Incoming mail marked as read

[ursamaior]

On one of my accounts, incoming mails are ever 'already read' (Mail app).
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

You've checked "Rules" in both the Mail app and at the server (webmail site)?

 

[ursamaior]

Thanks for the reply, but no... I never created rules for this account

I'll take that as a "yes" and you did check.

When you're looking at the email provider's web interface, the Mac's Mail app is NOT running and a new email arrives…is it read or unread?

'man in the middle' reading your email?
or company monitoring

🙂 I had misunderstood the meaning of 'check' (I thought you meant to ask if I had selected 'rules'). Anyway, yes, I had checked (in the sense of 'verified') both in the mail app and in the web interface

Good idea.
I tested sending some mails from another account under the following conditions:
- mail app not running, check performed by web interface and then by mail app
- mail app running, check performed simultaneously from the web interface and from the mail app
and in both cases the mails were displayed regularly and appeared 'unread'.
...actually I could not reproduce the problem

I exclude it. It's a personal account, I'm a freelancer and the problem occurs systematically, even with messages just sent and received.
But just to be on the safe side, I have now replaced the password

CC-ing yourself? Seem to recall that does happen in that situation.
