Frustrating! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Let's go through some steps to resolve the problem:
Check your internet connection
- Ensure you have a stable internet connection on your phone. Try opening a web page or checking your email on a computer to see if the issue is specific to your phone.
- If you're using a mobile data connection, try switching to Wi-Fi to see if the issue persists.
Check your email settings
- Go to your phone's Settings app and navigate to the "Accounts" or "Mail" section.

- If an update is available, install it and try sending and receiving mail again.
Check for email app issues
