I figured it out. WAAAAAY too embarrassed to say what the fix was. Definitely user error.
to the op,
if your girls phone works, why not copy her settings over to your device?
if you are using the stock email app,
what accounts are you using that have this issue?
how long have you had this phone? and has this issue been happening since day one?
do you have background sync ticked?

rooted?
are you using stock email app? gmail app? other 3rd party?
install or uninstall any apps prior?
how many email addresses do you have?
any sync errors in the sync tab in settings?
same behavior over wifi as well as cellular?
remove the email addresse(s) and re-add?
Well, f***ing Gmail had 2 unread messages. And I think stock email icon removed that blue circle with number 2 after I checked those two Gmail messages before I removed and re-added email account to the stock email app.you are correct. gmail and stock apps are different, however I did not know which mail app you were talking about.
removing the email address and re-adding may solve the issue.
