I’ve installed Taskbarnotifier on my iPhone, and noticed that the email icon never went away.

Apparently this is down to the mail app not realising you’ve deleted an old email account (I had my .mac one on there then deleted it, must have had an unread mail in there when I did), so it always things there’s an email there. The way to sort this out is described below. Many thanks to ‘m.e.slater’ from the google source page.

You’ll be needing mobile finder for this…..

1. Once installed, run mobile finder.

2. Click the ~ in the top right corner.

3. Double tap Library.

4. Scroll to Mail and double tap.

5. Tap Envelope Index once.

6. Hit the modify button in the middle at the bottom.

7. Tap on it’s file name and add something on the end (‘old’ for example).

8. Click done at the bottom in the middle (where modify was).

9. Hit the home button.

10. Click the mail icon (you should see that there are no messages for a second).

All sorted, working fine.
