How to clear unread email on IOS 7?

I'm showing 2000 unread emails on my work email hosted by GoDaddy. I went into that email acct through my desktop browser and marked all the emails as 'read' but my iPhone 4S with newly updated IOS7 is still showing 2000 unread emails.


Note:

I had same notification with my Gmail acct and when I marked all those emails as 'read' on Gmail, that cleared up on my iPhone, too. Just wondering why it won't work with my work email through GoDaddy.


thx.

iPhone 4S, iOS 7

I have this problem also but found the quickest way to resolve it was to delete my email account the reinstall it using the IMAP settings. ther eare instructions for setting up your email at godaddy that are easy to follow. With these instructions, your email addres and password its really very easy and took me less than two minutes (although I already knew how to add my godaddy account so did not need to refer to the tutorial. If thats your starting place then all you need is this http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/4714/setting-up-your-email-address-with- imap

I also set my email to use SSL and found easy instructions on the godaddy site for that and as you can see in the link above that the SSL ports are different for POP and IMAP.


Hope this helps resolve this quickly, good luck
