Running stock Android. After I read emails on my desktop, the notification bar on my phone still shows unread Gmails, I cleared the cache last night, only syncing Inbox and and I unchecked the notify once box. Any thought appreciated.
Hey, I just tested there on mine and it didn't do it. Once I read the email on my desktop after approx 1 min it cleared the notification on my Nexus. That's a strange one.
Are your settings the same? Are you running stock android?
No actually I am not! But I do recall when I fisrt had my Nexus and it was the same. I am obsessive about things like that so I remember checking it and it was the very same. It is a pity you can't change the rate at which gmail syncs.
Figured it out
I had an old email marked as unread. Once I marked that as read, the notification bar acts as expected - reading emails on my desktop clears the notification bar.
To confirm, I marked an old email as unread and read a new incoming email on my desktop. The notification bar still shows unread emails. Clearing the old unread email on the desktop clears the notification bar.

I've noticed that the number of e-mails shown in the sliding panels is not the number of unread e-mail in your inbox. Well, it is, until you open the mail client, then it resets to zero, regardless of whether you read any messages.
So my Outlook currently has 4 unread messages. I click on the Messages panel, click on Outlook and my inbox opens, and correctly I have 4 unread messages. I do not open any of them, so they are still unread.
Going back to the home screen, the sliding panel now says zero.
i.e. this is really showing the number of unread messages since you last opened the mailbox, not the total number of unread messages.
is this just my build? I'm running one of the Ricky/Kavana builds, number 4 I think.

Maybe it's just me...but it doesn't really bother me that I can't see the number of unread messages on my sliding panel. I choose to focus my anal tendencies (pardon the disgusting pun, lol) towards things like fonts and 3G! By the way, where's the 3 daggum G T-Mo?!
I actually like this feature - because I'll always have unread messages in my desktop outlook, without this feature it would always show something like "34". But since I also have a few POP email accounts setup in my phone, I could never tell if I have any new emails in them because they would be mixed in with the grand "unread total".
But, because you can clear the count for the "outlook" inbox by simply opening up that inbox, then any number I subsequently see for email count will indicate that I have waiting email in one of my POP accounts - very cool to me.
BTW, does anyone know where these "new unread since last inbox opened" counts are stored in the registry?
There NOT at locations like this:
HKCU\System\State\Messages\TotalEmail\Unread\Count
Because those are the "unread" count, not the "new since last access" count that the sliding panel notification uses.
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.
Mine is showing one unread, even though all are showing gray and read in the app. Is there any way to reset or clear that?
I can scroll down and load more older emails, but reading them again doesn't clear the unread notification bubble.
I usually use a desktop browser to connect to Gmail and find/clear the unread message that way. You could probably use Chrome on your GN4 and request the desktop site and do it that way.
I'll try that. Thanks for the tip!
I have been having this problem consistently since the most recent update. This is an unlocked, unbranded S9 purchase directly from Samsung.
I have multiple email accounts (one Outlook 365, one Outlook Exchange, and Gmail via IMAP) on the stock email app - I do not use the Gmail app. More often than not, the email symbol in the notification bar (not the badge) will not clear for one message (sometimes more than one, but usually just one) even if the email was read on the phone (as opposed to on my computer or another device). The badge clears, the "Unread Mail" shows no unread messages, but the only way to clear the Notification Bar is to pull down the shade and "clear".
It's annoying to have that visual indicator that there is unread mail when there is not. Anyone else with this issue? I've cleared the Email app cache, cleared the partition cache, but have not done a factory reset (massive pain with as many accounts as I have, etc.).
