Microsoft...please fix this. Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
I'm using the "new" Outlook client that is now bundled nowadays with a default Windows 10 installation. It's much better than the previous generic email client that was included, but this in particular bothers me.
The client downloads the content of my inbox. Some messages are marked as read, others as unread. I manually mark everything as read. I don't even shut down the app, I leave it running in the background all the time.
When the mailbox is refreshed, the messages that I explicitly marked as read revert back to unread. It's like it's not even relaying the fact that messages are now read back to the server, so the refresh undoes my changes.
THIS IS ONLY FOR GMAIL ACCOUNTS. I'm also using the same client to fetch accounts from hotmail.com, outlook.com, yahoo.com, and those all work correctly. Only the Gmail accounts exhibit this behavior.
Has anyone else seen this?
[Edit]
I suspect if I go to the actual gmail site and mark the unread items as read, the local account might fix itself (I haven't tried it yet), but the whole point of having a client that can manage multiple mailboxes is to avoid using the web interface (yuck!).
[Edit 2]
WTH...if I shut down the app and reload it, it now remembers I've changed messages from unread to read. So, it doesn't bother persisting that until you shut down, and refreshing the mailbox takes precedence over what the client is tracking...?

On a related note... aren't you the same guy who only uses one browser so only one company is tracking you? I hate to be the bearer of bad news...

You can gather a lot more by snooping on the browser than just by snooping on email.
Besides, I only have a gmail account because for all intents and purposes, you can't setup an Android phone without one[*].
And no, I don't browse on my phone. I keep as much of it as possible separate from what I do on a PC.

I solved this with... Mozilla Thunderbird Mail client: Thunderbird — Free Your Inbox. — Thunderbird[^]
It really does work very nice. I know that the outlook client is "right there" inside win10 and I got trapped by it for a while too. However, I finally just went ahead and installed Thunderbird and was much happier. Very easy to setup and I have something like 7 or 8 email boxes (with various domains) and they are all managed very nicely.
Check out this video I made of an issue[^] where the cursor in Outlook client is an I-bar even when it is over the scrollbar. I'm not sure if MS ever fixed it.

I use Thunderbird on another machine as my RSS reader. It gets updated so frequently, I don't really want to double the number of installs I have to perform every week (if not more).

Ditto on using Thunderbird. I have used since day 1 (or there about). Have had very few issues. I use it on PC's and laptops. Not on phone.

Is a Refresh the same thing as a Sync?

That's a good question. I see a Sync button under View, but as far as I can tell, there's no button to Refresh.

I was using the new Outlook for my Yahoo mail and Gmail. I have the same problem as OP. Now I am not using new Outlook. I revert to checking my emails on web browser.
Microsoft wants ad revenue on the new Outlook but it does not bother to QA and release bug-free application.

Just a follow-up:
Even though shutting down/restarting the app yesterday did leave my read messages marked as such, this morning I came back to the app and those same Gmail messages have come back again as unread.
On can only conclude it does make some effort to persist the read state, but that gets clobbered when re-downloading the mailbox. I suspect it never tells the server that messages have changed state, and the client just goes with whatever the server says.
How long has email existed for? Shouldn't this be a solved problem by now?
