Read Gmail is still showing unread in ATT Android 4.4.2 Mail

A

AC Question

I am using the Android stock Email app. When I read the email on Gmail (via web login), Android Email is not being updated to show "read". Yahoo mail works fine.

I am using the default email app. The icon is the back of envelop with a red "at" symbol.

The phone is Samsung S4 Active.

When I read the Gmail on the email app, it will update Gmail as read, but not the other way.

Check the settings on the stock app to see if it's IMAP or POP3. If you can't tell, delete the account from that email app, then add it back and let it set up as IMAP. (If the account itself is POP3, change it - POP3 is for using only 1 email program on an account.)
