Hey Dezron

YEAH, I just made this up because I have all the time in the world to post fake crap on this board SFB. This was a "senior tech" Apples words not mine that called me after dealing with chat help. And I understand software has bugs genius but stupid advice is stupid advice. Apple needs to acknowledge this bug AND explain they are working on it. They have YET to do that, SFB.

You misunderstand my phrasing of "I actually found this quite unbelievable that the "Senior Advisor" would tell you that Apple has not had any complaints about this."

My meaning of this is that I find it unbelievable that another Senior Advisor would tell you that in the first place because it isn't true. My disbelief is in the advisor's information, not in your credibility for stating it.

Also, these bugs have been acknowledged by Apple. They are definitely being worked on. If you would like some examples of this, I would like you to refer to iOS 9.0.1.

I'd love to share with you some more hands-on proof, but that stuff is all internal and will remain such until Apple is prepared to release this information to the public. Thank you for your patience and support.

Dear Dez.Ron,

Thank you for the response.

With regard to the article I think a simple "Only available in US" would've sufficed but thanks all the same. 🙂

Thanks for sharing the latest link to iOS 9.0.1 I upgraded.

Unfortunately it didn't do anything to resolve emojis (not so much of an issue) or unread email issue, its still ongoing. Very frustrating.

I officially hate upgrades!!!

I'm having the same problems and iOS 9.01 hasn't addressed this bug.

Come on Apple, fix this mess you've created and quickly.

Someone at work had the same issue. IT was able to fix it.

In this case, it was an Exchange account showing unread emails that didn't exist. IT went into the Exchange server's list of trusted devices. They removed the iPhone 6 Plus that was showing the invisible unread emails and removed the Exchange account from the phone. Then they added the Exchange account to the device again as a trusted device. That cleared up the issue. I hope that helps someone.

In Italy too.....

same quantity!

I've figured out a workaround (for me anyway). I've lost hours over this over the past week and I'm not impressed by Apple. This update is glitchy in many ways, not least this. My accounts were and still are pop accounts.

So, I went into my server account - of the main hotmail account rather than the account on my phone (just an example, but it would apply to any other account). Then I made a new folder under the Inbox folder and called it Moved emails from Inbox (sorry, not very creative, I know). Then I selected ALL the emails in the entire account - many thousands of them - and moved them all to this sub folder. And hey presto, so far so good - the emails have stopped continually loading at 250 at a time and the unread status stays the same and only changes as new emails come in. I still have all the emails I want on my phone as they've already downloaded and I can do with these as I please - either keep or delete.

Well I think that's solved it. Only time will tell. If I notice a downside to doing this I'll post on here.

Like so many others I am so frustrated with the changes they make with these updates!! WHY CAN WE NOT LIMIT THE NUMBER OF EMAILS SHOWING????? APPLE........WHY CHANGE SOMETHING THAT ISN'T BROKEN????? It makes zero sense! All day I have been receiving duplicate emails, over and over and over! I delete and then they're back an hour later, causing me to miss the important emails I actually need to see!!!! Thank you!

THat was 9 days ago, but Apple has still not issued a fix. I have 3065 supposedly unread mail (sometimes millions). It's ver frustrating.

Yesterday i decided to take the plunge and updated to IOS 9.0.1 and surprise surprise I had 4689 unread messages in the mail app. After perusing the various forums today I solved it. I went in deleted both e-mail accounts I had i.e. Gmail and Outlook, I also accidentally deleted my iCloud account.

Anyway after a short break I went in added the two accounts back and all is good. Hope this helps.

There is not a single fix that has worked for me and I've tried every suggestion out there for a POP account.

FIX THIS CRAP APPLE! GOOD GRIEF WHAT A SCREW UP!!!

15,000+ emails showing on the badge icon.

I restored IO9 in my Iphone as a new device (not from backup)

All my accounts were erased, after this I had to re-create the accounts

It seems it works on....

I am not going to setup my phone as new just to take care of a terrible flaw in ios9. That is a ridiculous and enormous time wasting solution.

I'm having the same issue as above. Thousands of emails in the inbox showing as unread which screws up the badge and, thus, I don't know if I do, in fact, have unread emails. Pretty inconvenient. Does Apple support have an ETA on when this bug will be fixed? Better yet, is there a fix now I'm not aware of?

Any success of late? Tried everything e.g. Deleted accounts reinstated them, upgraded to 9.0.1 and 9.0.2 but STILL THE SAME PROBLEM!!!

COME ON APPLE FIX THIS MESS!

-- for some reason, Apple seems to have forgotten about this bothersome issue --- (2) iOS9 updates have been issued to date with no mention of this 'unread' email problem in either of the update specs... Maybe there's a third party Apple could engage to deal with the problems/issues they don't care to...?
