      As of recently the built-in client does not mark any message as read after having read them. Using Vivaldi 6.0.2979.18 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit) on Debian 11.7. Any help is much appreciated.

        Hi, the Vivaldi mail client distinguishes between viewed and read mails. A viewed mail is not automatically read.
        In Settings > Mail is a setting to change this behave:

          Is Settings > Mail > Automatically Mark as Read (located in Mail Settings section) enabled?

            @mib2berlin @yojimbo274064400 No "Automatically Mark as Read" was not enabled, despite this its worked fine till a few days ago. I wonder what could have changed? Even my rss feeds had the same issue.

              @Tetsuosumo I wouldn't exclude the previous behaviour was a bug.
              If still doesn't work after enabling the setting, is also a bug.

                Still have to say, Vivaldi doesn't mark them as read.

                In Vivaldi itself it is marked as read, but if I look for example on my phone in Gmail, the mail isn't read.
                This happens on other providers too, and is at the moment the only thing I don't like from the mail client in Vivaldi. Anyone a solution for that?

                  @Syntafin I don't have a problem with Vivaldi and Gmail and marking emails as read (note: I always mark as read manually). Did you by any chance set up Gmail as a POP3 account? (POP3 doesn't sync between clients and the server)

                  Usually on Win11 running Vivaldi Snapshot builds. Opinionated about working efficiently with email. Folders are evil | Mail workflow: receive, read, reply, mark as read, done.

                    @WildEnte no I use IMAP, as I not have POP3 active anywhere.
