Why would you delete your iCloud account for a password change with your Yahoo account?
Regardless, if no problem re-creating your iCloud account on your iPad, contact Yahoo technical support.

Are the 2 copies in the Inbox downloading at the same time or separately?
Try re-indexing the mailboxes. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Cannot Get Mail - gmail

As of this morning my email gives the following message: "Cannot Get Mail The user name or password for "Gmail" is incorrect"
I have:
1) re-input the user name and password.
2) powered the phone off and back on
3) deleted the account and re set up gmail from scratch
4) confirmed that the user name and password work on the computer
5) sync'd my iphone with itunes
All result with the same error. I have seen one posting that says there is a solution, however the solution was that gmail just started working again.
Anyone actually found the reason/solution for this?

Go to this link - and unlock the account.
This is a known issue - no resolution yet.

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?

Email problem-cannot add new account,IMAP not responding

My emails were working good on my ipad3, but all of sudden it stopped to receive emails, just kept loading. I have two accounts: gmail and yahoo. Neither of them are working. I deleted both account and tried to add back in. But I got the error message said "cannot connect with SSL, would you like to try without SSL?" I chose yes and it said " IMAP is not responding. Check your Internet connection and that you enterred the right information in the incoming mail server"
I searched on the Internet and found out many people are having this problem, I tried all kinds of solutions including shutting down the iPad, verify gmail setting, Check outgoing mail server... But none of those worked for neither of the two email accounts, and I still cannot add any email account on my iPad.
Can someone help me with this please? It's so frustrated :(

Nvm, it works now

I can't get my email imap not responding

I can't get may email on my iPad the mail server imap.gmail not responding

Same issue in Colorado. And, the worst part is that is impacting my iPhone from receiving any of my other email. My work email (push via "enterprise" gmail) comes through, but my personal email and other POP emails are "Stuck" behind .mac email not being able to connect.
Why can't we get even the slightest explaination?

After 10.5.6 Update - Mail & Gmail (imap) not syncing correctly

After updating to 10.5.6, Mail is not syncing with my Gmail (imap) accounts correctly. For example, I will receive an email and have notifications both in Mail and my iPhone. If I read the email from my iPhone, Mail will not show the email has been read or deleted unless I quit and reopen. Gmail does, however, show the email as read or deleted almost immediately. Manually syncing Mail with an account doesn't work. Only quitting and reopening Mail. Any suggestions?

That's a shame. Did you read earlier:

No problem with Gmail IMAP account here, although not using with an iPhone. Are you accessing your Gmail account from Mail as an IMAP type account?
Also, in some other discussion, I read that someone trashed their "com.apple.mail.plist" in their home/library/preferences folder and restarted
mail and it was successful, including each message where they were supposed to be.
I try and find that link.
FOUND THE LINK:

(whilst it was about force quitting, it may be related - decide for yourself)

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

Using foxfire I get a lot of not responding error messages

Whenever you are surfing the net foxfire unexpectedly freezes on you. You get a not responding message.

Yes, I know about that article. I know how to handle the untrusted connection in normal circumstances. I know it has something to do with being behind a proxy. (I have no problems hitting the same sites from my home PC.) My question is how to handle it when the "I understand the risks" option isn't presented and I thus can't add an exception and continue on to the site.

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

Gmail Message "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed"

Curious if anyone else has seen the "cannot get mail" message pop up when using the iphone 4 mail in iOS. I only get it for my gmail and only when I select the all inboxes option. When I select only the gmail account, I don't see this pop up. My email downloads fine, but for some reason this message continues to show up every time I access it. Starting to get annoying.
Any solution as to how to keep this from popping up. Maybe changing something within the gmail account setup or preferences on the iphone?

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.
