HT1277 cannot get mail using imap

Since changing over to imap, I can only get my email by quitting mail and then restart it? It works fine on my iPhone. Anyone out there got some idea's??
Thanks in advance
Rob Moser

Did you change the Incoming server to...
Incoming Mail Server: imap.telus.net
Instead of the old...
Incoming Mail Server: pop.telus.net
Is there 2 entries for telus incoming server?
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995

    I doubt you are doing anything wrong. First day glitches 
    Reset the device.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • "Cannot Get Mail" using iPad WiFi but works with 3G

    I have a iPad 3G. Today I started have a problem reading my mail from Exchange. I get "Cannot Get Mail" when I use WiFi, but when I use my 3G (with the WiFi off) it works fine. I can do everything else on WiFi, and this is a new problem. I have already tried resetting the iPad and that didn't help. What do I do?

    This has worked for over a month and I just started having problems today. This afternoon, it was working every now and then over WiFi, but not consistently. Everything else works fine, so I don't think it is my ISP.

  • Cannot get Mail using a shared connection with a PowerBook

    This is one of them problems with lots of potential causes, but I have to start asking somewhere.
    I am in a temporary work location.  There is no wireless access available, but there is an available copper connection.
    I plug my trusty old G4 Titanium PowerBook into the ethernet and configure it to share the connection thru its AirPort Card to my iPad (original)
    I can get to web sites with iPad Safari, so that says that the connection is working, but the iPad Mail app cannot connect to anything.  It sits and spins and then says "The mail server "mail.whatever.org" is not responding.  Verify that you have entered the correct account info into Mail settings."
    I know the Mail info is correct because it will connect and operate with no problem when I am at home, connecting to my own AirPort network.
    Any ideas or suggestions ?

    The available ethernet is an open DHCP network, so I just set the Network/Ethernet to DHCP and everything there just works.
    Next I went to Sharing/Internet Sharing.  I set the "Share your connection" control to "Ethernet" and in the "To computers using" control, I selected "AirPort".
    In AirPort Options, I gave the network a name, set Channel to Auto, enabled WEP with a 40-bit key and set a password.

  • Cannot get mail via IMAP after security update 2015-002

    Since installing security update 2015-002 I cannot now receive emails via IMAP on my MacBook air running Yosemite. I am told that the username or password is incorrect, but I have not changed these. The mail server is working fine and I can receive via my iPAD. I can also send from my MacBook - just receiving that fails.
    Has anyone else had a problem?
    Thanks Julia

    I have trouble with sending e-mail and syncing e-mail. Try changing to 1 day sync under settings. It's sluggish but it works for me until they resolve the issue. MS claims all is normal. If you still have a problem you should report it here: https://status.live.com/report/hotmail

    Hi,
    Just wanted to say I found out the answer. I should have looked first to see if anyone else was having the same problem but I didn't. 

  • HT1430 I cannot get mail or send mail on my iPad message says username or password for imap.gmail is incorrect

    I cannot get mail or send email on my I pad message says username or password for imap.gmail is incorrect

    Be sure you use Google's settings from:
    https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960?hl=en&ref_topic=1669040#t s=1665018
    The key is to be sure you have enabled IMAP on your GMAIL account. Follow the instrunctions on that link. Then be sure to check the Advanced settings from:

  • HT1430 receiving message "cannot get mail. account ... is in use on another device"

    Phone does not receive email. Instead I receive message "cannot get mail. Account ... is in use on another device." No problem receiving mail on all other devices.

    It is not a problem that is solvable by anyone. It is the way POP works. Set the polling time on your computer to 10 minutes or more and it will happen much less frequently. But it will still happen. Any time your phone tries to retrieve mail while your computer is actively retrieving mail you will get that message.
    If your ISP does not offer IMAP service there isn't much you can do. Most don't BTW. I run a mail server that supports IMAP, and so does Yahoo, Microsoft, Google and Apple. But a lot of ISPs don't because either they want you to use webmail so they can track your usage or they don't like the fact that IMAP keeps the master copy of all mail on the server, so you will use much more storage than with POP.
    One option is to get a gmail account and set it to retrieve your ISP mail. The read your mail with gmail. Google even lets you reply using your ISP's email address as the return address.

  • TS3899 "cannot get mail" in iphone5 suddenly. been using iphone to check 2 email accounts for months now, one is gmail and not troubled. the other is thunderbird and i get this error message now. no settings have been changed or anything! ideas?

    hey all, I have been getting the "cannot get mail" error message on my iphone5 suddenly.
    ive been using iphone to check two email accounts for months now, one is gmail and not troubled. the other is mail from thunderbird and i get this error message now saying it is not responding. no settings have been changed or anything, it just suddenly stopped receiving mail on my device as of Tuesday afternoon.
    Does anyone have iny ideas about why? i have yet to update to the new OS7 yet, could that be it?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • HT4623 I have an IPhone4 S which when using Outlook suddenly displays the following warning: CANNOT GET MAIL.THE CONNECTION TO THE SERVER FAILED

    Hello,
    I bought a used Apple IPHONE 4S about 6 weeks ago. For all this past period, it was working beautifully. This morning, I started having poblems with connecting JUST on OUTLOOK or Hotmail and on Microsoft Exchange. All other programs, such as Gmail, Yahoo as well as other apps, such as Facebook, Whatsapp, Facetime, are ALL working properly.
    the One problem I am having is when I try to log onto my Outlook ( ex Hotmail) account, I get a window with the following warning:
    "CANNOT GET MAIL. THE CONNECTION TO THE SERVER FAILED"
    I have done everything to solve it from taking out the card to switching it off to resetting the network to deleting my account to re-starting ..NOTHING worked.
    PLEASE can you advise me what to do? The Network server was working great. So what happened and how can i fix it?
    Thank you
    Nina ...

    The issue isn't with Apple/iphone or your network.
    The issue is with Hotmail, there have been a ton of threads on this already with other user having issues.
    You'll have to wait until hotmail resolves the issue.

  • I can not use Safari because I get a server failure message. The same with email. Cannot get mail, server failure. How do I fix

    I Cannot use Safari to access my bookmarks, I get a server failure message. The same is happening with my email. I get a message cannot get mail, server failure. How do I fix the problem?

    It might be worth a shot to reset your router first. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Or try any other WiFi network and see what happens.

  • Cannot get mail. Account in use on another device

    AAll at once I receive the error message " cannot get mail. Account in use on another device" do you know how this can be as I have turned off all other devices that could have the account open.

    Jack-
    Just to be sure, change the password to your E-Mail account.  After a few days you can change it back if the problem doesn't go away.
