Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed. iPhone 3GS & Hotmail

I've got an iPhone 3GS and I'm using Hotmail.
I'm geting the same error message over and over - "Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed.". Out of the blue it started on my phone, but then the email worked again for a day after, and then quit working again. I've tried deleting and adding it as a new account. I tried to go back to what might have in-part caused the problem, and the only thing I had done over the weekend was to turn iCloud on and start backing up to it, but the e-mail did work after that for a couple days. I've tried a couple different Hotmail accounts to see if it was a corrupt e-mail in one account, but both accounts give me the same "Cannot Get Mail" response. Creating the "TEMP" folder on Hotmail and moving e-mails there did not work.
Could anyone spell out in layman's (non-IT) terms what I might be able to try?

Who is the provider? Do you have two-step verification turned on? Did they change something on their end?

Since using Maverick OS, I cannot quit mail without "force-quit".

Since I downloaded and started using Maverick OS, I cannot quit Mail without using the "Force-Quit..." command. The "Quit Mail" command under the Menu is greyed out.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You can also force quit apps using Activity Monitor located in HD > Applications > Utilities.
Select the CPU tab.
Select Mail under Process Name.
Select Mail then click the force quit icon (circle with an x) top left side of the Activity Monitor window.

Since upgrade to iOS 7 Email error on over 100KB emails "Cannot Send Mail The message was rejected by the server because it is too large." Connecting to Exchange via Activesync

Hi,
Following the upgrade to iOS 7.0.3 on all our iPhone and iPad devices, it has been identified that when sending emails around 100KB in size and over an error message appears on the device stating “Cannot Send Mail The message was rejected by the server because it is too large.” See error message below. The send/receive limit is over 10MB so this is not the issue.
We are in an Exchange Environment using Microsoft Activesync. This issue is not evident in iOS 6. This has been tested on an iPhone 3GS running version iOS 6.1.3. We have been unable to repeat the issues seen on iOS 7 on the older OS. It is not possible to roll back to the older operating system as Apple are no longer signing the software.
We use Microsoft Active Sync to connect to our Exchange servers through a TMG. The issue is very inconsistent, some identical emails go through, some fail. This is not an issue with the send/receive limit as this is over 10MB. The error message when it fails on the TMG is Status: 413 Request Entity Too Large, which we believe is from IIS on the CAS server.
Does anyone have any suggest course of actions to take?
Many Thanks

This resolution have to attend at the server not with the ios device. My employer's mail administrator reject me to correct it from the server. As his concern is, if ither ios devices works why don't mine? So I am helpless than changing my iphone. It works fine for early versions of ios and with androids. And also one of my friends iphone4 with ios 7 (similar as mine) works too. So I guess it's something wrong with my iPhones settings. But basic question I cannot understand is it works in my phone before this ios7 upgrading. And currently working with my yahoo account too. Favourable reply expected.

I keep getting an error pop-up when I try to access my email. The pop-up says Cannot Get Mail The connection to the server failed. I get this pop-up on both my iPhone 5 and my iPad. I can still access my email, but the pop-up is real annoying.

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.

Is anyone getting this message when trying to access Yahoo Email? "Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server failed?"

Is anyone getting this message when trying to access Yahoo Email? "Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server failed?"

I have Yahoo mail (POP) account. Mine is working fine at present. I do occasionally get asked for password while sending mail. I have had your issue in the past and it usually clears up in a few hours. Sometimes I sign out and then back in and it starts working again.

My iMac won't let me shut down. It gives me a message to quit mail. When I try to quit mail, the quit tab isn't highlighted so can't quit mail. What can I do?

My computer gives me an error message that "mail" won't let me shut down, and to "quit" mail in order to shut down. When I go to "quit" mail, the "quit" tab isn't highlighted so won't let me click on it. How can I shut down?

Force Quit the Mail. Apple Symbol in the upper left of the display - Force Quit - Select Mail and then restart the computer.

What does Cannot get mail The connection to the server failed mean?

How can I access my mail - when I try a messages stating 'Cannot get mail - The connection to the server failed'
I dont know what to do!

Usually there is not a password, SSL is set wrong, the server name is wrong, or the Port is wrong.
Go toSettings > Mail, Contacts,Calendars, then the Mail Account and see if the Incoming Server is some form of STP server specified, then that a password is set, and the if that is all correct go to Advanced and see how SSL is set.

Other users have been reporting Yahoo mail problems that are not iPad problems. Might be something to try on these links.

I too am getting this message. I have been using my iPad for two years with no problems but a couple of days ago I starting having this problem intermittently. I have restarted the iPad when that did not work I deleted the account and reloaded it. Nothing seems to work. I was having the same problem on my iPhone but that seems to be OK today. Any other ideas?
