This remains my biggest annoyance with EM Client. Clicking into another folder then back again to ‘Unread’ is not the answer…this is just a permanent workaround, is messy and time consuming and ultimately is just lazy software design. Can you not understand that I have to do this 20-30 times a day (often more frequently)?

So why not just implement an ‘Email Read’ or ‘Folder Refresh’ button to clear the ‘Unread’ folder of any read items? It’s so simple, yet for some reason EM Client refuse to do anything about this.
After many years of use EM Client remains my favourite email client, but this issue really drives me up the wall daily. I so wish they’d just get creative and do something about it, but I’m not holding my breath. After years of having to put up with this, and even though it’s be a simple fix, we seem to have hit an entrenched ‘no, we’re not doing that’. Absolutely pointless and baffling.
