Can't connect to mail

When I set up my iphone in itunes, it automatically set up my AOL mail accounts. But when I click on mail, it tells me "the mail server AOL is not responding." Anyone know what I should type in the set up screen that will fix the situation? Thanks!

Make sure your old phone is powered off. I'd been having the same problem and tried absolutely everything. Then I noticed my old phone was on. When I turned it off, I suddenly began receiving mail.

IOS 4 : removing the "can't connect to mail server" messages

Ok, since the new Mail in iOS 4 have a "global inbox", everytime i open the app without being connected on the internet, it send me 5 "can't connect to mail server" message. So i have to click "OK" five times before being able to use the app. It does that even when WiFi is set to off.
Am i the only one ? Is there a setting for that ? Do I have to wait for iOS 4.1 ? Does god really exist ?

Your email provider has servers. There are no Thunderbird servers. Thunderbird is email client software that runs on your computer.
Contact your email provider about server issues.

CF Can't Connect To Mail Server

I have been running CF 8 since release and generally no
problems. Now, it can't connect to our mail server and there
appears to be no reason. Here's the setup: We have CF 8 Standard on
Win 2003 server. The same box runs SmarterMail 4.3.
When I try to verify connection settings in CF Administrator,
it fails, using all of the same settings that worked 2 hours ago.
I've tried restarting the CF service and that didn't help.
Any ideas are much appreciated!

> it fails, using
> all of the same settings that worked 2 hours ago.
Something has changed in your config.
It might not have been you who changed it, so ask around.
THis sort of thing doesn't just "stop working", without
intervention of
some description.
Have you checked your SMTP server is responsive?
Have you given the system a reboot (it is Windows after all,
so this is
almost the first troubleshooting step).
Is you mail server set to relay email for the CF server? (NB:
do NOT set
an OPEN relay. That would be bad).
Have your relay settings, or login creds changed?
Has anyone been fiddling with your firewall or port filters
or anything?
Have you asked your mail admin what they've been doing?
There's really a lot of things you could investigate and
report back on, I
think.

Can't connect to mail outside of the company

Hi!
I have a company email adress which i can easily configure in Windows, Android, iPhone, iPad you name it!
Except when i configure it on my mac with the Mail app it only connects to the Mail server when i'm using the company's wireless network (same where the physical server is). When i use my broadband connection i simply can't receive email as the Mail app keeps asking for my password...
I can't connect fine using my iPhone and iPad so i have the right configurations (i double tripple checked!!!).
I can access to the web interface (it's an Exchange server) and the adress for the web interface is the same i have to configure in the Mail app settings.
I ran out of ideas.
Anyone has a clue what i might be missing?

I believe it's the second guess but, as they have blocked it, I'm not sure how much it matters which.

All the sudden can't connect to mail server

This morning I stopped receiving email. Mail says it can't connect and that the connection timed out. I use IMAP with SSL (port 993). I don't know of anything I could have changed on the MacBook to cause this. As well, my iPhone can't connect either (same settings as Mail). It gave a connection error once and since then doesn't give errors but never pulls in new mail. I can ping the mail server and telnet in via port 993. I'm not sure what else to look at. Mail settings haven't changed that I can see. Hosting provider says there aren't any issues on their end. Any suggestions?

Do you have Mail properly configured for their servers? I know you said you use SSL, but does the ISP use it, and if they do are you using their default port? Verify your server setup by opening Mail preferences, select Accounts, click on Account Information tab. From the server drop down menu select Edit. Check that your server is correctly configured and the right security option selected. If you have multiple server entires delete all but the one you use for your mail account.
You can also try removing the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file in case it's become corrupted.
It also can't hurt to do the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Can't connect to mail server - DNS Server settings?

Hello:
Let me preface this question by saying that computer networking is not my strong suit.
Last week I moved our web hosting from our ISP to Lunarpages; our domain is marshall-arts.net. I set up some POP email accounts on our new mail servers and was able to successfully send and receive email wirelessly using our G4 ibook. However, none of our networked desktop systems could connect to our new mail server, although they could connect to our ISP's mail server; they also have no problem connecting to the web. The mail server and user names were identical between the desktop systems and the ibook. But upon closer examination of the TCP/IP settings of the ibook I found that the ibook had 209.253.113.10 entered into the DNS Servers (optional) field. That field was blank in the desktop systems. Once I entered that address into the DNS Servers field on the desktop systems they had no problem connecting to our Lunarpages mail servers.
Here's our setup, as best as I can describe it:
We have an AirPort Extreme connected to our DSL router. It's connected via ethernet, configured manually with a static IP, router and DNS server addresses provided by our ISP. It's set to distribute IP addresses with the AirPort client computers sharing a single IP address using DHCP and NAT (10.0.1.1. addressing). It's connected via ethernet to a Linksys gigabit ethernet switch to which we have connected three desktop Macs running OS 10.3.x and 10.4.x.
The TCP/IP of the three desktop systems and the ibook are configured Using DHCP.
As I wrote above, only the ibook had an address entered into the DNS Servers field, 209.253.113.10. This doesn't correspond to anything our ISP provided (those addresses are entered in the AirPort Extreme.) I have no idea where it came from.
So I have two questions:
Would that address have been generated automatically while setting up the AirPort connection on the ibook?
Why would that supposedly optional DNS Server address be required for me to connect to our new mail servers (but not our old ISP mail servers)?
Thank you.

Try a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the ipad to boot back up.

Can't connect because mail server doesn't support A-POP

A strange little bug is happening with me. Every time I reboot my mac and startup mail, one of my POP accounts fails to connect giving the warning message that my mail server doesn't support A-POP.
After quitting and restarting mail about 5 times it finally kicks in and connects up.
Anyone else had sim issues?

Can't connect to mail server...

Dunno if the two issues are related... downloaded and installed Thunderbird two days ago... set it up as newsreader and mail client without issue. Trying to set up Mail as mail client and it keeps telling me that some other client has the account locked out. This is when Thunderbird isn't running...
All assistance greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Lang

I wish to thank all for the replies, but it hasn't had done the trick. I've had success in one way however -
We "logged off" from what she normally uses as a user profile, and logged on to an old user profile created many moons ago by an Apple specialist in troubleshooting a problem when she first got the computer. This old profile ("test") was used then and never deleted, so it doesn't have whatever software update (I suspect a security thingee from Apple) that has sabotaged her normal version of Mail.
I don't want to have her chasing around in different profiles to look for her mail, so I'd like to repair whatever Software glitch took down her main copy of Mail. Again I suspect something is blocking Mail from downloading mail from the server to Mail (the program on her iMac)
I don't know boo about Apple OS's since I could never afford one and have been a tormented Windooze user. So, while I could breeze through this if it was one of my MS junkboxes, I fear to try to solve this on her iMac. If 10.4 was out, I'd simply save her files, format the HD and load the new OS, but I understand I have to wait until Fall, yes?
Any tips on how to uninstall the Security Update or any ideas on how to root out the offending program? We have no Anti-virus on this iMac, as I stopped paying for Norton updates about 2 years ago after she has never, ever had a hit (unlike me running MS junk where the AV is essential)
Many thanks in advance...

Can't Connect the Mail app to my Gmail Account

Hey everyone,
Recently my gmai account stopped working with the Mail app on my 13" Macbook Pro Retina, running mountain lion. I have deleted the mail account and readded it, but it keeps saying the server isn't responding. This is becoming quite a problem as it is important that I reply to my emails as soon as possible, and without push notification on my mac it's proving difficult.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks,
J

...never mind...the problem somehow fixed itself...

ITunes Can't Connect to Music Store or Update Server

Hi.
Something is wrong with my internet settings and I don't know what it is. Certain programs are having trouble connecting to external sites, for example:

-Software Update can't connect to update server
-Gmail Notifier can't connect to mail server
I just got a new iPhone and can't configure the bloody thing - can someone please help me out?

Does any other PC/Mac experience this same issue?
If not then we at least know the issue is isolated to 1 machine having a particular issue.
But if it happens on Iphone and other machines then yes there is a network issue.
One simple thing you could do. Connect your PC directly into the cable modem see if services come back. If they do then something within the router is not working correctly.
At which point consult your router manufacture. Or even power cycle router for 5 min aka disconnect power, reconnect, reconnect to modem. And test connections again.

Can not connect with Gmail.

I can not connect my mail.app with gmail.
smtp connection is fine.
but i can't connect pop.
I look through discussions and it looks randomaly happening.
however, can anyone help me out?
I'm keep getting this message "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "Gmail" or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "pop.gmail.com" on port 995 timed out."
Thanks.

You can't connect at all, or you have been able to connect and it randomly drops??
I've been using Mail to check my Gmail accounts for a while now, and sometimes it will be delayed, but I've never had a long term probelm with it.

MS OutlookExpress: Can't connect to POP or IMAP

Hi,
I successfully configured Convergence and login with specified user with full functionality (send, receive).
Problem is that I can't connect to mail server using MS OutlookExpress (POP or IMAP).
Answers are:
POP3: Unable to logon to the server using Secure Password Authentication. Account: 'mail.observer.rs', Server: 'mail.observer.rs', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC18
IMAP: Not authorized to log in as specified user
Configuration:
Account: mail.observer.rs (1)
Server: mail.observer.rs
User name: mihailo.milosavljevic
Protocol: IMAP
Port: 143
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 800cccd1
Telnet tests on these ports are successful also.
I think that problem might by on storing passwords (PLAIN or crypt.) but I can't resolve it.
