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:

    Sometimes, you have to go deeper into the settings and check the outgoing mail server setting as well, especially, if you cannot send mail.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional

    This has nothing to do with iPhoto. When I have this type of problem I call tech support for my email service. They probably are the only source of the correct settings

    imap.gmail is the Google mail server. It doesn't recognize the password that is stored in the iPhone. The problem is that the password or email address you have in Settings for the gmail account is wrong. If you changed the password somewhere else that is the reason. You need to go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, tap on the gmail account and enter the correct password. You also need to change it for outgoing mail in Settings.

    How long has it been going on? I've had my yahoo mess up and if i wait a bit it resolves itself. Yahoo is doing something with their servers and it messes with your mail if your mail happens to be on one of those servers.

    The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

    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.

  • HT1694 Still getting error: "cannot get mail   the connection to the server failed"  please help, for ipad 1; for hotmail account

    cannot get my hotmail email with an ipad, get a connection to server failed error.  I have tried to delete and install the email with area on settings, did not change.  This email did work in the past until today,
    Thanks in advance

    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.

  • 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.

  • Cannot Get Mail Sending to Work

    I cannot get Mail to work for sending on my other computer. (The one I keep using because my Canon scanner drivers work there but not on a "modern" system. Boo to Canon for not updating drivers for 10.6.)
    I keep getting these server messages. What's my problem? The port number? What should it be?

    I have a message sitting in the outgoing box. When I try to send it I get:
    Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator.
    The server response was: 5.7.1 Relaying not allowed: [email protected]
    You can try to send using a different server. All messages will use this server until you quit or change your network settings.
    Below that I have three server choices: smtp.me.com, smtp.me.com:dennis briskin, and smtp.me.com:[email protected] The last one should not work in any case, I believe.
