Can't receive emails on 2nd POP/SMTP account on iPad 2

My pop/smtp email account is the default account on my iPad and I added 2nd account for my wife.
I have created the account in settings and all appears to be fine, I compared all the settings to my working account and they are identical.
I can see the account in Mail, I have them titled as "Rich's email" and Caroline's email" and I can send from the account it just won't receive any emails, it checks for mail for quite sometime then I eventally get a message that says "Cannot Gel Mail, the server is not responding verify you have entered the correct account info in mail settings" Which I have done several times and I know it's correct.
I'm completely baffled any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello Holgerfragtnach,
It sounds like your Mail application can send emails but cannot get any new emails that come to your address. I recommend these steps from the article named:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4002
If you can't receive mail in OS X Mail
Locate the name of your iCloud account on the left side of the main Mail window. If your iCloud account name is dimmed and has a lightning-bolt symbol next to it, your account is offline. To bring your account online, make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet, then choose Mailbox > Take All Accounts Online. If that doesn't resolve the issue, follow these steps:
Choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
Click Accounts in the Preferences window.
Select your iCloud account from the list of accounts.
Click the Advanced tab and verify these settings:
Port: 993
Use SSL: (selected)
Authentication: either "Password" or "Apple Token"
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

    Eversince installed Mountain Lion, i can't receive emails from my Microsoft Exchange account!!
    Why is this so? I don't have this problem prior to installing the Mountain Lion OS X

    Have you tried 10.8.1?  It includes fixes in this area.  Usually the problem is if Active Directory is returning incorrect Exchange information in response to an Autodiscover request.  In 10.8.1 you can manually edit this information.

  • Can't receive emails on my company's account with Yosemite

    I have a Macbook Air late 2012 with 8GB memory. I recently installed Yosemite (which I already tested on beta version last summer) and the problem is the same I had with the beta version: cannot receive emails from my company's account. The server requires pwd authentication and the default on Yosemite is NTLM. When I change to Password in the advanced preferences and save it, after few minutes is NTLM again (in the meantime I don't receive emails anyway). No problem sending emails, no problem with my other accounts and no problem even with my company's account using Mavericks, which I now reinstalled. I tried to delete and recreate the account on Yosemite, no way. Does anybody have a fix?

  • Can send but can't receive email through ATT POP account

    My ISP is ATT. Email is through a POP account. I've verified all the settings through the ATT support page and been on the phone with an ATT Mac (dubious) tech. I'm able to send but not receive email. I get no errors when I check mail. It just appears that there's nothing new. I am able to receive through web mail. I deleted my cache as suggested by another user. Any thoughts? Thanks very much.

    Hi QCKaren, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Feel free to start a new topic to attract more helpers to your particular situation, here's a link if as is often the case, it's hard to find out where to do it...
    http://discussions.apple.com/post!default.jspa?forumID=753
    ISP tells me I will lose messages in all mailboxes - but does this mean all mailboxes that are stored "locally on my macintosh" or just the mail in the inbox, sent and trash associated with that account?
    Yes, if it's a POP account all will be lost.
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.

    Thanks!!!!

    Hi Zap...
    I totally deleted this mail account and gave up and let the problem sit a week, and last night I was bored on the couch and decided to give it a go and believe i found the problem, at least on my end, and am wondering if it is yours as well...
    In your POP account, go into it and check what the authentication settings (push the advanced button on the account's settings in settings) set it to whatever it needs to be on your end (on my end it is 'Password')...then go into the actual mail program and try receiving something...then I want you to go back into the mail account's settings again and check the authentication again - has it changed from what you set it as?

    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.

  • Can't receive email .MAC, IMAP or POP

    My receive email stopped working, all of a sudden. I have checked all the setup parameters, and they are right. I even tried to create duplicate accounts, one for .MAC, one for IMAP, and one for POP. They all fail to receive email from my @mac.com email account. Web mail works fine, and I can send email to myself from my mac.com email, or my sbcglobal.net email, but it only shows up in web mail not in the mail client.
    Befuddled

    "What does "stopped working" mean? "
    Thank you for the reply, stopped working means tht I can't receive email. Turns out, that this morning, after 24 hours, it started working agiain. I tried everything yesterday to receive email, and nothing would work, including deleting the account on the client and reentering it. Today, I tried entering it again, and wonderful of wonderfuls, it works fine. My only guess, is tht whatever server my mail is on, wouldn't connect.
    Oh, well, thanks,
    Tom

  • Can not receive emails from third party email accounts

    Recently I started working for a small business which has small business server 2011 and exchange 2010 installed. Before I started there were eight user accounts and they all have unlimited email access. I created a few users through sbs AD and also from
    exchange console a week ago. Unfortunately none of them can not receive emails from third party accounts. they all can receive internal emails and also can send mails to any email accounts internally and externally. 
    This is a night mare for me as new users are having trouble with communicating via mails. I have tried all the methods and now thought of posting this issue on tech net. Please help me on this!!
    Thanks a lot!!

    Checklist for testing inbound email problems, I am assuming outbound emails works ok.
    1. Check Port 25 forwarding on all modems routers/firewalls
    2. MX Record is created and pointing to the correct Public IP Address, use MXToolbox.com to verify MX Record and test SMTP flow. Also Verify your public IP has not changed, use whatsmyip.org to check you public IP
    3. If using POP Connector Service, make sure POP accounts are created properly
    4. If using a 3rd party spam host, make sure they forward email to correct public IP address, use step 2 to verify your public IP.

  • Can't receive email when I'm in an LINUX network

    Hi
    I'm not the best in Network questions.
    Just working for a company at the moment who has a linux server. I can go on their network and get conected to their data server via ip adress with mac osx and even with parallels. I can also go on the internet with safari and skype is working as well.
    the only problem is that mail can't receive emails and msn isn't working as well.
    does anyone know which settings I have to change to get into that network.
    and is mail able to use the microsoft exchange server from that company?
    thanks

    I'm pretty sure their firewall is blocking the ports for POP3 and SMTP or they simply substituted the ports with others. Many companies with an own mail server block the ports and you're stating they have an Exchange server. So there's no way to get your mails unless they open the ports OR they tell you the substitute ports. As for your 2nd question: Yes, Mail is able to use it, just ask their admin for server name and login details. If there are problems the Exchange server may need to be configured to use the IMAP protocol.

  • Can't send emails via my pop account.

    My iPhone can receive emails from my pop account but not send them. It can send and receive gmail fine. Have checked the smpte and pop info. Wifi is working OK.

    Many ISP mail servers are restricted and will not permit mail to be sent that originates from outside their network (which the cellular data network is).
    Check with the mail provider to see if you need to use a different SMTP server when using a mobile device.

    Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)?  That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both?  Or more?
    I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
    Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details.  The BT email client set-up starts here.
