Old emails moving to top of list

Hi TheSquirt,

Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.

It sounds like you may be using the new Follow Up feature. You can read more about it here: Reply to and forward emails in Mail on iPhone. This can be switched off in Settings > Mail.

"Follow up on emails

If you send a message and don’t receive a response for several days, the email automatically moves back to the top of your inbox to help you remember to follow up.

Go to Settings  > Mail, then turn Follow Up Suggestions on or off."

If that doesn't resolve the issue let us know more details.

Have a fantastic day!

TheSquirt,

Do you notice this issue at the email webpage for this account? Also, if you have multiple accounts in the Mail app, is it only one with this issue or multiple ones?

Let us know and we'll continue from there.

Cheers!

Hey TheSquirt,

Thanks for there additional information.

Perhaps there is a filter selected inadvertently, which is causing the older emails for just Comcast to be in a different order. Take a look:

1. Open Mail app
2. Select < Mailboxes on upper left
3. Scroll down to Comcast
4. Tap on Inbox
5. On the bottom of the screen, tap on Filtered By:
6. Unread should be checked
7. Further down that page, make sure no other options have been selected.

See if that helps.

Take care!
