My android already has email set up but it doesn't work properly. I want to use a century link app but it tells me the email already exists. How do i set it up?

Close, but not cigar. My new Android phone "thinks" for quite a while but eventually says that an "account could not be setup."

I have gone through all the steps on this page. I get a reply on my android phone that says "network not available. Try again later". Reminds me of the old 8-ball. Can you help me. Centurylink says it's not a connection issue. T-Mobile says it is. I'm stuck.
