Mac Mail not Syncing IMAP mails from iPhone to Laptop

Hi there,

as of this morning for some reason my IMAP email that I read on my laptop usually says read on my iphone mail. But today it seems the read and un read messages aren't syncing with each other. Any quick fix? I tried restarting the iPhone and closing the iphone mail app.. Nothing... Thoughts?


Thank you!

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
