Hi Severin This can sometimes happen if there is a mix of POP and IMAP accounts being used across different devices. So if some are set up to use POP3 and others IMAP, then that is why the dots will disappear as others have been read.
Do you know which devices are using which? (you can check in Apple Mail under Preferences - Accounts. and on the iOS devices it’s in Settings - Mail - Accounts - tap on the account.) It will then show as POP3 or IMAP. This will help narrow it down, which may be “marking it off” and which aren’t. Hope that helps. And no, I certainly wouldn’t comment on over Mac-intising,…beside’s I don’t think I’m in any boat to comment,…as I myself have an iMac, MacBook Pro Retina 15”, MacBook 15” Touch Bar, iPad Air2, iPhone 7 and Apple Watch,…and that’s even before I start on everything else in the house,….lol. :)) Besides,…can you EVER have too much Apple stuff??? :) Kind regards Daniel --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: <daniel AT macwizardry.com.au> Web: <http://www.macwizardry.com.au> **For everything Apple** NOTE: Any information provided in this email may be my personal opinion and as such should be taken accordingly, and may not be the views of MacWizardry.
