Emails won't sync without archiving

[tpottebaum]

Hey everyone,

Whenever I receive and read an email though my phone's gmail application, it does not show up having been read in my online gmail inbox. But if I archive the message from my phone, it shows up having been archived from my online inbox. Is this normal? I'd like to be able to keep an email on my phone rather than having to archive it right away.

Thanks!

Another issue:
When I get an email notification, it doesn't disappear from the notification bar unless I archive/delete the message or read the email twice. Anyway to change that?
