Cannot get mail The connection to server failed

Got my new iphone 5S and I cant get email . Says The connection to server failed. Anyone know of a fix?

Who is the provider? Do you have two-step verification turned on? Did they change something on their end?

HT4623 Both my iPad and iPhone have a message "Cannot get mail" The connection to server failed. I wen to the Apple store today and he could not do anything. Said maybe it will come back by itself. It has been 36 hours and nothing has happened. Help!!!

I have not been able to connect to the internet on my iPhone and iPad the past 36 hours.Went to the Apple store today and he said that maybe it will come back on it's own. That is the first time that I have been to the apple store with a disappointing resolve. Please help, there has to be an answer?

Your post says you have an iPhone 3G. Is it running iOS 4.2.1, which is the latest iOS it can run? Even if so, it's now quite old (nearly five years). That could be part of the problem.
Anyway, maybe you should delete your mail account (Settings >> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -- if it was still called that back in the iOS 4.2.1 days), and start over.
Here's the Mail Setup Assistant to help you do that:

Cannot get mail the connection to server has failed

cannot get mail - the connection to server ha failed

Ensure you have a active interenet connection, once thats verified and the problem still exists. Go into settings>Mail,Contacts,Calender click on the account in question, delete it, then re-add it.

Hi StuNYC,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed. iPhone 3GS & Hotmail

I've got an iPhone 3GS and I'm using Hotmail.
I'm geting the same error message over and over - "Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed.". Out of the blue it started on my phone, but then the email worked again for a day after, and then quit working again. I've tried deleting and adding it as a new account. I tried to go back to what might have in-part caused the problem, and the only thing I had done over the weekend was to turn iCloud on and start backing up to it, but the e-mail did work after that for a couple days. I've tried a couple different Hotmail accounts to see if it was a corrupt e-mail in one account, but both accounts give me the same "Cannot Get Mail" response. Creating the "TEMP" folder on Hotmail and moving e-mails there did not work.
Could anyone spell out in layman's (non-IT) terms what I might be able to try?

Is anyone getting this message when trying to access Yahoo Email? "Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server failed?"

Is anyone getting this message when trying to access Yahoo Email? "Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server failed?"

I have Yahoo mail (POP) account. Mine is working fine at present. I do occasionally get asked for password while sending mail. I have had your issue in the past and it usually clears up in a few hours. Sometimes I sign out and then back in and it starts working again.

What does Cannot get mail The connection to the server failed mean?

How can I access my mail - when I try a messages stating 'Cannot get mail - The connection to the server failed'
I dont know what to do!

Usually there is not a password, SSL is set wrong, the server name is wrong, or the Port is wrong.
Go toSettings > Mail, Contacts,Calendars, then the Mail Account and see if the Incoming Server is some form of STP server specified, then that a password is set, and the if that is all correct go to Advanced and see how SSL is set.

I too am getting this message. I have been using my iPad for two years with no problems but a couple of days ago I starting having this problem intermittently. I have restarted the iPad when that did not work I deleted the account and reloaded it. Nothing seems to work. I was having the same problem on my iPhone but that seems to be OK today. Any other ideas?
