Access email iPad

Having a strange issue. I have setup Xfinity Email to all my apple devices. For some reason on my iPad only, it keeps saying it can't retrieve my emails. Says account error. On my phone and MacBook I have no issues. I tried restarting and reinstalling the email credentials on the iPad with still the same error. Any ideas?

Thank you. I figured out the issue. I was using a vpn and for some reason I couldn’t get any emails. Once I turned it off everything worked.
