Email Notifications are coming in as read … not unread

Hi, There is no setting in smtp that would cause the email to be already read. Is this something you configured in your Gmail account?

Hi,
I’ve checked gmail settings and I can’t find anything that might be doing this. I got google apps support looking into this but they are puzzled too and suggested maybe the plugin was doing something?

This is indeed correct behaviour even if annoying. I think the only way around it if I remember rightly is to create a filter which marks the email as unread can you try that and let me know if it works

Hi,

Thanks for the tip. I’ve actually tried the filters and the only options were:
– Skip the Inbox (Archive it)
– Mark as read
– Star it
– Apply the label: Choose label…
– Forward it add forwarding address
– Delete it
– Never send it to Spam
– Send canned response: Choose canned response…
– Always mark it as important
– Never mark it as important
– Categorise as…

I can’t seem to find one that sets an email to unread :o(

Have I missed something or maybe an app from the labs?

Thanks

Oh, sorry. You could also try setting the “to” (NOT from!) address to [email protected].

This is called “plussing” – see https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/26053/gmail-address-with-within-the-recipient-name and it might fool gmail into not marking as read.

No promises though, as I’ve not tried it.

Ohh .. that sounds like it might work.

Just to clarify. If I’m using my google apps email it is in the format [email protected] using my own doamin … not gmail.com

Are you saying in my Gravity Form to put the notification ‘to’ address as [email protected] ?

Thanks

Should work – as long as there’s something between the + and the @.
