TS3899 Unread emails!

My iPhone4S shows unread emails. All folders for the account are empty. I have deleted and re-installed the account. The unread emails are still there. I have deleted emails from my PC this makes no difference to email count on my phone. Anyone know how to resolve this problem?

Hi GT007,
If you are having issues with your email count on your iPhone and have already tried removing and reinstalling the account with no apparent resolution, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

  • TS3899 My mail account shows 1340 unread emails, yet the inbox is empty with no subfolders.

    My "Mail" app shows that I have 1340 unread emails in red.  When I go to the inbox, it says 1340 unread emails, yet there is none in the inbox.  I have checked my mail provider adn there is no emails there either. 

    First if you have multiple inboxes please make sure that you're looking at the all inboxes category. If this is correct then try removing the account and adding it back. If no joy
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • TS3899 Yahoo email account showing "phantom" unread messages

    I set up a "new to me" iphone 4 today and added a yahoo email account.  I cleaned the inbox, trash, and spam folders out before setting up account on phone.  Mail icon is showing 39 unread messages in that account and they are not showing in the inbox on the phone for me to clear out.

    Mail -> Edit in upper right hand corner -> Mark All as read in lower left hand corner. This will clear the unread email number for the mail app.

  • I have an iphone 3gs.  I have 7 separate email accounts on the phone.  Everytime I update, it reloads all of the emails as new unread emails.  Is there any way to either delete all or alternatively stop it from reloading all prior emails?

    I have an iphone 3gs.  I have 7 separate email accounts on the phone.  Everytime I update the phone, it reloads all emails received as new unread emails.  I can click each one, move them to trash and then delete all.  However, I am wondering whether there is any way to either (a) delete all from the inbox or (b) stop them from reloading?
    Thanks

    Hello Kizzyk,
    I would start with taking a look at the settings to make sure that you are able to send and receive messages. If everything looks good then the next step would be to remove the accounts and add them back in. Take a look at the article below for more information and details on how to troubleshoot your issue further.

  • I have an iPhone 4 using iOS 7.1.2. On my home screen at the email icon it shows I have over 11,000 unread emails. I have no emails and am not receiving any. Ipad shows I am receiving emails ok. Om my phone deleted folder is empty as well as Sent.

    I have an iPhone 4 using iOS 7.1.2. On my home screen at the email icon in red it shows I have 11,193 emails to be read.  I have no mail in Inbox, Drafts, Sent, or Trash. Where did this come from and how do I get rid of it. The number is printed in read on top of the blue and white emaiI icon. I contacted my cable company and through their website I can check my email. In doing this it showed I had 25 unread emails. Also, my iPad 2 is receiving emails fine.  So the problem is with the iPhone 4. What can I do to get rid of the number and make my mail operational?

  • I have an apple iphone 4gs... It is synced with my outlook exchange in the office. If I do a search for emails that also checks the server then all of a sudden I end up with various amounts unread email with the inbox saying "Inbox 71" ..which is not true

    I have an apple iphone 4gs... It is synced with my outlook exchange in the office. If I do a search for emails that also checks the server then all of a sudden I end up with various amounts unread email with the inbox saying "Inbox 71" ..which is not true. The only way to make the inbox on the iphone back to 0 is to delete the account then re install it.
    Anyone have any ideas

  • Why is my mail icon not showing unread email messages?

    For some reason, my mail icon is no longer showing my badge icon displaying the number of unread emails I have.  Within mail, next to my mailbox, it no longer shows the number of unread emails either even though there are clearly email messages with the blue dot indicating they're unread.  Does anyone know how I can fix this?
    Thanks

    Open Mail, go to top and under Mail select Preferences. Click on general and make sure where it says 'Dock Unread Count, you have it set to Inbox Only or All Mailboxes, whichever you want and that it isn't set to none. If it is already set then try cetting it to none, close mail, restart, open Mail and go and change it again from none to what you want.
    Good Luck

  • Mail icon not updating to reflect number of unread email in sub-folders

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with the default mail program on the iPhone, OS3.0.
    If you have sub-folders on an exchange server and set for them to be pushed under the "Mail folders to push" setting, email appears on the phone and it even give you your chosen email alert sound. However the number of unread emails is not reflected on the icon of the mail program.
    Is there a fix for this?
    Cheers

    As neuroanatonist wrote, I think this is linked to Apple Mail (whether iPhone or desktop) focusing only on the inbox(es) for tallying up the number of unread mail, and notifying the user accordingly.
    There is an open thread dealing with the root cause of the issue brks raised:

  • How to trigger unread emails for a given period ?

    Hello All,
    I kindly need your help on the following. I have a mailbox that receives huge number of emails per day , I`m processing those all unread emails every one minute using a third party tool and make them read after successfull processing , my concern is
    that I want to receive any alerts if there are unread emails after 5 minutes for example. Because this will mean that the emails are not processing hence the scenario has stopped running.
    Hopefully I`m clear enough.
    Best Regards,
    Haytham Fekry

    You should use time-script monitor which run every 5 minutes and return unhealthy if an unread email was found in inbox.
    The script as
    Set olApp=CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set olMAPI=olApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
    Set oFolder = olMAPI.GetDefaultFolder(6)
    Set allEmails = oFolder.Items
    dim oAPI, oBag
    Dim Status
    set oAPI=CreateObject("MOM.SCriptAPI")
    set oBag=oAPI.CreatePropertyBag()
    Status="Healthy"
    For Each email In oFolder.Items
    If email.Unread = True Then
    Status="UnHealthy"
    End If
    Next
    Call oBag.AddValue("State", Status)
    Call oAPI.Return(oBag)

  • Unread email count Is 3900 after upgrade to IOS 8.1.2

    AFter upgrading to IOS 8.1.2 my unread email count jumped to 3900 even though there is no email on my phone and none on the server. Is there a way of clearing this count?

    Hi, jaff067.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you have an unread message counter, but your mail account indicates all mail is read.  This usually means that you have an additional mail account setup.  Check to see if you can access this account or change mailboxes and clear the unread via the steps below.   
    Write messages

  • How do I count the number of unread emails in WebCenter ?

    how can I show unread emails counter on webcenter spaces ( I used the default WC Mail task flow )

    Hi Euler,
    interestingly enough, the reference guide for CMIS ( http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/CMIS_Query_Language ) that I found does not mention the COUNT function at all. On the other hand it states that: "The SELECT clause identifies which virtual columns to return in the result set. It can be either a comma-separated list of one or more queryNames of properties that are defined by queryable object types or * for all virtual columns."
    There are, however, some other posts like e.g. http://alfrescoshare.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/count-the-total-number-of-documents-in-alfresco-using-sql/ which state that they could make it working.
    Having asked in the WebCenter Portal forum, I assume that your content repository is WebCenter Content. The CMIS doc for the Content is available here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e15813.pdf (no COUNT there either). It does, however, mention explicitly that "CMIS queries return a Result Set where each Entry object will contain only the properties that were specified in the query.". This means your could rather investigate the Result Set. Note that there are also other means than CMIS how to get the requested result set (e.g. calling a search service directly via so-called RIDC).
    In the given context I am also interested what your use case is. OOTB CMIS in WebCenter Portal is used, for instance, in Content Presenter, where it is content rather than "parameters" what's displayed.

  • Is there a way to keep unread email at the top of the list?

    Is there a way to keep unread email at the top of the list?  I do not delet email after it's read so I end up with many 'read' email between the un-read email.  Is there a way to cluster the un-read email at the top of the list?
    Thank you,
    Patrick

    Just make a smart mailbox (unread mail) and leave it in the sidebar.

  • How to get Mail in iOS 7 to automatically clear unread email badge

    I thought that the whole new background app refresh in iOS 7 would help this issue.....
    I like that I can look at my iPhone 5s running iOS 7.0.2 and see that I have unread emails from the red badge on Mail
    However, if I do not use the iPhone to read those emails and I instead use my iMac, I thought that the badges on the Mail icon on the iPhone would automatically clear with the combo of using the push server an background app refresh.
    However, even if I read emails on my iMac, the Mail badge on the iPhone will not clear unless I launch Mail on he iPhone.
    FB badges go away if I check FB on the computer.
    Why not Mail?
    And is there any way to fix this?

    To anyone else following this, David and I have exchanged emails. I am the only one seeing this behavior.
    There just aren't that many things to tweak in Mail.
    1. General settings... nothing to do with this.
    2. Accounts... nothing relevent.
    3. Junk Mail... nada
    4. Fonts & Colors ... no
    5. Viewing... Show header detail -- Default, Display unread is selected. Others are not. (Message threading is selected)
    6. Composing... Plain Text, Check spelling as I type, Auto complete addresses (no LDAP configured), When sending to a group show all member addresses is selected, Quote the text and increase quote level are selected. and include selected text if any otherwise include all.
    not much there.

  • IPad unread email count doesn't tally with Microsoft Exchange 2007 email count from OWA.

    I discovered that when we first setup the iPad to sync email from Microsoft Exchange 2007 server via ActiveSync, the total number of unread email count tally with the count from OWA. After a few days, the unread email count will be out of sync. The settings for iPad "Mail days to syn": No limit. Mail to show: 1000. iPad iOS: 5.1.1
    We performed the following:
    1.     Compare email by email to verify which are the read email from OWA doesn't sync to iPad. We discovered that some emails read from OWA doesn't sync with iPad even performed forced update. However, if we delete that read email from OWA, it will delete (unread) from iPad immediately after sync.
    2.     Email recall message for successful recalled displayed in OWA but not on iPad.
    3.     Calendar invite message forward as email displayed in OWA but not in iPad.
    Is there a bug for Microsoft Exchange 2007 or there is limitation for iPad?
    Any kind expert can advice?
    Thanks.

    Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
    No.
    If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
    Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • Unread emails are not listed in BOLD

    I have my Mail Preferences for Viewing set to "Display unread messages with bold font" and it has always worked properly until today. Unread messages are not in bold font. I repaired permissions, rebooted, opened and closed Mail several times, toggled the preference off and on--yet new unread email messages are still not in Bold. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks.

    quit Mail and delete (or move to the desktop) the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. start Mail. you'll have to recreate all your email accounts so make sure you know all the settings before you try this. once the accounts are recreated they should recognize their existing mailboxes.
    if you have a backup you can restore that file from backup instead of recreating everything.
