after ios 14.2 email app still opens to old email

Ever since ios13, my email app opens the last viewed email even if I close it and go back to my inbox. The app never just opens my inbox and still is a problem after 14.2 update.

iPhone 11 Pro

Email app keeps opening to last read email Anyone else having issues with the email app and iOS 13? I use the email app (with gmail as the only account) and at least every other time I open the app (after having previously closed it), it opens to the last read email instead of the inbox. It’s super annoying. I’ve reached out to Apple about it but they don’t know what’s going on or how to fix it. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m only marking the emails as read instead of opening them and reading them. Or deleting the email, going to trash, and moving the email back to the inbox to trick the app into not opening that email. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. It’s an iPhone 8. Thanks!

If I delete the last viewed email, the next time I open the app it will show my inbox. If I don't delete the email, the app keeps opening to that last viewed one instead of my inbox.
