I had the note 2 for verizon white version for 1 week now. Until 3 days ago stock Email app worked fine, and today I decided to reformat my note 2. The problem was I could no longer login to my email on my phone, it kept saying password has change enter a new password. I can login to my email from my computer but not from my phone.

So today I reformatted the phone, and now its not even letting me login the email. Every time I go into email after 2-3 minute of loading, it keeps saying Account setup error occurred. Timeout. Request failed.

I purposely typed wrong password to see how it would react, 3 minutes later it says the same message.

I duno whats going on any help?

Any chance your company IT department changed any security settings for your server?

Soryry for late reply, I have not tried what you have told me to try yet, and I don't work for a company T_T just a student~. but Im getting different errors now.

Accout setup error occurred
202: accepted

and

500: invalid server response

Is my phone crazy?

It is the same for a school as it is for a company /business. It is possible that they have changed server security or policies. I would check with your schools IT department who is in charge of the outlook servers and see if they can assist you.

sorry yes I forgot to mention I am using yahoo mail. Would the school / company stuff matter if Im using my own personal email rather then the company / student email?

The issue is with Yahoo. I was unable to set up the stock Email app with them this morning for the same reason. They are obviously working on their email server.
