Email: Updating forever
Earlier I had the problem of the email app simply not updating my hotmail account anymore. It would say updating, never stop (until closed) and not give any error. I tried deactivating the account, allowing and disallowing apps to use it and moving .qmf to forced it to generate a new one, moving it back etc. The only thing that fixed it was rebooting the device.
I don't know what caused this, but if it happens again, where might I look for logs and how might I force restart the mail service/application? Does it use cron jobs? systemctl didn't show anything containing "mail. What would a restart fix?
