Over 7000 Unread Mails Vanished...?

[A.C.Fairbanks]

Hello,

On my iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 12.5.7... Mail displays that I have over 7000 Unread messages in my inbox, but I can't manage to view, or, more importantly, delete any of 'em.

I have Googled until my fingers bled, and experimented with lots of suggested solutions, but the problem persists.

Sincere thanks for any methods that might work,

A.C.

Can you access those emails on another device, such as a pc or Mac?

Check the filter on the emails. It may be filtering out the view you want. Or check the folders.

What is your email provider? Gmail, Yahoo, etc? That might help get down to the root of the problem.

Hi,

My email provider is our firm's website SMTP server, and searching there locates none of these "unread messages."

Thanks for any further thoughts,
A.C.

Check with your firms IT administrator. They might have done something or can figure out how their system has hidden the emails.

Some simple testing indicates that there are no unread messages on our server, Clearly, the problem is on my iPhone.

Thanks again,
A.C.
