Search is your friend; there are quite a number of posts/threads about e-mail syncing issues that go across several phones and e-mail services.  Apparently the problem started a week or so ago and so far no one seems to know what the problem is or how to fix it, I'm afraid.

[Makivaara]

HAH. Fixed it myself. This is what you can do.

Settings > Accounts and services >  Add account > (503 Service unavailable) > (instead of freaking out, choose  OTHER ACCOUNT or Microsoft Exchange) > Enter account info. ex blah@hotmail.com and password then accept push settings. BOOOM, it works. You dont have to deal with crappy k9 email

MAKE SURE YOU UPDATED YOUR PHONE TO JELLYBEAN FIRST

[tikibar1]

Good deal!  Glad that worked for you (I don't think it has for others).

How do I check for Jellybean, and/or update?

[charliebrown29]

Yep, That seems to have done the trick.  Thanks.

I haven't been able to receive or send work e-mail (yahoo bizmail account) since December 20. I can't delete the account as I get a 503 error and I can't start over to add an account because I get a message that the account already exists.  Any advice welcome to fix this for my workplace sanity!

Have you tried using the Yahoo Mail app or another e-mail client like K-9?  Both are available in the Google Play Store.

Easiest way to access the accounts is to go into Play Store, dl the Ymail, Live/Hotmail, etc, apps, et voilà! You should now be able to access them. (I had the same issue on my Rezound, and downloading the apps corrected it easily.)

That worked!  Thank you so much Hopesprings!
