I am having a strange new issue with my gmail app.
When i read an email on my desire via the original gmail app, it doesn’t get marked as read on the actual web version. I go to gmail on my pc and see ih ave 20 unread messages, buti have read all these on the phone. I though the new gmail update would have fixed this but it hasn’t.
Also, it seems to be taking quite a long time to send out emails. Have i been stupid and turned of an option somewhere? Strangely enough when i press menu and labels the inbox says unread of 20, but when i click on it they are all read.
Auto Sync is on, background data is on, gmail sync is on. I have tried manually refreshing.
Any ideas?
It's not a bug, it's always been like this for me
Really,
this has never been the case before. Not, even my email notification bar shows 14 unread, when there should only be one. Before when there was only 1 unread the notification bar showed the email subject aswell, now it just says 14 unread!!!

Maybe u need to enable IMAP on the web version. It always worked for me.
I actually like the fact it doesn't update online. I tend to scan read on my phone and properly read online or once downloaded to Outlook (at which point they're archived).
If I refresh my inbox online it then shows them as read/archived but it doesn't bother me tbh
IMAP is enabled, I havent touched any setting on the web as i have no need to use the web version. i read and reply to most of my emails via the app.
wardy277, I have exactly the same issue.
Everything works fine until a few days. Now my phone Gmail can not send email, "read" flag is not visible on web, deleted message stays on web application, unread message counter is broken (it shows, for example, 10 unread mail, when there must be only 2), and so on... Everything works as expected before.
Hope Google will fix it soon.
I'm glad i am not the only one. strange that it is only limited to a few people. Maybe there is a setting somwhere or a broken connection via t-mobile?
My phone was doing this earlier today. I found a solution to get your gmail app marking mail as read on the server again. Go into settings-applications-gmail and clear the data on the app then open gmail again and it will re-sync your mail. This will fix the problem or at least it did for me. This also solves issues of the app not sending messages.
I have the exact same problem. Clearing data works ..but after the first time .. it again goes back into the passive mode
A little late...
I know this thread is quite old but I just fixed this on my windows 8 phone.
I have the same problem with my HTC 8x. I wrote a simple script in Google Scripts that runs every 15 minutes and marks ALL email as read and then goes back thru the inbox and marks all my inbox items as unread.
Solves my problem.
When I get the time I will make the script to where it skips the inbox altogether and just marks any items NOT in my inbox as read.
Here's the code:
Code:
/* Marks all emails as read, loops back and marks all inbox items as unread */
function markNonInboxItemsRead(threadId) {
/* Mark all items read */
var threadsAll = GmailApp.search('is:unread');
for (var i = 0; i < threadsAll.length; i++){
threadsAll[i].markRead();
}
/* Mark any inbox item as unread /=*/
var threadsInbox = GmailApp.search('label:Inbox');
for (var j = 0; j < threadsInbox.length; j++){
threadsInbox[j].markUnread();
}
};
It's easy to do and to setup a trigger.

I am currently running MCR3.1, and today I seem to have some problems with my gmail syncing.
When I receive an email to my gmail account, it shows up on my Desire however, when I delete (or read) it on my Desire, it still shows up in the inbox count on the top of the screen, and the changes don't seem to being reflected in my Gmail account.
The items are still shown as unread, even though I have deleted the item on my Desire.
I have attached a screenshot to show the inbox count, even though all emails are read.
Any ideas?

It happen to me some hours ago, althoug not on Gmail but on my own server, through IMAP. I read the email, and it still said in the notification bar that I have unread email.
What I did is I killed the email app. Then the notification went away. Then I started the mail app again and no problem at all. Dont know why it happen.
No issues here with Gmail app and MCRr3
Hello all,
First I want to say thanks to all the developers and everyone who works so hard to make great stuff!
My question is regarding GMail: I use SkyRaider 3.0 RC2 Vanilla, Launcher Pro Plus, King's #3, OC to 1.13, s-off. I decided to enable the Priority Inbox Beta in my GMail account. I receive quite a bit of emails each day, so it did it's thing by filtering out the good and bad. When I receive a couple emails from people who are people I regularly get emails from, they appear in my Priority Inbox.
My phone's GMail icon will display 2 for 2 unread messages, but when I click on it only one unread shows up. I delete it, so now the unread out is at 1, but nothing is there. I cannot get it to clear unless I go to a computer to log in and get rid of it. I confirmed that both emails are in the same inbox.
Is that normal? I was able to get it corrected by disabling the Priority Inbox, and then clearing the GMail data/cache. Back to normal. Batt pulls, cycling power, nothing would clear the unread count. I understand that this feature is in its Beta phase, and what I am seeing is normal? Any comments?
The same thing has been happening the past few days for me. However I haven't enabled the Priority Inbox feature, and I'm on the 8/1 2.2 leak. I don't think its due to Priority Inbox, but rather a bug with the Gmail app. Just my two cents.
You have to go online in your browser and click on the unread email. I don't know why it's like that but that is how I have been dealing with the issue. If you open your phone's browser and log into gmail you will see the email it is reading and open it or delete it and it will zero out. Prior to rooting I had this issue as well, but could go to the "all mail" label and find what it was seeing, now even when I open it on my phone, it still shows unread sometimes.
I'd like to chime in and say I too noticed this problem today. It showed I had 5 unread messages. When I look in the inbox on my phone they were all read. However going to gmail on my computer showed the unread messages. Its as if the 'read' flag isn't being updated.
Been two days now that the stock Gmail app has stopped marking read emails as read. They still look like they've been read and the subject text loses its boldness indicating it has been but the new message counter indicated that it hasn't. Logging in to Gmail from a PC also shows they've not been marked read. Forcefully marking them read doesn't do the trick either.
In the app I can use GMail style searches (which are awesome and I love by the way) to find unread emails and they show up, in bold, and unread. I'm talking about doing a search like "is:unread" by the way.
I want to reinstall Gmail.apk but not sure wher to get it... link?
UPDATE: Duh, its in the market.
Hello,
would you kindly tell me how I can do a "Select All" email on my DZ?
I have downloaded 200+ emails from my server, they all appear as unread emails. I can select one at a time to mark as read, however, it is too labour intensive to tick-select all of them one by one.
Is there an application I can install for this?
Thanks for your help.
For gmail I know the only real way to do it is to do the Check > Menu > Mark Read.
But its weird, have you checked your email on your PC? I was having an issue when I would sync my phone to my email client and it would say that there were unread messages, and then when searching on the PC I found them. Once they were found, I marked them as read, the phone would resync and then the emails were gone.

I am afraid re-syncing does not change the unread emails to read status on phone.
I hope this can be found out.
I have found a temporary measure in that it is not part of the messaging application from HTC or Android.
Here is the source: http://androidforums.com/droid-support-troubleshooting/14432-how-mark-all-select-all-email-read.html
I hope others, who like me needed a solution will find this helpful.
I'm not sure if this is a HTC Wildifre S or an Android Gingerbread related issue and looking through the web I did'n find any solution (to be fair I didn't find other people having the same issue), but this is my problem:
I configured my HTC built-in email app in order to check my email account. I set the incoming mail protocol as POP3. Now, every time my email account gets checked on my phone, nearly all (but strangely NOT ALL) the downloaded emails are authomatically marked as read on the server, so if I look afterwards at my emails on the webmail or on my pc (Thunderbird set wit IMAP protocol) they look to be read, even though I never opened them! Only on my phone unread emails are correctly marked as unread, as the marking seems to happen after the downloading process and thus doesn't affect the already downloaded emails.
This is of course a problem, as I risk to miss unread emails that don't appear to be unread on my pc even though they actually ARE unread.
Did anybody experience the same issue?
Any suggestion?
Thank you
I just discovered your question with no answers last night when scrolling through on my phone before falling asleep so:
This primarily has to do with the difference between web email and client email. Keep in mind that, as always, terms can mean different things depending on the content in which they are used. So web mail, typically uses IMAP as it's protocol and you can read mail on the email server from a variety of devices. When a device (computer, tablet, phone) reads it, the mail is marked as read on the server and when any other device checks for mail it will find it as read. An email client typically uses POP (although some can use IMAP also) and will download mail to the client and delete it from the server; however, often the option to leave it on the server can be selected, but it might still be marked as read because it is also downloaded.
A good example would be the aol desktop program that one would install on their computer, going back to dial-up. You could set it to dial in at intervals and download new mail to the desktop, then disconnect from the aol server. If you read that same mail downloaded to another computer that also had the aol desktop program installed, the first computer would still show it unread and the second would show you read it.
It's kind of the same with current, always connected devices, and to add a layer of confusion (or mystery?) consider how you have the program, on a particular device you're using, set to check mail. If it checks and says you have mail, but you don't check it on that first device but read it on a second device it will still show unread on the first device until it checks the server, for example every hour or whatever time interval you have set. If you have it set to check every hour AND on opening then you might see it flash unread and then show read on that first device (having read it on the second device). Throw in something like your phone's email program checking mutliple sources, aol, gmail, etc. against the above scenarios and it can be hard to keep it all straight...oh yeah, throw in Thunderbird on the same device and...good luck
Thank you MiCeltic. It's probably as you say. Still, I already used to check my emails with different web clients on different devices, some set with POP and some with IMAP protocol, and it never happened to me that a POP-using web client marks all emails as "read" on the server simply by checking them. But the default email client on my android phone probably brehaves like this, as you say. My solution was, in the end, to set all my email clients with IMAP protocol: at least every email is now marked as read (on all devices) only if I actually READ it.
Bye
Mic
