Why are unread messages changing to appear as if read

Just upgraded our PC and the emails now seem to be marking themselves as read when they have not been opened yet. Sometimes I have opened one and then marked it as unread, but then it changes back later to unbold. How can I fix this?

Log out of iMessage on your Mac, and the messages will be forced to only go to your phone.   If your phone has no signal at time the message was sent to you, that could explain why Mac is getting but not your phone.
I'd first try to logout of iMessage on both devices, then reactivate first on your phone, then your Mac.   See if problem fixes itself.

  • I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

    I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

    it's meant to work like that
    so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
    to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
    or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
    but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
    the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

  • Why are my messages being sent through email rather than iMessage?

    Why are my messages being sent as email rather than iMessage?

    Not being sent as email - shown as being sent from an email address because you have selected to start new iMessage conversations from your Apple ID email address on your iPhone.
    When registering an iPhone with iMessage, the phone number along with your Apple ID email address is registered with it.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From - select your iPhone's phone number.

  • Why are my messages getting deleted?

    My older text messages from one contact keep getting deleted. How do I stop this and why is it happening?
    I know for a fact there are many messages before where the conversation appears to begin on my phone.

    If your posts are being deleted, it is because they are in violation of the Terms of Use (https://discussions.apple.com/___sbsstatic___/apple/tutorial/tou.html), which you agreed to when you signed up here, even if you didn't take the time to read them.

  • Why are my messages going to my old phone?

    i got a new phone tye other day, but my text from iphone users are still showingg up on  my old iphone (4).  so, at this moment i have:
    1. cleared data and cache o  the new phone.
    2.changed my apple id password
    3.erased old pbone to factory settings.
    help.please.

    Are the messages that are going to the old phone being sent to the Apple ID possibly? On the new phone, when you go into Settings>Messages, is iMessage activated? If so, and you go to Send & Receive, is the phone number gray and checked? If it is, is there a checkmark by anything else? What about the settings on the other device? Why do you have the other device on? Is it being used like an iPod?

  • Why is unread messages not updated in mail.app until restart

    I have imap accounts in mail.app and on my iPhone and my iPod Touch and they are are all setup the same. If I read a msg on the mail.app, it is marked as read correctly and this also shows up on the iPhone and the iPod. But if I read the msg any other way, like on the iPhone, iPod or webmail, the msg is marked as read on all devices except the mail.app
    The unread mail count will be correct if the mail.app program is restarted, but reoccurs as soon as the above is repeated.
    This seems to be a problem that was reported earlier in 2007 on this forum (see link below) and marked as answered but I couldn't find any fixes, so if I missed them could anyone direct me to that or let me know if this is still an issue that needs to be fixed?

    Thanks. After the rebuild of the indices the messages were again visible. It took indeed more than an hour. The help of mail was OK to find out how to do this (see below)  
    I had clicked first on the 'Postbus | bouw opnieuw op' rebuild option, but nothing happened.
    The only minor thing now is that the Mail app icon shows in red more than 100 although there are only a few unread mails.
    Berichten opnieuw indexeren
    .          Stop Mail als het programma is geopend.
    .          Ga naar~/Bibliotheek/Mail/V2/MailData en verwijder alle bestanden die beginnen met 'Envelope Index', zoals 'Envelope Index' en 'Envelope Index-shm'.
Om de map 'Bibliotheek' in uw thuismap weer te geven, gaat u naar de Finder en kiest u 'Ga' > 'Bibliotheek' terwijl u de Option-toets ingedrukt houdt.
    Open Mail.
 Mail maakt vervolgens nieuwe Envelope Index-bestanden aan. Dit proces kan enkele minuten in beslag nemen, afhankelijk van het aantal berichten dat Mail opnieuw indexeert.

  • Dock icon says there are unread messages - there arent' any

    Since a few weeks I've had this problem:
    Every morning I go through my e-mail, after reading every one of them and marking them as read, the Dock icon tells me there are still unread messages.
    Even selecting everything in my inbox (28512 messages), marking everything unread and then marking everything read (an operation that takes quite a while) there are still unread messages left, according to the Dock icon.
    The only way I know how to fix it is to restart Mail.
    Anyone know what's going on here? It's getting quite irritating...

    I, too, am having a problem finding "phantom" unread messages. I've got a number of accounts set up and three of them are showing this problem. It started when I needed to restart mail from a time machine back-up after a problem with my system. The mail messages were all imported into the mail database and some show now as unread. I've been through all the in boxes and found no unread messages...
    any help would be welcome.

  • Why are i messages not delivered?

  • Why are deleted messages not going to deleted folder

    In Account settings > server settings I have set it to move deleted messages to a particular folder but thunderbird appears to be permanently deleting messages as I can't find them anywhere.
    This is with an IMAP account.

    What messages? iMessages? Mail?

  • Thunderbird is telling me that there is an unread message and it is one I read several days ago, listed in bold type again.

    Every day or so Thunderbird says there is an unread message. I look for it and find it on the list of my messages received. It is in bold type as if it is unread. However I had read the message days ago.
    I had this problem a couple weeks ago and decided to delete all the messages in my inbox. That solved the problem for a couple weeks, now it is back. I thought at first it was because my inbox was getting overloaded but now there are only a couple hundred messages in it. Maybe I should just uninstall Thunderbird and then install it again.

    remove all mails from the inbox (Copy them to another folder or delete them. It makes litle difference.
    Now Select File menu (alt+F) > compact folders.
    I am guessing there is some corruption hiding away in there. A compact should fix it, but will do it better on an empty folder.

  • Why are emails in public folders being marked as read when viewed in the viewing pane when I have disabled this in settings

    I am using office 2010 on a windows 7 PC. In outlook I have changed the settings for the reading pane so that emails are not marked as read unless I actually open them. This is working for emails in my inbox and outbox but not for emails in public
    folders. Emails in public folders are marked as read as soon as I click on them. Do public folders have a different setting for marking email as read in the reading pane?
    It is important for me that emails in the public folders are not marked as read when i click on them as I need to read through hundreds of project emails in these folders and need to be able to distinguish between emails I have read and actioned
    and emails I have just clicked on while searching for an email I need. This folder serves as an archive for my emails so i cant delete them once I have read them. I also don't have permission to label them or create tasks from them. 

    Hi,
    I tested in my lab, it worked for public folders. My Outlook version is Outlook 2013.
    Please open Outlook in safe mode to check result.
    If possible, please check if this issue persists from a different client server.

  • Why are my message attachments now represented by question marks? They appear in the conversations and details like this on my iPad but are there on my iPhone.

    Since running the battery right down on my iPad, software up to date, my message attachments appear as question marks in both the conversations and details. They are still there on my phone. How can I fix this please? I've reset networks. Turned messaging off and back on. Turned the iPad off and back on.

    The jpegs I am sending are 5x7 at 300 dpi and on the order of 1 Mb when I send them based on the jpeg quality.
    In the Mail email window select Actual Size in the Image Size menu.

  • Why are my fonts changing while I type in cs5?

    I just got a new PC and installed AI CS5.  Been using it for a long time with no issues on previous PC.  Now when I attempt to edit text, while I type the font mysteriously changes to Chinese characters or some odd, widely spaced serif font.  Type menu won't change it.  I'm baffled, and it's made AI nearly unusable for my needs.  While typing, a strange gray bar appears below the characters, which is a sign that this problem is starting.  Restarting the application fixes it for a few minutes, but not every time, and it reverts back to the same problem shortly after.
    I'm probably missing some helpful details, so please ask for clarification.  Any help would be invaluable.
    Thanks.

    Hi Mylenium,
    you are completely correct. I think the issue was due to some strange document settings carried over from CS3. I ended up trashing those files and pasting into fresh CS5 documents, which corrected the issue. However I can't reproduce the issue now
    Thanks for your help though, and I appologise for the lack of documentation.
    Cheers,
    Cheyenne
