- The problem stems from the **[Outlook](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95202/why-is-my-icloud-email-not-working-with-outlook) App wrongly filtering email, resulting in an unread email showing up in Outlook** that you can't find. To find and delete/mark as read this one pesky email, you'll have to go online and search through your emails.
- Go to the View tab and then to the View settings.
