mail count it should open new window for respective mail Inbox say gmail inbox that shows unread mail of user.
I have exercised on jgmail source code & it has used HttpClient API to login into gmail and access services of gmail but I am not able to execute it successfully.
what are the options for above questions?
Thanks In Advance

JavaMail supports two standard protocols for reading mail POP3 and IMAP.
As explained in the JavaMail FAQ (you found it, right?), the POP3 protocol
doesn't provide information on unread messages.
As far as I know, only Gmail supports IMAP. I don't believe either AOL or MSN
support even POP3, but I'm not sure.

Can't get rid of unread mail icon--shows 2 unread messages but can't find any

I've got a smart mailbox that shows unread messages so I can easily see what new and unread mail I have. The problem is it gives me the notification icon that indicates I have two unread messages, yet the mailbox does not show any messages as unread... This isn't a huge problem, but the Mail icon in my dock always shows that I have new mail, and the notification icon is small enough that I can't always clearly see if it's the "usual 2" or a higher number. What could be causing this and how do I either find the unread messages or get this icon reduced to where it only shows me REAL unread messages?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Wrong number of unread Mails in Dock icon

I have set Mail to check all mail folders to display the number of unread mails in the dock icon because I'm using IMAP accounts and have incoming mails filtered into different folders.
However, even if I mark all mails as read in every folder the dock icon still shows one unread message. I can't seem to find that damned mail.
Can I somehow reset the count? How do I find, which mail Mail still thinks is unread?
Thanks in advance.

Create a smart folder based on mail status is unread. Then go to that folder and you should find the mail
An "unread mail" smart folder is quite handy for other things as well, such as easily finding all unread mail that's scattered across all those folders -- much more efficient

Mail iOS 7 keeps sayingI have unread mail??

I downloaded iOS7 and all is fine except that it keeps telling me I have unread mail when I dont. Can anyone help me please?

I just checked the settings on my Iphone and "Delete from server is set to never" ( it has always been this way)
I do not see "Delete from server" on my IPad settings
I also changed that preference on my desktop "mail settings" I will let you know if that does the trick.

Get count of unread mails

Hi there!
Is there a way to get the count of unread mails (of Leopard Mail) via terminal? (Without using osascript/Applescript.) By reading out some XML file or sort of?
TIA

Thanks jpimbert! Well, sadly this doesn't work. And I think it's not sql related. It' Mail related as Mail doesn't count the unread mails correctly. Example: no unread mails in the "general" inbox, but one in an online folder, that appears in the inbox as read at the same time. I use gmail and my own imap server. Both show them up in the same way. So it has nothing to do with gmail either.
Those ghostly unread mails don't appear anywhere in Mail unless you create a smart folder showing "only unread mails". The former sql command shows them, too.
So, can the sql statement by modified in a way that it only reflects local unread mails? (Therefore unaware that they might be IMAP.)
