Odd email error

[knyque]

My email has been working fine, until a couple of days ago, then it would only work if it was connected to my computer through active sync. If I tried without connecting, I got the error "cannot connect to the incoming mail server". Other applications can access the internet without being connected to my computer (although, PIE has been acting up a bit), so I do have an internet connection, it's just that my email doesn't seem to work. I haven't installed anything in a long time either, so there's nothing new that could be messing it up.

I deleted the email on my phone and recreated it, thinking there may be an issue with that, but I got the same error.

Another oddity though, if I start the email send & receive while connected through active sync, then disconnect my phone from the computer, it will still finish the download, it just won't initiate the download without first being connected.

Thanks in advance if you know what's going on.

Any ideas?

had this issue. ended up doing a hard reset and it worked. try a soft reset first...it could work...just got sick of messn with it. when i deleted the account it wouldnt let me put it back on there until after hard reset. back up your pim from root of my device copy to a memorable place on your memory card. after wipe change pim on my device to pimold (do not delete it) and copy pim from memory card to root of my device soft reset. only thing u will lose is browser bookmarks but u can text them to ur email addy. programs i assume you already saved to your meory card.

I've had the phone for about a year, and I've done maybe 2 hard resets (one for the new rom), and 1 exchange. I was hoping not to have to go through that again, loading software, my settings, etc, but I have a feeling that's my only course of action.

Thanks for the help.
