Hello Travesty2001,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


So the Mail icon on your home screen is showing new mail, but there is no new mail when you go to the app and the number doesn't clear? Notifications on apps will occasionally fail to clear when you go to the app. I would first suggest quitting and restarting the app. See the following article:


Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support


If that doesn't work, then quit the app again and reset the iPhone:


Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


This should get it cleared.


Regards,
Jeff D.
