I doubt you are doing anything wrong. First day glitches 
Reset the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Make sure you have Mail selected here >  http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

  • A copy has been placed in your outbox. No password provided.  Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password.

    This is the message I get on my iPhone 4s when I attempt to send mail.  I have reentered my password and POP info, but without results.  Anyone encountered/solved this problem before?

    Which mail provider are you using?
    I'd delete the mail account, reset your network settings, and then add the email account again after your phone restarts.

  • 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 Get Mail (iPod touch and iPad)

    Hi all.
    Had to move from MobileMe to iCloud.  So I moved the iMac from OS X 10.6.8 to 10.7.4 (Lion).
    Then moved from MobileMe to iCloud.
    On my initial test, on the day of the moves, I could send and receive emails without problems on the iMac, the iPod, the iPad and on the iCloud site.
    Then, one day later, I couldn't receive emails on the iMac.  As was suggested here in Discussions, I turned SSL on for my main account;  this automatically changed the port number (!?) and fixed the problem.
    Except that today, I can receive emails on the iMac and on the iCloud site, but both the iPod and the iPad (both at IOS 5.1.1) display the message "Cannot Get Mail - The user name or password for "Name_of_my_account" is incorrect."
    I KNOW that I made no change to either the user name or the password.
    Anyone have a clue as to what the problem is this time???
    Thanks!

    Hi all.
    My problem solved, kind of:
    realized that my ISP support an IMAP server.  I was already using their email as my main email address, and only used MobileMe for synchronisation purposes.  (And in order to achieve that, I needed to configure two accounts, etc.)
    So what I did is simple:  I deleted all my mail accounts (on iMac, iPod and iPad), recreated one mail account using my ISP's IMAC server:  BINGO!  mail accounts on all three devices are now in sync.  I then created iCloud accounts on each device to sync Contacts, Calendars, etc, BUT NOT MAIL.
    (By the way, since I had about 100 emails in my Inbox that I did not care to read, file or trash immediately, I exported the Inbox before deleting the accounts and then re-imported them into the new IMAC account.)
    Good luck to all!

  • HT201263 I have never used a passcode (four numbers) to start my IPAD2 but after the IOS7 update, it wants a passcode. I cannot get past the opening screen which demands a passcode therefore I am unable to access settings or passcode locks or even self de

    I am unable to access settings or passcode locks or even self destruct which is looking quite appealing.
    IOS7 update leaves my Ipad2 asking for a passcode which I have never used.
    Aaarrgghh

    I was hoping that some bigwig who decided to throw this update into the mix might have figured out what happened.
    I started at 0000 , 1234, 3333 ,9999 nothing except this Ipad is disabled.
    ............ a bit like IOS7!

  • 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. 

  • I use icloud email but (2 email accounts univ and icloud) and i need to have all my outgoing emails come "from" my university account, not my icloud.  So how do i do that, note checking the default box for sending new messages only applies to new messages

      I am using icloud email but i also have a university account.  All my email is fowarded to my icloud account and what i need to do is make sure all of my email that i ship is from my university account and not from my icloud account.  I know there is a box that allows the default for all new emails to originate from one account but how do i make sure that all my replies to email (i.e. they have been fowarded from university account to icloud) now go from my university account.  please help anyone. 

    Sorry for the delayed response, yes i want to use my university account when replying to all emails.  Note i just discovered something, when i forward my university email to my icloud account and than responded from either my imac of my macbook air (i.e. in icloud) it automatically goes to my university account in the "from" space (good news!!!).  That is just what i wanted, .  While that is the good news, the bad news is that my iphone and ipad still treat this email as being from icloud even though it is forwarded (redirected) from my university account.  That is when i respond to an email (or for that matter create a new email in my icloud account) it automatically lists the icloud account as the "from" account and i have to go in and manually modify it.  So i am 50% there to solving my problem (i.e. actually did nothing the systems just worked well) but i still need to figure out a way to make this happen on my ipad and iphone. Any help or suggestions, note the default button in the iphone and ipad for email work differently than the default in the composition menu of the imac or macair.

  • 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)

  • I keep getting a message Cannot Get Mail No password provided for "MobileMe"

    I have upgraded to 4S and the phone is functioning properly but I keep getting some error messages.  In Mail, I keep getting the prompt - Cannot Get Mail  No password provided for "MobileMe". Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password.
    When I click Settings, I have already removed the "MobileMe" account from my phone & am receiving the MobileMe mail through the iCloud account that is set up.  And that iCloud account is functioning properly. 
    So the Mail is attempting to pull mail from an account I deleted off my iPhone & then when I try to follow the prompts to fix the problem & enter a password, it's no longer there.

  • Cannot get mail via Yahoo

    I use Yahoo mail on my iPad and since yesterday I keep getting this error message:
    "Cannot Get Mail. No password provided for (my account). Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password." I have entered the password. It shows up on the Mail Account settings as saved. I re-enter the password to no effect. I've deleted the mail account and created it again, still does not work. I only have the one mail account on the iPad. I am able to surf using Safari. When I try to send e-mail, I get this message: "Cannot Send Mail. The user name or password for (my account) is incorrect." Can anybody help please?

    This happens in hotmail, too....if this ever happens to you folks again, go to
    Mail, Contacts, Calendars>click on the account that is not working>scroll down to "outgoing mail server">click on the top "Primary server">re-input your password until it is verified>click "done" at the top
    Should work just fine!!!!
