No Response from Server

Hi All - anbody having issues with Samsung emails this morning (12/22)? I've been getting an "Unable to connect to email server to verify your account information" message whenever I try to send emails or check email settings on my Samsung tablets and phones. My Gmail and internet works fine so it's not the network.

Sounds like a server issue.

Bizarre but it turns out that AOL is now requiring App-Specific passwords to be entered instead of your normal password. You have to go into AOL's Account Security page and generate a random password that you can copy and paste into your Samsung Email password setting. Once I did that, voila, all emails downloaded. Took me all day to stumble on that solution.

I've been trying for a few weeks an it's not letting me sign in my password is right but its saying it's not now I cant sign into my Facebook account with out my hotmail account.
