my iphone 5c is stuck in the verify mode for adding a new email address. How long should it stay in the mode (currently 10 minutes) and how do I about this command?
Not that long. If you can't cancel, do a hard reset by holding the home and power buttons until the phone shuts off. Then turn the phone back on and try adding the email again.
The reason is does that could be as simple as typing in your address incorrectly when you try to set up you email on you new device or adding an email to a device you already have. You can almost hear it say hey...this isn't going to work... Just power off and back on again and start over.
You'll get it
