GMail not marked read on computer after reading on iphone Ever since downloading the new IOS 16 on my iphone 14 pro I have been having email problems. I use the apple mail app to sync and access all my email accounts (multiple gmail). I can access my gmail account emails on the apple mail but after reading them I noticed that when I log into my one of my gmail accounts on my computer the emails that I previously read on my iphone with new IOS 16 are not marked as read but rather as unread. There is a synching issue between gmail and apple after this new IOS 16 release that is not sending the notification to the gmail servers that the emails have been read on iphone. Anyone have a solution for this?

Sent mails showing in iCloud Mail Inbox, but only on Mac Mail I have iCloud mail with a custom domain. I read/send mail on Mac, iPhone and iPad, and once/while on icloud.com - and everything usually syncs fine. But a couple of times a month, Mac Mail decides to show COPIES of my most recent 2-3 Sent emails (but no more) in my Mac Mail INBOX. Often the emails were sent a few days/week ago - but then all of a sudden a few just show up in Mac Mail Inbox. This am (12/4), an email sent on 11/29 just showed up in Inbox. It wasn't there yesterday. No I did not BCC, and it is only the last 1-3 Sent emails, not the entire Sent folder. I've checked Mail Preferences and View/folder settings, and nothing I've changed fixes it. FYI, they also are not showing on iPhone/iPad/iCloud Inbox, only Mac Mail Inbox, so iCloud seems to be synching fine. So that tells me it's a Mail display bug? 2020 M1 Air, Ventura 13.0.1, Mail 16.0

The content of my emails disappears after minutes, then reappears minutes later. I think that my emails have begun to be stored externally and not locally. How do I turn off this problem? The email notice is still visible but the message and attachments go away for minutes at a time. In all mailboxes [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Greetings backupfailed,

What we’re understanding you to say is that when using the Mail app on your Mac to send an email, that email message does not show in the Sent folder on your iPhone.

Here are some troubleshooting and isolating steps to take and consider -

1. If you send the email via the Mail app on your iPhone does it appear in the Sent folder on both devices?

2. We’d also like to have you go to your email service provider’s webmail and check to see if the messages sent from your Mac appear in the Sent folder there. This way we’ll know whether sent items are stopping on your Mac.

3. Additionally, are you having issues with people not receiving emails that you have initiated on your Mac?

Thanks.
