Indeed, often the VII is not played much, and until it is played at all, 
you can't distinguish between a ionian and a mixolydian. If a melody is 
supposedly in C ionian but doesn't contain a VII then you consider it as 
being C mixolydian and it wouldn't make much of a difference.

That said, I'd like to say that mixolydian modes are extremely common, and 
arguably more common than ionian ones nowadays! as a proof, think that a 
7th chord defaults to mixolydian, and you have to call it "major 7th" for 
it to mean ionian.
