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?

My god yes. It's hateful. I've taken to deleting messages as soon as I read them just to force the issue.

I found the best he solution to that and all the other New Outlook issues is to revert back to the old version.

Clearly you've never used the email client that "the New Outlook" is replacing. The one that came bundled with Windows 10. The one written by the intern.

I tried the new Outlook for about 30 minutes before I gave up because of the bugs. I was using it in a corporate setting with an Exchange server backend. It still had issues with refresh, loading, displaying, etc. I provided MS my feedback that it was crap software and I would not use it unless forced to.

I am amazed at anyone still using MS or Google for email.
That said I understand the reluctance to change email address.
As a novice in the world of programming and understanding OS's
perhaps I do not grasp the issue.
Any way I made the switch to Proton Mail FREE
and for 4 years now only one spam email
with tons of ways to protect your address

I'm leaning in that direction.
My complaint had to do with bugs in this specific client app, for email specifically coming from Gmail. Probably because (I'm guessing) Gmail is using IMAP, whereas others are probably using POP3/SMTP or MS's own Exchange protocol. It's a protocol-specific implementation bug in Outlook.
Nothing to do with the need to change an email address.
Nothing to do with the amount of spam I get.

Just got back from a vacation in Poland.
Second time I've been there, great country!
My girlfriend is from Poland (this was my first time with her) so I guess I'll be going more often.
We were staying in Krakow, which is a beautiful city, or at least the city center is.
Been to Auschwitz and it's even worse than what you see on TV 
Salt mine Wieliczka was very impressive as well (but not in a maximum killing capacity kind of way).
We also went to Energylandia, great if you like roller coasters, which I do!
From my previous visit I can also recommend Malbork, largest castle in the world.
The "in-laws" are nice too, even though I can't really talk to them.
Can see myself going back again

Been there. Very very nice, indeed.

Reality is often way way harsher that what normal people would be able to handle.
I love watching documentaries and I couldn't make myself watch the one on an infamous crime that happened in Delhi on 16th of Dec 2012.

Isn't it interesting how, knowing what happened there, merely being at that same location can convey so much more than actual images of the actual atrocities that took place.
Sadly I know people who know nothing about and have no interest in history, even as recent as this is, and wouldn't "appreciate" being there (and I know that's not the right word I should be using there, but I'm coming up blank right now). As they say, people who don't know their history are condemned to repeat it. You have to worry about these people.

People that willingly deny it are even worse than people that do not know about it.

You know, that didn't even cross my mind when I wrote my response, and that is an even scarier reality. Points for bringing it up.
