Emal Setup on Nokia Lumia 635

[lsbfwiw]

Hi,

I have a Nokia Lunia 635 phone and had my Verizon email account setup on it. I very rarely check my email on my phone, but when I did the other day, the account would not sync and I received a message that the account required attention. I've deleted the account from the phone and have tried recreating it numerous times, but the account will not sync and it keeps telling me it requires attention. Any thougts  as to what the problem might be and how I can correct it? Thanks!

Hi Tom,

Thanks for trying to help. I went to the Windows Phone 8.1 site and found a query there that was similar to the problem I am having and tried the suggestion of doing a soft shutdown of the phone, turning off automatic date and time on the phone and then re-adding the account. After doing this I get a message: Verizon Error, Not Updated, We're having a problem downloading messages. Make sure you have a connection and your account info is correct and then try again.  Error code: 80072F30. 

I think the problem is with Verizon and not with the phone. Since Verizon is no longer in the "email business" I don't know if there is anyway to get support from them. I actually have to log into my email on my computer differently now. I used to click on the email icon on the top right of the Verizon/Yahoo start page and that would take me to the Verizon/Yahoo login page where I enter my username and  password. For whatever reason, it no longer accepts my password saying that it is incorrect. In order to access my email by clickin the  My Verizon at the top of the  Verizon/Yahoo start page.  When I log in from that, I then have to go to the bottom of the page and  and select Check Email.   Any thoughts about that??
