Need to get rid of ghost emails!

I have just setup my new iPhone 12. Email app showing 19 unread messages, however there isn’t any unread messages? I have tried disabling and turning phone off/on, I have tried marking all as ‘read’, I have tried the latest software update. I have basically tried every suggestion on the internet and they still won’t go away! Does anyone know how to fix this please?

iPhone 12, iOS 14
