Apple Watch Email Notification: Dismiss will not "mark as read"

[larrytang]

Hi there,

It looks like Dismiss in the notification won't mark emails as read, while in iMessage it will. Now "Mark as unread" and "Dismiss" has exactly the same function. Is this a bug?

I found some threads complaining this bugs since 2015:

Yeah. Maybe they'll fix it some year. Maybe they'll sync notifications dismissal across devices while they're at it. All of Apple's apps absolutely suck. I use none of them except iMessage because I'm forced to, and the telephone app when I make phone calls.

Try Spark Email or Edison Email. They're both vastly superior.
