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 on iPad even though my husband is sitting next to me and can get mail

Lately, when I pull up my emails a popup tells me "Cannot Get Mail, the connection to the server failed." Yet, emails deposit in my Inbox. What is going on?

I reset my Ipad a few days ago. Now, whenever I check on my emails, I get a msg saying CANNOT GET MAIL, The Connection to the Server Failed. But, all my emails are there sitting in the Inbox. How can I eliminate this annoying notice?

Hello there nonozec,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you can receive emails, but you still get an error saying that Mail could not get your mail.
I would recommend this troubleshooting from the article named iOS: Unable to send or receive email found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
While the title of the article is about different symptoms, the troubleshooting portion is relevant.
All the best,
Sterling

My iPhone 4S has stopped receiving iMessages, cannot send/load any pictures over whatsapp, cannot join the wifi in my house anymore. What has happened to my iPhone i haven't made any changes?

My iPhone 4S has stopped receiving/sending iMessages, cannot send/load any pictures over whatsapp and cannot join the wifi in my house anymore.
Essentially all the things I use my phone for have now stopped working. I constantly have 3G connected (even though i dont want to use it, i want to connect to the wifi in my house) but still when I try to download/ send a picture over whatsapp it comes up with an error message saying the server is unverified, or something equally ridiculous.
I deleted the app so i could reinstall it (as if that would help), but the app store is started saying "unable to connect", despite 3G, so that bright idea died out pretty sharpish.
Whenever i try to turn on iMessage, it asks for my Apple ID password, which I know I've typed in correctly because I reset the **** thing about 4 times due to it apparently being "incorrect". Even so, it repeatedly asks for the password over and over as soon as I've entered it, saying it was "unable to connect" before a final "incorrect password" message pops up just to add an extra smack of annoyance.
I haven't changed a single setting on my iPhone whatsoever. It just suddenly started spiralling into what is now £28/month-worth of pure frustration.
I don't even have any music or photos on it as I had to free up 3.5GB of space on the **** thing to allow it to update, naively thinking that would solve the problem, but alas it did not.
I have seen a few questions posted like this one, usually just one of the problems I have, but I seem to have rounded up the whole bunch (lucky me). None of the previously posted questions have received any replies.
Can some please help me! Honestly, if i see another "unable to..." or "unverified source" pop up again I'll probably smash the thing against the side of my house.
Cheers.

On your iPad, go to [Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings] Once that is done, re-connect your iPad to your wifi network.

"Cannot Get Mail" using iPad WiFi but works with 3G

I have a iPad 3G. Today I started have a problem reading my mail from Exchange. I get "Cannot Get Mail" when I use WiFi, but when I use my 3G (with the WiFi off) it works fine. I can do everything else on WiFi, and this is a new problem. I have already tried resetting the iPad and that didn't help. What do I do?

This has worked for over a month and I just started having problems today. This afternoon, it was working every now and then over WiFi, but not consistently. Everything else works fine, so I don't think it is my ISP.

Close the Mail app in the Task Bar and re-launch.
Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar. Hold Mail app down for a second or two until it wiggle; tap minus sign to close app.
If it still doesn't work, try a reset.

I am not receiving new emails on my phone. I am receiving a pop-up that reads "cannot get mail" saying my server is not responding and to check my settings. My settings are correct. Help!

Looking for help.... I keep getting a pop-up message on my phone stating that my server is not responding and to check my settings. My settings are fine. Any advice on what I can do to receive new emails on my phone? Help!

For a few weeks I have been using the GMail app on my iPhone 4S to get mail without problem. When I wanted to check something in Apple's Mail app, which has worked well for years, I now get a message for my principal email address that the server is "not responding," even though the same server is responding to my GMail app. For some reason, when I dismissed the message in Mail, it popped up again, but then could be dismissed. Did something change in Mail that requires some imap addresses be deleted and readded? Any idea?
I would not want to think that Mail is programmed to befuddle if it is ignored too long.

Why can i not get work email now after IOS 5 "Cannot Get Mail"

It was working fine in IOS 4 but now email not working. But i can send just not receive.

Checking and following instructions on the "iCloud: Troubleshooting" site, I deleted my mail account in settings and reinstalled it. This deleted all the old mails I saved and the mailboxes I created, but the connection to the server still fails. I can still send, but not receive mails. Is there any other way I can read my cloud mail? From the safari website perhaps?

Email has stopped working and cannot be re-setup; 'Activation failed' and 'Security of the connection cannot be verified' errors

The blackberry stopped receiving email as of Dec 22. it does reeive Registration messages from blackberry. The browser still works. I contacted the provider and the network is functioning correctly. I have deleted the email setup several times and set it up again; I have removed the battery and restarted and reset up the email. This involves a hotmail.ca account. During email setup it checks for update and indicates the mailbox is set up and then it wants to reconcile contacts and that is when the Activation Failed; an error was encountered when sending the activation transmission notice appears. When I use the browser to go to hotmail.ca and login, I can see all my email up to date and then an error message pops up indicating, Server Certificate Warning and when I select Details; it inidcaes untrusted certificate; unable to determine certificate's origin; when I view the certificate it identifies X h.live.com Untrusted Certificate Chain; Stale Chain Status etc... It's like the hotmail.ca or live.com is corrupted...how do I fix it. The only thing I have not doe is to use the Security tool to Wipe email. Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated.

Gmail Cannot Get Mail...please help!

My iPhone and MacBook Native Mail apps both stopped responding to my main Gmail account. I have tried everything from deleting and re-adding the account in question, to restoring my iPhone (iOS 4), and setting it up as a new phone. I have checked my account settings through Gmail, and even changed my password. The error message I receive is:
Cannot Get Mail
The user name or password for "[email protected]" is incorrect.
or
Cannot Get Mail
The User Name or Password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect.
Again, I have logged in and out of my main account through the website with no problems. I am not sure what to do now.

I have a similar issue although mine seems to point towards the fault of Gmail.
I am using mail on 3 different devices
-iPhone 4 (current update)
-iPad 3G (current update)
-iMac 21.5" model (all current updates)
I use a work e-mail AND a personal e-mail, both through Gmail. My work and personal e-mail addresses have been working fine for quite some time. Yesterday however all of the sudden I am getting the same error "the username or password for "[email protected]" is incorrect". This is ONLY my work e-mail, my personal is still working fine on all 3 devices (which leads me to believe it's Gmail with the problem, not my devices). Not sure what to do and google does not have a support phone # or e-mail that i can find. If anyone can help that would be awesome.

Cannot Get Mail - gmail

As of this morning my email gives the following message: "Cannot Get Mail The user name or password for "Gmail" is incorrect"
I have:
1) re-input the user name and password.
2) powered the phone off and back on
3) deleted the account and re set up gmail from scratch
4) confirmed that the user name and password work on the computer
5) sync'd my iphone with itunes
All result with the same error. I have seen one posting that says there is a solution, however the solution was that gmail just started working again.
Anyone actually found the reason/solution for this?

Go to this link - and unlock the account.
This is a known issue - no resolution yet.

HT2480 Ipad mini - exchange email stopped working randomly Error: "Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed."

I got an iPad mini over Christmas and have had no issues setting up/managing my email until yesterday. I've had my Exchange email working for almost a month, and yesterday I stopped getting emails and getting the error: "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed."
I tried resetting the device (multiple times) and deleting and recreating the Exchange account (multiple times). This is getting annoying because it worked fine up until yesterday. I'm not aware of any updates to the device, or any changes that have occurred since yesterday.

Due to a screen issue, I had my iPhone 5 replaced two days ago. I repeated deleted the mail account and kept adding it but this did not make any difference. When I attempted to setup the new phone with my Google (Gmail via exchange active sync) accounts I was receiving this same "Cannot Get Mail" error. From what I was able to gather, this problem should be affecting Gmail accounts set up via Exchange. When originally purchasing the phone I was assisted and directed to set up my Gmail account through Exchange because it had the ability to use "ActiveSync" and push not only mail and calendars, but all of my contacts as well. I found this article regarding the subject.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2413283,00.asp
What it came down to was having to delete my Gmail via Exchange account and separate it into two different accounts, a regular gmail account for my mail and a CardDAV account for my contacts.
Here is what I did. Google is changing their system and for new registrars Exchange ActiveSync will not work so you will be unable to register your account via Exchange and have your mail, calenders, and contacts all pushed together. I find this change really annoying. If you are having problems accessing your contacts after deleting the mail account, like I was, here is the work around.
To circumvent this issue go to Setting > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CardDAV Account: Under server ender google.com, then your email user name and password, then click next to verify the information.
I hope this helps.
