Remove Legacy Exchange Email Account from Iphone/IPad and Android

Troubleshooting Email Has Been Blocked

An email message stating “Your email access has been blocked” means you are still using a legacy authentication method on your mobile device. Legacy authentications were removed when multi-factor authentication was implemented.
