Email problem-cannot add new account,IMAP not responding

My emails were working good on my ipad3, but all of sudden it stopped to receive emails, just kept loading. I have two accounts: gmail and yahoo. Neither of them are working. I deleted both account and tried to add back in. But I got the error message said "cannot connect with SSL, would you like to try without SSL?" I chose yes and it said " IMAP is not responding. Check your Internet connection and that you enterred the right information in the incoming mail server"
I searched on the Internet and found out many people are having this problem, I tried all kinds of solutions including shutting down the iPad, verify gmail setting, Check outgoing mail server... But none of those worked for neither of the two email accounts, and I still cannot add any email account on my iPad.
Can someone help me with this please? It's so frustrated :(

Nvm, it works now

When setting up iCloud on iPad you cannot have a primary iCloud account unless it has an email address .
Made new account as per instruction ie [email protected] works fine
BUT as I want to utilise the money spent on the additional memory it would be great to use the initial account set up as my primary HOWEVER as far as I have tried the initial apple ID CANNOT be changed. Bit confused actually any usefull guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Mac mail will not add new accounts

Hi,
Recently I added two new email accounts to my mac Mail
Then the account started acting weird a few days ago—not letting me email myself (to a gmail account), refusing to put the email in the address field.
Thats the email associated with my computer, User ID.
Then it would no longer let me add new accounts in the preferences.
I would click the '+' sign, to add a new account, or choose it from the file options... Nothing. Nothing would happen.
It would let me delete accounts, but not add new ones.
I've tried EVERYTHING to fix this problem. I dragged the mail files out and trashed them, upgraded from snow leopard to lion and tried to reinstall the Mail package software — same problem. Finally, I deleted the user account on my Macbook Air — still the same problem with new Users.
When the Mail application opens, and guides me through the introduction, I can add one email address ONLY, then nothing else.
What gives?
Can anyone offer advice?
I have a Macbook Air and Lion, 10.7.

Does anyone have similar experiences?

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL:
imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS:
smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name:
your full email address (including @gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Email Address:
your full Gmail email address ([email protected]) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Password:
your Gmail password
The Quick Answer
Follow the instructions below to set up IMAP1 access in most email clients.
Google Apps users, please follow the default instructions unless otherwise noted, replacing 'your_domain.com' with your actual domain2 name.
this is all greek to me. WHAT IS STARTTLS? On the first page of Apple set up there is a TLS certificate and it is marked NONE- should I change it to the long APPLE CERT option? The next page under ADVANCED: THERE IS A BOX SSL MARKED. Then IMAP Path Prefix - I put stmp.gmail.com.. is that right? Port 993 can use this one? as 456 doesn't work and 587 said it wasn't safe. Under AUTHENTICATION I used PASSWORD. Should I have used external client cert TLS?
Please help me set this up securely. Thanks

Cannot add new mail Account or iCal account

When I try to add a new Mail account (press " + " on the Mail -> Preferences -> Account tab) it temporarily darkens but nothing happens. Pressing "+" in iCal -> Preferences -> Accounts does not have an effect either.
Unlike in the case of other posters neither Mail nor iCal crashes. It just simply does not respond. At present I have two Mail accounts (created in an earlier version, probably Tiger) and no iCal account.
So far I have tried the following:
1) Press "Add account ..." in the File menue instead of pressing the "+" button. Result: No effect.
2) Use disk utility to repair permissions. Result: No effect.
3) Quit Mail; Move ~/Library/Mail, ~/Library/Mail Downloads, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist to the Desktop; Restart the Computer; Open Mail. Result: New Mail folders are created in ~/Library, a new com.apple.mail.plist is created. My .me account information is automatically recognized but I still cannot create another account, even not my second account that worked before.
4) Create a new user. Result: For the new user I can create at least 3 Mail accounts.
Obviously there is something wrong with my current user account, though I am not aware of any other symptoms. Any ideas how this can be repaired?

Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. This will not affect your data. The phone will reboot.

HT201320 I'm unable to click my mail setting, add new account,clouds ?? All seem grey :(

Hi,
can anyone tell me what's wrong with my emails options , as i can't change the setting of emails, all are grey even the clouds , the add new account ?? Everything is grey

If you use iCloud as well, you can try adding it back to your accounts as well. I have 7 email accounts (including iCloud and a Yahoo account) in mail on my iPhone and iPad and have no problems with them. I suspect it was not removing iCloud that fixed your problem, it was the re-entering the Yahoo account login credentials (maybe they just got corrupted - could be as simple as that).
If you do add iCloud back, and it causes problems right away with your Yahoo, then you should send a ticket in to the iCloud support folks as that would seem to be something not working correctly?

Also if you actually deleted the iCloud account, remember you can keep the account, and just disable it for mail in the iCloud settings (so you can keep using iCloud for other features even if you do not want to use iCloud mail).

Cannot add new items to a value list in AW database

I have a database which I have been using for many years. One of the fields is a value list. I just went to add another item to the list, and no matter what I do, the Create button is grayed out. I have another value list in the same database that works fine.
There are currently 170 items in the value list that is causin the problem, but I didn't think that there was a limit to the number of items that can be is a value list. (At least there is nothing in the AW technical specifications to indicate thin. I duplicated the existing database, deleted about 20 items from the list, then saved the file, and reopened it, and still cannot add new items to that value list. Does anyone know what might be causing the problem?

Oops
I read too fast.
Here is a short script which may help.
Replace the pop-up item by a text one and edit the property myList in my script to fit your needs.
Select the field to fill and run the script.
Then choose an item in the displaid list. It will be pasted in the selected field.
This trick would give you to work with a "no limit" list of items.
-- [SCRIPT DB fillFieldFromAlist ]
Assuming that
the front document is a database one
and that a text field is selected,
run the script to select an item in a list
and paste it in the field.

Cannot Add New Form Fields

I'm troubleshooting a problem with an existing pdf document in our office. Though I install Acrobat I do not use it on a daily- hence my asking for assistance. The computer is an Optiplex 745 running WIN XP Pro SP 2 with all updates.
The doc is a 42 page human resources document that has both scanned and original (made in Word/Acrobat) pages. Though I can edit existing fields/boxes, I cannot add new ones. I can select "add fields", click and drag seeing the crosshairs and field/box area, but when I let go, nothing happens. No new field and no erorr messages.
I've checked the security- it's wide open (no security) and layers- it has none or only one. The user who reported the problem is using Acrobat 5.x, I've tested it in 5.x, and 9 (standard and pro) on my computer with no success. I've included screenshots of the doc info below in hopes that they might provide some clues as to the problem.
Thank you for any assistance that you may provide.

After discovering that the other primary user had a local copy of this form- I tried that in Acrobat 9 and it was editable. So it appears that it was the form itself.
I'm resaving the local document to the network drive (where the problem doc came from) and updating both primary users to Acrobat 9. One was using 5 the other 7. Hopefully that will prevent any further problems.
Thanks for your assistance.

Cannot add new selectors or edit existing CSS file with my Mac

I have just subscibed to Dreamweaver CC and I cannot add new selectors or edit the exisiting "main" css that comes with the tutorial. When asked to add selector a box appears but when I press enter/return twice it disappears. Also there is no option to edit existing properties. for example, to change a font color I pick color but there is no enter or "OK" option. I'm very puzzled and stuck.

The trial version of Dreamweaver is fully functional. The only limitation is that it stops working after 30 days. If you're having problems with getting the software to work correctly, it might be a good idea to try posting a question in the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum, mentioning the fact that you've already posted here (otherwise, they might just transfer you back to this or one of the other Dreamweaver forums).
If you can't make changes to files, it might have something to do with permissions or the user account that you've logged onto the computer with.
When asking for help in the other forum, mention your operating system, and which version you're using. The problem might be related to your computer setup.

Iphone 4s calendar events disappeared and I cannot add new events

I have an iphone 4s with ios 7. Suddenly all events I added on my calendar disappeared and I cannot add new events. The plus sign+ is there but it is light grey and will not activate. I do not sync it with any other calendar

What account were you using to sync your Calendar? Make sure that account is added to the device, and make sure that Calendars is turned on for that account.
Then, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and make sure that under the Calendar section that 'Sync' is set to 'All Events'.
Then go to the Calendar app, go to Calendars, and make sure that you have that account enabled.
Then, close out all the running apps on your device, and restart it.
Open up your Calendar app. Are your entries back?

Thunderbird is no longer able to connect to internet (sending/receiving email, updating, creating a new account,...Firefox connects well

Version 24.4.0 worked fine until yesterday (2014-04-06) running under windows 8.1 and suddenly it could no longer connetc to internet (sending/receiving email, updating, creating a new account,..). No change was done on my accounts configuration. Other applications connect correctly to internet. Some Windows 8.1 updates were automaticaly applied during the same period (??).
Any suggestion would be appreciate
Rgds

Thank you for your answer. Of course before posting I checked the differetn relmated topics..
As I explained nothing changed between the moment Thunderbird worked and the moment it stopped working. I checked the firewall (Norton intenet security) and the firewall of my router (Netgear). Nothing relates to Thunderbird.
I cans get my mail from another workqtation (ubuntu/evolution) with the same provider (same parameters). I just wonder if the last windows 8.1 updates could provoke this trouble...
For the moment I cannot get rid of this.

Turned on computer email said i needed new account when I have been using for years (no mail, drafts, sent)

Turned on computer email said I needed new account when I have been using for years (no mail, drafts, sent). I filled oyt new mail setup and it only found my mail not drafts and sent ... I use drafts to store documents and sent in a leser capacity - Ihave huge data in drafts. Tried to restore using time machine (never had to before). The backups are there but the restore button does not highlight??? So when you clickit nothing happens.

Restoring Mail is complex. Luckily, the late James Pond left us an illustrated guide:
You can restore the Mail messages and indexes to the way they were (provided you have a Backup from around that time)
