Thanks Giangi and John for your replies. I was not notified of them, that’s why I reply only now.
I don’t feel very much like switching to IMAP because I fear to lose the little amount of control I still have on my email. Your suggested solutions have always been in effect: 1. I always leave messages on server in the K9 and also in the stock Android mail app (still used on another phone). 2. "Mark as read when opened" is unchecked in K9. 3. Leaving messages on server in the computer’s email clients settings does not help. However it seems that I get different behaviours when using different clients on computer. 4. Gmail is set not to mark messages as read when downloaded by an email client. Yet if I open messages on K9 or stock app, I won’t be able to download them later. The only way to retrieve them locally is to go to Gmail on the web and forward them to myself. I am so tired of all this showoff outside an amateurship inside software programs... (commercial ones included).
