Gmail: Can't get mail? POP server failed?

My Yahoo mail comes up perfectly on my iPhone. My Gmail account searches for incoming mail but times out with the message, "Cannot Get Mail...The connection to the server "pop.gmail.com" failed." Now according to Apple this is self installing with just a few clicks for both Yahoo and Gmail. I don't even see a place to enter "pop" or "imap" settings?
Anyone?
Best Regards,
renman
ps: Anyone know how to get this new January download to their iPhone?

The new download is in iTunes just connect your iPhone and hit check for updates...
Also with the new one gmail automatically sets up as IMAP

I have an iphone 4. Cannot get mail. Server failed. How can I resolve this?

I have an iphone 4. When I go to my mail, I get a pop up that says "cannot get mail, server failed" how can I resolve this?

I guess he/she open Notes in Gmail settings. This archives (one way sync) notes in gmail account under notes label that is invisible if you are using the standard gmail setup on your iPhone. You can see it on desktop browser, Safari or gmail app in iDevice. Am I wrong?
Sorry for bad English.

Can't get mails from server anymore !!

Hi there,
I am using Mail 2.1.3 with Tiger 10.4.11 on a G5 bi pro, and since a couple of days, e-mails from one of my POP accounts are not downloaded from the webmail server any longer... I can see them on the server, Mail 2.1.3 logs in successfully, but it seems that it simply doesn't download them...
I have rebuild and re index all boxes already.
I can send mails from that account with no problems, though and Mail 2.1.3 works fine with my others POP accounts.
Can anybody help me on that issue ?
Thank you very much.
Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S165)
G5 Power PC 2 x 1.8 GHz

I'm not aware of any limits. Before we do anything & to be safe...
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Then, we can either trash the above file & setup Mail on running it again to exactly what we have now, or not trash it but in Mail Preferences>Accounts>Advanced... uncheck enable this account & uncheck Include when checking for new Mail.
Then setup a new Account identical to the problem one with only some slight change to the Description that must be unique.

can't get mail since wednesday... the connection to the server failed. why?

Are you connected to wifi?

I get a message the message " Can not get mail. Not connected to server" Yet I am connected with Wi-fi and can access all other websites. Can you advise? My iPad is only a month old!

Has any one experienced not being able to send mail and only receiving some? I get the message " can not get mail. No connection to the server! " Yet I get some mail but can not send out any. My iPad is only 1 month old! It worked perfectly for about 10 days.
Thx
Agnes

Hey agnesfromcopenhagen k,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Mail on your iPad. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps. What kind of account are you using? Some internet providers require that you be connected to your home Wi-Fi (or for work accounts, inside your corporate Wi-Fi/firewall). Also, some email accounts require two-step authentication. For more information, see this resource:

Since upgrading iMac to osx lion I have been experiencing problems in mail, it spontaneously stops receiving and tells me it can't find the pop server and also the biggest problem is that when I send with an attachment the recipient doesn't receive it.

Since upgrading iMac to osx lion I have been experiencing problems in mail, it spontaneously stops receiving and tells me it can't find the pop server and also the biggest problem is that when I send with an attachment the recipient doesn't receive it.
I have to restart mail most times before it starts recieving or recognizes the pop server.
As I said a lot of recipients do not recieve my mails when there is an attachment or when I reply to their email.

Basically the message is saying the phone can't talk to the place where your email is stored for some reason. This could be an incorrect username/password, or some other issues. Follow the steps in this article and see if they help:

Can't get Mail working properly

I just got my new MacPro this week, and it's really great except for I can't get Mail working right. I've set up my accounts and a few emails come through, though not many, and because it's been a week since I've been online, there should be many more than that. Also, I can't send any emails at all, no matter what I do. They will eventually go into my Sent box, but I've been sending them to myself to see if it's working, and they never come through. I spent an hour on the phone yesterday with the tech support for my ISP, and they told me that I'd have to talk to the Apple techs because they didn't have current info for *Mail 3.1*, the version I have, that the latest they had was for 2.something. So I called the Apple tech support and spent 2 hours on the phone with them, and they weren't able to help me get it going correctly either. It keeps giving me error messages such as Connection Failed, or Unable to Receive Mail, saying "there may be a problem with the mail server or network" and that "the connection to the server on ... port has timed out." I'm on DSL and am always online, so I know it's not the internet connection that's the problem. Can anybody give me some advice on what I should try? Any help will be gratefully appreciated!

Is your ISP Verizon, Demon, or Glocalnet, then it might be Apples biggest Leopard Bug in conjunction with these ISP:s POP-servers.
The one that randomly changes the settings in "advanced" from "password" to "APOP".
The visual result of this bug is that you will get a popup-box where Mail asks you to enter your password. (Which is useless entering, since the preference settings are changed.)
My advice counts only when you are supposed to use "password" as the correct setting in "Advanced" and in conjunction with some ISP:s.
