Push MobileMe Email not updating?

Hello guys,
I have my phone set to push for my MobileMe account, however i noticed that the fetch is working properly, but it doesn't sync if the email was already read somewhere else. For example, I received an email today but I didn't check it on my phone because I was on my way to work anyways and I can just check with the computer. Couple hours later after I checked the email I realize the it is still in my inbox on my phone as unread, I have to manually go into mail to have it recognize that I've already read the email.
Is this normal? If it's constantly communicating with MobileMe shouldn't it also recognize that the email was read?
Thanks in advance!

Your suppositions are meaningless.

My other IMAP accounts work fine too.

Stop blathering. If you are pushing and it doesn't sync, then one of the main features of IMAP is lost.

Please, go waste someone else's time.

Your suppositions are meaningless.

And your suppositions aren't?

Once again, where is your link that defines/states what you believe occurs or that should occur in regards to Push access with an IMAP account - read status pushed, and messages sent with another email client or via webmail access for the account pushed from the account's Sent mailbox at the server?

Where's yours, genius, that IMAP doesn't work as designed when Pushed?

I provided a link that describes/defines Push access for an email account.

What do you believe is as designed for a Push-IMAP account?

And whatever that is since it is different from what I've provided, please include a link that defines or provides "as designed" for a Push-IMAP account.

Your link only talks about Push itself.

Nothing more.

IMAP accounts are supposed to synchronize and update themselves across clients.

I am done discussing this.

And to tell you the truth, mine just updated it itself on its own, as the phone is plugged into power, perhaps as others report. I am not sure about the power thing, though. OTOH, the phone did update itself on its own per my 15 min interval I guess, as I was watching if it would, which basically proves what I an saying.

Bye.

i fully understand how the concept should work for our emails. all i know is that my mobileme account synced perfectly before the 2.1 upgrade. my godaddy and enterprise both still work fine, but my mobileme account now shows unread emails on it's badge until i read them. they are there forever until i physically enter my email account. any screen in there. i don't even need to read them, just let it update itself. it never updates itself anymore. it never did that before. i'm assuming there is no fix until apple addresses this issue and releases 2.2 to us.
