Thousands of unread email badge after upgrade to iOS 7, how to fix ?

[rak007]

So i had like 4 email accounts (all yahoo) synced on my iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1.1 and the badge gave me real number of new unread emails only. Like 2-3 or whatever the number of NEW unread emails were there.

But yesterday i updated to iOS 7.0.4 and restored my backup and now the badge reads like 4500 unread emails. How do i fix this and make the badge show only NEW unread emails and not ALL like it is showing now.

Tried but the Mark All does not mark all the emails and probably the only emails that show up in initial view, about 50 or so i think and not the thousands unread that i have.

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Click on your Account > Click Delete Account.

Problem solved.
