  • I am not receiving any new emails and can’t send any! This just started about 4 days ago. I have an Apple 6SPlus iphone. I have tried to follow the instructions given but when I get to the mail it’s in 3 separate items not one! In other words I can’t choose mail is one calendars is one and contacts is one to choose from. I need my email to stay in touch with my attorney!!
