I can't connect to my gmail or yahoo account through the mail app

I was able to connect just fine until reset my iphone an hour ago, and was asked to update carrier settings, which I did. Now I can't connect to my gmail or yahoo account through the mail app. Through settings, I deleted my accounts, and set them back up, but still nothing. I can connect by going through safari, but it takes longer, and it's not as user friendly...besides that's waht the mail app is there foer, right? Please help! Thanks

...never mind...the problem somehow fixed itself...

When I use gmail in my account in the mail app, how do I flag or "star" a message?

When I i use gmail in the Mail app, how do I flag or "star " a message?

This feature is not available with the iPhone's built in Mail app. You can access GMail via a browser to get this functionality. Personally, I prefer accessing my GMail with a browser on my iPad.

Hello, I can no longer access my gmail account through the mail icon. When I use the icon gmail tells me my password is invalid, however when I log in through Safari I have no problems. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I had no problem accessing my Gmail account through the mail icon until two weeks ago. I can still access my Gmail account through Safari, but when I attempt to access my Gmail through the mail icon, Gmail tells me that my password is invalid. Any Suggestions? Any help would be greatly aprecieated.
Thanks,
Frank

I see you are using LastPass. Could that add-on be interfering with your login?? You could try disabling it temporarily under Tools > Add-ons to test that theory.

I have 2 gmail accounts on the mail app but only 1 is working

I have 2 gmail accounts on the mail app but only 1 of them are working. the default account isn't working and emails are coming from the other account.
They are both working on the iPad. How do I get the non working account back on my iPhone?

I get a message saying the server imap.gmail.com is not responding. Verify the correct account info in mail settings. ...it looks fine to me, how do I know what I need to fix?

TS3274 I recently lost all my notes and my ipad will no longer allow me to connect to my yahoo email via the Mail app. Is there anything i can do?

I also think it may have to do with the fact that i dropped it...
When i try to connect to my yahoo email via the Mail thingy, it will say "user name or password for apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect even though my yahoo password and user name is correct. I know because if i were to het my username or password wrong, it would tell me "user name or password for *insert my email* is incorrect".

This is copied from your first post. Am I reading this wrong? Aren't you saying that you are getting a message that the username and password are incorrect? That's why I asked another the word apple in the name. I don't use Yahoo mail that may in fact be correct but I'm just checking,
IF you are getting a message that the username and password are incorrect.....
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
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.

How can I set an outlook mail account to the mail app in mac

My outlook mail account doesn't work in the mail app, it keeps asking for my password everyday, and the outgoing mail server says "outlook.com (dissconected)".

I don't have Hotmail, but generally, web based email accounts need to be set up within that account (in this case Hotmail) - you need to go to your Hotmail account and check if it can be set up as an IMAP or POP account with emails automatically being forwarded to Mail. Hopefully someone with a Hotmail account will chime in with more specific info; in the meantime, check out the options in your account there.

How can I get my emails back into my hotmail account from the Mail app

Dear Apple support team
I started using the Mail app some weeks ago because I apparently needed it, to be able to open an invitation for an iCloud shared photo folder. As soon as I registered my email into the Mail app all my emails from my hotmail account where deleted from the hotmail server. I really hope that this is possible to revert because if not, it'd be a catastrophe for me. I use that account from several devices for work, and I need those old emails in the server to be able to work again!
I'd really appreciate any advice on this!
Many thanks,
Pier

You can use the iPhoto Export feature to do that. Furthermore, it's the best way if you want to keep the quality of the pictures.
To put the photos in the Pictures folder, first open iPhoto and then, select Edit menu (on the menu bar) > Select All. Finally, go to File menu > Export, and export your photos to the Pictures folder, so they will appear on all Time Machine backups you create since then

Can't view all of my accounts on the mail app

I have never had a problem with my mail app for the past six months, but now all of the sudden I am stuck on my Yahoo inbox and can't view my Gmail or hotmail accounts. When I click the inbox button on the top left it just takes me to the Yahoo account inbox and I used to be able to view all of my accounts.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.

How can I redownload IMAP mails in the Mail App?

I have a relatively slow internet connection over here in Malawi and it can cause problems with my Gmail IMAP account in the Mail App. Sometimes, emails will not download properly. It often happens with larger emails (where the email body itself is large, not necessarily because of attachments). I can get the message to redownload if I move it to another folder, but it's a hassle to do that every time. Is there any simple way to flag a message as needing to be downloaded again?
Thanks!

Gmail labels and hierarchical folders in Mail app

I may have missed discussion on this, so please point me to the thread where this is mentioned. Something I just noticed is that labels I create in Gmail (from the Web interface) that have slashes in their names are interpreted in the iPhone/iPod 3.0 Mail app as parent and child (hierarchical), giving me actual sub-folders! I have a label in Gmail named "Money/Bank", and in the label listing for my Gmail account in the Mail app on my iPod touch, it shows "Money" as a grayed-out item, and "Bank" as an indented sub-folder with a slightly smaller folder icon. Can't touch the gray item, but I can touch and load up all the mail archived in the sub-folder. A very nice way to organize archived Gmail mail on my iPod! Of course, I now fully expect someone to reply with "Jeez...where have YOU been?!" Or is this something brand new?

If you name email folders like that in many programs, it will create two folders (or more)
It assumes it's a path, just like an operating system does when typing a path.
If you don't want that, you can name it:
Misc-Apple or the like.
Misc/Apple creates two folders, in succession.

Can't set up Yahoo account on Mac Mail

Here's hoping someone can help!!
I'm trying to set up my Yahoo account on Mac Mail and my week old Mac (running OS X 10.10/Yosemite) is simply refusing to let me!
I've tried adding the account through Add Account in the Mail app, and by adding it through System Preferences: it either simply keeps returning to the initial set up screen (Mail) or it says 'Cannot connect to the server 'Unknown' (System Preferences).
I have had a look through the all the help pages, but I can't find anything which might help me out - can anyone make a suggestion?!
I have set up my business email (IMAP) and that is working fine. I have also got my Yahoo account on my MacBook and it works fine so I'm fairly confident it's nothing to do with my Yahoo account...
What am I doing wrong?!
Thanks in advance...

Typically, right after I posted this, I managed to do it!!
For the benefit of anyone else: rather than choosing Yahoo from the menu, I clicked 'Add Another Account' (thinking I could manually add the IMAP settings|) and it worked...didn't even need to input them myself...
