Windows 10: Mail app for Windows 10 not marking emails as read if they were read in a different email...

Hello, If I check my email messages on my phone and read them, when I open up Mail for Windows 10 on my PC, it doesn't recognize that I've already read the emails elsewhere. As a result, I show as having thousands of unread email messages in Mail for Windows 10 even though they've already been read somewhere else. It's not syncing up. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Windows 10 Mail not marking emails as read

I have just set up windows 10 mail to use both my gmail and yahoo mail accounts. However, when I look at an email in the Mail app, it does not mark them as read (for either account).

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks

 

Windows 10 Mail not marking emails as read

1. Go to mail app, Setting > Reading Pane > "Mark item as read" section.
   
2. There you can select how you want the mail app to know when any mail is read, either by:
   
   • marking it as read on selection change, or
     
   • marking it as read if mail is viewed by more than 5 (or any) seconds
     

 

Deleting emails in Windows Mail does not delete emails across all mail clients?

I have setup my gmail account in Windows 10's standard mail app.

I would like to make it so when I delete, read, or otherwise modify an email in the Windows 10 client, for that to show across all my other email reading devices.

For example: When I delete an email on my iPhone, it also is already deleted when I open the mail app on a mac.

Currently, reading an email or marking it as read does not sync. Deleting an email also does not sync.

I would like to be able to delete an email on Windows 10 Mail, and have it be deleted across all mail clients, or read and email or so on.

How do I enable this?
