Ios mail app shows unread emails when there are none

That's frustrating! The iOS Mail app can sometimes display incorrect information, including showing unread emails when there are none. Here are some possible reasons and solutions to help you resolve the issue:

  1. Check your email account settings: Ensure that your email account settings are correct and up-to-date. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and check that your account is set up correctly.
  2. Clear Mail app data: Try clearing the Mail app's data and cache. Go to Settings > [your name] > Storage & iCloud Usage > Manage Storage > Mail, and swipe left on the Mail app to reveal the "Delete" option. Confirm that you want to delete the app's data.
  3. Check for email account issues: If you're using a third-party email service, check their website or app to see if there are any known issues or maintenance scheduled. You can also try logging in to your email account on a web browser to see if the issue is specific to the iOS Mail app.
  4. Update the Mail app: Ensure that you're running the latest version of the Mail app. Go to the App Store, search for "Mail", and check for updates.
  5. Reset network settings: Sometimes, network settings can cause issues with the Mail app. Go to Settings > General > Reset, and select "Reset network settings". This will reset your network settings to their default values.
  6. Check for conflicts with other apps: If you're using other email-related apps, try closing or uninstalling them to see if they're interfering with the Mail app.
  7. Try a different email account: If you have multiple email accounts set up on your device, try switching to a different account to see if the issue persists.
  8. Contact your email provider: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, contact your email provider's support team to see if they're experiencing any issues on their end.

If none of these solutions work, you can try resetting your iPhone or iPad to its factory settings as a last resort. However, be aware that this will erase all your data, so make sure to back up your device before doing so.

I hope one of these solutions helps you resolve the issue and get rid of those pesky unread emails!
