Cannot get mail message only with hotmail

every time I try to read my hotmail i receive this message, everything was working perfectly until a month ago and then I stop receiving push notifications, and isn't syncing with hotmail server
anyone knows any solution to this problem. I even restore my iPhone 4 but it still not working only works with my gmail account

Unless you are accessing your Hotmail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app, you've never had Push notifications with your Hotmail account nor synced the account with the Hotmail server. Push access for received messages and syncing server stored mailboxes with the server is supported when accessing the account as an Exchange account only.
Email account settings are included with your iPhone's backup. If there is a problem with the account settings on your iPhone and/or with your iPhone's backup in regards to this particular data, restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup will also restore the problem putting you right back where you started.
Have you tried deleting and manually recreating the account on your iPhone?

I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected. It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message). I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

Hello there dinadinadina,
It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Suddenly I consistently receive 3 or more "Cannot Get Mail" messages but all messages are received

I have over a dozen email accounts on my iPhone, a mix of godaddy, gmail... imap and pop. All of them were working fine, and then last week I started getting "Cannot Get Mail" messages, 2 or 3 back-to-back, every time mail is retrieved.
The thing is, I am receiving all messages from all mail accounts, despite these messages. So I have no way of knowing which service they are a result of. I have gone into settings to each account and resaved it, to see if the validation would fail on any, but all are fine.

Have checked them online

"Cannot Get Mail" message

I am using an iPhone5 and keep getting a message that says cannot get mail as username or password are incorrect. They're not!have tried deleting and reinstalling but this doesn't work either. Have also reset phone no luck!I am receiving my Sky emails on both my iPad and MacBook so can't understand why phone won't work?Any help would be appreciated...thank you!

Having the same issue as well. Says my password is incorrect. Have tried accessing the sky email via their website, but it won't let me progress past the confirmation of details screen, where I have to agree to the terms and conditions.. Just returns to the sky help page. this is becoming a serious issue as I cannot access any of my emails . Have also deleted the account on iPad and tried with a yahoo account, but still no joy. Anyone found a fix for this yet?

Microsoft Exchange email stopped working "Cannot Get Mail" message

About 4 days ago my work email stopped working altogether. Every time i open the application, a message 'Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed.' appears. This happened about a day after i installed 2.2 firmware.
I spoke with my IT department and they haven't made any changes on the server.
I deleted all mail accounts on my phone but to no avail. I did a complete restore of the phone and it still doesn't work.
I had my phone replaced yesterday for a different issue, it came with 2.1 software and i still was not able to connect to the server.
One more thing, when i initially set up the account, i get an error message 'Unable to Verify Certificate'.
The email was working fine for about three months before that.
Any help would be very much appreciated since it's my work phone and i rely on having access to my email everywhere i go.
Thanks,

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Cannot get Mail to work with BT

I have suddenly encountered a problem with Mail. I cannot now get it to work with my BT account.
When I Get Mail the progress bar shows from 7 to 15 items for download. The download speed decays to zero the progress bar stalls and nothing arrives.
My .Mac mail is fine though. So I have attempted to get BT to forward my mail to .Mac having deleted the BT account in Mail, but as yet no sign of that work-around helping either.
Is there a bug somewhere? Have had no problem with Mail for years and years.
17 inch iMac and fully up to date.

It may be frustrating, but there's a reason it's doing that; we just need to figure out why. So, what kind of email account do you have, and how long have you had it? When did this problem start, and what did you install just prior to this happening, if anything?

Cannot get mail message on 3G connection only?

When I try to check mail on 3G connection, it says my password or user name is incorrect. It works fine over wireless. I've tried reentering the password and reconfiguring, but nothing works over 3G.

Hey skrobichaud,
The following article goes over what might have prompted the "account Telus is in use on another device" message you're receiving on your iPhone:

Cannot get mail message for gmail

Hi
I am having problems with mail where I am receiving this message:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “@gmail.com” or try again.
The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
The server returned the error: Too many simultaneous connections. (Failure)
The password is correct and I can log on to gmail directly and not have any problems.
I also have another email account for a business from a seperate server that never has any problems so I know that it is not an internet connectivity problem.
Does anyone know how I resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi PrimalKitty,

Receiving Cannot get mail message when attempting to access Yahoo mail

I'm receiving this message using my Iphone 4s and I've seen some posts that suggest deleting the account and then re-adding it. I've tried this a few times with no luck. I also changed my password, but that didn't work either. I'm not sure what to try next. I am able to access my work e-mail (using Outlook) through my phone so I'm not sure why the phone can access Outlook, but not Yahoo. Any suggestions?

Thanks Matt
After persisting for about 24 hours, this problem has disappeared. I did in fact walk away and do something else for a few hours although the computer was left asleep not off. A day later all remains OK so I'm really no wiser as to just what or where the problem was. Regardless much thanks for your assistance.

Cannot get mail to work with my account

Every time I try to use mail I get a box which reads " Enter Password for Account "smtp.mac.com:myname" The SMTP server "smtp.mac.com" rejected the password for user "myname" please re-enter your password or cancel.
I AM PUTTING THE RIGHT PASSWORD IN!!!!!!!! I've checked it against the mail account preferences, both in the incoming mail server password and on the Outgoing Mail Server SMTP server settings. This message just keeps appearing and rejects my correct password (and caps lock isn't on!).
THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE!

Recently getting the "Cannot Get Mail" message on the iPhone 4?

2 months ago when the message first started appearing we could close mail on the Mac mini, and then receive emails on the the iPhone, but not any more? Have not seen any new e-mails on the iPhone since May 5.
The message also says "The account Telus is in use on another device"?
Has anyone encountereed this same message before?

Cannot get mail message keeps me from using a mail account. Yes I don not remember the password that I used of the user name. How can I reset this?

I don not remember the passwd or the user name for an email account. how do I reset this account?

OK, hubby figured this out for me. Apple support were nice people but could not get the answer. Network Solutions online info was incorrect or incomplete. I do not remember exactly. However, the email that Network sent was EXACT. No info as to password reset but they gave the correct port numbers and .....Connection!

Gmail Message "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed"

Curious if anyone else has seen the "cannot get mail" message pop up when using the iphone 4 mail in iOS. I only get it for my gmail and only when I select the all inboxes option. When I select only the gmail account, I don't see this pop up. My email downloads fine, but for some reason this message continues to show up every time I access it. Starting to get annoying.
Any solution as to how to keep this from popping up. Maybe changing something within the gmail account setup or preferences on the iphone?

HT1766 I cannot receive my mail for the last 3 days. I get the error message cannot get mail-the connection to the server failed. How do I fix this?

How do I fix my phone? I cannot get mail-I only get the message that the conncection to the server failed.

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
