Just a follow-up:

Even though shutting down/restarting the app yesterday did leave my read messages marked as such, this morning I came back to the app and those same Gmail messages have come back again as unread.

On can only conclude it does make some effort to persist the read state, but that gets clobbered when re-downloading the mailbox. I suspect it never tells the server that messages have changed state, and the client just goes with whatever the server says.

How long has email existed for? Shouldn't this be a solved problem by now?

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
