I have an email account using pop/smtp to my own domain. Email is working correctly from my laptop and via webmail. Email to/from my phone doesn't send/receive after the phone upgraded tp 5.1. I've confirmed the email account settings on the phone are the same as the ones used for my laptop and webmail. I looked at deleting this email account on my phone and re-adding it but the phone tells me it will delete all data when I delete the account. I have a number of queued outgoing emails I don't want to lose so I haven't deleted/created the acocunt.

Just want to report that my wife's email is now working too after I did the update. I deleted the app and reinstalled the latest version and it fixed it. Thanks to this forum and everybody for helping to resolve this issue.
cmmillow,
Let's get this working for you, we want to see you able to use your email properly. Is this issue only with your personal domain email? Or do you see it on other "general" email accounts like Gmail and/or yahoo?

Personal email account, I have a gmail account, but it forwards to my personal address.
I can access my airbnb and twitter accounts correctly.
It's been almost 24 hours with no reply from Verizon Wireless Customer Support. Will I be receiving another reply to help get this issue resolved?
Try deleting the cache on the email app (application manager --> delete cache) This will not remove the queued emails).
If that doesn't work, (reboot after you clear the cache) then deleting and re-adding may be the only way to get the email working again. It will re-sync with your email, so you won't lose any that reside on the email server. If you have composed emails that are in the "send" queue only on your phone, then you may lose those, yes. Copy / / paste to another app and redo from the paste after the app is working again??
Check the outgoing SMTP port in your e-mail settings. My e-mail won't sync/send/recieve POP email to my own domain either. Mucho troubleshooting later, I'm finding that I can set the outgoing SMTP port to the needed 80, ports are validated successfully, but as soon as I leave that screen the system sets the port to 587, so the e-mail fails to sync and just sits there spinning.
Reboot, clear cache, delete and add account, nothing to date has fixed this glitch which started late last week (10/16/15)
You can download another email client from the Google Play store, and use that. Worked for me and clearly verified that it's the Verizon software/port and not your ISP/domain/etc. (Thanks to the VZN rep who shared that tip with me).
Thanks for the suggestions from other users. Unfortunately nothing has worked (reboot, clear cache, delete and add account).
The other thing that hasn't worked is getting another reply from Customer Support. I felt a slight bit of hope when they replied to my first posting, but then they didn't reply to my question a day later and I am now writing again to ask if they will reply now and help me fix my phone.
Or is Customer Support just going to sit back and ignore this while other users step up? Come Verizon, show me you deserve a bit of respect here.
Can you be patient? Responses from the VZW reps can't always be immediate. As this is primarily a peer to peer customer forum and sometimes the members can provide better answers based on their own experience.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
cmmillow Please do not feel we are not concerned about your post, we will definitely help resolve this issue for you. Thank you for trying all the suggestions provided by the community. In my review of the postings I see all suggestions are correct. Can you check the email settings on your computer to make sure they won't delete from the computer if you delete the account from your phone. Once you confirm you can delete the email account from your phone and add it back.

As was pointed out, this is primarily a peer to peer customer forum, so I do appreciate Customer Support responses (really, I do). I'm also a bit jaded after several decades in the tech world as these primarily peer to peer forums, while setup and hosted by the company that received the customers money, generally don't get the level of productive support most customers would like. That's not a slam about Verizon in particular any more than the industry standard practice of using free customer-generated support to solve other customer's issues, which cost the company nothing but the cumulative bad-will of those for whom this model doesn't produce results.
To that end, as I stated in my last reply, I have already tried all the customer generated suggestions and "unfortunately nothing has worked (reboot, clear cache, delete and add account)".
Having already deleted and recreated the email account on my phone, I now have an empty mail screen with an ever-spinning blue circle as it tries to connect to my mail server. I have left the phone sit in this state overnight without receiving any email or the phone correctly connecting with the mail server. What should I try next?
Have you tried K-9 Mail - Android Apps on Google Play or another email app, rather than the native email on the phone? Just FYI, I have used several custom domain email addresses on my Turbo and they have all worked, quite well. Email is one of the primary things I DO with my phone.
And, BTW, "...the industry standard practice of using free customer-generated support to solve other customer's issues, which cost the company nothing but the cumulative bad-will of those for whom this model doesn't produce results." True, and in many cases, the customer seeking help DOES get issues resolved. I hope yours is one of those cases.
Having the exact same problem. Verizon say Go Daddy issue, Go Daddy says it's Verizon. Accounts are set up and accepted by Go Daddy but all I get is the spinning wheel on the phone. Gave older Droid to my wife ... set up the same e-mails that I deleted when I got my new Turbo and they work perfectly. The Turbo was working just fine and suddenly one day last week all-mails out and in stopped. No joy !
Having the same issue with my wife's Turbo. Stopped at the same time and symptoms exactly as described in this thread. After doing all the things suggested above, the only thing that worked was installing a different email app. Working now, but may have to iterate on this until we find an email client we like. Would prefer to get the native one working.
OMG! Verizon sent a bug fix this morning. Phone working fine. Hallelujah!
Great news! Is this a general push to every user, or was this specific to you?
Have no idea. It was some sort of a moto app update bug fix.
Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID
Could it have been a Moto app update from the Play Store?
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
As of last night my phone was still not sending/receiving email. Overnight Moto Mail pulled (was pushed?) an update which has fixed the problem. I now have MOTOEMAIL-00.00.03.0104 updated on 10/29/15 installed and properly sending/receiving emails.
The What's New listing for this update shows "Resolved various sync issues with POP3 email accounts" as the first entry of many things changed in this update.
cmmillow I'm so happy to learn the email is working again. Thank you for all your hard work and understanding. It is wonderful when it all comes together.
