Receiving the following message. Changed nothing. Just stopped working. All other portable devices working fine.

The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving a message. Mail server outlook.office365.com responded: Server Unavailable. 21

Has anyone seen this or have a solution? Thank you.

Is this a POP account? I think that error happens when there is an error retrieving a message. You might try logging in online to view the folder and possibly delete or move problem message.

This is a server issue, not related an email client.
