'cannot get mail' error message

Getting 'cannot get mail' error message for my hotmail on iphone and ipad, tried resetting account and passwords, not helping...any ideas??

My email started working -- on its own -- at 7 PM. That means that from 4 AM until 7 PM, I received no email.
However, I knew I missed some messages.  It's now the NEXT MORNING and those missed messages still have NOT arrived.  I has hoping they were in a queue or something and would still be arriving.
This is HORRIBLE.  Gosh only knows what I missed beyond the few that a couple friends told me about.
If this happens one more time, I'll leave icloud.com's email.  This is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.  In all the years of having had MobileMe prior to iCloud email, nothing like this ever happened.
SHAME ON APPLE.

  • Yahoo Mail - Unable to delete and Cannot Get Mail errors

    A few days ago my Yahoo mail started acting up.
    I keep on getting "Unable to move message" errors when trying to delete mail. The proper folder is selected as the trash folder under settings. Sometimes message do delete however, but mostly they do not.
    I am also getting periodic Cannot Get Mail errors, but mostly I am able to receive mail.
    This leads me to believe that this might be a yahoo issue (I opened a support request with them also) I have deleted the account from my iPhone and recreated it several times, but the problem persist.
    Anybody else having similar issues with Yahoo mail ?
    Thanks
    PS I have Yahoo Mail Plus with POP access

    I opened a ticket with Yahoo, a day later they came back and advised that they made some changes to my account, but it still does not work.
    There is something strange about how Apple and Yahoo communicates, I think there is some exchange in the middle that is causing the problems. The reason for me saying this is the error I got periodically stating that "Cannot Get Mail, The user name or password for imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect". Why imap.APPLE.mail.yahoo.com ???
    I did however setup a "Other" mail type account using the POP and SMTP settings from Yahoo and it works like a charm now, no more problems and I can now even use a different reply to e-mail address. Only issue might be that you no longer have the Yahoo side custom mail folders on the iPhone, but this is no big deal for me.
    For the incoming server I used pop.mail.yahoo.com with my Yahoo username and password (username without @yahoo.com)
    For outgoing, SMTP, Hostname I used smtp.mail.yahoo.com with my Yahoo username and password (username without @yahoo.com), SSL = ON, authentication = Password and server port 465
    Under advanced settings for outgoing mail server, Use SSL = ON , authentication = Password and server port 995.
    I am not claiming that I understand all of the above, but it works. Hopefully this may point you in the right direction.

  • Cannot get mail error: please help! :/

    Everytime I click on my mail app on my iphone 4, I get the "cannot get mail, connection to the server failed". I have deleted the account before and it fixes it temporarily only to happen again in the future. What is going on?

    Start with these two support articles. Try everything in both. If you still have no success, post back and try to be very specific about steps that you worked through, what happened, etc.

  • Cannot Send Mail error message

    Hey guys,
    Having a few email issues. When I'm at home, using wifi, it receives and sends perfectly. However, when out of range, and using my telco's 3g etc connection, it receives messages fine, however when I'm sending the messages stay in outbox with a Cannot Send Mail - One of the recipent addresses was invalid message. The address is fine, and i've tried it with multiple addresses with the same messsage. Interesting, mail send with @"my isp" seem to work.
    I've got the settings set up with my ISPs outgoing server, and also my Telco's SMTP server too - which I can't change any of the settings in anyway....
    Any clues??

    The first thing that jumps to mind is that while you're away from your ISP's connection, sometimes they require a different port to be used when sending. This isn't the case all the time but again, it's the first thing that came to mind.
    Many ISP's require you to be connected directly to them when sending mail from their account. It's really a security measure on their end but most do offer an alternate port that you can change to which will allow you to send when out and about via 3G or another wifi connection, etc.
    It's something to look into. I would contact them or look online for their advanced settings.

  • TS3899 "cannot get mail" in iphone5 suddenly. been using iphone to check 2 email accounts for months now, one is gmail and not troubled. the other is thunderbird and i get this error message now. no settings have been changed or anything! ideas?

    hey all, I have been getting the "cannot get mail" error message on my iphone5 suddenly.
    ive been using iphone to check two email accounts for months now, one is gmail and not troubled. the other is mail from thunderbird and i get this error message now saying it is not responding. no settings have been changed or anything, it just suddenly stopped receiving mail on my device as of Tuesday afternoon.
    Does anyone have iny ideas about why? i have yet to update to the new OS7 yet, could that be it?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • HT2480 Ipad mini - exchange email stopped working randomly  Error: "Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed."

    I got an iPad mini over Christmas and have had no issues setting up/managing my email until yesterday. I've had my Exchange email working for almost a month, and yesterday I stopped getting emails and getting the error: "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed."
    I tried resetting the device (multiple times) and deleting and recreating the Exchange account (multiple times). This is getting annoying because it worked fine up until yesterday. I'm not aware of any updates to the device, or any changes that have occurred since yesterday.

    Due to a screen issue, I had my iPhone 5 replaced two days ago. I repeated deleted the mail account and kept adding it but this did not make any difference. When I attempted to setup the new phone with my Google (Gmail via exchange active sync) accounts I was receiving this same "Cannot Get Mail" error. From what I was able to gather, this problem should be affecting Gmail accounts set up via Exchange. When originally purchasing the phone I was assisted and directed to set up my Gmail account through Exchange because it had the ability to use "ActiveSync" and push not only mail and calendars, but all of my contacts as well. I found this article regarding the subject.
    http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2413283,00.asp
    What it came down to was having to delete my Gmail via Exchange account and separate it into two different accounts, a regular gmail account for my mail and a CardDAV account for my contacts.
    Here is what I did. Google is changing their system and for new registrars Exchange ActiveSync will not work so you will be unable to register your account via Exchange and have your mail, calenders, and contacts all pushed together. I find this change really annoying. If you are having problems accessing your contacts after deleting the mail account, like I was, here is the work around.
    To circumvent this issue go to Setting > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CardDAV Account: Under server ender google.com, then your email user name and password, then click next to verify the information.
    I hope this helps.

  • Exchange 2003 SP2: 'Cannot get mail' - another one...

    Background info:
    I am running a budget exchange system, much like other small businesses out there. I have a self signed cert from an internal CA that i have installed on the exchange server and installed on the iphone. I dont get any cert errors when I log into OWA or OMA with SSL from safari on the phone so it would seem the cert is installed properly.
    The only thing that likely differs from my environment is that we have a dynamic IP and use a pop3 connector to download pop3 email into the respective recipients mailboxes from a cheap pop provider and hence we dont own our own domain, instead we use dyndns.org to to update dns records (which works flawless/seemlessly)for us when our dynamic IP changes. So our email addresses are [email protected] while our owa/oma address is a totally different domain - comapnyname.domain2.com. I cant image that this would matter but I figured I would put it all out there anyway.
    I have run this test numerous times:
    https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/
    and my server passes with flying frigging colors, I just have to enable the ignore trusts option as our cert is signed by an internal CA (like I said, budget).
    So, WM devices, entorage, and outlook with rpc over https all work flawlessly. But this FRIGGING iphone wont. I get through the exchange configuration just fine using various settings. I have tried it with and without the domain option, and I have tried entering the username with and without the DOMAIN\username.
    Every possible combination goes through fine, in the setup. Then I end up with the same result. After the setup finishes, I go to the inbox for the exchange account and it says up-to-date with no items. no contacts or calendar items download either. After a while, if i go back into the same inbox I get the "Cannot get mail" error.
    I have been googling this for days and I have yet to find a solution. Not to mention I, myself, am an MCSE w/ messaging and I have yet to come up with a solution on my own. My server works fine, nothing wrong there - it works with every device but this iphone. The only solution I have seen so far is to pay 175 bucks to one of these iphone messaging specialists to have them fix it, which isnt happening. Any advice you guys may have would be great... thanks.

    I have used my iPhone with 2003 SP2 and self signed certs. I am trying to understand more about your domain names - you say you don't own your domain, but then you say you are using Dyndns.
    I want to assume that you do own the domain name, just not a static IP to go with it. If the IP changes frequently, push will not work very well.
    If you are using a self-signed cert then you MUST import the root cert that did the signing. This a the public part - not the private key. If OWA and Exchange are different domains then they have different root certs.
    If you can hit the Exchange server domain via IE, you can view certs, then save the root. Then email the root to the phone (using gmail or some pop3 account) and import it. That will fix any cert issues.
    I mention this, as you don't mention anywhere that you have imported the signing certs root.

    Thank you justin.
    Sorry my earlier post was a bit ambiguous.
    I wanted the error generated at proc1 to be captured at caller proc's Exception handling section (line 64) so that i could log the error to an ERR_LOG table.
    I can actually log this error at proc1 itself like
    exception
    when others
    THEN
    error_message :='My custom message for the particular proc '||SQLERRM;
    dbms_output.put_line(error_message);
    logerror(error_message); --an autonomous error logging proc
    raise;But there is a RAISE statement in proc1's exception handling, so the exception gets propogated to caller proc's exception handling section {color:#ff0000}*and another redundant row will be created at ERR_LOG table for the same error because there is a*{color}
    logerror(error_message);--an autonomous error logging proc
    in the WHEN OTHERS section of exception handling section of the caller proc
    I want to avoid the creation of this redundant row in ERR_LOG table.

  • Ios 6 update "Cannot get mail" issue

    'I updated to ios 6 on my iphone 4 and now i cannot receive yahoo mail on my phone. I get a " cannot get mail" error. How do I fix this?

    I did fix this issue by restoring the iOS on my iPhone 5.
    First I made sure I backed up my iPhone, I used the iCloud.
    I used iTunes to restore my iPhone by following these steps.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    After I restored the iOS I actually had to reset the iPhone again to restore from the iCloud because the first time it did not ask to restore from iCloud, so I went to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.  Then I was able to restore from my iCloud back up.
    Since I did this I have not had any problems switching between 3G and WiFi.
    I hope this works for you.  Good luck and make sure to back up!

  • Updated to iOS 5. Annoying mail error messages

    I'm getting the "Cannot Get Mail" error since updating to iOS 5. However, the emails do seem to be coming through. The error pops up 2-3 times whenever I check email, once per account I have set up, i assume. Anyone else having this problem?

    It appears to be the Exchange server account only. Did something change from iOS 4 to 5 that disabled Exchange mail accounts?

    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.

    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar and delete your email account.
    Then tap Settings > Safari > and Tap Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
    Now tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar and re-enter your email account credentials.

    It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
    While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
