I am not receiving new emails on my phone.  I am receiving a pop-up that reads "cannot get mail" saying my server is not responding and to check my settings.  My settings are correct. Help!

Looking for help.... I keep getting a pop-up message on my phone stating that my server is not responding and to check my settings.  My settings are fine.  Any advice on what I can do to receive new emails on my phone?  Help!

For a few weeks I have been using the GMail app on my iPhone 4S to get mail without problem.  When I wanted to check something in Apple's Mail app, which has worked well for years, I now get a message for my principal email address that the server is "not responding," even though the same server is responding to my GMail app.  For some reason, when I dismissed the message in Mail, it popped up again, but then could be dismissed.  Did something change in Mail that requires some imap addresses be deleted and readded?  Any idea?
I would not want to think that Mail is programmed to befuddle if it is ignored too long.

I type in the correct password in the iCloud account and mail account under settings but it always reverts back and preventsme from getting mail. Can only retrieve mail from i cloud on my competer. Thanks!!!

    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.

    Hello I'm trying to create Apple ID without success for a long time.
    And after checking with the bank details are correct with no success

    If you choose US as your country while your bank details and credit card or PayPal account are from another country, then you will get an error not related to your details, such as 'the CVV number is incorrect', although it is correct.

  • TS3276 I cannot get my outgoing SMTP server togo "On-Line" and cannot send out emails.

    I cannot get my outgoing SMTP server togo "On-Line" and cannot send out emails.

    I had this problem too but I fixed it today.
    Go to the mail menu preferences.
    Click on account in question.
    Select the outgoing SMTP mail server (the one offline), this has a drop down list, click on the edit server list.
    Click on the advanced button.
    Make sure use default port is checked.
    Make sure SSL is unchecked (unless your provider requires it, mine does not work with it checked).
    Have authentication set to password.
    User name should be your email address for that account.
    Make sure correct password is entered (for some strange reason my password box was blank on this account).
    Push the ok button.
    For me the SSL box was checked and the password was missing. This is strange to me considering I have unchecked the SSL Box on the mail preference advance page. Also, I went through the complete set up account when I first created the account, why was my outgoing server password box empty?
    I hope this helps.

    I cant use Facetime. I see the missed calls. I can't place a call either. Confirmed settings are correct following the troubleshooting guide. My WiFi works fine (can send text /o issues). My contacts are all iPhone users.

    Thanks for your reply.  Since posting this I somehow managed to create an IMAP account on my phone and everything is coming through npow!!
    I don't know what i did but it's working.
    FYI I'm with Sky,com and a password is required.  No error messages were being received.
    Thanks

  • HT4972 i cannot update the ios it starts then it says software server could not be contacted make sure network settings are correct

    i cannot seem to upgrade the ipad to ios 5 i keep getting a message after about 15 minutes that says ipad server software could not be contacted make sure your network settings are correct. and network is active or try again later

    My 3G service provider told me to power off by holding the top black button down for 5 seconds until you get until you get the red arrow asking you to slide to power off. Leave off for a minute or so and then use the same button to turn back on and it will show a little apple in the middle of the screen. This should reboot your server information and you will not get the error message.

  • I am able t receive e-mails on my ipad3, but not send them. All my settings are correct

    I am able to send e-mails from my ipad3, but not send them. My settings are definately correct

    To expound a little on lllaass post ....
    Go into your email account's settings : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , tap on the account on the right-hand side, go into Account, then SMTP (under Outgoing Mail Server) and try filling in your email account name and password (they might show as 'optional' at the moment) and see if that helps

  • I rec'd yellowish admail, I can't delete it, I can send but not receive email. "Cannot Get Mail,connection to server failed". This is on Wi Fi from my lap top which has no problems?

    The adware comes in on my sub account (almost hourly), it is always on top of my Inbox. It's funny I can send and receive from my sub account, just not my main account.
    I am able to get Safari. I see one previous suggestion to delete account, but I'm afraid I would then lose my email address. I tried on another wi fi and still had the same problems. I also saw it may be a password problem, but if that is so how do I get Safari? I also rebooted. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    If you delete your mail account from your iPad you won't lose your address. I've deleted and re-added my mail account several times.
    It'd be the same as.....I have a favorites list for a website. I can delete that favorites list, but the website is still out there. I just need to retype the address. Same thing with the mail.
    The worst that'll happen is that you'll have to redownload your mail onto your iPad.
    Who is your mail provider? Are you accessing it via their app (for example the yahoo app) or are you accessing it via safari or via the iPad's mail app?

  • I am a new Mac owner. I downloaded a document off of Sharepoint but I cannot input data into it.I have Office Mac2011 and I did enable Macros.Thank you for your help.

    I am a new MacBook Pro owner. I have Microsoft Office: Mac2011 I downloaded a document from Sharepoint. I clicked on the document to open it.....I then clicked on Enable Macro and the document opens, but will not allow me to input data. Thank for any help.

    Hey TobynJ:
    Sharepoint will use your network username or password if it is setup that way, but I'm not talking talking about that.  I am talking about permissions to be able to write to the document, you might only have read rights and not write.

  • TS4036 my ipad will not respond and can't be backed up at this time. help!!

    My iPad is stuck on a screen telling me that I haven't backed up in 2 weeks. I can not get my iPad to respond in any way. I can't get it to shut down or move beyond this screen. Please help.

    Perform a reset: Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release both buttons and await restart.

  • I cannot get my pictures to sync.  My music and everything else did but my pictures wont.  Help???

    hello?  any help with my problem here??

    How did you set up syncing for photos?  Did you turn on syncing with iPhoto or Aperture (if using a mac) or designate a folder to sync pics from?  This is done in Itunes in the Photos tab for your device.
