I'm curious what the solution to this is too. &nbsp;A friend of mine attached his yahoo account to his iPhone and had 36k emails unread and he didn't know how to resolve that. &nbsp;My first thought was login to his yahoo account on a desktop and clean up the emails...but 36k? &nbsp;That's a lot of work!

I use Gmail for my email. At some point I connected it to my iPhone.<br />
<br />
The iPhone thinks there are 24,681 unread messages. <br />
<br />
On my computer, there are 9,957 TOTAL messages, 1,300 unread.<br />
<br />
Like many people I keep many of my messages for back reference.<br />
<br />
How can I get rid of the 24K on my iPhone?

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.
