Many Android users have two or more email apps installed on their devices. The number of Android users checking their emails on their mobile devices has already outnumbered desktop email users. Checking your inbox on your phone is quicker, simpler, and more convenient.
Unfortunately, your email app may sometimes stop working. The app either becomes unresponsive or throws various error codes on the screen. Let’s explore how you can troubleshoot your email app on Android.
What Can I Do If My Email Stops Working on Android?
Force Stop the App
If your email app is affected by some temporary glitches, force closing it should fix the problem. Go to Settings, tap Apps, select the problematic email app, and hit the Force stop option. Relaunch the app and check if you can access your inbox.
