When I use spotlight for various searches, it shows email messages which I have already deleted. Although when you select them it takes you to the folder the message was originally stored in, but the message is not there.

The messages are not in any trash folder or deleted messages folder either on the iPhone (iPad) itself or on the server (using iCloud mail).

There are also a number of messages which can be read (indicated by a blue dot) - these seem to be ones that I have written or started to write, but not actually sent (could have been saved as a draft - but again nothing in the draft folders). You get taken to and can read the full email from being selected in spotlight, but is not stored anywhere in my mail folders.

I'm running the latest version of iOS 8.1.1.
Devices are fully restored (DFU) without any apps or data. No old copies are used. But when I start using devices, new deleted emails starting to appear in Spotlight search (forwarding emails are 100% saving and can be opened with text and pictures attached).
Problem persist in iOS from 2009. Turning of search for mail and sms is not the fix of such security bug.

Is there anyway to either reset the spotlight cache, or delete the cache to remove all these "deleted" emails from spotlight, without restoring each time. I have searched many forums, but to no avail. I need to buy cleaning app for PC?

Thank a lot Apple.
