This is very annoying to say the least. Always check my email thru my phone after inbox is all read and moved. I still get 2 unread mail when the inbox is actually clear. anyone else getting this error? i.e Icon on the home scree showing 2 ???

Maybe they're older emails that haven't been read. On a computer, mark all emails as read, should solve your problem

This has happened to me a few times and its extremely annoying! For some reason the unread emails weren't showing up on my phone but when I checked on the computer they were there. I had to delete the account and add it back...haven't had any issues since. Good Luck!!!

What's the domain? I have this problem a lot in my Yahoo Mail account. I will read all messages and it says no unread messages but the icon will still show 1-2 unread messages. If I sign onto the website, there is 1-2 or whatever the number is unread messages. It's as if the phone thinks they are read but fails to properly communicate this to the Yahoo mail server. It happened a lot with my Droid as well before I switched.

Are you using stock mail app or Yahoo mail app or another app?

Check to make sure you don't have a message left unread in a thread of messages. I had this problem and that's what it was.

I have this problem a lot. I also have yahoo mail account. The only solution is what NikkiSharif has said. I plug it in to the computer to erase it.

This has been happening to me as well, except mine does it when I go to "edit" and mark all of them as read. It'll show that it's "read" when I go back under edit but the notification number will still be there and there will still be the bubble next to the email as if it's new. I just have to do it twice and it clears.

Are you still experiencing this issue? I had a similar problem when I would sync my gmail account to my iphone, I would get a large number of unread emails notifications, yet I wouldn't see these unread emails on my phone or on gmail on a computer.

Solution: went to my gmail account on my computer, went to the menu bar on the left of the screen (reads from top to bottom: Inbox, Starred, Important, etc). When you hover your mouse over 'Inbox', a little drop down menu arrow will appear. I clicked that and selected 'Unread First'. This showed about 80-90 emails that were from years past and unread. Deleted all those emails and the notification went away.

Sorry if that was long winded, hope it helps!
