Hi there,

My mail app, for some reason, has never had any issues with my Gmail account. I noticed recently that one of my e-mails that had been set as unread after I read it is no longer appearing. The Mail app shows 3 unread messages on the mail icon, when in fact I have 4.

If I use the 'search inboxes' feature, it works fine and it finds the e-mail and shows it as unread, increasing my overall unread count to 4. However, when I leave the e-mail from the search menu and scroll down the list of my e-mails, it doesn't appear. In fact, a few hours later, my unread count goes back down to 3. I can search for and find the e-mail again, but just don't understand why it no longer appears in my mail list.

I've logged into Gmail on the web interface and double-checked that the e-mail is in my inbox, which it is.

I did a bit of Googling but couldn't find anything, would appreciate any advice.

Thanks.
