New Outlook Not Syncing Read Status for Gmail

It's infuriating. I have never obtained a relevant answer for any question on here. Microsoft has a "road map" for new features that customers will never use yet the basic/ essential functionality of any email app such as marking an email as read or showing notifications when it clearly says in settings "show notifications when Outlook is closed" and it does not...they don't those admit to those bugs, don't prioritizes them and from my experience 3 years could go by and none of it gets addressed. Don't waste your breath (or your valuable time) people.

I disagree. This was a workaround, not a solution. The issue would need to be resolved in a working manor to be a solution. I know, word semantics but still.

It’s hard to believe that there hasn’t been an actual resolution to this issue.

I agree with Ritchie Scott on both counts. One would think that the most valuable company on Earth could fix this problem. This isn't a difficult problem to solve.

I have the same problem. I left Gmail because of issues and went to Outlook because I trust Microsoft. So far a bad decision. I wish MS would step up and offer real help instead of expecting clients to solve these issues when there is no solution.

Old Outlook's support for GMail was pretty much non-existent (at least, without an add-in). The Windows Mail and calendar client was actually quite respectable in handling it. Too bad they couldn't just lift that protocol handling code into the new Outlook.
