  • HT1430 receiving message "cannot get mail. account ... is in use on another device"

    Phone does not receive email. Instead I receive message "cannot get mail. Account ... is in use on another device." No problem receiving mail on all other devices.

    It is not a problem that is solvable by anyone. It is the way POP works. Set the polling time on your computer to 10 minutes or more and it will happen much less frequently. But it will still happen. Any time your phone tries to retrieve mail while your computer is actively retrieving mail you will get that message.
    If your ISP does not offer IMAP service there isn't much you can do. Most don't BTW. I run a mail server that supports IMAP, and so does Yahoo, Microsoft, Google and Apple. But a lot of ISPs don't because either they want you to use webmail so they can track your usage or they don't like the fact that IMAP keeps the master copy of all mail on the server, so you will use much more storage than with POP.
    One option is to get a gmail account and set it to retrieve your ISP mail. The read your mail with gmail. Google even lets you reply using your ISP's email address as the return address.

  • Cannot update mail account settings, Cannot update mail account settings

    I recently changed my password on my yahoo email account.  My iPad now cannot login to my yahoo mailnsince the password is different.  When I go to Settings, Mail, Account, I can see my yahoo account but iPad will not allow me to click on it.  Any ideas?

    Maybe a process is hung up on the bad credentials.  If you haven't done so, I would stop all apps with the double-tap-on-the-home-button, hit-the-red-X method then reset the device with the home and power button.  I bet after you do that you will be able to get into the account to either edit it or delete it. 

  • HT5760 When I go to my "mail"  I get a box that says "Cannot get mail, check settings....."  while at the same time, my mail is delivered behind the box.

    The question is......how do I get rid of the box?   The e-mail comes in fine!

    Have you tried a reset?
    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)

  • Cannot get mail using iCloud.  Says no password provided for iCloud, to go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password, even though I've already done this.  Very odd.

  • My iphone 4s is saying "cannot get mail" The username or password for "Btinternet" is incorrect

    My iphone 4s is saying "cannot get mail" The username or password is incorrect.
    I did reset my password yesterday on my main computer but tried on my iphone and now can't get mail ?

    Hi Cherie,
    I had EXACTLY the same problem for more than two weeks, that was NOT solved by speaking to BT 'Tech Support' - they kept saying that the problem was the fault of Apple - untill I finally got some help from them today (Mon 7th Oct).
    The error message I got - despite ALL settings on my iPhone(5) and iPad(4) being absolutely correct - was this:
    'Cannot Send Mail', 'The username or password for SMTP: ***********@mail.btinternet.com is incorrect'
    The only solution I got - eventually - from BT is to delete the above account fro the device and 're-install' it again, but THIS time use the 'Yahoo' option from the list of choices rather than 'Other'.
    When I did this and entered the relevant Name, E-Mail Address, Password, and Description (you can call the account whatever you like), I selected 'next', then I got the word 'Verifying.......' appear after a few seconds, and then I saw the four 'blue tick marks' appear next to my entries.
    These 'blue tick marks' confirm the verification that your details are correct.
    The next time you open your e-mail client on your iPhone or iPad you shoud see your ****@btinternet.com e-mail account in the list of e-mail accounts on your phone (if you have more than one) with a Yahoo icon next to whatever name you chose to call it. If you already have a Yahoo! account (like me) it is probably a good idea to call the 'BTYahoo' account, BT or something, rather than keep the default 'Yahoo' name otherwise you will have two with the same name in your accounts list.
    You SHOULD eventually get back ALL the e-mails that were previously in your inbox, as well as some 'extra' folders that you probably did not have when you first set up the account on your iOS device.
    That is what happened when I reinstalled my account, so I hope this works for you.

  • Why do I sometimes get a pop up that says I cannot get mail because my user name or password are incorrect. But they are correct.

    Sometimes when I am not at home and I Am trying to get my email I get a pop up that says "cannot get mail because user I'd or password is incorrect". But they are entered correctly.

    My Gmail account did the same to me, I had just downloaded pictures from my camera memory card and thought it had something to do with it. My son said his Gmail has done this to him off and on for three years. He said he just leaves it and comes back a hour or more later and it works fine. I tried to change my password and got my whole Gmail account snarled up in a big fur ball!! It took two weeks to get it all  straightened out. I will try leaving it alone next time or just start a new account. Good Luck

  • I recently changed my aol password and now I cannot get mail.  When I go to settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars the accounts portion is grayed out and will not let me open.  How do I fix this problem?

    I recently changed my aol password and right after I changed, I cannot get mail.  I get a a pop up block that says, Cannot Get Mail, the user name or password for AOL is incorrect, settings, OK.  I go to settings as suggested but the account area is grayed out and will not let me open.  Need help on how to fix this problem.  I tried sync with my PC and that did not help either.

    It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it. 
    I found some links on the Yahoo! website that might help:

  • Mail.app pops up saying "Cannot get mail" but the emails are downloaded normally....

    mail.app pops up saying "Cannot get mail: The user name or password for "iCloud" is incorrect", that is not true because i can log in on iCloud.com with the same credentials setted in mail.app. But the strange thing is that i can get the email! Let me explain: mail.app download the emails normally but when it check for incoming mail and there are no one, the alert pops up.
    This is not a critical issues, i can get the emails anyway, but that alert is really annoying.
    I've alredy changed the password of my appleID to a new one, but nothing changed.
    Has anyone had the same problem and managed to solve it?

  • Why does my mail keep saying "Cannot get mail"

    Synced my Yahoo account with my phone and recieved mail for a few months. About three weeks ago I recieved a message when I open my Mail app that says "Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed." I also received an email that said "Recently, we have detected some unusual activity on your account and as a result, we've temporarily locked it for your protection. You may unlock your account immediately by logging in on a PC. If you have additional questions, please visit us at ___ to get the help you need. Sincerely, Your yahoo customer experience team."
    I logged in to my account on my laptop and everything seemed to fix itself and everything was fine when I get on my computer but I am still not able to get new mail through my phone. It still keeps giving me the "Cannot Get Mail" message on my phone.
    Any thoughts?

    Hello Perry0130,
    It sounds like you are getting a message that your password is incorrect after you changed the password for your email account. I would try these 3 troubleshooting steps from the following article to help troubleshoot the AOL account connection:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • TS3899 Message keeps appearing " cannot get mail, ID or password incorrect" but getting email just fine

    I recently upgraded to IOS 5, as well as connected to a cable network instead of dsl, updated iTunes and sync'd my iPad to my Windows XL and got on board with iCloud. Now I keep getting a message that says, " cannot get mail, user ID or password incorrect" with options of choosing OK or going to settings. If I choose the settings, it brings me to account info with my email address and password ( dots) Then if I erase the password and put it back in, it says it's incorrect and if I save it, I may not receive or send mail. If I go directly to my account from the settings icon, and erase my password there instead, and then re- enter it, then it verifies it. Regardless of anything I do, the same message keeps popping up and is very annoying, as well as interrupting. What's wrong, please?

    Thanks for answering, but I should've clarified... The message keeps popping up every couple of minutes. Sometimes as soon as I click OK, it comes back again. I tried deleting the account and re-entering it again, but that didn't work. I tried resetting my iPad by holding both the on and the off switch down until the apple appears...still no help. I went to my PC, and logged into my account and viewed my email without any problem. Is this a problem with my iPad or Yahoo? I called a Yahoo line, and was told I had reached the wrong extension, since it was a line for technical assistance only, and then he hung up. What can I do next?
