Why can't I reply to an email?

[Android Central Question]

In the past few days when I try to reply to a received email on my cellphone I get a message "Downloading Emails" accompanied by an icon going round in circles. This process goes on & on without ever coming to completion, & I'm unable to do anything in my email app while this continues, such as typing a reply.
