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 miss my Windows phone.

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?

Just got back from a vacation in Poland.
Second time I've been there, great country!
My girlfriend is from Poland (this was my first time with her) so I guess I'll be going more often.
We were staying in Krakow, which is a beautiful city, or at least the city center is.
Been to Auschwitz and it's even worse than what you see on TV 
Salt mine Wieliczka was very impressive as well (but not in a maximum killing capacity kind of way).
We also went to Energylandia, great if you like roller coasters, which I do!
From my previous visit I can also recommend Malbork, largest castle in the world.
The "in-laws" are nice too, even though I can't really talk to them.
Can see myself going back again

Been there. Very very nice, indeed.

Glad you had a good time.

Reality is often way way harsher that what normal people would be able to handle.
I love watching documentaries and I couldn't make myself watch the one on an infamous crime that happened in Delhi on 16th of Dec 2012.

And sadly the Quote of Einstein about human idiocy and universe, can be applied here as well.

My surname ends "ski" and I almost speak the language but w/ a good accent and it seems I am the only one not to have visited the homeland of my forebearers. Na razie do widzenia.

Isn't it interesting how, knowing what happened there, merely being at that same location can convey so much more than actual images of the actual atrocities that took place.
Sadly I know people who know nothing about and have no interest in history, even as recent as this is, and wouldn't "appreciate" being there (and I know that's not the right word I should be using there, but I'm coming up blank right now). As they say, people who don't know their history are condemned to repeat it. You have to worry about these people.

People that willingly deny it are even worse than people that do not know about it.

You know, that didn't even cross my mind when I wrote my response, and that is an even scarier reality. Points for bringing it up.
