I have a Samsung S8 and after 3 years of trouble free use I have a problem. I dropped the phone from waist height onto its corner, nothing broken and phone continued to work. During the day though the email app (the Samsung one) started to play up, dropping shortly after opening so I can't use it. I also tried installing Outlook but that did the same. It has been suggested to me that I should do a factory reset but there is also a phone reset option which I think is less dramatic. Can anyone advise me the vest thing to do please?

I have another option or do I just have to get on with it?
Kind regards, Bob.

Who is your email provider? What have you put as the Incoming Server settings (all of them) in your Mail app, obscuring your name?

I'm with BT, always have been. Settings have not been changed in 3 years so not sure why you ask.
Kind regards, Bob.

Cuz they still be wrong or at least not appropriate for the EE network. That's the usual cause. Let's see them & I'll be able to tell you. Don't assume!

Factory reset could be the way to go with this, @BobPriston.
Just make sure you have all of your information backed up first.
