I have the same problem, five million unread emails because it grabs everything. It also grabs my "sent" messages and dumps them into my inbox, cluttering everything up. Arg!Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong....
I have gmail set to only pop mail that arrives from now on, yet when I add my gmail account to the iPhone it pulls in ALL my emails.
I even made sure to mark all mail as read but no change.
The Sent Items problem is a known issue that everyone else (including AT&T) uses filters to get around. Why Apple didn't bother is beyond me, but that's par for the course for a lot of things Apple has done with the iPhone.I have the same problem, five million unread emails because it grabs everything.

i got around that... i had 500 emais that got sent to be my iPhone the first day that i set it up.. i went into preferences and changed it so that i only get 25 emails at a time, then all i had to delete was 25 emails... still sucks that there is not a delete all feature.. but better 25 emails then 500
hope that this helps...
Interesting. I made that change and my mail finally stopped flowing in. Try deleting and re-adding your Gmail account on the phone.Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong....
