Google Apps (paid) cannot get mail

I pay for Google Apps for Business, which includes sync. It has worked great on my 4S and iPad. My Google Apps dashboard has enabled all mobile devices. Today I got a 5S and when I set it up (correctly) I keep getting the dreaded "Cannot get mail. Connection to the server failed." message. I am losing my mind, have tried everything but it wont work and I am forced to set it up as a regular free gmail account (no sync, no push email) instead of an Exchange account. To repeat, I pay for Google Apps for Business. Please folks I am desperate!

  • Mail.app pops up saying "Cannot get mail" but the emails are downloaded normally....

    mail.app pops up saying "Cannot get mail: The user name or password for "iCloud" is incorrect", that is not true because i can log in on iCloud.com with the same credentials setted in mail.app. But the strange thing is that i can get the email! Let me explain: mail.app download the emails normally but when it check for incoming mail and there are no one, the alert pops up.
    This is not a critical issues, i can get the emails anyway, but that alert is really annoying.
    I've alredy changed the password of my appleID to a new one, but nothing changed.
    Has anyone had the same problem and managed to solve it?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    Hello echo1946
    Start with the first article to troubleshoot the issue of not getting mail on your iPad. When you get online using safari, check to see if you can log into webmail. Also keep in mind, depending on the account that mail sometimes might not come in if it is a POP account as it may have already been download elsewhere.

  • IPod touch 4 said cannot get mail, unable to connect to server. Tried turning off, tried deleting email

    WWhat can I do to get my email working? had been working fine yesterday. Today would not get email, said "cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed. " Shut off, back on, didn't work. Deleted email account, added back, didn't work and now has nothing for the email at all. Any ideas?

    Same problem here, also as of this morning. "Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed". I am a paid google apps exchange user.

  • Cannot get mail password incorrect?

    Cannot get mail password incorrect even though I submit correct password?

    I happened to stumble upon the answer. I would imagine a lot of other Gmail users are going to have this problem soon so here is the answer.
    Gmail has just recently changed their security settings and they use what they're calling a "2-step verification" process. Because of this, certain apps like iOS Mail cannot verify passwords because they can't use the same process.
    To fix this, Gmail now provides something called an "app specific password" that will be generated by Gmail and will allow iOS Mail to verify your Gmail account.
    To set this up, go into your Gmail account settings on the Google website and click on privacy. Set up the 2-step verification process and it should be self explanatory from there.

  • 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.

    Hi StuNYC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that  cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

  • Cannot get mail error: please help! :/

    Everytime I click on my mail app on my iphone 4, I get the "cannot get mail, connection to the server failed". I have deleted the account before and it fixes it temporarily only to happen again in the future. What is going on?

    Start with these two support articles. Try everything in both. If you still have no success, post back and try to be very specific about steps that you worked through, what happened, etc.

  • Email error - "cannot get mail"

    Hi,
    Just hoping for a little help!
    We recently had an email account disconnected by our provider in error (we changed from a mobile Internet connection to home ADSL & requested an email retention, which didn't happen!)
    After weeks of dealing with our incompetent provider we have finally got the email address reconnected however I am unable to get it to work on any of our devices (iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 3, or home laptop). The account is definately active as emails are accessible through the providers website. The email address is an "additional mailbox" to the primary mailbox connected with the adsl.
    The email address worked fine on our devices & laptop prior to the disconnection.
    With the reconnection our provider advised we had to change the email settings to now be a pop3 account and provided the relevant details regarding servers, ports etc.. These details are exactly the same as the primary email address I have set up on all devices and which works perfectly.
    I have tried deleting the account and re-adding, I have rebooted the devices and have double triple checked the settings. Still nothing! I just receive an error message saying "cannot get mail. The username or password for "pop3.xxxx.com" is incorrect."  Though, I know the password is correct as its the same one we use to log in to the mailbox on our providers website and access the email.
    Would anyone have any insight as to why only this particular email address can not be added to the devices "mail app"??  I love the ease of being able to just tap the mail icon and see all my different email accounts. I'd prefer to not have to manually login to our providers website to access mail on one account.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    B

  • 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.

  • Exchange 2003 SP2: 'Cannot get mail' - another one...

    Background info:
    I am running a budget exchange system, much like other small businesses out there. I have a self signed cert from an internal CA that i have installed on the exchange server and installed on the iphone. I dont get any cert errors when I log into OWA or OMA with SSL from safari on the phone so it would seem the cert is installed properly.
    The only thing that likely differs from my environment is that we have a dynamic IP and use a pop3 connector to download pop3 email into the respective recipients mailboxes from a cheap pop provider and hence we dont own our own domain, instead we use dyndns.org to to update dns records (which works flawless/seemlessly)for us when our dynamic IP changes. So our email addresses are [email protected] while our owa/oma address is a totally different domain - comapnyname.domain2.com. I cant image that this would matter but I figured I would put it all out there anyway.
    I have run this test numerous times:
    https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/
    and my server passes with flying frigging colors, I just have to enable the ignore trusts option as our cert is signed by an internal CA (like I said, budget).
    So, WM devices, entorage, and outlook with rpc over https all work flawlessly. But this FRIGGING iphone wont. I get through the exchange configuration just fine using various settings. I have tried it with and without the domain option, and I have tried entering the username with and without the DOMAIN\username.
    Every possible combination goes through fine, in the setup. Then I end up with the same result. After the setup finishes, I go to the inbox for the exchange account and it says up-to-date with no items. no contacts or calendar items download either. After a while, if i go back into the same inbox I get the "Cannot get mail" error.
    I have been googling this for days and I have yet to find a solution. Not to mention I, myself, am an MCSE w/ messaging and I have yet to come up with a solution on my own. My server works fine, nothing wrong there - it works with every device but this iphone. The only solution I have seen so far is to pay 175 bucks to one of these iphone messaging specialists to have them fix it, which isnt happening. Any advice you guys may have would be great... thanks.

    I have used my iPhone with 2003 SP2 and self signed certs. I am trying to understand more about your domain names - you say you don't own your domain, but then you say you are using Dyndns.
    I want to assume that you do own the domain name, just not a static IP to go with it. If the IP changes frequently, push will not work very well.
    If you are using a self-signed cert then you MUST import the root cert that did the signing. This a the public part - not the private key. If OWA and Exchange are different domains then they have different root certs.
    If you can hit the Exchange server domain via IE, you can view certs, then save the root. Then email the root to the phone (using gmail or some pop3 account) and import it. That will fix any cert issues.
    I mention this, as you don't mention anywhere that you have imported the signing certs root.
