Email Accounts Fail

iPhone 4 , Verizon
I've had this iPhone about 2 1/2 weeks.
I have several email accounts with Verizon & Gmail.
I had no trouble setting up these accounts in my iPhone, but after a few days only the Verizon accounts quit responding using wi-fi or 3G.
I got the iPhone error message that the name and/or password were incorrect with the option to go to Settings or to OK.
I tried all of the troubleshooting tips and finally had to resort to deleting those accounts and adding them again.
Once I did that they connected properly.
Yet again I had the same problem yesterday and had to resort to deleting & recreating the iPhone accounts.
There is no problem with the Verizon accounts and my home computers have no trouble assessing those accounts.
Obviously this is an issue originating from the iPhone.
What is causing the corruption of these accounts and how can I prevent this from happening in the future?
Are there any disgnostic routines that I can run to check the memory & storage for my iPhone?

HT201210 I have 4 email accounts. One email account failing on the ipod only

I have 4 email accounts on my ipod (yahoo, gmail, icloud and insight).
Only one of my email accounts(insight) quit presenting the new email two days ago.
I can pull the email on my laptop and desktop but not on the ipod.
Need help getting my main email account to show new email,
It seems to get email from server but will not show it on the screen.
All other email accounts I use still work.
I already rebuilt the entire ipod from the cloud; removed and reinstalled that email account,
It still fails to present new email on that one email account.
The other three accounts work fine.
HELP
The only one that still fails to work is the insight one.
Out of ideas now.

Hello. Do you see all accounts in "Mail, Contacts and Calendars?"
If you do, make sure you have hecked the boxes of the feartures of each account to work on your Mac. Example, I have a Google account, and when I click on it, I can select if I want to sync Mail, Calendars, Notes or Messages.
Please take note that I am referring to setting them up on the MacBook Air and not the iPhones.
Hope this helps.

I created a second email account with a password but when I try to get mail for it and I put in password it says login failed. Why? and how do I fix it.

I created second email account ([email protected]) with a Password but when I try to get mail and enter password, it says "Sending of Password did not succeed. Mail server mail.comcast.net responded: login failed". What am I doing wrong?

Have you logged on to the webmail account using a browser and enabled either Pop or Imap forwarding for that email address?
Have you created a mail account in Thunderbird that uses the chosen webmail forwarding option?
Password - make sure caps lock is not switched - it must be the same password you use to access the webmail account.
check:
Tools > account Settings > Server Settings
username = full email address
Please post info:

I am trying to create another email account with Talktalk. I already have one account.

Any ideas

Accessing your emails from any computer connected to the Internet or from a Smart phone should be straightforward.
For help on how to set up your e-mail on some of the most common software applications and devices, see How do I set up my TalkTalk email?
If your software application or device isn't listed, all you need to connect to your TalkTalk e-mail mailbox are the TalkTalk e-mail settings. Make sure you use the right email settings for your specific email address.
TalkTalk email addresses only

Since updating my macbook air with OS X mavericks i can't send emails smtp account failed my email host is 123reg

since updating my macbook air with OS X mavericks i can't send emails smtp account failed my email host is 123reg any ideas how to sort it out?

I am having the same issue with Media Temple Email.
My problem in more detail is:
Adding my Media Temple Hosted domain email to a desktop service on my Macbook Air.
I have tried this on both Mac Mail and Thunderbird.
I add the account manually and have checked, double checked, triple checked the server addresss and also the user name and password and they are correct.
I have altered the ports from being default to custom and have tried both SSL and non SSL and still it is unable to connect to the SMTP server.
IMAP inbox is working as I recieve mails but can not send them.
I have chatted to Media Temple and they say it must be something to do with the hardware of the MacBook Air which to start with I disagreed with but I have since tried adding the email to my Mac Mini and it works fine.
I am assuming their is an issue in the MacBook Air with the SMTP ports and I would really appreciate some advice on how to fix this as I don't want to use Webmail for ever.
Thanks in Advance

I switched to a Cisco Router model EA6500, in now periodically receive a message on both of my email accounts "cannot get email" the connection to the server failed" it's happening on both by iPad and iPhone. I've talked to Cisco and they couldn't help

Start by working throudh the Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi knowledge base article and see if that helps the situation. When you get to shutting down the router, be sure to disconnect power as shutdown on some is really just standby mode.

Email Account Setup Failed: "Update Failed"

Hello,
Firstly, I am aware that there is another post for the Storm with a similar issue, and they have come to some sort of conclusion. However, here is my problem....
I have a BlackBerry Bold 9700. I am using the Email Setup wizard to add an existing email account to my phone.
I have made sure that I am using the correct setting and my email address and password are correct (I can use them to log in to my webmail). When I get to the "Email Address" and "Password" it says "processing, please wait" for about 3 minutes and then says "update failed".
I have checked my domain/hosting website for support and they have instructions for adding email accounts of this type to the BB9700 linked below....
http://123-support.co.uk/support/answers/how-do-i-setup-email-on-blackberry-1170/
It appears that I cannot get past the initial address/password screen to enter my POP and IMAP settings.
Any help would be excellent, if my Blackberry cannot set this up, I will grudgingly get rid my my BB and get something else that will be able to do this, as its a business email address that I need to set up and have access to.
I have already set up a Hotmail, GMail, and one other web based email account on my BB using the wizard, currently I only have GMail and the one other webmail account on my BB as Hotmail was no longer required, so I know that this should be possible as I have been able to set up this type of account before and also going on my domain/hosting support, there is specific guidelines for setting up email on BB9700.
Any help would be great as I am stumped...
Cheers for having a look....

If you don't get the "enter data manually" option like I wasn't, try entering a bad password. That was the only way it would give me the manual setup option.

I downloaded IOS6 a week ago, now, all of a sudden the when I try to send emails the server connection fails. I have tried deleting and recreating the email account, but no good. Any suggestions?

I downloaded IOS 6 a week ago and just last night the server connection fails when I try to send an email. I tried deleting and recreating the email account several times, but it still doen't work. Any ideas?

Are you using yahoo? If so, wait it out. Yahoo has had a lot of issues lately and you just have to wait for them to fix it.

Setup failed - Thunderbird failed to find settings for your email account, what does that mean?

After completing the setup i get the following message:
Thunderbird failed to find settings for your email account. I don't know where to look for a solution to this problems & it's very frustrating since I'd like to start using Thunderbird.
Thanks.

Knowing who is your email provider would be a good starting point.
Your ISP?
One of the big free providers? e.g. googlemail, live mail/outlook.com/hotmail, yahoo, gmx/1and1?
Your webhost?

Trying to setup email account - getting "server connection failed"

I'm hoping someone out there can help me setup a POP account on my iphone. My host where the email account is based says it supports POP and/or IMAP, but I've tried to create a new account on the iphone with both methods and get the same message each time. The error says:
Server Connection Failed
The certificate for [email protected] may be invalid.
I just setup the same email account in my microsoft outlook and it works fine. Any thoughts???

Same problem here. We are running Exchange 2007 at my school and all I want is to get my mail sent to my iphone. I have no need to sync my iphone to my school computer.

HT4519 I have a yahoo email account and i keep getting an "error connection to the server failed"

The email account i have always used on my ipad mini is through yahoo. Now i keep getting an error "connection to the server failed" when trying to access my email.

its a common message but could be due to several possible causes
try this
close the mail app by double tapping the home button, swipe the screen until you see the large icon of the mail app. Swipe the app up and off the screen to close. Tap the home button to return to home screen. Open mail app again.
if that didn't work, then...
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
Unplug your wifi router for 5-10 minutes and at the same time reset settings on the ipad
settings/general/reset/reset all settings
(no data will be lost)

Email account setup failed & now email account locked out

I tried setting up my Blackberry Playbook (OS 2.0) with my work email account. This failed for all three types of connections - Exchange, IMAP, and POP.
Now an "external" server is trying to connect with that account at the place I work (University of Lethbridge) and still failing but causing account to be locked out.
The IT department has traced the IP to 68.171.232.33.rdns.blackberry.net
Evertime they "unlock" the account, it becomes locked again within seconds, because of requests from that IP to access my user account (which is also my email account credentials).
I have tried shutting down the Playbook, but this does not help.
I have wiped the Playbook and re-installed the operating system and upgraded to version 2.0 again, but again this has not helped.
I have accessed my Blackberry account, but there is nothing to edit or change, regarding the email settings that I tried to use to connect to my email account at the U. of L.
Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had no problem setting uo a live.com account, but had issues with a POP 3 server, although I did'nt get "locked out". I found some advice in the official balckberry forums. Something to do with resetting the incoming port to 110. The second night i used the PB, I got it to operate correctly. Good luck, I am impressed with the functionality of the PB, but the POP 3 server was a little testy.

Connection to server has failed on my email account, why ?

connection to email has failed although I have a strong wifi connection, why

I have exactly the same problem.
I exchanged my iphone 4 to a 4S at the Apple store with data uploaded via icloud.
I am connected to the internet and all my email accounts operate accept for one gmail account that gets the message "The connection to the server failed".
I can access the account from my ipad but not fron the iphone. The other Gmail account operates perfectly. I can still use my old iphone to access this gmail account. It is just that it will not work on the new iphone 4S. I have made settings the same in both iphones. HELP

Failed to send email. failed to establish connection with the outgoing email server. Please make sure you have entered the email account and password correctly.

I get the message listed above when I try to email pics. It asked me to set up an email account. I chose gmail. It asked for a password. I'm assuming it was asking for my email password. And yes I may have typed it in wrong, but how do I "please make sure you have entered the email account and password correctly" ??? I can't find out how to get back to that point?

Have you checked your Gmail in-box? See if this helps:

Trouble adding Yahoo! email account. Error: Login to the account failed, please try again.

I have read several discussions about this topic. I have tried manual set up, deleting the account multiple times and nothing works. Please help!

Now I can't speak to Catnzdogs's results of it not working after a FR ... That indeed is strange.
But I would try doing the following, as it really sounds like you have an Invalid userid & password "cached" that is giving you that error .. So try this:
- Go into Settings / Applications / Manage Applications, Click on the ALL Tab
- Scroll down to EMAIL (you may have as many as 4 of them > EMAIL, EMAIL ACCOUNTS, EMAIL AUTHENTICATOR, EMAIL ENGINE)
- Select each 1 of them & click on Clear Data & Clear Cache for each
- exit out of the settings
- Launch your email App - it SHOULD prompt you for your login info & password - make sure you enter it correctly the 1st time, else it will save the bad information in cache again.
Let us know what happens & what specific error msg you get, if any. good luck
