I recently had to change my email password and when I went to change it on my phone I keep getting an error message saying "Invalid email address". The only field I changed was the password and the email is correct. My email/internet provider can't figure it out and said to ask Apple... they said deleting the account and recreating is a last resort because I'll lose some things?
