Description

Title says it all. Marking as read does nothing. When I go on reddit.com, they still show up as new messages.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Login with a reddit account
  • Receive some message(s) in your inbox
  • Mark them all as read
  • Log onto reddit.com

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the inbox behavior with a Reddit account using the steps in the issue, then trace the Android inbox flow that handles marking messages as read. Done means messages marked read in the app are no longer shown as new on reddit.com.
