Mail badge app icon issue

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and the mail badge app icon is rapidly changing the number of the unread messages for each of my email accounts. What can I do to fix this?


Thanks!

Verify "Unread eMails" Count:

Log in to the eMail provider's site, and see if see the same number of "unread" eMails per account, as shown on the app. If it is different then it is the app giving you the issue. So, sign out of these eMail accounts on the app (if applicable), and then remove the app. Next, reinstall the app.
