Help I can't get the email to work

[pastelsoda]

I had the note 2 for verizon white version for 1 week now. Until 3 days ago stock Email app worked fine, and today I decided to reformat my note 2. The problem was I could no longer login to my email on my phone, it kept saying password has change enter a new password. I can login to my email from my computer but not from my phone.

So today I reformatted the phone, and now its not even letting me login the email. Every time I go into email after 2-3 minute of loading, it keeps saying Account setup error occurred. Timeout. Request failed.

I purposely typed wrong password to see how it would react, 3 minutes later it says the same message.

I duno whats going on any help?

Any chance your company IT department changed any security settings for your server?

Would you be able to setup the account again from scratch? If so, you could clear the data from the email app and start over. I think you just go to application manager, find the email app, and clear data and cache. Next time you enter, it will probably ask you to set up your email again.

It is the same for a school as it is for a company /business. It is possible that they have changed server security or policies. I would check with your schools IT department who is in charge of the outlook servers and see if they can assist you.

Any chance you are using Yahoo Mail?

sorry yes I forgot to mention I am using yahoo mail. Would the school / company stuff matter if Im using my own personal email rather then the company / student email?

It's Yahoo. It's messed up and doesn't work well with the stock email. you may want to download the Yahoo Mail app from Play.

The issue is with Yahoo. I was unable to set up the stock Email app with them this morning for the same reason. They are obviously working on their email server.
