Moto Z Play - Nougat 7.0 and 7.1 update - email issues

A

AC Question

since updating esp in 7.1 having problems sending emails - esp ones with photos - they end up in my Outbox limbo..... been trying to send and email with 3 photos - keep getting that red ! symbol -- worked fine on Marshmellow - any fixes???
Also having delays receiving emails - very frustrating - rarely had an issue with my old iPhone 5...
