Know why read shows everywhere
Understand why a message you opened on the phone is no longer bold on the computer.
Opening a message marks it read in the mailbox itself, not on the device you used. Every other screen shows that within seconds.
Bold means unread. When the bold goes, it goes everywhere.
Key points
- Read and unread belong to the message, not to one device
- Marking something unread again brings the bold back on every screen
What to remember
- Read and unread belong to the message.
- Marking it unread brings the bold back everywhere too.
Try this
Open a message on one device, then look at the same inbox on another.
