Are you able to load your Gmail account in Safari?
This Google article might help you out -> Setting up Google Sync with your iOS device
If you don't want to use Google Sync (If you're not sure, I'd recommend using Sync), you may want to check this doc out -> Gmail iOS App

Maybe the mail server is down.

IPhone Mail App cannot connect with gmail iMap server

So my gmail address list or contacts seems to have been hacked and all my contacts who are still talking to me have told me so.
So I changed my gmail password.
No more complaints, and probably no more friends as contacts.
But seriously, I have been able to get gmail (web) working with my new double authentication password(s). Also, my outlook for MAC is working using the special "generated App Password". (because Outlook cannot do the double authentication thingie)
Ditto for the gmail app from google on my iPhone. (it works too)
BUT
I cannot get the iPhone Mail App to connect to Gmail.
I have deleted (i thought) my existing gmail setup from my iPhone. When I try to re establish the gmail settings, using either the password generated by the MAC / iCloud keychain generator or the App password, I get the message "My Name" is already added.
It looks to me that there is something in the iPhone that matches my gmail address, even though I deleted the account.
Any suggestions before I call Apple for help?
Thanks
Barry

I think so.
Actually I think I need to get the App Password for Mail on my phone. It generates the app password and I enter it into the password in the gmail setup for mail.
The problem is that when I hit next on that page, I get the message:
"my name" is already added" and I cannot proceed.
Before doing this setup I deleted my gmail account by tapping the email address and hitting delete in the Mail, Contact and Calendars setup..
but, there is something hiding in my iPhone that remembers my old gmail password (I guess) and doesn't let me proceed.
If I enter my gmail iChain password I get the same thing.
If i do this in airplane mode (no connection to google) i also get the same.
I talked to an apple care person who had me reset all my settings... still the same thing.
I am trying to avoid a gull reset of the iPhone, but that may be in the cards.
Going to go to the apple store and ask there, but i am not hopeful.

HT4528 I loaded the iphone update and now my gmail does not sync. I get a message that imap cannot connect. All my setting are the same and correct. Thoughts.

After loading the iphone update, I get a message that imap.gmail.com is not resopnding. All my setting are the same and are correct. My gmail works on my ipad. Thoughts.

Same thing happened to me. Called Verizon, they had me run updates and resync to the local tower (*228, option2). Took about 15 minutes over the phone to correct.

Playbook 2.0 cannot connect to Gmail

Well RIM BlackBerry Playbook 2.0 is here and it's dissapointing to learn that it is just as big a pile of %Y%# as 1.X.
Cannot set up Gmail through any of numerous different ways. (Gmail, IMAP, Exchange... you name it.) All different ways generate all different kinds of errors such as cannot connect at this or username and password is wrong.
It's really great to see we waited 8 months for nothing.
Anyone have any helpful ideas?

For your username, did you enter the full name including "@gmail.com"
Do you have gMail 2-step verification turned on? If so, you need to use an application-specifc password instead of your normal password if using a mail app: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

I have trouble with sending e-mail and syncing e-mail. Try changing to 1 day sync under settings. It's sluggish but it works for me until they resolve the issue. MS claims all is normal. If you still have a problem you should report it here: https://status.live.com/report/hotmail

When trying to connect to google+, I get a message that I need a new version of Firefox. I have the newest version (6). I can get gmail, but cannot connect to google+. Please help

I cannot connect to my new google+ account using Firefox 6. When I try to access google+ I get a message that I need to update Firefox, which I have done twice. I can access gmail and everything else that google has to offer - I think. Please help.
Thank you

Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies
Deselect any checked boxes on the left then click OK.
If none of those boxes were selected, it might be a Safari extension causing the proxy dialog.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Mail 5.0 cannot connect to imap with SSL. Broke when 10.7 lion was installed.

Install 10.7, IMAP mail is broken. Rejecting credentials. Credentials verified through browser access. So broken, and error message states reason not based in fact. Mail server SSL is required, cannot turn it off. Worked fine in right before lion install, when still running 10.6.8.

Hi, this has worked for a few...
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...

System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.

System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
For 10.5/10.6/10.7, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...

Gmail cannot connect

For some reason, when I'm connected via wireless (NOT WIFI), Gmail cannot connect. It keeps saying "bad user name or password". When I turn WIFI on and connect via that, Gmail / Mail has no problem logging in.
Is there a problem with Verizon's network (gee, who would guess that would happen...)

I am also having problems on my laptop. I can connect to any website accept for gmail. I always have it pinned in my tabs so I can see what it displayed last but it won't refresh or reconnect. The weird thing is I can access it from my Verizon phone. So why wouldn't I be able to connect using my Verizon wireless DSL? Have you had any epiphanies since you first posted this?

I get the message imap cannot connect to mail server

I cannot access my email account this problem started 2 days ago I keep getting the message imap cannot connect to server

Close the mail app completely and reboot your iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail icon. Tap the home button. Tap it again.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

New gmail account on iPhone cannot connect using SSL

Hi,
I was having problems accessing the gmail server on my iphone so i deleted the account settings on the iphone and am creating a new one. However, the iphone tells me that it cannot connect using SSL. Has anyone had a similar problem? I don't want to setup the account without this basic security.

Hey milos321,
I'm not sure what caused the issue. I believe account may have been automatically locked because abnormal activity.

Cannot use Outlook2010 to connect to Gmail with Verizon ISP

I have a laptop that works just fine using Outlook2010 to connect to my Gmail POP3 account from multiple locations except my home where Verizon is my ISP. I read several threads that Verizon blocks certain ports. However, I use a SSL connection with incoming port 995 and outgoing port 465. Neither of these was mentioned in the threads as being blocked.
Called Verizon tech support, which was hopeless. The tech claims they only help with Verizon email. He sent me to the Verizon premium service, which just wanted to sign me up for a monthly support contract. The "tech" claims Verizon does not block any ports and that the problem is on my end.
I am ready to drop Verizon as my ISP. Any ideas how to fix this?

Welcome to the forums. This is a place where customers help each other. If you want a response from Verizon, you'll need to contact them using the options provided by the "contact us" link at the bottom of these pages.
I've never heard of Verizon blocking any ports except maybe outbound SMTP to non-Verizon servers on un-protected port 25.
I uses gmail's IMAP server over FiOS without any problems. I'm using Thuderbird with port 993 (SSL/TLS) for IMAP and 465 (SSL/TLS) for SMTP.
Are you using Windows? It can be setup to have different security and firewall settings for different connections. That might be an issue. While unlikely, you could have an odd setting in your router. And of course, it could be a Outlook configuration issue.
If you post more details, some of us here might be able to offer more specific suggestions.
Good Luck

Cannot connect to virginmedia imap

I can connect to my email provider using the webmail interface, but the mail app is saying it can't connect. The connection doctor says the SMPT connection is good but the IMAP connection bad. If I enter my details in the Internet Accounts section for Virginmedia it returns a message saying unable to verify username or password.
If it can't connect, how come I can access mails via the webmail interface? Does that only need the SMPT connection?
It was working fine yesterday and I haven't changed anything.

The server should be imap.gmail.com, try that.
