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 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.

  • 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.

  • I tried to install ios7 last night and the screen is now on itunes with the usb symbols  Plugged the ipod into the laptop where itunes is stored.  Tried to restore only to be advised that a 3194 error has occured  cannot get any further please help!!

    Hi  I tried to install ios7 last night and the ipod touch now has a frozen screen with the itunes logo and the usb logo  I plugged the ipod into my laptop and tried to restore only to be met with the message 3194 error  cannot restore this ipod  please help thanks

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • Cannot Find Symbol Error, please help.

    I am brand new to Java, so sorry if this question is obvious, but I keep receiving the following error when i try and compile the following code Circle.java
    Circle.java:17: cannot find symbol
    symbol : constructor Point()
    location: class pointClass.Point
    ^
    Circle.java:18: cannot find symbol
    symbol : method Point(double,double)
    location: class pointClass.Point
    super.Point(x,y); //set center to (x,y)
    ^
    2 errors
    I cant seem to figure out why I am getting this error, any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    This is the code for Circle.java:
    package circleClass;
    import pointClass.*;
    public class Circle extends Point
    private double radius; //Add a double radius field.
    public Circle()
    super(0,0); //call Point?s constructor initializing center to (0,0)
    radius = 0.0; //set radius to 0.0
    public Circle(double x, double y, double r)
    super.Point(x,y); //set center to (x,y)
    radius = r; //set radius to r
    public double r()
    return radius; //returns radius.
    public double getArea()
    return Math.PI*(radius*radius); //returns area of Circle object
    public double getCircumference()
    return 2*Math.PI*radius; //returns circumference of Circle object
    public String toString()
    return "center: ("+x+","+y+")"+"\nradius: "+r; //returns String that will give
    //output of the format...
    //center: (x,y)
    //radius: r
    If it helps, this is the code for pointClass:
    package pointClass;
    public class Point
    private double xcoor,ycoor;
    public static final Point ORIGIN = new Point();
    private Point()
    xcoor = 0;
    ycoor = 0;
    public Point(double x, double y)
    xcoor = x;
    ycoor = y;
    public double x()
    return xcoor;
    public double y()
    return ycoor;
    public String toString()
    return "(" + xcoor + "," + ycoor + ")";
    public static double distance(Point p, Point q)
    double dx = q.xcoor - p.xcoor;
    double dy = q.ycoor - p.ycoor;
    return Math.sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy);
    Thanks for your help.

    {color:#000080}Both of your classes need to be in the same package, not each one in a package of its own. You have imported pointClass.Pont in Circle.java, but I don't think that's what you want to do. For a better understanding of packages, read{color}
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/package/index.html
    And post code like this:

    that one is typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)

  • No matter what I get an Error PLEASE HELP

    Ok I have and iPhone 4 I am trying to fix and have literally tried everything and no matter what I have tried nothing seems to work. Please help I will list thing's I've done. My iPhone is in Loop mode only when I plug it in to wall or computer or else does nothing but battery is working perfect. Got unplugged while updating now this.
    -Deleted Host file apple lines, changed file lines, downloaded new host.
    -Ran iReb, Tiny Umbrella, Snowbreeze, Redsnow
    -Restarted my computer, deleted all Windows security forms that I can think of
    -Checked to make sure everything was up to date
    -Shift clicked Restore and tried restoring to 5.1.1 and then tried again with TSS server running
    I have tried all these steps and no matter what I get an error. I am running windows 8 but have also tried on windows 7 my iTunes reconizes the phone and the phone goes into DFU mode and Pwned DFU mode it starts and says "Preparing to restore iphone, Checking with apple about restore and the I get an error.

    1. DISABLE ALL security software (firewall, antivirus, etc.) running on your PC while updating.
    2. This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • Cannot Send Mail - Error, Need help!

    Initialy I was getting an error message about "Authentication" but when I took User Name and Password for SMTP, that error disappered, but now I'm getting the above message.
    Did anyone figure out the trick to get around this and send e-mails out?

    AlexMaeda,
    This article has more information:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305634
    As for an email provider allowing customers to relay outside of their network, many email providers, set up an authenticating SMTP server on different port. The article above includes information on specifying the port to use.
    For example, .Mac accounts can use port 587 as discussed in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75124
    You may want to check with your email provider if they offer an authenticating smtp server for people who are traveling or using mobile devices. Many do so without any additional cost, some may charge for access to that service.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.
