VIP Mail Folder missing on iPhone after iOS 17 Update

iOS 17 official non-beta release, if I add a new contact as VIP then ALL my inbox mail shows up in the VIP folder, if I remove a contact from VIP, then my entire VIP folder goes empty. There are not any filters like “unread” on when everything disappears. It’s completely repeatable, add one VIP, all mail is VIP, remove one VIP, all VIP mail is gone, etc.

I can confirm this works. The update to iOS 17.1 alone does not fix the problem. Steps to fix


  1. Updated to iOS to 17.1
  2. Remove all mailboxes
  3. Re-add all mailboxes
  4. VIP shows correctly (I did not remove any VIP ahead of time)
