Droid Charge will not connect to Verizon Email server

[Steve_dot]

A little over a week ago my Samsung Droid Charge stopped connecting to the Verizon mail server.  I've been to the local store and the associate did a factory reset - it still wouldn't connect.  He said I need to upgrade and that repair was not an option.

Today I went online to my Verizon account and set the email to forward my verizon.net email to my Gmail account - all mail is coming in.  My contact list on this phone has synced with my Google account.  Everything else (connecting to the internet, texting, downloading apps and using them, etc) is working perfectly fine.  What is the problem with connecting to my Verizon mail account?

Steve,

Read this entire thread it may help you to decide which email app to install.

Is the EMAIL function being discontinued on the i510 Charge Phone??

Jerry,

I guess it's hit or miss with Verizon, but their customers form a great support forum! Thanks for being there.
