Gmail cannot connect

For some reason, when I'm connected via wireless (NOT WIFI), Gmail cannot connect. It keeps saying "bad user name or password". When I turn WIFI on and connect via that, Gmail / Mail has no problem logging in.
Is there a problem with Verizon's network (gee, who would guess that would happen...)

I am also having problems on my laptop. I can connect to any website accept for gmail. I always have it pinned in my tabs so I can see what it displayed last but it won't refresh or reconnect. The weird thing is I can access it from my Verizon phone. So why wouldn't I be able to connect using my Verizon wireless DSL? Have you had any epiphanies since you first posted this?

Are you able to load your Gmail account in Safari?

Playbook 2.0 cannot connect to Gmail

Well RIM BlackBerry Playbook 2.0 is here and it's dissapointing to learn that it is just as big a pile of %Y%# as 1.X.
Cannot set up Gmail through any of numerous different ways. (Gmail, IMAP, Exchange... you name it.) All different ways generate all different kinds of errors such as cannot connect at this or username and password is wrong.
It's really great to see we waited 8 months for nothing.
Anyone have any helpful ideas?

I cannot connect to my new google+ account using Firefox 6. When I try to access google+ I get a message that I need to update Firefox, which I have done twice. I can access gmail and everything else that google has to offer - I think. Please help.
Thank you

Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies
Deselect any checked boxes on the left then click OK.
If none of those boxes were selected, it might be a Safari extension causing the proxy dialog.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Maybe the mail server is down.

New gmail account on iPhone cannot connect using SSL

Hi,
I was having problems accessing the gmail server on my iphone so i deleted the account settings on the iphone and am creating a new one. However, the iphone tells me that it cannot connect using SSL. Has anyone had a similar problem? I don't want to setup the account without this basic security.

Hey milos321,
I'm not sure what caused the issue. I believe account may have been automatically locked because abnormal activity.

Cannot Connect to Google Calendar in Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences

I recently obtained a new Mac and am playing with Mountain Lion for the first time. I'm trying to add my Google Apps (custom domain, not @gmail.com) account to the Mail, Contacts & Calendars control panel. I was able to add Mail, Messages, and Notes without any issues, but it's refusing to connect to Calendars & Reminders. When I attempting connecting, it gives me an error...
A secure connection couldn't be established.
Click “Continue” to continue creating the account. You can edit the account later in Calendar preferences if necessary.
So I click "Continue" to... well, continue. Eventually, I've given this error:
There was a problem setting up the account.
Calendar couldn't discover the account settings for the CalDAV server “google.com”.
Just out of curiousity, I went into the Calendar app to directly add my Google account. Doing so also gives me an error:
Server with Secure Communication Unavailable
Your calendar account isn't on a server that can receive your calendar securely.
If a server isn't secure, others may be able to view your calendar information. To continue searching for your account on servers that may not be secure, and then set up the account if it's found, click Continue.
So I go ahead and click Continue. After waiting some more, I finally get the error...
No CalDAV servers were found for "google.com".
This message appears on the Account Settings sheet where you can add a CalDAV account. If I manually type in the Server Address here (https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user//www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user), Calendar claims it still cannot connect to a secure connection. This time, clicking Continue does add the account. (I'm assuming through a non-secure conncetion.) If I try to edit the Account Settings, it takes me to the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars control panel where Calendars & Reminders for my Google account is now selected.
I can only assume this is a weird bug with Mountain Lion, but needless to say, this is far from the "it just works" mentality I've been use to.
This was not an issue with iCal on Snow Leopard, which is what I'm coming from.

I was having similar issues and thought I would put down what solved my problem.
In "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" I didn't choose "Gmail" I used "Add Oter Account…" as previously mentiond.
Then I chose "Add a CalDav account"
Under User Name: I entered my entire gmail address
Under Password: I entered a new "Application Password" key as generated by Googles two step verification process.
Under Server Address: I tried to use just "google.com" and "www.google.com" neither of these worked - only errors. So I used the address as listed on Google Calender when clicking on settings for my main calendar. There is a link that will give you your calendars private address. I shortened it to:
www.google.com/calendar/ical/your_gmail_address_goes_here
Then it worked immediately!

IBooks says that it cannot connect to the iTunes store?

iBooks cannot connect to the iTunes store? If I go to iTunes, it will connect to the store. Any ideas?

This could be caused by several things. Please provide more details on how you are connecting to iTunes, i.e. WiFi or 3G. If WiFi is it your own home connection or a public one?
For example at work there is no real reason for me to connect my iPhone to the company WiFi because they have nearly everything blocked; iTunes, gmail, aol mail, yahoo mail, FaceBook, Twitter. Basically any of the Fun web sites. So if I feel the need to update an app while I'm at work I need to wait for lunch go down to the lobby and use the Starbucks WiFi Connection.
But if you are just having a problem connecting to iTunes you might try resetting your network connections, Settings => General => (Scroll to bottom) Reset => Reset Network Settings, wait for phone to restart and connect to the network.
This will just disconnect and reconnect you from your 3G provider and clear out all the junk that has built up in the network buffers. You will have to reenter your WiFi Passwords when you try to reconnect to them but you should have a cleaner connection.
You can also try restarting your phone. Press and HOLD both the Home button and the Power button on the top of the phone at the same time for about 10 - 20 seconds. When the Slide to Power Off screen appears CONTINUE to hold the buttons down. The screen will go black and then the apple logo should appear. When the logo appears release both buttons and wait for the phone to restart and reconnect to the network.
A quick option (Although not as effective as doing a Network Reset) is to turn on Airplan Mode, wait 15 seconds and turn it off. This breaks the connection with your network provider and then starts it up again. It just doesn't clean out all the stuff in the buffers, but you may get a better internet connection.

These apps might not be compatible with your 2700 even though it's installed.

N97 - Nokia Messaging msj: "Cannot connect to serv...

Hello everyone,
My name is Leonel and I´m from Argentina.
I bought my N97 - 3 by internet.
He fact is that i m trying to configure my Nokia Messaging with and IMAP account (job´s account)
In the past I have had configured this account on my device, but after a hard reset (due to firmware update) I can not make this account works (my Gmail and Hotmail account works perfectly)
I have checked all the fields like Incoming / outcoming port and server, mail, password, etc but the message always appear "Cannot connect to server"
I know that this account with the parameters i have put in the nokia mail web works perfectly since i have the same working in my PC (outlook express)
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Leonel.

Hi!
Thanks for your reply.
I will try to do what you said, but the i don´t think this will work.
I already have the nokia messaging on my device with 3 configured accounts: GMAIL / HOTMAIL / OVI MAIL.
The only one wich does not work is the IMAP account of my job (in the past, i had it full working on my n97 device, but as i said, after a full reboot, i try to configure again with no succes)
On the other hand, i am now trying what you said. Logining in email.nokia.com and making this page send me an sms to installa the Nokia Messaging on my phone again.
++
PD: For your information, when i try to configure my IMAP mail on the webpage ( http://email.nokia.com ) i fill in all the full blanks like incoming server, port, outcoming server, port, email, password, user, but after some seconds the webpage shows a message telling that it is not possible connect to the server. Try again later.
I do not know the reason, because i have this same this account configured in my oulook express (PC) with these same parameters, and works well.
Many thank again.
Best regards,
Leonel.

"Cannot Connect Usine SSL"

I got the above error when trying to add my gmail account with the new $20 upgrade mail app.
I have checked my settings in my gmail account and they have imap and pop enabled.
Has anyone else gotten this error? Any fixes?
Thanks

"Cannot Connect Using SSL" could also mean that it cannot do any SSL at all. Since I am expecting to use many open/public WLANs the use of SSL is really a must.
You could try creating a new Gmail account just for testing purposes. That should not interfere with any existing account or configuration. Otherwise, disable Gmail on the BB for a few hours and then try connecting again with the Touch. If the IMAP server is accessed from distinctly different IP address for the same account at the same time it may get confused (shouldn't, but you never know).

Cannot connect to a Customer Service

I cannot connect with a customer service. I am being charged today for calls I could not connect so 8 minutes of my subscription are gone because of technical issues. Am trying for over an hour to talk to someone via chat but to no avail. I filled 3 times all information and it says wait for the chat to start and nothing happens. This is beyond redicilous. I do not have time to stay here and solve nothing.
I came back to skype after many years in order to use the phone service but made a huge mistake. This is really bad. Wil go back to gmail voice.

Please follow the instructions to contact Skype customer service. When you reach the point to start th chat don't miss to click on the green "Start chat" button. Only then a new browser window with the chat is being opened. If that's not the case please check the popup blocker settings of your browser to allow those popups.

Emails are "stuck" in my Apple Mail Outbox. I have deleted the account and reinstalled but still have the problem. Apple's "Network Diagnostics" report that it cannot connect to the SMPT server.

Emails are l "stuck" in my Apple Mail Outbox. I have deleted the account and reinstalled but still have the problem. Apple's "Network Diagnostics" report that it cannot connect to the SMPT server. TalkTalk (Tiscali) say there is no problem with their server because I have checked and can send emails with their webmail.

No that is not it:
Open Mail>Preferences>Accounts, the first page has this on it
If you click on the server name in the box (gmail in your case I assume) it opens and reveals this:
If you select Edit SMTP Server list you get this:
Post it here and, select the Advanced Tab (which looks like this)
Post this page as well.
