Why does Mail app always open at the same email on iPad?

Specs:

- iPad 2

- iOS 8.2


Each time I open my Mail app on my iPad it shows me an email message from a year ago. This makes me scroll for minutes before I can see the latest message. Why is it always stuck at this email message?


One way I can avoid the problem (but not get rid of it) is to flag a recent message in my Mail on my Macbook Pro and when it syncs (IMAP) the flag is synced as well. So then I can tap on that last flagged message and there I go, I'm closer at the top of my list.


Is anyone experiencing this as well?

And does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

I Don't think sits, just the three or four users on here that have that issue, yet apple support never gave cause or root of issue. Just gave a "canned or scripted" copy and paste approach to solving issue: restore device, that takes hours and inevitably you lose soemthing every time. That's a great workaround, but it will happen again with another message, it's obviously a bug because it doesn't happen on iphone. is Apple doing something to resolve this issue? It's been months with this and it's frustrating.
