iPhone: some emails in “All Sent items” showing as unread

On my iPhone I have an IMAP account for yahoo.

when I send an email it is saved in my (yahoo server) [sent] items folder.

It also appears in my iPhone “All Sent Items” folder. However, some messages get marked as unread and others do not have an unread status (as I’d expect in a Sent folder, it’s not my inbox after all).

If if I open the message in my Sent items there is no blue dot.

If I open the same message in my All Sent items there is a blue dot which then vanishes after a short period of time. This then makes the unread status null and the blue dot, and the subsequent unread message count resets.

This behaviour would appear to be a bug. Is there a permanent fix; or a process to reset all unread statuses in the all sent items folder; or a configuration setting that needs to be set?

AOL and Yahoo are the same mail servers. If it has to be an Apple issue why are users reporting it on Android devices, Chromebooks and Windows, and just with Yahoo! An AOL?

Same happening to me. I've tried everything but it happens in my Mac and If I add my yahoo account to my iPad, it happens too. It's been like that for the past few weeks.

I apologize for my tone. It's pretty common for people to ask questions that have already been answered simply because they didn't check first.

I simply ignored your snarky reply as you were not being helpful.

Yes, I’m running Mojave, and iOS 13 in my other 2 devices and it’s happening. Obviously there is something to do with Yahoo.

I have had this issue occurring for several weeks and today it just stopped out of the blue - just like it started. Hopefully it does not return.

Yessssss! Me too. Let's hope it lasts.

Dec 4, 2019 8:01 PM in response to DavidRyer

That's because i pushed and pushed yahoo on twitter via DM until someone escalated it to their engineers.

Let's hope it lasts.

i am in a windows 10 environment and I have seen a couple of comments that it happened when it begam-for mac users- upon installation of Catalina which leads me to believe it is an apple problem.

Again If i send myself an email from yahoo in the web brows - no problem

but when i send myself an email from ios app then i get two copies in my sent folder

And now I am seeing double sent folder meails when i send to external people as well - bit only when i send from stock apple email.

Apple problem IMHO

even if you disagree, someone has got to step up and take care of this
