Cannot get mail, server unavailable error message n my Yahoo account only, but not on others

Although I have no problem getting hotmail and other yahoo account messages, my PRIMARY email account has been returning an error message "Cannot get mail, server unavailable". But my server is working just fine for everything else except my main yahoo account. Could anyone shed some light on this for me? Thank you all!!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Getting the "cannot get mail, password is incorrect" message with my AOL account only.

Getting the "cannot get mail, password is incorrect" message with my AOL account only. Could this have something to do with the iOS 7 update? When I log into my mail through safari it's fine, and I deleted it from my phone and went to go add it back but now I can't because it keeps telling me my password, which is correct, is incorrect. Has anyone else had this issue since iOS 7? How can I fix it?

I have had issues of "password incorrect" and mail not being sent, after doing the latest IOS 8 update to both my iPhone and iPad. I tired all the different suggestions I found (deleting and re-adding my AOL account, changing my password, etc) and nothing fixed it until now! While searching around for a solution, I happened upon a post from someone. I tried doing this to all three of my AOL email accounts (on both my iPhone and iPad) and now it works great! Here what that post said to do:
"1. Set up your AOL account(s) using the AOL option
2. Go into each AOL account(s) and under the "Outgoing Mail Server" section, press the SMTP entry
3. Set the "Primary Server" to "Off"
4. Press "Add Server" and provide the following information in the "Outgoing Mail Server" section
    a. Host Name - type in: smtp.aol.com
    b. User name - type in your user name WITHOUT the "@aol.com" - that was the problem/change!
    c. Password - type in your password
    d. Use SSL - On
    e. Authentication - Password
    f. Server Port - 587 (mine automatically set it to port 587)
After you enter in the above info, the Primary Server will still be set to OFF, but the new server you set will be set to ON, just doesn't show up in the Primary Server section. Be sure to do the above steps for each one of your AOL accounts (if you have multiples ones).
Apparently, in the main AOL Account Information section you need to use your user name and the "@aol.com", but you need to leave the "@aol.com" out of the SMTP. However, the Primary Server has that whole section grayed out so you need to ignore that one and create another one."
Good luck! Worked for me and now I am as happy as a Lamb!!

How long has it been going on? I've had my yahoo mess up and if i wait a bit it resolves itself. Yahoo is doing something with their servers and it messes with your mail if your mail happens to be on one of those servers.

Have you tried deleting the account and re-adding it on the phone?

I can not use Safari because I get a server failure message. The same with email. Cannot get mail, server failure. How do I fix

I Cannot use Safari to access my bookmarks, I get a server failure message. The same is happening with my email. I get a message cannot get mail, server failure. How do I fix the problem?

It might be worth a shot to reset your router first. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Or try any other WiFi network and see what happens.

Cannot get mail server failed

Message keeps saying Cannot get mail, server failed.

i had to manually put in the correct email. I wanted to register a hotmail account but since it was giving me that response, I researched this issue. Finally, I found out some specifics and gave it a try. The post said to Go to Add email and Click Other. My email is a live account... I needed to type::
host name: outlook.com
SMTP (Outgoing mail server): stmp.live.com
Server port as 995
When I put all of that in, it worked. Hope that helps!

Friend,
When you set a Gmail account you just need to enter your email account and password. It is impossible you enter the right information but it says "wrong". Double check it.
If you mentioned "iPhone ID" as your Apple ID, you can find it going to Settings>> iCloud. Check if you already sign in to. If not, sign in with your Apple ID and password. If you haven't created one, you can do it there.
Hop it will be helpful

Why do I sometimes get a pop up that says I cannot get mail because my user name or password are incorrect. But they are correct.

Sometimes when I am not at home and I Am trying to get my email I get a pop up that says "cannot get mail because user I'd or password is incorrect". But they are entered correctly.

My Gmail account did the same to me, I had just downloaded pictures from my camera memory card and thought it had something to do with it. My son said his Gmail has done this to him off and on for three years. He said he just leaves it and comes back a hour or more later and it works fine. I tried to change my password and got my whole Gmail account snarled up in a big fur ball!! It took two weeks to get it all straightened out. I will try leaving it alone next time or just start a new account. Good Luck

Ios7 now installed on my iphone 4S, emails show up but I cannot access them, message says cannot get mail - server failed. Why is this happening?

My message titles appear but I cannot access them since they are greyed out. Message in front says server failed. Messages accessable on regular computer, why the problem? Yesterday I installed ios7 on my iphone 4s..

I have this question too! I updated my Iphone iOS software last night and this morning, I cannot access my mail as it says that I cannot connect to the server. On both my Iphone and Macbook, when I open mail- it says that the server rejected my password for ICloud. I can also log in to ICloud online, so I know that it isn't my password- HOWEVER, when I try to access mail through the cloud online, it tells me that it is unable to obtain my mail. Is there an iCloud server problem currently? Is it a software problem? Please help with any suggestions! Thanks in advance.

Cannot use mail because of error message involving iCloud.

Here is the message I get when trying to go online with mail:
"This account (iCloud) appears to be offline due to a network problem. Do you want to try to go online now?" I select yes, take all accounts online, but I then get this error message: "This Mac can't connect to iCloud because a problem with '[email protected]'. Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem." What exactly in iCloud preferences can I do to 'fix the problem?'"

Update to my question:
I "unchecked" Mail in iCloud preferences and then checked it again, fixed problem.

Since upgrading to Lion on my iMac, I keep getting the following Pop up image error message. Translated in English it reads: The connexion to the server has failed. URL type files are not recognised.
Curiously enough, I upgraded my iBook with Lion also ... and I don't get this problem at all ! It does not cause any trouble, everything is working, BUT it is a Royal pain, as I have to click on OK twice to shut it down and it comes back up again every 10-15 minutes !! Can someone help ? Thank you.

Why would we be able to talk to the robots, but not to each other. Any ideas?

All,
Thanks for your input. And thanks especially to James Weston, Jeremy Varner, and Defcom, for kindly allowing me to test my iChat with them (and in the case of Jeremy, in the middle of the night).
After working pretty hard on the issue, I resolved my inability to iChat. In my case, the solution to Error-8 turned out to be pretty simple.
As described elsewhere on this board, the issue was open ports in my router. Instead of hassling with port forwarding, however, I 1) updated my firmware; and 2) once updated to the latest version, I activated UPnP. YMMV.
That first bit was important, as selecting UPnP on my old firmware apparently didn't work. Once updated, however, I had no problem chatting with the testers. Also, as descrbed elsewhere, don't put much stock in your ability to iChat with the robots. Use the live testers. The ones I chatted with were helpful and extremely accomadating.
Good luck all.

Exchange synchronises all folders but Inbox error Cannot Get Mail Server Error!

Initially I lost the inbox of my IPad running IOS 5 with my iPhone 4GS continuing to sync with my Exchange Server 2007 however changing mail setting on my phone has now stopped that working as well and I now have lost access to remote mail altogether.
I can still send mails from my Ipad and Iphone though if I send to myself they do not appear in the inbox but do appear in the Sent items.
If I delete mails they appear in deleted items
I have upgraded my IPad 3 to IOS 6 which has not changed anything. I have also tried an IPad 2 and that does not like my mailbox either. Tonight I created a new user on the server and sent mail to that mailbox. I set the settings on the IPad and the Inbox and other folders worked with no issues.
This problem started 2 weeks ago and before that I have never had problems with IOS devices syncing mail from my Exchange 2007 server.
My wife has a IPad 2 that links to the same Exchange Server and she has experienced none of these problems.
Any pointers on this would be most appreciated.

OK, we fixed my boss' iPad issue. We are using Exchange 2010. Somehow, there was an issue with the device association in his Exchange account. We had to remove the device association from his Exchange account, delete the account from his iPad, then re-add the account.. He is now syncing again.
You may be able to remove the device association in OWA. Let us know if this works for you.
As to the cause of the issue, it is still unknown.
