EMailS dated 12/31/69

[Swami7774]

This morning I got ten emails dated 12/31/69. They can’t be opened or deleted. I’m getting them only on my iPad, not iphone. I’ve rebooted the iPad several times and the ghost emails won’t go away.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Is your email set up as POP? If not, you should be able to delete them from your provider’s webmail site.

It’s a Comcast account and is set up as an IMAP. I went to the Comcast webmail site and the ghost emails don’t show up there—only on my iPad.

I’d probably just remove the account from the iPad and then re-add it since it’s an IMAP account.

Hmm. I’ve never done that. Is it really as simple as hitting “delete account” and then adding the same info back in?

Yes. You may need to check the settings (notifications, default account, etc.) afterwards.

I was going to do it today, but the remaining ghost emails have disappeared. So I’ll leave well enough alone.
