I get the message as "Cannot Get Mail" (the connection to the server failed)

When ever I try to open my office mails, I get below msg
"Cannot Get Mail" (the connection to the server failed).
Mainly this happen when i move from wifi zone to 3G network on the phone.

Do you have cellular data provisioned by your carrier?
Check also your Settings > Mobile/Cellular > USE MOBILE/CELLULAR DATA FOR:
Mail: ON

It will be your SMTP settings that need correcting see doc above
You may have to find out the correct settings from your carrier and or

Can't get MAIl to connect to Onetel server

Both my wife's (MacBook) and my IMac will not connect to the Onetel POP outgoing server - we get error message
+OK rslrimap1msp All emails need to go out using gmail or MobileMe. The incoming is OK.
It has not always been this way only in the past year and I wonder if it is a problem with upgrading software. If I use WebMail it is OK and Onetel have checked everything and say that there is nothing they can do - very frustrating.
I have recently upgraded to OS 10.7.3 but this has not solved the problem. Is there anyway that I can reload MAIL? - or is there any other solution. The settings work prefect on our iphone.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

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.

I have been receiving the message ' Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed' but I am connected to WIFI

I have been receiving the message ' Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed' but I am connected to WIFI. I have also been receiving 'Cannot send mail, an error occurred while delivering this message.

Hmm, that's odd JeanEB. The error message referts to the connection to your email server not to cellular data or connection to wi-fi. Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Select your account and type in your password again. If this doesn't resolve it, delete/re-add the email account.

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.

How do I fix my phone? I cannot get mail-I only get the message that the conncection to the server failed.

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

I Tried everything, rebooting, reset all iPhone, etc. All Apple devices work perfectly expect mine. Please advise

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

Talk to your IT department...
Or if you're at University, talk to the computer team.
Most Uni's are using outlook.com as the server connection not mail.youruniversity.edu
