Cannot get icloud mail or BT mail on ipad7.1

Hello randers4 or anyone else who can help!
randers 4 - I hope you can help me as I have been advised by Demo that you are very knowledgeable about iCloud.
I have had a similar problem to mhurley16 although with more prior issues too. My iCloud email and BT Yahoo email accounts stopped working on my ipad when at home about 2 weeks ago but when I visited my local Apple Store and used friends/family wi fi, they both work fine and my BT email is also fine on my PC. I have spent many, many hours trying to fix this problem as I use my ipad to check emails every day and therefore find this whole issue very frustrating to say the least! I have deleted and then added both email accounts to no avail - still fine on other wi fis - and today I noticed that the password in my iCloud account is shorter than the new one I set up a few weeks ago. I therefore deleted and then added again my iCloud email using my new password and all details were verified successfully, but when I checked my iCloud details again, it is showing the shorter one again. I also logged in to My Apple ID account and used my new password successfully so cannot understand why my iCloud password is not using the same one as I thought they were automatically linked via My Apple ID. I am now left wondering why these passwords are not the same, and whether this issue is the root cause of the problem of "cannot get mail" on my ipad? If you can shed some light on these - or if anyone else reading this can help - I would be very grateful. Thank you!

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.

Cannot get iCloud mail to work even though I have an iCloud account already

I am trying to setup Mail and Notes on an iMac (i3) with OS X 10.8.2. When I go into Preferences > iCloud > check "Mail", I get a prompt for an email address. I enter my existing iCloud email account and click OK but it then asks me to click on "Create" to create the account so I do. It then comes back and says that email already exists and to pick a new one.
There is no option for using an already existing account so there is no way to setup mail.
When I try to go to Mail via the web based iCloud.com interface I am able to login with my iCloud account but when I click on Mail it tells me "iCloud Email Needed" and to create a new email by turning on Mail in the iCloud settings.
It appears Apple has really messed up on iCloud as they did on MobileMe as they did with Mac.com. That aside, how do I get access to my mail?

Here are the instructions to set up the mail manually, it's for Snow leopard but works in ML, try this.Once Mail is working you should be able to enable Notes.
I haven't tried this so here's hoping it works for you, read it first, follow all instructions as printed.

Does anyone know if iCloud is offline? I cannot get my mail to work this AM

Does anyone know if iCloud is offline? I cannot get my mail to work this AM

Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

Can't get iCloud mail on ios devices via wifi

Starting this afternoon, I can't get iCloud email on my wifi iPad. "Cannot get mail the connection to the server failed." Same thing on my iPhone. In order to get iCloud mail on my iPhone, I have to turn off wifi, and turn on Cellular Data.

Same problem on all my devices. No mail. haven’t received mail since this morning. All was working fine before. Deleted acct in mail preferences (lost all info and mailboxes) and still getting ‘The server returned the error: The server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” cannot be contacted on port 993″ also tried 143. Now I’ve lost all mailboxes and access to all iCloud mail data. ? Any ideas what’s up?

My iphone has lost connection to the server; I cannot get e-mails. What can I do to fix that?

I recently put on a PowerPoint presentation at DU, in Denver Colorado; signed on as DU guest to access Internet link. SInce then I haven't been able to get e-mail on my Iphone - Cannot Get Mail, Server Stopped Responding. I tried all previous suggestions, such as rebooting phone, updating software etc. I went to MacBook Pro and tried logging on to yahoo e-mail. Apparently there was a security risk to my e-mail account so Yahoo locked up my account. I reset my password, it was verified through text message, and Voila it worked. Don't forget you also have to change this on your Iphone: go into settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; click on your e-mail browser, then account and enter your new password, click done and it will verify on you phone as well. Hope this helps!!!

I discovered that my cord was bad. I used someone else's cord and then it worked - that's how I was able to determine it was the cord, so I replaced it. (In case someone else has a similar problem.)
BTW, I'm still having a problem syncing my iCal, so I posted that problem in the iCal forum. If you think you can help, please look for my message there.

HT1430 I cannot get yahoo mail. The message asked for password for yahoo many times.

In order to use Yahoo! Mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings » Safari » Private Browsing, and turn it off
I cannot get yahoo mail nor send email on iPad 3. I have OS 6 just upgraded. It keeps on asking for password. I think my yahoo email was also hacked to compound the problem. Please help.

I get this warning now To. Never saw it in last 5 years and 4 iPhones. Cannot get yahoo small biz email access anymore via iPhone on safari web login because of this same warning. Typically , either yahoo or apple screwed up and changed something that effects millions and think nothing of it. (battery gate in all the iPhone 4/4s comes to mind here)
As you can tell I "used" to be an apple fan but after this iPhone 4s dies (prematureally of course) I will be getting my first android phone and see flash and the rest of the hidden Internet that apple kept from myself the paying customer.

Cannot get my mail says i am not connected to server

I cannot get my mail. i think this is basic info I need something about server! Can anyone help me. I am not computer literate.

Your mail is housed on the mail server. The device attempts to update, and because you are not connected to the internet, you cannot access it. You need an active data connection to deal with mail.

Hello, Rileys128.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to receive mail on your iPad. Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue with your AOL account. I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

I cannot get my mail to reset my security questions

I cannot get my mail in order to reset my security questions

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
          phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

Have Mtn Lion on iMac, Snow Leo on MacBook - can't get iCloud mail.

My mail stopped working on Black Macbook since I upgraded my desktop iMac to Mountain Lion. Is there a work around to get mail without upgrading the laptop to Lion on Macbook? Mountain Lion will not install on the Macbook.

My mail started working. I went to mail prefs and tried to change the incoming mail server to "imap.mail.me.com" but it was grayed out. So I tried to set up new account. It told me that user name already had account - I saved changes anyway without adding incoming mail server imap.mail.me.com.
So then my macmail all started downloading - Not sure why. Could be because I used [email protected] instead of [email protected]
Tech support had just told me on the phone that there was no way snow leopard could get icloud mail. She said there was no alternative to upgrading to Lion OS 10.7.
