Blank Email Cannot be Deleted

Is anyone else having an issue where there is a blank email on the iPhone, but when you go to delete it it stays there? I have tried to "archive" it, but it just shuts down the mail app. I've done a reset on my phone, but it is still there. Showed up shortly after doing the upgrade ti iOS 13. It shows up as a blank space between the other email messages that I have.

Hey I’ve found a fix for this

it used to occur years ago, and being sad I remember how to fix it.

forget about the settings

go to the home screen and hold down the Mail App icon until you get either the squiggle or options on later phones.

delete the app. Confirm.

go to App Store and redownload

whwn you open the App it will want you to go to mail account setup again, however don’t bother it’s likely your account is just switched off in Mail settings.

Go to settings and switch on the account by enabling your mail button in the saved mail accounts.

go back to the Homescreen and open the app, this refreshes the sync.


Solved!
