Hi,
After resetting iCloud sync as in this thread Resetting iCloud based sync - #10 by tomka i noticed something new. The item count on the unified inbox is wrong on one of my iOS devices (iPhone), but not on iPadOS. Is this something to worry about?
Here are three screenshots taken in a completely synchronized state:
And in this case, 9 = 6 + 2 as the following picture from iOS shows:
I already checked this thread, but it did not tell me anything new. Could be the same problem, though.
Are the actual items in those inboxes correct?
Yes, there are 8 items in the Inboxes and they are all intact. For a test I cleaned out the Inboxes and now it shows “1”:
Then there’s one “invisible” item. In the database that holds that invisible item, is there anything in the Tags that could be the culprit (e.g. an item that only exists inside a tag or such)?
Hmm. I’m not sure how to find out if there is an item that only exists inside a tag. But this item would not sync to other devices, right? On other devices I have exactly the same number next to “Tags” and “Papierkorb”.
And why are the counts for the individual inboxes correct, just not the count on the Unified inbox? How is that even determined if not by summing the numbers of the individual inboxes ??
We are looking into this issue but it’s likely a bug. The All Inboxes smart group is calculated differently than just summing up the numbers for performance reasons.
