There's no way to delete it and we can't add it separately as it says the address is already in use. Her outlook account is doing it, and my gmail account. I have googled and looked through this forum and none of the things suggested have worked.
We have both:
- turned on flight mode. Account still syncs
- turned off the phone, restarted it. Tried it with flight mode on and flight mode off.
- done a soft reset
Obviously we haven't done a hard reset but really, really don't want to! Anything we can do to avoid that? And if we did do that, what would happen to the phone?
so while it's syncing, do emails come through? And the syncing happens even if data is off?
What if you accessed your email in the pc and changed passwords. I expect the mail app to bring an error where you would have to put in the new password
