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.

  • Unread message count not updating in Mail.app

    I am running a MBP 15" with 10.4.10 and Mail.app (version 2.1.1 build 752.3) and as you can see in this screengrab here:
    the unread message count is not correctly updating.
    This may actually be something for the Mail dev' team to handle, unless some one else out there in the groups has some inside knowledge about this issue.
    For that matter, I do not know how to forward this to the Mail dev' team inside Apple, so if any one else does, please do.
    Cheers.

    Jason,
    What screengrab?
    What type of account do you have -- POP, IMAP or .mac? How many accounts do you have? Do you access your account from more than one computer?
    Unread message count where -- on the Mail Icon in the Dock or in individual mailboxes? In the Dock, the Unread message count will NOT reflect any messages moved to custom mailboxes by Rules, but only those in the Inboxes.

  • Why "Open in pages" not showing in Mail app ?

    Hey!
    I just bought Pages and Keynote apps, and i'm trying to open PDF files from Mail app.
    The problem is that in "Open in..." , Pages and Keynotes are not in the list of applications!
    Someone know why?

    You can annotate pdf files with Good Reader - using the paid version anyway. I didn't know there was a free version.
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/goodreader-for-ipad/id363448914?mt=8
    There are other apps that will let you annotate pdf files as well. iAnnotate is another.
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iannotate-pdf/id363998953?mt=8
    BTW - you can import Word Documents into Pages as well as Pages documents. But you are looking for a solution for pdf files. Check out the apps above and you can search for othes.

  • How can I update the "Last Saved" time of individual notes in the Mail app

    I have about 30 notes in my Mail app, which I conveniently sync to my iPhone via iTunes.
    Problem is, the iPhone only sorts by modification date, whereas I want them sorted alphabetically.
    If I knew where the individual notes files were located on the Mac, I could write a simple shell script to sort them and then touch the files to update the modification date.
    I look in user/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Notes.mbox, but the individual notes files don't appear accessible.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish what I'm after?
    TIA

    I suppose you could copy it from the Raw Source. View>Message>Raw Source

  • Why my ipad can not update the ios7.1.1

    why my ipad can not update the ios 7.1.1

    Hello there, crivera350.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for if you are unable to update your iOS device:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
    Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Use iTunes to restore your device.
    If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Why is my playlist not updating as i type in the search window anymore?

    why is my playlist not updating to reflect what i type on the search window anymore? just searches in the same window as you type i want it to reflect and show location on my plylist instead as it did before.

    I have code within the FLA, but I am also using .as files (with classes and such). The code does not update when I try to use it, or will not run. Currently I am getting 4 errors, all of which were related to syntax and have been fixed. I know this because I hit the check mark button at the top of code field and it confirmed that all syntax is okay. I believe the error may be due to a lack of understanding on my part regarding the source path and document classes.
    For example: I am using the code found here: http://www.learningactionscript3.com/download/45/ in the particle_system folder. My .as files and SWF are set up exactly the same as theirs, the example, but I can run theirs without error and mine with a perpetual 4 errors at runtime no matter how I fix it. I have made sure that the source path leads to the .as files being used ("Particle" and "ParticleDemo"), and confirmed that it should work by hitting the check mark next to the Document Class under Advanced ActionScript 3.0 Settings.
    Edit: So in short, yes, I run the SWF and my code not update. If I close out of Flash and open it up again with the same SWF and .as files, then it works. However, this is an extremely inefficient thing to do. I am thinking that maybe downgrading down to CS5 may do the trick, but not sure if it's worth the time.

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

    Any help can be appreciated.

  • Alternative ways to access Notes outside of Mail.app?

    Now that iPhone OS 3 syncs the iPhone Notes app with the Mac, I was disappointed that the sync is to the notes feature inside Mail.app rather than to something more flexible like a folder of flat files.
    Given this restriction, what alternative ways are there for non-Mail.app users to access notes? Is there perhaps a third-party app that syncs the Mail notes with flat files or something else?
    I've seen complaints that syncing Mail notes with GMail is unsatisfactory. Is there a way to sync them with Google docs or something else editable in a browser?
    Thanks for any tips.

    So sad that Apple would choose to sync iPhone Notes with a closed app that only has one way to access them, buried several clicks deep.
    And syncing them to Gmail as "regular messages (with unknown sender) in my main inbox" is pretty useless, too. For the sync to be useful, it should be bidirectional. Doesn't sound like there's any way to edit a note in Gmail and have it make its way back to the iPhone, correct?
    yes but you can't blame apple for that one. as I said, Notes are a feature of Mail only and other mail clients including web based ones wouldn't know what to do with them. they can only understand them in one way - as messages and there is no way to edit a message in your mailbox using gmail web interface for example.
    That said, has anybody figured out how the imap (?) magic happens that gets the messages out of Mail.app and into Gmail? Must one run Mail.app for it to take place?
    No, any mail client will do. it's just as I said, other mail client wouldn't know what to do with the notes. they will be displayed as regular emails in a separate Notes mailbox. that's what happens when I access my AIM account using Thunderbird for example. I see a separate Notes
    Would it be theoretically possible to use imap to sync the notes to some other service that would enable bidirectional editing?
    this isn't a matter of an IMAP service. it's a matter of being able to edit an imap message in an email client.

  • Notes Synching With Mail.app -- Unwanted

    Following my update to Snow Leopard, all of a sudden the Notes from my iPhone (OS 3.1) started showing up in my email. I do not want Notes syncing with Mail.app. How does one turn this "feature" off?
    I have searched through the iPhone settings in iTunes, the settings panel in the iPhone, MobileMe prefs, Mail.app prefs, several System prefs and looked through a bunch of threads here. Lots of talk about synching Notes but most of it prior to Snow Leopard and nothing about killing it. (In case the order makes any difference, the phone went to 3.0 then the Mac to SL then the phone to 3.1.)

    Info pane at the bottom, uncheck the Sync notes box.

  • Safari, Software Update and Mail apps won't connect

    Safari, Software Update and Mail apps won't connect to the Internet. Software Update fails with a suggestion of running Network Diagnostic. Network diagnostic says everything is fine. Firefox connects without any problems. Any ideas. This is my work computer and I need it to work.
    Chris

    Fixed it myself. Under network settings "Auto Proxy Discovery" was enabled. When I turned this off everything started working again. Not sure how this was enabled in the first place.

  • My iPhone 4s iOS 7.0.4 will not update music or apps from iTunes 11.1.3.  this was true of my pc and the new MacPro.

    My iphone 4s ios 7/0/4 will not update music or apps from itunes 11.1.3.  this was true with my pc since ios 7.0.3 even with update 7.0.4 and now continues with my new MacPro also runing itunes 11.1.3.   as most state in previous threads, syncs all non itunes related data with no issue and appears to work correctly on itunes data but then hangs on the last step of updating until it times out.  i have tried marking specific music to transfer, setting up new playlist, deleting some old playlist on phone but stopped short of restoring my phone back to new due to the amount of non itunes data that i will lose.  The itunes setup on the macpro was completely with the download of all music from a previous external backup and the creation of new playlist - on the first sync with existing phone it did ask to overwrite all phone itunes data with macpro itunes data which i did accept - no different result - no changes on phone.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved. 
    If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Add to Address Book not working in mail.app

    On all my computers : MacBook Air and Mac Mini, the Add to Address Book (command + Shift + Y) is not working in Mail.app.
    It doesn't add the email and name in the Address Book (now called Contact).
