Hmm, that's odd JeanEB. The error message referts to the connection to your email server not to cellular data or connection to wi-fi. Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Select your account and type in your password again. If this doesn't resolve it, delete/re-add the email account.

That's quite strange, markbrenda! What make & model phone do you have? When did this begin? Who is your email provider? We can help identify this issue and get things resolved.

Thank you,

The server failure is your EMAIL SERVER, not the phone or the network. It could be as simple as your password has expired, but check with your email carrier. Can you log into that email on any other device?
