Deleted emails still showing on iphone

The frustration of deleted emails still showing up on your iPhone! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue.

Here are some possible reasons why deleted emails might still be showing up on your iPhone:

  1. Email client cache: Your iPhone's email client (e.g., Mail) might be caching deleted emails, causing them to still appear in your inbox.
  2. Server-side issue: The email server might not have updated the deleted email status, or there might be a temporary glitch causing the email to still be visible.
  3. Syncing issue: Your iPhone might not be syncing with the email server correctly, leading to a delay in updating the deleted email status.

To resolve the issue, try the following steps:

Method 1: Force quit and restart Mail

  1. Double-press the Home button (or swipe up on an iPhone X or later) to open the app switcher.
  2. Find the Mail app and swipe up to force quit it.
  3. Open the Mail app again to see if the deleted emails have been removed.

Method 2: Clear Mail's cache

  1. Go to Settings > [your name] > Storage & iCloud Usage > Manage Storage.
  2. Scroll down and tap on "Mail" under the "Storage" section.
  3. Tap on "Show All Files" and find the "Mail" folder.
  4. Swipe left on the "Mail" folder and tap "Delete" to clear its cache.

Method 3: Check for server-side issues

  1. Try logging out of your email account on your iPhone and then logging back in.
  2. Check your email account's settings on the email provider's website to see if there are any issues on their end.

Method 4: Reset network settings

  1. Go to Settings > General > Reset.
  2. Tap on "Reset network settings" and confirm.
  3. This will reset your iPhone's network settings, which might resolve any syncing issues.

Method 5: Check for iOS updates

  1. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
  2. If an update is available, install it to ensure your iPhone is running the latest iOS version.

If none of these methods resolve the issue, you can try contacting your email provider's support team to see if there are any issues on their end.
