    Once you go to mail app, click the edit button next to "mailboxes" and click the unread button. This will add a tab in which you can view all unread messages. Then, keep refreshing. This worked for me.. I had 2 invisible unread emails that went away after I did this. Hope it works for you [@]LittleTimmy[/@] and [@]Abstract668[/@]

      Mine shows over 20,000 emails & your suggestions isn't working.  Every time I do it they just come back.

    Hi

    Every time you update OS it changes your mail settings.

    Go to

    Settings

    Mail,contacts,calendars 

    Click on whoever your mail carrier is

    Scroll down to advanced . Click on.

    click on "Delete from server"

    Choose . "When removed from inbox"

    save.

    Problem solved.

    Unfortunately you have to go back and delete all those old emails(

    I'm recently having the same damn problems with only my hotmail accounts and I've not upgraded my phone yet to IOS8. I go into the account and click all as read then delete the ones I don't want but low and behold when it tries to receive my emails they all download again even the ones I've deleted. It's getting really frustrating. In my settings I do have the move the deleted messages after one week as well as delete from server once deleted - what else can I do?? I don't have enough space to download IOS8 just yet so not sure of this problem would be fixed?

    Hello, I've been following this forum, thought I had the same problem, but apparently not.  All of a sudden my Mail App says I have 1321 emails.  However, if I go into  the Mail App, highlight the email (Comcast) , the edit button in the upper right hand corner is greyed out because it says I have NO mail.  While typing this I received another email, now 1322, I deleted the new email and it went back to 1321 but I can't get rid of those.   So frustrated, any ideas?

    Wish I could say it solved my problem but not so much.  I followed the instructions above to delete 1321 emails but the Mail Icon on my face screen says they are still there.   Can't go into the mail app and delete them because it says I have No Mail.   Any other ideas

    Same exact problem, I have 1321, emails according to icon app but there is nothing to delete.  Says I have no mail - aarrrgghh!   If I get new emails I can delete them but not the phantom 1321.

    My edit button is "greyed" out because it says I have No Mail, even my Mail Icon is saying there are 1,321     Looking for any other suggestions out there???

    Same problem with me - they go, then after a few hours (or sometimes minutes) they are redownloaded - AND - it uses up my data allowance, so is costing me. It didn't do it until this month, and I didn't change anything. I use a BT pop3 server, and there is no mail on it, as it clears once I've downloaded the mail on my mac, just my phone keeps recovering them from somewhere, and I cannot find out where. cloud and gmail accounts are turned off on the phone for mail - I cannot see where these messages are coming from. while typing this, all of todays and yesterdays mails are back in the inbox - which was empty ten minutes ago! Driving me mad!

    After all of these tips failed for me, I finally managed to sort it out. As none of the emails were showing on my iPhone mail account even though it said 3000+ unread emails, I managed to log into my mail server on the computer and move all my inbox mails to a new notes folder names old messages (create one) You either delete all the messages off the server (which i didn't want to do) or move them to a notes tab - so if I ever need to see any of them again I can :) Your welcome!

    Hi All

     

    The happen to me too.

    I both have a IMAP and a POP Gmail. 

    I just enabled on my MAC the Gmail pop see again and my 4,984,987 mails unread disappear.

     

    Solution that worked for me is in the mail program on your MAC computer you "right" click to edit your Gmail mail acounts.

    If you only have a pop gmail you need to add the IMAP too. As soon I " Enable this account" on my IMAP Gmail all the unread mails disappeared.

     

    Remember this is done on your MAC and not on your phone.
