I cannot acess some of my emails. Thunderbird keeps saying "connection to SMTP server (email adress) timed out. What does that mean? What do I do please?

I purchased 2 new email, adresses a few weeks ago. Both were fine but a few days ago I was stopped sending and stopped receiving emails on the one. The message comes up on my screen "connection to SMTP server (followed by my email adress) timed out. That does not mean a thing to me. What should I do please?

Thankyou.
I had been asked by ICANN some days ago to do something but I thought it was a scam so ignored it. Most other users I have spoken to have never heard of ICANN or been asked to 'register' with them or whatever. Anyway, post writing to you I have now 'registered' with them . When I now click on my incoming email adress it just says "failed to connect to server" but why it fails I do not know.

  • Bought books and cannot download get message:  import failed (E_ADEPT_NO_TOKEN)  What does that mean and what can I do to get my books?

    Bought books and cannot download in my tablet. Got message:  import failed (E_ADEPT_NO_TAKEN)  What does that mean and what xan I do to get my books?  I DID DOWNLOAD ADOBE DIGITAL EDITIONS.

    Update - this appears to be some kind of error with Google Chrome browser on Android.  A work-round that worked for me was to download Firefox, uninstall Aldiko then reinstall it via Firefox and Google play (accessed via Firefox not through the app) then re-authorise my device.  When I logged onto the library ebook service, via Firefox, I was able to download books fine.  Thought this might help anybody else getting the same error message.

  • On my iPad, my outgoing email regularly replies that the email was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying.  WHat does that mean and how do I make the email go anyway?

    on my iPad, my outgoing mail regularly replies that the email was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. What does that mean and how can I make the emails go out?

    Try this.
    Check your username and password in the outgoing mail server setting. Fill it in even of it says that it's optional.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>choose the email account>account name, tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email username and password and see if that works for you.

    You have to connect your iPad to iTune (computer) and Check for Updates.
    Backup before you proceed with update.

  • Keep getting message "ipad cannot be synced, unknown error (1150)...what does that mean?

    Whenever I try to sync my iPad I keep getting message "iPad cannot be synced, unknown error" with code (1150).  What does that mean?

    This happened to me after I upgraded to iOS6. 
    Tried everything I could find in a common thread here on the site, but what finally worked was...well, the last thing I did before it allowed a sync, I guess I can't say for sure that this is the problem, but...somehow, in the sync settings for the iPad, the "Sync Only Checked Songs and Videos" box had become unchecked.  Clearly, there isn't enough room on the iPad for everything on the laptop, so I think this may have been choking it. 
    Worked fine at that point.
    And, for what it's worth, I looked at the Music tab for my iPad in iTunes, and THERE it said only to use selected artists and playlists, but on the main SUMMARY page, the box was unchecked. 
    Oh, and I updated all the apps on the iPad (73 updates??) before trying the sync, so that might be a factor too. 
    Good luck.

  • I sent an email to a government agency and got a message back that said I was a Spybot.  What does that mean?

    I sent an email to a government agency and got a message back that said I was a spambot.  What does that mean?

    Unfortunately you have  inadvertently become aware that you are in fact a non- human. You are in reality a Bot. Please report to your closest Apple store. Tomorrow everything will be ok and you will once more believe you are human. P.S.  Do not send emails to goverment agencies again you silly Spambot.

  • I sent an email to a govt. Agency and got one back saying I was a spambot.  What does that mean?

    I sent an email to a govt. Agency and got one back saying I was a spambot. What does that mean?

    Simply put, a bot – which is short for robot – is an automated computer program that allows outside sources to control computers remotely without the users' knowledge. A botnet is a network of hundreds or thousands of computers infected with botnet malware that communicates covertly with a command-and-control (CnC) server run by a type of cybercriminal called a botmaster. Unbeknownst to the individual users, their computers are linked in a rogue network which the botmaster can utilize for a variety of nefarious purposes.

    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.
