German blogger Martin Geu\u00df also briefly touched this topic with an article. There I saw several comment like this show below from German readers:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Since days I get my recently deleted mails as \"unread\" in my inbox, so that I have to delete all old mails after every new mail that comes in.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Other users have confirmed exactly this problem in the comments. User Soernesto writes that the problem exists since a few days, especially with a connected external account. At the same time blog-reader Martin B. asked me yesterday evening by mail about this issue:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>you could blog the topic \/ problem. I have already commented the portal's post accordingly and I bet there are tens of affected users in DACH, too. I have already tried in vain to google the problem, &#8211; so far without result.
