Email no longer retrieving messages!

[elainejk21]

Up until Monday, I could refresh my Yahoo email account that I set up with no issues. Now, it will refresh but no new emails show up.. any suggestions on how to solve this??

It's not just yahoo either. Everyone I know that has a Droid their email has stopped syncing as well. My email was synced to Exchange but it no longer works. I have downloaded the TouchDown app which has a 30 day free trial  but refuse to pay once the 30 days is up since email syncing is why I bought this phone! FRUSTRATING!!

I'm hoping Motorola and/or Verizon send out an update soon that fixes this problem!!

I have not had issues with email syncing. I know Yahoo can be a bit finicky. But since I am not using Yahoo, I can't offer much help

I too have been having issues with both my yahoo and my gmail, I am not receiving notification of new messages.  This issue just started, and I have both accounts set up to notify in the status bar.  It is very frustrating.

For the Yahoo account,  if the problems persist, you might want to remove the account from the phone, then set it back up.
