I am using a VHP if that makes a difference.

Ok, a VPN won't make any difference.

Ok, perhaps they've enforced their password policy. You might need to generate an app specific password for Mailwasher Mobile with iCloud.

I’m back in USA. But it worked in Mexico the first week. I don’t know what’s going on

Can I change the incoming server port number? It doesn’t seem to let me.

Same for me: samsung S8, android app most recent version "unable to contact server" for several days now. Does not depend on whether I'm using 4G, wifi at home or wifi at work. Used to work reliably, what's up?

Hard to know unless we can replicate the problem here. At the moment we have no idea why some people can't access it.
Clarification, is this an email account or the whole application that's the issue? I'm assuming it's the application. Can you provide a screenshot?

Mailwasher pro on laptop win10 is fine. It's the android app that has the issue. Can't seem to attache a screenshot here, so here's a Onedrive link to my screenshot: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgseACfYOxhmgbh8OYzHd1H8xQ11Qg
Doesn't tell you much! If I pull down to retry/refresh then I get a red bar saying "cannot connect to server".
I've made no changes to my android app, so username and password should still be good.
App is version 2.0.0
Can't find the date I updated it via the play store, think it was fairly recently.
Poked around in the phone and can't find the app files to look at file date, ho hum.

Alright, so it's the email account which is the issue. What email provider is it?
