Jan 23, 2013 9:23 AM in response to Mika Inkinenby beaudta,Go to Settings / Mail
Choose the mail account with the issue
Turn mail Off and let it unload for a minute
Turn mail back On and those unreads should be gone

Jan 23, 2013 1:22 PM in response to beaudtaby ELN1970,This seems to be a brand-aid for one of my users - not a fix. I have a user who continues to have this issue. The band-aid works each time, but it's getting old.

This was driving me nuts.
Thanks so much for posting it.
For the record, this issue popped up on me immediately following an update to IOS 6.1.

Feb 9, 2013 5:09 PM in response to Mika Inkinenby Kmperham,OMG! THANK YOU componentgeek! THIS SOLVED MY PROBLEM!!!!! The unread mail badge on my iPhone 5 has been driving me insane. I've killed my exchange email account again and again, a colossal waste of time, but it would clear the badge. Turning the mail off, then back on is SO MUCH SIMPLER! Genius. Thanks! Now, Apple---FIX THE PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING!

such a simple solution, but it WORKED on my iPhone 4s. The email badge is now reset to zero! Thank you for taking the time to post your solution.

Mar 6, 2013 10:31 AM in response to componentgeekby Rgrossjr,That did it for me! At first I thought it didn't because the badge did not vanish right away, but after it finished resyncing all the mail a few moments later it fixed it. THANKS!

Mar 31, 2013 7:48 AM in response to beaudtaby Laneymv,Everyone,
This is only a temporary fix. I've got a bug report filed with Apple. If more people would report the issue then we probably could get a permanent fix. They had the same problem in iOS 5 and they sent me a special update.
Report issued here http://radar.apple.com

Apr 4, 2013 10:22 AM in response to Mika Inkinenby bunny2BEAR,I went into settings on both my iPhone 5 and iPad and simply turned the Mail option off on the account that was showing the phantom number -- for me it was an exchange account -- (waited for a sec while it turned off the mail sync), then, before turning it back on, I went to that specific inbox and the phantom number disappeared. Then I went back into my settings and turned it back on. After I did this (didn't just turn it off and on, but went to the inbox itself) it worked and the phantom number is gone.
Not sure why, but I feel I can breathe freely again! It's crazy how this little stuff can drive us mad!!! Best of luck out there.

Apr 4, 2013 4:30 PM in response to Mika Inkinenby Trchsngr,Double tap on your home button to bring up any open apps. Touch the minus sign on the mail app to close it, then return to your home screen. Next go to settings on your iphone and touch Mail. Touch the account that's having the issue to open its email settings. Swipe Mail to "off" and let the phone cycle through the off process. Once its complete, swipe back to "On". Your email should be set back to 0.

Apr 4, 2013 4:32 PM in response to bunny2BEARby Trchsngr,This works, but you have to close the mail app in order for it to clear, or the cache will retain the unread email amount. So before you turn the mail on and off, double click home to pull up any open apps that are in the background. Touch the minus sign to close the mail app, then go back to home and proceed with the steps mentioned.
