After upgrading to ios7 (BIG mistake, it is horrible, icons look like a child has designed them and the colour scheme is terrible) one of my email accounts is showing 662 unread emails but there are non there.
I have tried switching the account of, rebooting then back on again as I read on the forum but it didn't work.
Any ideas?
iPhone 4, iOS 7
Found the solution and it was really simple.
When you do actually have a new mail in the mailbox go to edit>select all> mark as unread
Then go back and edit again, this time select all>mark as read
And the notification of 662 unread mails dissapeared:)
YES Charfar, your solution really works and it is so simple. I have inform my office mates who is having this problem about your solution.
Thanks a million!!!!
not working for me! I keep doing: press mail icon / touch edit / touch 'mark all' / touch 'mark as unread'... then edit / mark as read.
not only do they not go away... I'm GAINING hundreds more! any ideas?
I made an appt at the genuis bar for tomorrow. this is driving me crazy.
thank you Charfar, this worked perfectly!!! it was driving me nuts
Marking all emails "Unread" and then "Read" works, but I have to do that every few days since new ghost emails keep appearing. In other words, the problem is elsewhere and not resolved.
I only see this issue with Yahoo mail.
Thank you, Charfar! Your solution just worked for me too, for 349 ghost "unread" emails.
Thank you, worked great
Thanks! Worked like a charm.
Perfect.. The key is to have at least one msg in inbox.. Weird, but works..
Thanks!!!!!
