How To Fix Samsung Galaxy S9 Email App Not Working

Problem: I hope you can help. I did try the soft reset, installing the latest android software version, etc.  After having my S9 for a year weeks, I suddenly cannot do anything with emails aside from read. I cannot reply or forward.  If I click on that, nothing at all happens. This is a huge problem for me as I need to do this for work. I have an aol personal account and 2 outlook accounts for each of two work locations.  I don’t know what else to try or who to ask. I have a feeling that uninstalling and reinstalling will not be the answer since I have a similar problem with another app, and I’m thinking maybe it is not a coincidence.  That is just a calorie counting app. I can put items into it, but when I try to delete something, nothing happens when I click on delete. I did not change any settings on my phone. the only thing I did differently was use it in a car I do not ordinarily use, and so it was a different Bluetooth connection.  Please help!
