I have an LG tablet and a Verizon network (US). When it was new I could get up-to-date email. Now I can't get anything more recent than a few days old. I get current Facebook postings and messages just fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance,
CB

Sometimes you need to turn off and back on the mobile devices to get them to update, and I think in my phone I have it set to only hold a certain volume of mail, so if I get attachments, they gum up the works and won't let more download. It's set to show only two weeks worth and hold a certain volume - if it isn't time for the big ones to drop off of the list, nothing new can be added.

You might have to sort and purge on the mobile device.

Do you actively do anything to ensure your email app gets the latest mail, or do you just wait for it to arrive? If you just wait, look for a 'get new mail' option among the menus.

My Android email app (K-9) used to get mail by itself but after an update to Android 7 it now goes to sleep and I sometimes have to select 'get new mail' manually.

Facebook messages use a separate method to email.

Have you tried the manufacturers?
