Sent emails showing up days later

I was noticing that certain emails were coming back into my inbox after being sent. I realized I had clicked on an option called suggest follow up. I have now removed that option but I am still getting some emails coming back after I sent them, days later. How to fix?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Hi dssjss,


If you haven't done so yet, restart your iPhone. Although simple, this step can help correct some unexpected issues. iOS version 16.1 was recently released, so it's a good idea to make sure your iPhone is running the latest iOS version since this can help with overall performance: Apple security updates .


For more help, reply with the answers to these questions:

If you send a message and don’t receive a response for several days, the email automatically moves back to the top of your inbox to help you remember to follow up.
  • Do you notice that emails from a specific recipient are returning to your inbox?


Best regards.

Thank you for your response. Yes, the emails show back up top in my inbox. No, they are not limited to a specific recipient. Previously, when this happened, I realized I had the follow up button clicked on but then turned it off. I am still though getting my sent email back up top from several recipients, not just one. Is there a way to stop this?
