Iphone mail unread

The pesky "Unread" badge on the iPhone Mail app!

Here are a few possible reasons why you might be seeing an "Unread" badge on your iPhone Mail app:

  1. New emails have arrived: If you have new emails in your inbox, the Mail app will display an "Unread" badge to indicate that there are new messages waiting for you to read.
  2. You have unread emails in a specific folder: If you have unread emails in a specific folder, such as the "Junk" or "Spam" folder, the Mail app will still display an "Unread" badge.
  3. You have unread emails in a specific account: If you have multiple email accounts set up on your iPhone, and you have unread emails in one of those accounts, the Mail app will display an "Unread" badge.
  4. You have unread emails in a specific thread: If you have an email thread with multiple messages, and you haven't read all the messages in the thread, the Mail app will display an "Unread" badge.

To clear the "Unread" badge on your iPhone Mail app, you can try the following:

  1. Read all your new emails: Open the Mail app and read all your new emails to clear the "Unread" badge.
  2. Mark all emails as read: Go to the "Edit" menu and select "Mark All as Read" to mark all emails in your inbox as read.
  3. Clear the "Unread" badge for a specific folder: Go to the folder that's causing the "Unread" badge to appear, and swipe left on each email to mark it as read.
  4. Clear the "Unread" badge for a specific account: Go to the account settings and select "Mark All as Read" to mark all emails in that account as read.
  5. Restart your iPhone: Sometimes, simply restarting your iPhone can clear the "Unread" badge.

If none of these solutions work, you can try resetting the Mail app's settings or seeking assistance from your email provider or Apple Support.
