Something weird is going on with my emails on my iPhone.
When I go into my mail app I see a list of my emails. Some show an incorrect email address than that of the actual sender and the subject line has nothing to do with the actual email. Some show the correct email address but the the subject line is from a different email. Some show a preview that doesn’t belong to that email. Or it’s a mix of all these being wrong.
Rebooted my phone thinking everything will go back to normal but nothing changes. I wonder what’s going on. Will have to access my email via my laptop and see if that issue exists there too.
The screenshot will hopefully make what I just explained more clear. The first thing you see is an email that mylot paid me. The subject line is clearly from a different email. The other two emails all three things (email address, subject line, and email preview) are from three separate emails, no connection whatsoever to each other.

Hmm, may need a call to Apple support.

Removing all email account from my phone and entering them again seems to have worked.

Sounds like your email has been hacked.

@thislittlepennyearns Closing the app and opening it again didn't help. Restarting the phone didn't help either. I can attempt to remove all accounts and connect them again. Just gotta figure out what my passowords are. Don't remember as it's been a very long time since I had to enter one.

@lovebuglena I would delete and reinstall either the email app on your phone or log out and bak in. I have had that happen when I had an iPhone.

@lovebuglena You can request a reset code.

@lovebuglena - It surely was a glitch, I am glad you could fix it.

On my laptop everything seemed fine, though there were a few emails where the email was html code instead of what it was supposed to be in it. I ended up removing all my email accounts from the iPhone and entering them again. That seemed to have worked.

I'm glad to hear that you fixed the problem. Sometimes you have to watch when an email address doesn't match the sender. I had that happen to me; and it was someone scamming me.

This was some weird glitch or something. I hope it won’t happen again. I hate deleting email accounts and entering them again.

Check to make sure your email is not synchronize, if you suspect foul play quickly change your email password.

I checked a mail app I use on my laptop and do not have that issue there.
