Funny thing is...
I always wanted Dark mode, too.
No I have Dark mode, and used it for a while, but changed back to normal Light mode... lol
I have an pixel 3 as well and try to use it on as many apps as support it. I love it So once iOS and android roll out dark mode system wide I will be using it.

Problem is, I use my iPhone mainly during the day.
And the dark mode causes to much reflections when its light or bright outside.
 
I'm 100% certain he did not test it properly. Apple themselves explicitly state that iCloud does not push any changes (except for the initial arrival of new mail) to iOS whatsoever. Would you really believe his "claim" that contradicts Apple's? That's like Apple saying that iPhone can't fold your laundry, and one person claiming it can.

I've spoken to numerous people on here as well as on Apple Discussions who claim that it "works for them", and it turns out that some of them simply lied and others did not test correctly.

Unless he can post a video shot on a separate camera of both his Mac and iPhone/iPad during the test, I'll consider his "claim" false/untrue.

Can you lay out how you performed your test?

It wasn't the most rigorous of tests but what I done was sent myself 2 new emails and read both of them on different devices. The one I read on my iPhone registered as 'read' on my Mac automatically and the one I read on my Mac registered as 'read' on my iPhone automatically. I've also done that same test that includes my iPad with the same results.

As far as I can tell it syncs all ways just fine.

Therein lies the problem. The issue isn't with syncing read status once you open mail.app - that happens, if sometimes not instantaneously. The issue we're describing is that it doesn't sync read status until you open mail.app, and thus notifications/badges don't disappear. Other mail accounts don't exhibit the same (broken) behaviour.

Let's say I have a mac, and iphone and an ipad. I get 2 emails at the same time, one from icloud and one via an exchange account. I read them both on my mac. You'd expect them to be marked read instantly on all devices. Both the iphone and the ipad will display a red (1) until mail.app is opened because icloud mail is wonky.

Ah, got it. Yes, all my devices act similarly. Could do with some polishing in that regard.
