Iphone - Multiple email accounts - all marking an email as read when I open it in one email

I have 3 different Gmail Accounts on my Iphone 12 Mini, running 15.1

If someone sends one email to all three accounts.

Account A

Account B

Account C

I may want to read it in Account A but leave it as unread in Account B and C

For some reason when I open the email in one of the accounts it is automatically marking it as read in all three of them. All of this is happening on the phone, even with the computer closed and no emails going to computer.


On my old SE phone this DID NOT happen. If I read it in one email it would show as unread in the others.


On my computer if I open an email from my phone or computer it marks as read on the other device. This still works properly.

I only have a single Gmail account and I use the app for that mail. I have read in the past however, that this has happened before with Gmail accounts. I'm not aware of a fix for this, but I would check with Google to see if this is something about their mail if something is sent to multiple gmail addresses that belong to the same person.


Maybe someone else has seen this before or has a thought. I would see if someone else responds too.
