I try to change .my password in the mail settings app for phone but it dosent work. Or maybe is there a way to change my recovery phone number it's my number from bc which I live in winnipeg now. Please help. I have so many saved email which I cant even access that easily because they are saved in a fold called x-apple-transient-drafts which I must have hidden but cant access off phone. Please help with either problem.
