Incorrect Unread Count iPhone / iPad Issue

The Mail app on your iOS device shows an incorrect unread count when there actually aren’t any unread mail messages in your inbox.
First off all please check to see it you really don’t have any unread mails. You can do this by opening the Mail app, opening your inbox, selecting “edit” at the top right, select “Mark All” at the bottom left and select “Mark as Unread”.
I the issue still exists, try the fix below.
