I have recently switched over from using Gmail as my personal email provider to iCloud. I figured that I already use iCloud for everything else so I may as well use it for emails too.
The trouble is the iOS Mail App is not behaving in the way that I think it should do (or at least the way I was used to with Gmail). When I get a Mail notification on my iPhone and iPad, I will read/delete/archive it on one device but the notification or app badge doesn’t go away on the other device until I’ve actually opened the Mail App and let it sync.
With Gmail if I deleted an email as soon as I received it on my iPad for example, the notification would disappear from my iPhone before the display had had time to turn back off.
I assume that the Mail App with iCloud is supposed to behave in the same fashion as Gmail, and it isn‘t just lagging behind on features?
I have tried restarting both devices and signing out and back in to iCloud and neither of those things have fixed it. I may end up moving to Outlook or another app if this persists, which is a shame because I really like the stock App.
