Hi there willywonty,


You mentioned some of your Mail messages are still showing unread, even after opening or viewing them. Let's confirm a few details to help us narrow down what might be going on.


  1. Do you have multiple Apple devices you check this mail account on?
  2. If so, does the other Apple device mark the message read as expected?
  3. Which email provider is the account with?
  4. Does there seem to be a pattern with which emails are impacted?


These answer will help us provide the best guidance to resolve this. We look forward to hearing back from you.


Best regards.
