Email stuck at "Connecting..."

Why is my AOL (Verizon) email app displaying a blank "All Inboxes" screen and "Connecting..." at the bottom? I've uninstalled/reinstalled my account and confirmed all settings are correct.


Now it shows "Cannot Get Mail"; The connection to the serer failed. Server message "(null)".

Your device is probably not connected to the internet. There are a few steps you can take to verify the connectivity of your device.


Firstly, you can open a web browser on your device. When you open a web browser, the initial page that loads is typically based on your browsing history or cookies. To further confirm the connection, you can tap on any link on that website. If the link opens and displays the corresponding content, it confirms that your device is indeed connected to the internet.


Another method to check internet connectivity is by opening a specific application that requires an internet connection. WhatsApp is an example of such an application. When you launch WhatsApp, it immediately attempts to establish a connection with its servers to synchronize your chats and display any new messages. If you can see your chat conversations and receive real-time updates, it indicates that your device is connected to the internet.



Connecting to Wi-Fi is the initial step, followed by establishing an internet connection.


However, it's important to note that connecting to Wi-Fi does not automatically guarantee an internet connection. In the event that you are unable to connect to Wi-Fi, the issue may stem from settings on your iPhone or the router/modem.


On the other hand, if you are unable to establish an internet connection despite being connected to Wi-Fi, the problem is likely related to the settings on your router/modem. In such cases, it is advisable to promptly contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for assistance.

  • Over Cellular: contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider). The agency that issued the SIM to you
