New Outlook Not Syncing Read Status for Gmail

Same for me, till Sunday it worked perfect. From monday on it stopped syncing again!

Does it reflect read/unread status? For example, if you read e-mails from a GMail client (like the web site or phone app), do these show as "read" in Outlook? Likewise, if you read message in Outlook, do they show up as "read" in GMail?

Yes, it is now syncing read/unread email status between Gmail and the new Outlook, both ways, whether done in Outlook or Gmail.

Well that didn't last long. An update to my earlier post, shortly after the Outlook-Gmail status started working properly, my Outlook has now stopped syncing read/unread status, but only one way. When I make an email read or unread in Outlook, it does not change the status in Gmail (when I check it on Gmail web client or on the phone app), BUT when I make an email read/unread in Gmail (web or phone), it does update that email message's status in Outlook.

Are Microsoft/Outlook programmers really this incompetent or is this some exceptionally difficult issue to resolve between these two major email clients and/or the email protocols? It is mind-boggling whatever may be the case.

It works for now!!! I can see when I click the message in Outlook it becomes as read in Outlook and also in Gmail!

Depending on which email provider you use, you may be able to set up rules/filters directly with them. I don't know if New Outlook will map those folders.

Glad to hear that the syncing of read status appears to be working. The other problem that I had with New Outlook was that it did not allow setting up rules to direct email to folders other than the inbox. Does anyone know if this has been implemented now?
