I was happily using older version of Outlook on windows but a popup made to switch to latest version (pre) of Outlook or mail not sure what its called now.

I am able to receive and send emails using outlook flawlessly however the issue is these emails are not getting marked as read, temporary its read but very soon again shows as unread. I checked on web Gmail as well it shows as unread. I dont think this could be sync issue because I receive emails on time.

What is going on any idea?

    I honestly thought Mailbird died when it forced all its “life time” customers to buy the product again? 😂

    That ship has sailed long ago for me. I've been a very happy Mailbird user for 7-8 months now. MS did me a huge favor by dragging their heels on this or else I never would have known about Mailbird.

    I've had Focused Inbox turned off for months - ever since first using New Outlook and the problem has always remained for me.

    Don't want to jinx it but appears to have started working as of today...

    Outlook version 1.2024.508.600
    Client version 20240621005.07

    Hello everyone,

    I've also been grappling with this issue for way too long and have exhausted every option. I decided to take a different approach. I removed my Gmail account from my Outlook app on my iOS device. Within a minute, I regained the ability to flag messages, mark them as read, or observe messages as read after they appeared in the preview pane. I encourage others to give this solution a try and see if it works for them.

    Good luck,
