Email accounts stopped working

Hi,
I need some help with my Email accounts. I got my phone last year when they first came out in the UK and have been using it with no problems. But my Email accounts have now stopped working.
I have two different accounts with two different providers and today neither will pick up any Emails. They both have the yellow triangle on the inbox page. Please can someone help resolve this. I really need my Emails back.
Thanks
WG

Hi,
Mine's now sorted. I reinput all the settings for my wireless network and the emails started working again. Had to imput manual settings though as it wouldn't pick up automatically.
Not sure why that should have been a problem as you shouldn't even need wireless on for it to work, but might be worth a try.

One email account stops working in Lion, despite same functioning settings on iPad and iPhone

Hi,
here's to hoping someone out there can help.
Since the Lion install, one email account in Mail does not work. I tried deleting and re-installing the account and (with the help of tech support) toggling SSL settings and ports, but it still would not work. Interestingly, the account still works on iPad and iPhone. But the same settings do not work on the desktop Mail. Sending email to the account is received on mobile devices sans problem.
I'm afraid at this point to sync the macbook with iPad and iPhone for fear the devices will automatically stop receiving mail as well. What gives?
Grateful for any tips!
Cheers,
Alicia

here is what I did to resolve the problem. In Mail/preferences/accounts/account information/ and at the bottom of the box there is a toggle arrow up and down to edit the outgoing mail server, check the box "use only this server" and hit this toggle button and select "edit SMTP Server List" at the very bottom of the email names. Be sure to select OK each time to get the passwords to hold! Some changes won't hold unless you click OK before you move on.
Select Advanced tab. Correct and/or add usernames and passwords as needed for each email account. It seems the passwords are not holding.
To test: Window/activity (a little windows will pop up showing activity bars) and then "get mail" button. This should show any problems
another test: window/connection doctor
This will fix both pop and imap. so far it worked on yahoo, mobile me, gmail, hotmail, and others. Of course, you will need to know the incoming and outgoing mail server info, user name, and passwords.
Too bad we have to go though hoops to use an email program that used to work well.

Virgin imap Email account stops working

Can anyone help here please?
I have and iPhone 5, no idea if that is relevant, on which I have set up two virgin email accounts using imap settings, what a game that was, and at regular intervals I have a problem with one of the accounts which stops working.
Both email accounts are set up identically, I have checked time and time again, but it is always the same account which stops working with the same error message 'imap4.virgin.net' is not responding. I am raising this with Virgin too but as my other account continues to work fine on the same settings I am not sure the problem sits with them. If I delete the troublesome account then it will work fine for anything up to 3 months, or as little as a week, but then it will happen again, one account downloads emails the other refuses to, and give the error message I have mentioned above.
Has anyone any experience of the problem, and any ideas, or does anyone have a solution, short of binning either the iPhone or Virgin email! Both of those solutions are not practical, but tempting.

Email Notifications stop working on all of my forms. Help?

Email Notifications stop working on all of my forms. Help?

This may be an indication that your incoming mail server has started treating all of those messages as SPAM, and is deleting them. Try setting those messages go to an outside e-mail account, submit a test submission of your form, and see what happens. It might at least help in tracking down the problem. If you find that the messages go to an outside account, work with your Postmaster to get the messages coming from FormsCentral whitelisted. It might still be something else, but this is something you can try to narrow the possibilities.
Hope that helps,

Why has .mac email suddenly stopped working on my PowerPC G5?

It's worked fine for a couple of years and now it asks for my password, which it will not acknowledge. I checked my .mac account settings, etc and all seems fine. The .mac account runs fine on my phone and thru iCloud. But now not on my desktop.
They're killing off MobileMe and I noticed that my desktop won't sync anymore with that either. Related? It appears that you will need OSX Lion to function fully with iCloud. Let's see, I'm only 13 OSX upgrades behind........

Please help!

It's done this before and i went to settings and followed these instructions then it worked great for a few months but now I can not receive email. I can send but incoming does not work.

HT4864 My outgoing email as stopped working when using Outlook for mac 2011. Any suggestions?

My outgoing email as stopped working when using Outlook for mac 2011. I have deleted and reinstalled the account twice. I have 11 gig free on my iCloud account. The outgoing server is set at smtp.mail.me.com using port 587. If I was able to reinstall the account, I am positive I have the correct password. I can log into my iCloud accout using the same credentials.
Any suggestions?

I called Microsoft to fix my problem...for those maybe having the same issue, I was told by the Tech to use this outgoing server setting - p06-smtp.mail.me.com
All is working fine since doing so.

Have you not used the automatic 'configure my MobileMe' on my iPhone account setup ?

You only have name, email address, password and a name for the account to enter.

Apps and music are not part of the backup at all.

Cant get help with this issue on Apple Support, so I have to go to the Apple store to the Genius Bar to get assistance. All the help issues are so technical in their jargon, that I cannot understand how to fix the issue.

POP Email Account Not working after update to 1.1.1

After I updated to 1.1.1, I noticed my email wasn't working quite right, so I did a complete restore, and in the process of setting everything back up, I can not get my personal pop email account to work. After creating a new account with the "Other" option, I enter all the correct information, and when I hit "save", I get this message: Secure Connection Failed, Certificate for "Personal" may be invalid.
It then gives me the option to Cancel or Continue, but hitting continue just hangs. Any thoughts? It was working properly before the update, and my desktop client is still connecting and receiving emails, so nothing has changed on my ISP's end.
Thanks,
Kenton

Given that other posts mention two prompts: first that "certificate may be invalid" and second "would you like to connect without SSL?" (paraphrase), I decided to hit "continue" on the first dialog and see what happened in my case. After doing so, I was NOT prompted a second time, so it would SEEM that my SSL connection completed normally after all. For others in this circumstance who require/demand SSL, you may want to try continue on the first prompt to see if it just works.
By all appearances, I still have a secure pipe to my email. It's a shame that this prompt and the results of "continue" aren't better at indicating what the actual issue is.
Note that in my case, I'm probably prompted about the certificate because I don't have a globally-signed SSL cert. I am just using one that I created myself and imported into the Mac OS X keychain. This cert was sync'd beautifully (thank you Apple!) to my phone originally, and appears to still be working. A check of the mail prefs on the iphone still show both inbound/outbound mail to have SSL "on" so it doesn't appear to have been disabled by 1.1.1 or by my pressing "Continue".
I believe that this 1.1.1 update was a deep enough update of the OS that it is merely warning me again (in an unfortunately cryptic way) that the certificate is not signed by global cert authorities. I think it did the same thing when I first set up the iPhone (1.0) but hasn't prompted me again like this on any updates since.

How can I get my mac email account to work?

How can I get my mac email account to work?

That requires you to enter the configuration correctly. You can find out the configuration for your email from your ISPs website in most cases. Or if you're using Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail you need only Google something like:
"Gmail configuration for Apple Mail" or "Hotmail configuration for Apple Mail" (without the quotes).
That should get you started..
