Anyone getting message "cannot get mail" on iphone using yahoo?

Couple of days back when I tried to log into my yahoo.com mail account, I received a full screen message that yahoo.com thought my password was compromised and requested I supply a new one. I didn't look at the url to see if it was from yahoo.com or trustworthy (darn it!). I decided not to change my password and was allowed to go on to yahoo.com mail. Then later when I tried to check my yahoo.com email from my iphone4, I got this message that "cannot get mail" and my password must be incorrect. I went back to the yahoo.com mail on my Macbook and, after getting the same warning message as before, I did enter a new password. Then tried to get into yahoo email on the iphone4 and succeeded. The next day, I tried to get into yahoo email from the iphone4 and I got the darn "cannot get mail" message on the iphone4. I've tried deleting the yahoo mail account on the iphone4 and reinstalling it, but no luck. Still get same message! Anyone know what to do?

Thanks
So how can I fix my iPhone Yahoo email?

Cannot send mail from iPhone using Godaddy account/email

Was working perfectly until recently. Incoming mail still ok.
Now get error message when sending mail "Cannot Send Mail - The connection to the outgoing server "smtpout.secureserver.net" failed.
Have tried various fixes including using cwmx.com server, other ports and SSL on and off but no luck.
Have spoken to Godaddy support but they can't help as say must be local issue with iPhone.
Is GoDaddyGuy out there?

SizzyB and Joe,
I've read over your posts and see that you've both tried a few different troubleshooting steps with our support. The next step would be removing the whole email address from your iPhone and setting it back up. When you set up the email address, you should use the step by step walk through instructions available at http://help.godaddy.com/article/3423.
SizzyB, please note that cwmx.com is an AT&T specific server. Your UK provider might list a comparable SMTP server as a default or you might need to contact them to get their settings.
Joe, I would also like to note that you would specifically need to have our Unlimited email plan to utilize the IMAP service feature.
If either of you have further issues, please post the full details (including any errors messages you receive) and we'll continue to work on a solution.

Getting message cannot send mail check server setting

Trying to get email to send out, but getting a message saying cannot send...check outgoing server setting...
Anybody???

Do you have any other mail accounts on your iPad? If so you can select another server from the options.
Go to settings again and select Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select your mail account from the window on the right side. Then tap on the email address of the account to open the next window that shows the account information. Then there should be heading titled Outgoing Mail Server. You can tap the arrow to the right of the server name in that field to get to the next window that shows other servers. Try to select one from there and see if that works.
I keep forgetting about this as well. It has provided help to others.

Cannot send mail from Iphone using Verizon e-mail

I just switched from Comcast to Verizon as my internet provider, and although I can receive my Verizon e-mail on my Iphone, I can not send e-mail. I get an error "can not send mail"
"The sender address was invalid". I have checked all the settings, and they are correct. I was able to send e-mail with the Comcast Iphone mail app, but I am unable to do so with Verizon. Can someone who is a Verizon customer and has an Iphone please shed some light on this issue?

Verizon, like most ISPs, does not allow off-network use of it's SMTP servers (you would be able to send email when connected to your home Wi-Fi network, for example). When using 3G, you can use AT&T's SMTP server - go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > tap the account > SMTP > AT&T SMTP Server and toggle it to ON.

Trouble sending some e-mails with iPhone using Yahoo account

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help me with this problem. It seems that about 30% of the e-mails I compose directly from my iPhone never reach their destination. When I hit "send" they simply disappear from the screen with no record of them in yahoo's "sent" folder.
It is getting very frustrating, especially after I spend 15 minutes or so tapping out an e-mail letter by letter (I am slow).
Is anyone else having this problem? If so, how did you solve it??
I am a bit of a neophyte so if you could walk through a solution, I would be most appreciative.
Thank You!

This is a know issue with Yahoo! Email on the iPhone. When sending email, sometimes it will say it has been sent, while it really has not (and it will not show up in the sent folder).
It has been discussed quite a bit in the forums, so a search will turn up a lot of discussion, but no solid solution. Some say Yahoo is working on a fix, other that Apple is.
The most common solution (which is usually temporary), is to either reboot your phone, and/or delete and reinstall your Yahoo! Mail account on your phone.

HI, I just bought an iPhone 4S. Although my iPad and other iPhone 3GS connect to our server (SBS2003) I cannot get through. It checks all items in the connection and then I get the message :Cannot get mail, the connection to the server failed."

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

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!!

I keep getting a message "cannot send mail" a copy has been placed in your outbox. The recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying

I keep getting a message "cannot send mail" a copy has been placed in your outbox. The recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. How can I fix this error so I can send emails.

The issue definitely sounds like your Outgoing/SMTP settings need to be changed. Simply set them to the proper settings for your provider as was suggested above.
I found this link for Knology: http://support.knology.net/content/email.setup.cfm
The SMTP settings can be edited on the iPad/iPhone by going to Settings--> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, edit the account having trouble, click the Account, then at the bottom is the SMTP server info, click on it to edit it further.
It should allow you to edit the primary smtp server and let you enter all the good stuff as you see in the Knology link above.
Some providers require you to register your account on their service like AT&T.
