Exchange Emails over WiFi

For the last 3 days or so, I'm not able to get my exchange emails over wifi on my mac and iPhone 5 (mail app). The home wifi is working just fine as i'm able to connect and get all the other mails from gmail and hotmail but when it comes to my exchange account, I get an error 'can't connect due to network error'.
Although, I'm able to get my exchange emails over cellular data connection both on my mac and iPhone. Please suggest.

Hi Razmee,
Thanks for the reply. I've tried that but my IT guys are a nocturnal bunch of grumps. It's not officially a work appliance, therefore not officially their problem. The fact I spend my own dollars to improve my efficiency and contactability is lost on them.
Cheers

  • Can't get email over wifi at home, but can at work.

    Okay, I think this is a problem with settings on my time capsule, but I can't figure out what. On my iPhone 5 and wife's iPad I can get email over the cellular network and over wifi at work. I can't get email over wifi at home, get a can't connect to server error. Also had a friend, who uses the same ISP, try with his android phone - same error, but works over wifi at his house. Since I can get email over cellular and wifi at work, I'm fairly confident that I have the server settings correct. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Was facing a similar issue with my friend's iPad (Latest one). Forcing the DNS Server to 8.8.8.8 (I think Google's DNS servers) fixes this issue. I had faced something similar on my iMac a long time back. Something a little strange about how Apple products do a DNS lookup? Not sure if it is an issue with the response time of the DNS servers as well..
    In any case, the good news was changing it to 8.8.8.8 worked.. Luckily the iPad's network configuration tool allows you to navigate to the pane where you can see the DHCP supplied IP addresses and just go to the DNS field, delete what was present there and force it to this address.
    The difficulty in coming to this conclusion was the fact that the browser works fine for all the sites we had tried. It is mostly the apps that had trouble, and the App store also was inconsistent in reporting details..

  • Email over wifi at work

    I'm having some issues getting email to work on my iphone over wifi. When I am at home, everything works using my wireless network. When I'm at work however, Safari, Youtube and Google Maps work great (really fast actually)...however my email (which is set up for gmail) won't connect to the server.
    Basically it stays stuck on "checking for mail". Sometimes it will stay there indefinitely...other times, after a few minutes, it will give a message about the connection to pop.gmail.com failing. It also won't send email. It stays stuck on "sending..." for a few minutes then says "Cannot Send Mail. The connection to the server smtp.gmail.com" failed."
    The main difference between my wireless network at home and at work is that in order to use the internet on my iphone at all at work, i first have to go to an internal website in safari and enter a user name and password. I did ask one of our IT guys and he told me that wireless account is in the DMZ so it shouldn't be blocking any of the ports.
    I don't get much (usually none at all) signal for at&t in my office. However, if I go somewhere that I get signal and turn off the wifi, everything works fine. It sort of sounds to me like it's trying to use EDGE just for email, but really I have no clue.
    Any ideas?

    Man was I glad to find your post. I have been having the exact problem since yesterday using Network Sharing (wifi) from my imac to both my iphone and mbp. I thought it was a .mac problem because they have been having issues and .mac is the only mail account I have on iphone and mbp.
    I had been using it successfully with all options checked in the advanced pane of the firewall settings, that is udp, logging, and stealth. So when I saw your post I turned off the firewall, sent a test mssg, and it worked. Turned firewall back on, sent another test mssg, and it still worked. Then it stopped working again! I posted in the ".mac on your desktop forum" earlier today and sent two mssgs to support.
    I only recently learned of Network Sharing and was glad I wouldn't have to get an airport base station just to share wifi with my (then only) MBP. But with this and the fact that Network Sharing only allows WEP and not WPA I guess I will have to shell out the bucks.
    Could Network sharing have a limitation of just one device? I never had a problem until I got the iPhone and started using it in addition to the MBP to receive wifi from my imac.
    Basically it stays stuck on "checking for mail".
    I get this with a home network where I'm using a
    computer's built Airport as a wireless router (WiFi)
    to share an ethernet internet connection (personal
    web sharing). It turns out I can only get email on
    the iPhone when the built-in Firewall is turned
    off...not acceptable. I probably need to enable some
    port, but enabling the available ports with the
    built-in firewall does not help. Also found UDP
    traffic cannot be blocked to get web access at all.
    Might need a more sophisticated firewall, but will
    probably just get a dedicated wireless router
    (Airport) and then things should work ok. If that
    makes sense...

  • Can only send email over wifi?...

    Anybody have any clues why this would happen? I get a message that the server is not responding if I try to send an email on the 3g network (Orange, France) but it works fine once hooked up to wifi. Sending an identical email at the same time with the computer over wifi goes through so it's not a timing issue.

    Could be that you using your ISPs SMTP

  • IPhone 5 cannot send SMTP email over wifi

    I am having trouble sending smtp email using port 587 over wifi, when the device has wifi off it sends just fine. The same issue occurs with my iPad as well. Issue occurs on multiple wifi connections. when i use a iPhone4 it connects and sends just find over wifi. Is this a known issue with 6.1 or iPhone 5 in general? the issue started about 2 months ago for both devices and there were no changes made to wifi network.

    If your connecting from outside your mail server network you might need to authenticate
    Check your smtp settings
    Have a look at your mail setting and compare to the device that's working

  • IOS4, MS Exchange Email and Wifi???

    None of my MS exchange emails were coming to my iPhone 3GS (with iOS4) yesterday. Today I turned off wifi through Settings (when I was at my office) and now I can receive my MS exchange emails - through 3G and Edge.
    Then I turned off 3G in settings and although slower, I did receive MS exchange emails.
    Hummmm.... I wonder if this is AT&T or Apple trying to get us to use 3G or Edge exclusively to increase our Data usage?? Since we don't have to pay for wireless Data...... Or could MS exchange be holding out upgrading their software?
    Now I will test my bosses' new iPhone 4 to see if I can "fix" her MS exchange email issue by turning off wifi.....

    I'm having the same problem. eMail messages are downloaded, I can see that happen. However, the eMail messages are not in my iCloud Inbos. Nor do the eMail messages go to my gmail Inbox. Strangely most, but not all eMails, can be found in gmail folder "Important".
    I also had the same problem with Mobile Me, unfortunely at that time I did not have a gmail account. Those missing eMails from the Mobile Me Inbos were never recovered.

  • Can't send email over wifi

    I can receive email over wi-fi, but not send. It works fine over 3G. It's a pop account.  Any help is appreciated.

    Who is the email account provider for this email account and does the account have an authenticated SMTP server - authenticated with a user name and password as is required to check for any receive email?

  • Cannot receive email over WiFi on some networks with Z10

    I am experiencing some issues with Z10s and recieving emails on certian wireless networks.
    The phone connects to the networks properly and can access the internet through WiFi, but email messages do no flow when connecting to some wireless networks.
    The phone is connected through a BES10 server and works poperly over the cellular data and some wireless networks, but it seems that certian networks it will not connect.  I run one of the networks that they cannot connect from.
    Any insight on this issue would be great.
    Also iphones, older Blackberries, andriod devices all work correctly on this wifi network.  It is only the z10 that does not.
    Thanks.

  • Can't access email over wifi with iPhone 5, iPod Touch, or iPad

    All was working fine, then suddenly stopped.  Get message "Cannot Get Mail The connection to the server failed.", followed by "Cannot Get Mail The mail server "imap.yahoo.com" (or "imap,gmail.com) is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings." message.  Email works on cellular connection on iPhone; not an option on iPad or iPod Touch.  I've tried verifying settings, resetting all devices, deleted and reinstalled email accounts (yahoo and gmail).  No luck.  Any suggestions?

    I got this error for my Gmail, and Hotmail accounts but not for my Exchange account at work. It seems to be a problem on Apple's side since it affects multiple mail systems.

  • Email over wifi

    Hi
    I was in a pub recently with free wifi, so I browsed a few web pages no problem, then decided to check my sky email which is setup up in messaging on my N95-8Gb. The email application said to disconect and re-connect, which is a bit of a pain. So after disconnecting I tried to reconnect under the sky account in messaging but it wouldnt' work, perhaps because the pubs free wifi needs a login. This is the first time that I started thinking that perhaps the iphone is better...
    Just wondered if I am doing something wrong or perhaps it really isn't that good ??
    Cheers
    Steve
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It is because of the forced login page.  The iphone would have had the same issues so it's no better in this situation. Some of the free wi-fi's are also strictly internet only, email is blocked.
    You will have to use web based email, such as skys website to check email though wi-fi that forces a log in page. If that is not a an option you will either have to use free wi-fi that doesn't force you to log in or pay your provider for a data tariff.
    Was it Burnley weatherspons by any chance?

  • Droid maxx won't send email over wifi

    My maxx has stopped sending email messages while connected to wifi.  Incoming messages work fine.

        Marms37,
    Oh no! Sorry to hear that your device isn't sending emails. When did this start? Let's get you back up and running. Have you tried to remove the email account and then re-add it? What additional steps have you taken to try to get this working again? Keep us posted!

  • Ipad mini 3 can't sync with microsoft exchange email (iphone 6 can)

    I have an iPhone 6 and iPad mini 3 (verizon). Both are set up the exact same. At work, I am able access Microsoft Exchange email using the iPhone mail app with wifi. (I work underground and have no access to cell service) However, the iPad Mini will not allow me to access my email over wifi using the mail app.
    Here is the tricky part. 1)wifi works perfectly on the iPad Mini for all other functions (safari, other apps, etc.). 2)when I get home (or anywhere else) the iPad mini is able to access my work email without a problem. I am not using my cellular connectivity at home, so it has nothing to do with that.
    Nobody at work seems to be able to figure it out. Is it a MAC address issue, IP address or a blocked port? Help me please!
    All passwords and other settings are the same on the iPhone and iPad. Also, this is not a gmail exchange account. I already know that gmail does not support new exchange accounts. This is a work hosted email.

    Here is what I gather from my reading:
    -- delete you exchange account then re-configure.  Shakes things up.
    -- reboot device.
    -- re-install from backup.
    -- use microsoft outlook for ipad.  ( some business do not allow.  check.  Why? caches info on amazon cloud. ) You should try as a trial at least.
    2)when I get home (or anywhere else) the iPad mini is able to access my work email without a problem.
    VPN vs no VPN?  Would seem there is a diff here.
    Re-boot ipad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.  page 128 iPad user manual.
    force power down if the above give you trouble.
    Hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button. Ten seconds or more.  Hold until the Apple logo appears.
    more details on re-booting:

    Restore to factory settings by loading the latest version of ios that your machine will support:
       Do a full backup of your device.  Twice is best -- cloud and computer.

  • After upgrading to iOS 8.2 on iPhone 6, Exchange Push email does not automatically update over wifi. Ideas?

    After upgrading my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.2 this weekend, my Microsoft Exchange email accounts (I have two) is no longer being pushed automatically when connected to Wifi.  This was working correctly before the update and continues to work correctly when on 4G, but not Wifi.
    Troubleshooting steps taken:
    * Tested on and off wifi - issue is only when on wifi not when on 4G
    * Turned mail sync off and then back on again - did not make a difference
    * Rebooted phone - did not make a difference
    Other ideas?

    I was able to track this down not to the email updates but the notifications.  The 8.2 update turned off email notifications both when unlocked and locked.  I was able to resolve by turning the notifications back on.  Seems odd that an update would change notification settings.

  • TS3899 Our CEO has an iPhone and an iPad. Everytime he is at a specific airport (BWI) he is unable to send or recieve email over 4G or wifi. Everything else seems to work just fine over wifi or 4G LTE. Has anyone ever seen anything similar? is this malwar

    Our CEO has an iPhone and an iPad. Everytime he is at the Baltimore Washington Airport (BWI) he is unable to send or recieve email over 4G or wifi. Everything else seems to work just fine over wifi or 4G LTE. Has anyone ever seen anything similar? is this malware?
    Both devices are on Verizons 4G LTE network. Both devices do have some of the same APPS installed. Can this be a case of him connecting to a rogue wifi network of a hacker that may have installed malicious code on his devices when he connected? That would explain why only his devices have the same exact issue only at BWI airport.

    Something similar I've experienced. I was once having to use a AT&T hotspot and the iPad simply refused to access my mail via the mail app. But if I used safari I could get it.  So the internet was working, but my supposition is that something with the hotspot's firewall messes with mail exchange.
    next time your boss is at BWI, do you guys have a web interface? (for example if I wanted to access my work mail I could get them to set it up via the mail app and exchange, or I could go to a certain web address and access my mail that way via safari)
    He could try using safari and the web interface if you have it.
    If it's something in the hotspot's firewall I doubt it's anything that can be changed.

  • Cannot send email via wifi in Microsoft exchange.

    Ever since updating my iPad and iPhone to iOS6, I have not been able to send Microsoft Exchange email via my home wifi network.  It just sits in my outbox.  I have tried deleting the account and setting up again but no change.

    Hi ronaldosy,
    How about the work flow of Outlook or OWA on PC internally/externally?
    If only phone has this issue, I suggest ask ActiveSync Forum for help so that you can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:
