I keep getting a message Cannot Get Mail No password provided for "MobileMe"
I have upgraded to 4S and the phone is functioning properly but I keep getting some error messages. In Mail, I keep getting the prompt - Cannot Get Mail No password provided for "MobileMe". Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password.
When I click Settings, I have already removed the "MobileMe" account from my phone & am receiving the MobileMe mail through the iCloud account that is set up. And that iCloud account is functioning properly.
So the Mail is attempting to pull mail from an account I deleted off my iPhone & then when I try to follow the prompts to fix the problem & enter a password, it's no longer there.

I keep getting a message "cannot send mail" a copy has been placed in your outbox. The recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. How can I fix this error so I can send emails.
The issue definitely sounds like your Outgoing/SMTP settings need to be changed. Simply set them to the proper settings for your provider as was suggested above.
I found this link for Knology: http://support.knology.net/content/email.setup.cfm
The SMTP settings can be edited on the iPad/iPhone by going to Settings--> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, edit the account having trouble, click the Account, then at the bottom is the SMTP server info, click on it to edit it further.
It should allow you to edit the primary smtp server and let you enter all the good stuff as you see in the Knology link above.
Some providers require you to register your account on their service like AT&T. -

HI, I just bought an iPhone 4S. Although my iPad and other iPhone 3GS connect to our server (SBS2003) I cannot get through. It checks all items in the connection and then I get the message :Cannot get mail, the connection to the server failed." 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.

why am i getting the message cannot get mail or that i am not connected to the internet what settings do i need to be on
WIFi needs to enabled and you need to be connected to a network. Alternatively, you need Cellular Data to be "on". (Settings>General>Network). But it propably is a problem with your router (at least, it often is with me), provided you are using your private router. Try schutting it off and turning it on again. This usually sorts problems like this out.

Why do I get the message "cannot get mail" when trying to connect to microsoft exchange server.
Why do I get the message "cannot get mail" when trying to connect to ms exchange server?
Hard to say. Has it ever worked? Maybe your account has mobile e-mail disabled. Maybe ActiveSync isn't set up properly on the server. maybe the correct ports are not open on the corporate firewall.
You will have to talk to your IT department. -

Whenever i turn on ipad mail i get a message cannot gt mail the connection to the server failed
when i turn on ipad mail it says cannot get mail the conenction to the server failed
I had connection to my email last night when I went to bed. When I woke up this morning, my "hotmail" account wouldn't connect to the server. My other emails are fine but I cannot get my email to connect to the server. I called microsoft and asked and my email works on my computer but it's the strangest anomaly that my email of all days stops working now. I need it so bad to do work. I've already tried deleting the email and resetting it up twice but I just don't know what to do.
Thanks,

Hi also having the same issue. I downloaded "seed" email app and it works fine in there. My email was working fine on my ipad and iPhone and then suddenly stopped. Although seed works I preferred the apple mail feature better. Hoping someone will respond to us!! This is obviously an issue probably for many folks.

can't get mail iphone5s only no problem with ipad2 or MacBook Pro why?
Does this happen on wifi, cellular or both? I have a Comcast account and have been using it on my iPhone for quite some time. At first, years ago, you could not use it to send mail, but they have changed that. Make sure you have entered your username and password in all sections of the account, including where the iPhone says "optional".
Your error indicates troubles with the incoming mail server. Go back to your account and make sure the username and password are in each section, make sure SSL is turned on, authentication is password and the server port is 995. FYI for outgoing mail, it is the SMTP server, and that also needs to have username and password entered, SSL turned on, authentication is password, and the server port is 465.
See if that helps. -
I am all out of options.. Please help!
I have yet to find an email server that does not work with Mail.app. Your solution will be to configure its ports and send/receive protocol according to the email server's requirements.
Try the Zimbra support forums. I found this excerpt from a relevant post:
http://www.zimbra.com/forums/users/46221-mac-mail-app-dont-work-outside-company. html
in which the following ports were suggested
ports 25, 465, and/or 487 to send mail.
port 143/993 to retrieve mail over IMAP -
My gmail account has stopped working on my iphone, saying the user name or password is incorrect, but both are definitely correct. I have tried restarting the phone, deleting the account and setting it up again, and checked that I can log on through safari. It had been working fine until this morning! Any ideas how to fix this?
Turn off 2 step authentication on your gmail account in a browser. It should work fine afterwards.
