My iPhone 6+ suddenly says when I click on my email icon "Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed." What's this mean?

If ANY of you end up having an issue connecting to your
Corporate or even personal email while being mobile, it's because the update TURNS OFF the
"mail" option under your cellular data!!! So, I was able to get email
when connected to WIFI only. By the grace of God, I kept fiddling and noticed this was turned OFF!

So, go to "Settings", Select "Cellular" and then scroll till you see all your apps. Turn it on.User uploaded file
