error in mail on flagged items

Ok I know this is no biggie but it drives me nuts. My flagged mail has a count of 81 when in fact there is nothing in the folder. No flagged emails. Any ideas?

I had this issue in iOS mail where it showed a count of 6 flagged emails but when I opened the folder there were none. On my MacBook, the flagged folder showed 0, which is correct. To fix the issue in iOS, I did the following:


  1. Go to the Mailboxes screen in mail and click on Edit (top right)
  2. Remove the check box for the Flagged folder then click Done.
  3. Click on Edit again and reselect the Flagged folder then click Done.
  4. The Flagged folder now showed a correct count of 0.


Hopefully this will help someone who has the same issue.
