Email "can't connect to server"

My email was working fine and then suddenly stopped last Friday on my Droid phone. All other email apps are fine. I'm able to get online, etc. I've disabled and enabled the app. I've reset my phone to factory settings. I've checked my settings in gmail to be sure IMAP is enabled. No help. Ideas?

aaaaalrighty then.
Well........ at least it still works fine on my MacMail.
It also works fine on iCloud, (when i use a computer that is new enough to use iCloud).

  • Iphone 4 issue - yahoo email can't connect to server on 3G

  • Dot mac email can't connect to server...

    hey all.
    So i have an old .mac email as my main email address for work. I've obviously had it for a long time.
    I want to update to iCloud, but my older G5 Power PC is not compatible, and I'm not quite ready to buy a new computer, financially.
    And so, my Mac Mail on my G5 still works with my .mac email just fine.
    Yet, in the last month or so, on my android phone, it constantly tells me that it cant connect to the server, but yet, it does receive email, but only once every 5-6 hours. It used to work fine till about a month ago.
    Is this because of the switch to iCloud?
    Being that my .mac has been my main email for work, and I'm constantly on the go, and need my email on my phone, and in a timely fashion, is my only solution to buy an iPhone?
    thanks!

    Hi Kellyssi,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're being asked repeatedly to check terms and conditions, try restarting and then resetting your iPhone:

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Outgoing mail can't connect to server after update

    I updated my iphone and ipad and desktop when the new update came out. My email works only on my iphone and ipad.  My computer recieves messages, but can not send them.  It says it is "offline" and "can't connect to server" uggggh. This has been going on for at least a month now.  I called Time Warner Cable and they basically said they could not help me.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hello,
    Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
    In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
    Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

  • Can't connect to server to accept terms/conditons

    after upgrading to ios 7, icloud is not working on iphone 4S—asks me to accept terms and conditions, but then says "can't connect to server" to do so.
    Tried turing off and on, any others having this issue?
    Thanks

    Feel so foolish. After deleting as you suggest, I realized that the mail I'm reading on my iPad is, in fact, the mail from the cloud. I was expecting an iCloud web page like I see on my computer. Apparently, that's not the case. If I've been receiving email on my iPad, then I'm already setup properly.
    Thanks for you help anyway ..

  • I can't get my mail it keeps saying can't connect to server. Have I turned something off ?

    I can't get my e mail to work it keeps saying can't connect to server. Have I turned something off?    help!!!!!! :))))

    Under the email provider find the account from which you can't send (you mention Yahoo) and click on that, then the first thing on the next page is the email address so click on that and scroll down to advanced, there you'll find SSL settings. I can provide screenshots if you still require help although I don't have a Yahoo account the instructions are the same for any email account.

  • Safari and Youtube can't connect to server

    Safari and Youtube can't connect to server but I can use iTunes online store. Isn't that strange? Any ideas why?
    I use static ip-adresses on my home network with a WEP 128bit security. I have entered all configuration that I enter under tcp/ip properties on my but there is one property on the touch that I don't recognise from my PC and that is someting that translated could be named "Search Domains". It's the last property under the static wireless config tab.

    I have no idea what I am doing... but once i changed the proxy (HTTP) my life is just miserable, no sites open, like its really annoying. Do you know how to fix it.

  • Earthlink Servers -- "can't connect to server"

    Recently (the last couple of weeks) Safari have been displaying the message "can't connect to server" when trying to access certain pages.
    Here are the particulars:
    This only happens with Safari, not with any other browser (netscape, firefox, explorer) on my Mac or my PC.
    The problem is intermittent -- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Both times when I've called apple tech support (and they tried to reproduce the problem, it was working)
    The problem only exists with Earthlink's homepages ...any page that has the url "home.earthlink.net/~whatever. So this rules out any particular page or site ...the problems (for me) seems confined to Earthlink homepage servers.
    This happens whether logged on via dial-up, or using DSL ethernet (these two are via my isp, earthlink) ...or when using my neighbor's wireless connection via Comcast. So the problem is not unique to the ISP.
    Here's the puzzling part. When the problem does exist, I can access the page by typing www. in from of the home.earthlink.... and the page loads. When the problem does not exits and the www. is placed in front of the url, Safari displays the "can't connect to server" message (???).
    Also, during these intermittent periods when it doesn't work, any other pages I have that call upon graphics with a SRC url of home.earthlink.... the graphics don't display.
    Lastly, my tracking program has shown (1) a significant drop in the pages accessed with Safari, (2) the pages that are accessed with Safari are occasionally accessed with the www.home.earthlink.... url, so this is obviously happening to other safari users.
    For my part, I've done all the usual stuff, checked here for similar reports, reset Safari and trashed all the prefs. No changes.
    Apple tech seems to think this is an Earthlink Server problem. Earthlink tech acknowledges no such problem and feels it's Safari's problem. ...and I'm caught in the middle Hrmpf!!!
    Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
    I'm using OS 10.3.9 with Safari 1.3.2
    "home.earthlink.net/~skinesscentuals" -- one of the affected sites
    iBook G4 1.33 w/Mac OS X (10.3.9) w/768 MB    
    Dell Pent III w/WinXP (SP2) w384 MB

    Let's try it the other way around. Open Network Preferences and open the lock.
    Set up a new location, I call it "verizon" because the DNS nums will be theirs, available to all. Enter as 2 separate lines
    4.2.2.2
    4.2.2.1
    Proxies have been a problem so make sure you have none unless you really need them.
    Apply now. Good luck.
    Do a forum search on "open dns" for 2 more servers to get their nums. I can't see them as that is what I am currently running and don't want to mess with it.

  • I can't update my ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server"(despite internet connection being fine). Also, when I try and update software it starts then stops after 2 seconds

    I can't update my Ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server" despite internet connection being fine. When I receive a software update message;I say install and it starts updating then stops after 2 seconds. Help! (It is a 3rd gen IPod touch(I think)). Presumably as a result of this, I have tried to put my library onto my gf's new iPod touch and it just charges it..doesn't download my library onto the touch).

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
