Problem with email always showing unread

[Bdot-1]

The only settings I have for hotmail sync is to list the last 50-75-100-200 etc. Problem is when I get new email. Say I get two new email and delete them, it resyncs again within minutes and pulls two older email which will always show unread even though they have been read weeks ago. If I mark them read it is fine until I delete my next email then the issue persists. How do I get around this??

Go to your hotmail account from a computer and delete everything. EVERYTHING. I had the same issue and did this and now all is well.

With my comcast account the same will happen. In my case, if I log directly into my comcast account and mark all the emails as read, the email app on my phone ignores them and only picks up new emails. I tend to leave emails on the Comcast server for a while, then go in a do some housekeeping whenever I get a chance after I stored the emails that I want to keep. Maybe you could give that a try with your hotmail account. Might work and it's worth a try.

First off I'm not deleting all my email.. That's just not cool. Secondly why is there no sync by a date like every other phone?
Edit: All my emails are marked as read on hotmail.

I use Hotmail as well. Under my Sync Settings, when I tap "Period to Sync Email", my choices are All, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, or 1 month (mine is set to "All").

Yes, it's a Note 4. I'm on at&t. Not sure if the carrier makes a difference, though.

I guess the biggest problem I see is that when I read an email on browser, it doesn't show as read on the phone. Anything I'm missing ?
