This is my first mac, so I'm still figuring everything out

I used my gmail account as my primary mail account on the computer. The problem is that the program only downloads mail when I open the program. Also, when I access my gmail account over the internet, and I read an email for example, it will show up on my iphone as being read. But when I use the mail program, it doesn't change on my iphone or when I access it over the internet.

Is gmail just not a great match for the mail program that comes with mac. By the way, I currently have it set to check for mail every 1 minute.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
