Why are my emails being marked as read automatically?

I recently changed from iPhone 4 to 5; I never experienced any email issues with the iphone4. Now my emails on iphone5 ;same account etc) are sometimes marked as read before I view them. This happens every night over night without fail, and invariable happens during the day too (although not always- I can't yet see any pattern in this). It's extremely frustrating as I could rely on looking at my lock screen on iphone4 to see my recent unread emails; and I now cannot rely on this (and there's normally nothing there as its all marked as read in my inbox, before I've seen it! Then I have to check through each message to make sure I haven't missed something).
There are no other devices running to access this inbox; it is set up on my home laptop through outlook (as it was with iphone4); but this is only switched on about once a week just to download the messages.
Please does anyone have a solution to this very frustrating issue? I did not expect that by upgrading I would be worse off!

  • Mail being marked as read automatically

    I have iOS 6.1.4 on iPhone 5 and multiple mail accounts.
    Gmail or Exchange - mail is being marked as read automatically even if I have not touched the mail. Not sure why this is happening but it is definitely an issue. I also beta tested version 7 beta 2 ios and it does the same thing.
    with 5 minutes of the mail running on the iphone and no user intervention mail files are marked as read. The read is then synced to Gmail and Exchange accounts so you miss mail as all are marked as read.

    I have stumbled across and answer to a similar question posted in 2012.

  • Why are my emails being randomly remarked as read?

    When I go through and read my emails, they are marked as read. However, randomly, some of the most recent emails that I have read will be marked (without my doing) as unread. This doesn't happen every time, but more often than not. Is this just a bug, or is there something I can do to fix this?

    Clayton,
    It is much discussed in these forums, and some others. The frequent discussion in these forums about whether to use Plain Text or RTF is relevant to some recipient email programs seeing inline attachments as embedded images due to the presence of the HTML that results from RTF when multiple fonts and attachments are present. Btw, the fact that the person composing sees the attachments with View in Place has no bearing on this issue involving HTML that results from RTF.
    Outlook and Outlook Express don't handle Rich Text well, even when they create it. The messages you have been sending would, I am sure, appear fine in Thunderbird, example on either a Windows or a Mac platform. Mail auto converts RTF to Plain if only one font, or one size/color font is utilized, but if more than one font, even if only introduced in the Signature, then continues with RTF, which then gets converted to HTML. In Plain Text, attachments placed throughout the message will likely work with many recipient email clients, but not all of those. Placing all attachments last -- an option now offered in Mail 3 -- is the surest help when you don't know the recipients system well.

  • All incoming emails being marked as 'read' on my Droid x

    All incoming emails to my pop3 or imap accounts are being automatically marked as 'Read'.
    Any fix for this issue?
    If I have outlook open, which is running exchange client  Outlook 2007, and my Droid is running imap or pop3, messages being delivered are being displayed as READ.
    I have tried closing outlook, and then downloading emails to my droid without reading any of the 80 unread emails - then turning off my Droid....Followed by opening Outlook, but the messages show up in outlook as being READ.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    Have you installed any apps that auto display the emails when they come in? If so the auto read feature may be triggering this, I had a app at one time that showed my emails in the preview window and it made the emails be listed as read... I would check your apps and make sure you are not using something like this unknowingly.

  • Why are new unread messages marked as read?

    These problems popped up out of the blue last week. Nothing has changed in the Mail settings. I've worked with my ISP to isolate the problem as a Mac problem, not an ISP issue.
    1. The new messages downloaded into Mail are not marked as unread, even if they they've never been opened or previewed. An occasional email will mark as unread. However, even if 5-10 new emails are downloaded at a time, they will usually all be identified as read.
    The unread count doesn't change, even when new unread messages are downloaded.
    2. At the same time that the issue popped up with the unread emails, a new Mail issue started. When Mail checks for updates it often shows that a new email is being downloaded and gives the audio alert for a new mail, but nothing has actually downloaded. I've checked my filters, trash and web mail to confirm that no new emails exist.
    What I've tried:
    1. There are no software updates.
    2. Worked with ISP to identify the issue as being a Mail issue. Settings are all appropriate.
    3. Disabled Mail account, shut down Mail, shut down Mac, restarted Mac, enabled Mail. Problem continues.

    This might be way off base because I do not have a really good understanding of email systems, but look at these:
    1. When you Sync your iPhone, under the "Info" tab in iTunes, do you have it set to sync your email settings? If this is not checked, your iPhone and computer Mail settings could be different and Mail could think you read a message on your iPhone when you haven't.
    2. In Settings in your iPhone, go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your Account>Account Info>make sure everything is correct here and then>Advanced> check incoming settings and see if there is anything in IMAP Path Prefix. I think this should be blank for your POP account.
    Also, since this is a POP account, by definition, if you have read a message, shouldn't it be excluded from your Inbox? I'm guessing there is a IMAP vs POP conflict somewhere.

  • Emails being marked as read on Z10

    I have a major issue on my blackberry Z10. emails are marked as read even though i have not read them.
    I have seen another post where users have an issue with mails being downloaded on Outlook. I thought my issue was similar and hence spent an entire day without launching outlook. nevertheless emails continue to be marked as read.
    if i have received 10 emails, i go into 1 to read it, but when i come back into the hub, the other 9 emails are marked as read as well.
    however, once i re-mark the emails as unread they stay marked unread. but this has to be done manually.
    nonetheless, this is a very frustrating process for someone who uses unread emails as a tool to follow-up on tasks.
    BTW: i am using version 10.0.10.82 now and have regularly updated the OS, but faced the same issue for 3 months.

    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.

  • Received emails being marked as read when they are unread!

    Since downloading the ios7 update on my iphone 5s I have had an issue with my emails. I have two accounts (both yahoo) linked my phone which I use for business. Therefore receiving emails is of the utmost importance. Basically what happens is this. I will receive a tone to say I have an incoming email. When I look at the home screen it may show as an example that I have 2. However, when I click into the email icon on the home screen to read the incoming mail it shows many more received earlier that I was notified if and they are shown as read. I spoke to apple about this several weeks ago and they advised me to reset my phone, which I did. It fixed the problem but now several weeks later it has come back. Can anyone help as apple have no clue as to how this happening. It is getting to the point where I am losing business as clients email me to say they sent a mail several days previously which clearly I have missed. I don't have this problem with my ipad - the emails are working perfect on that.

    Sounds like you both have the same messed up add on. Try restarting Thunderbird with the add ons disabled and see if things go back to normal.
    You can do this from the Help Menu.

  • Unread emails being marked as read

    I have noticed a strange occurrence on mu ipad mini which I haven't seen before.
    My emails are set to download manually and not be pushed.
    When I go into my account and download any emails they download fine and are marked unread. If I were to switch come out of the email program without reading any and go back in they are sitting there still unread. All good so far. If however I were to pull the column down to refresh (to see if there are any other email) and there is another mail/mails, the emails are downloaded and all the other unread mails unread markers disappear as if they are read.

    Hey kabsl,

  • Why are my emails being automatically deleted

    I have changed to a new computer and now find my emails are being automatically deleted every 10 days.

  • Why are my emails being received in triplicate?

    For some reason a couple of days ago I suddenly started receiving all my emails in triplicate? Help!!!
    Also on the left under all my folders it says Popstat1 Popstat 2 and so forth. Any suggestions will be gratefully received. Thank you Heath

    Your 'popstate.dat' file keeps a record of what it has downloaded, so that when it connects with the server and looks in the server Inbox, it should not download anything that was previously downloaded.
    In your case, you have kept old previously downloaded mail in the server Inbox and the confused popstate.dat is seeing them as needing to be downloaded.
    This means that the 'popstate,dat' file must be corrupted - gone awol - because it keeps downloading previously downloaded emails.
    You need to access your Profile Folders and delete the 'popstate.dat' file.
    Profile Folders are hidden folders.
    make hidden files and folders visible:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    access Profile Folder:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
    In thunderbird:
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * click on 'Show Folder'
    * a new window opens showing your Profile Folder.
    * Close Thunderbird now - this is important
    * Click on 'Mail' folder
    * click on 'mail account name'
    * look for 'popstate.dat' file and delete it.
    if you have other files - Popstat1 Popstat 2 - delete them as well.
    * close the window.
    * Open Thunderbird.
    What will this do?
    When Thunderbird restarts, it will create a new 'popstate.dat' file. The downside is this. As it has no knowledge of what has been downloaded, it will download everything that is on the server Inbox, but only once.
    The good thing is this. This should fix the popstate.dat file and prevent further downloads of previously downloaded mail.
    You will then need to delete any duplicates that were previously downloaded. There is an addon that you could use to help with duplicates.

  • Why are my emails being split into mime-Attachments?

    Hi,
    For some reason whenever I attach a file to my emails (Mail v3.5) some portion of the email text is being truncated into another attachment (mime-attachment) when it lands at the recipient.
    Many times the recipient is not opening the mime-attachment unaware that it contains part of my email.
    It seems to happen in either plain or rich text email formats and whether or not the attachments are attached as windows friendly or not.
    Is there some way to stop this happening?
    Regards,
    Clayton

  • Why are my emails being deleted since I've updated to ios7? And how do I stop this?

    Good old ios7 has taken away the ability to know how many emails you want to store I.e. 25, 50, 200 etc. It also takes it upon itself to just delete emails whenever it fanices. I'm not talking about confirming deletes once you've pressed the trash can icon, I'm talking about just deleting it itself when it wants. Can you please tell me how to stop this auto deleting and how to store more emails? Thank you.

    This will occur when you share an apple id with someone.
    ON each devices go to settings - mail - send&receive- remove or uncheck the apple id.

  • Why are my emails being sent out multiple times, ie from me mac and icloud?

    Hi. When I send an email from Mail program it sents from each option, ie mac, me and icloud...

    Mail > Preferences > Composing > Send new message from:
    Select the address you want.
    Best.

  • Why are my emails being saved in the cloud?

    Hi kids,
    for some reason, Thunderbird is not directly storing my emails on my computer. when I go to "sent" Ai have to wait for them to be downloaded from "somewhere"
    I do not want this program to be attached to the "cloud" in any fashion other than for direct sending and receiving of emails.
    How is this achieved?
    Thank you

    I dont think that is the answer I am looking for.is not saving
    the Thunderbird program is not saving sent emails on my computer directly. For some reason when I go to the sent folder, I have to wait for them to download.
    additionally it is constantly trying re down load all the emails previously received.
    Previously it did not do this. I reinstalled my windows system a month or two ago and then installed the new version of Thunderbird and this started happening.
