Email problem after iOS 7 update

You might want to try my previous post. Two clicks. Worked for me. Good luck!

I have 2,000 "flagged" emails count showing under mailboxes, but there are no emails showing to the right. I would like to reset the count. Anyone know how I get the count to 0?

Changing my hotmail/outlook account into Exchange accounts worked well and took 2 minutes!

This worked for me as well. I had tried it just with the inboxes that supposedly had unread emails and that didn't work. Doing it for ALL INBOXES did the trick. This worked instantly on my iPhone but took two tries on my iPad - the first time it froze (but my iPad has been freezing since the download... and that's a whole nother problem!).

Thank you!

My OCD can be happy now.

I was also having a hard time felling like I had thousands of emails to read...

Glad to help!

Thank you Psmith0103!! It worked.

THANK YOU! IT WORKED!

While some of these tricks may temporarily work for many... temporarily...., the simple fact that some of us have 10's of thousands of unread emails and dozens of active email accounts should tell you that these tricks are just bandaids for what is an emerging business workflow conflict with our new iOS.

I don't want to mark emails I haven't read as "read"

I don't want to consolidate my POP accounts into a Microsoft Exchange account

I don't want to have to manage this problem on into the future... nor should you

I like the new look and feel of the Mail app and some of the new features, but I'm hoping to find a clear answer as to why the "mail days to sync" control was removed, and more importantly if it is gone forever?

Thanks aboothe22 this solved my problem too :-D

Thanks!

2 edits worked for me.

Unfortunately, the unread ones came back in less than 24 hours on my iPhone. My iPad is still clear for now.

Jeez I hope they fix this bug soon. And while they're at it, add a feature so we can change the order of the email inboxes (rather than just as originally inputted them). I also don't like having VIP on the bottom now.

You can edit them. From the "main" mail window (where you see all of your mailboxes), click on the edit button. That will bring up the 3 lines on the right to reorder the accounts to your heart's content.

I hadn't looked for this feature until your post, and discovered there are additional options in how to display different mail "groups" (e.g. - unread mail, sent mail, etc.).

Thank you so much Psmith0103 This worked perfectly - And sooooo simple!!

OCD acting up? - Not anymore! 🙂

I've just delted my hotmail and re-entered as an exchange account. Works great now..! Was driving me mad..!

Ok what about this problem.

Say I want to delete every email from say "apple"

I do a search for emails that come from apple. I have 745. I then want to select ALL and delete.

Try that. There is no way to select all, just individual ones

Please find me a work around for that
