Incoming Mail Server Not Responding

Hi from a Mac Newbie...
I am trying to set up multiple email acounts to be accessed by Mail, and keep getting the "The POP server “mail.hotmail.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable". The same for just hotmail.com. Once I get this to work I need to set up gmail, too.
Am I typing something in wrong?
Thanks

Has it worked before on the pad. If it has in the past, and does not now that means either the server is down or busy, just wait a while. or some how you have altered you name or password or some other server parameter inadvertently.
Third choice is you have dropped your Internet connection. Is anything else on the Internet working?
Try the same account from safari using web,ail, or from another computer. If it is down, it will be down there as well. If it works there, but not from the pad, recheck the parameters and your connection again.

There are instructions on this page for how to create a new account without giving credit card details (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Unless an account is created via those instructions then credit card details will need to be entered on it before the account can be used.

Incoming mail server not working

Suddenly and for no reason, my Mac mail isn't working on my desktop. Still works on my ipad and iphone though. I see in account preferences that there is no "incoming mail server" written in the space but it won't let me write one in.

nautilus,
If you are using a G3 running 10.2.x as your profile indicates please re-post in the PPC based iMac's forums. This forum is for Intel based iMacs, the earliest Intel based iMacs shipped with Tiger 10.4.x

Mail Server Not Responding

I have my own mail server. When my iPhone is on the local WiFi, it can log in and read mail. When it is on the 3G connection, it gets the message 'The mail server "intellexcorp.com" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in the Mail settings.' The setttings are unchanged. There is no firewall on the server computer. I can't see why the same settings would have a problem connecting. No other services, including mail and remote access have a problem accessing this computer by name or by IP.
Please, do _NOT_ suggest that I check my settings. As I have said the same settings work fine on Wifi.

Reception is fine. Already tried a reboot. This is an ongoing problem over a period of months. I can't undestand why the 'outside of network' connection can't get to the server while the 'inside the network' can, since there is no firewall and the exact same settings. The mail server is not showing that it is blocking anything. Puzzling.

TS3899 Not able to access gmail thru iPhone. Error message states "mail server not accessible"

Not able to access my Gmail in my iphone. Error message pops up
"...... mail server not responding ........"

Did this used to work or have you just set it up for Gmail access? Did you do it in accordance with: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4810 ?
Are you accessing it via cellular network or WiFi? If WiFi then is this your usual network?
If it has been working fine for some time and now suddenly you get this message having changed nothing then it is most likely a temporary glitch at Google end or your ISP perhaps.

A small correction to my own post above: Yahoo does offer free IMAP access to Nokia users. The server details are:
Incoming IMAP server: nokia-free.imap.mail.yahoo.com, SSL.
Outgoing SMTP server: nokia-free.smtp.mail.yahoo.com, SSL.

HT4864 the incoming mail server field is blank and will not let me type in the information. I can type in other fields but this blank field will not allow it.

In account information the incoming mail server field is blank but when I try to type it in it does not allow me to.
Whats do I do?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You do not need to start adding manual information into your iCloud account settings. If you feel the settings are incorrect for any reason, you should delete your account and add it back and let it set itself up.

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server.

No idea how to do anymore. Already tried to figure out. But not work. Can anyone pls help me?

Nope, doesn't pass verification. I get the spinner for a minute or so, then the alert about setting it up without SSL. Are you suggesting I disable Fetch and Push BEFORE I enter the account details? Because I never get past the account details screen, unless I choose "Set up without SSL" after the warning.

Mail Problems - SMTP server not responding: "offline"

I am currently testing DSL service for a month; set up Mail just before I downloaded the 10.7.3 release. Tested it once and it worked; did not use it to send emails since because I am only testing this (including the email address). I have been receiving emails (which I forwarded to myself from my cable provider's website); today, I wanted to send an email and a 6 hour troubleshooting saga began....
Total of 2 hours with Centurylink tech support; 1 1/2 hours with Applecare, and another 30 minutes with Centurylink.
During that time, all different settings were tried, turned on/off. POP server ok, SMTP server not responding. With Applecare, tried it on both the iMac and the Macbook; also tried it after booting into Snow Leopard - SMTP server not responding ("offline"). Applecare tech stated that it has to be the server since we tried it on two machines as well as SL. Centurylink insists there is nothing wrong with their server, but it's Mail's fault.
So, I finally gave up for the evening, but wonder if there is something amiss with Mail in 10.7.3 (both machines are on the same version) and during the troubleshooting, I noticed an anomaly: in a new message window, there was no choice to choose an account to send from which I thought was odd.
I was thinking of a new install or to clone back? My clones are up to date though, I have no older clones. I do have a fresh install but it's also the latest one from MAS. Or I could just boot from the fresh install and set up Mail to see if it would work?
Grateful for any ideas....

Thanks to everyone; as you can imagine, all settings/configurations were tried yesterday (even booting into SL); Apple said it's Centurylink's fault, and they insisted there was nothing wrong with their server.
FWIW, I unplugged my Comcast cable (it is still active though and I'm getting TV reception, just unplugged the modem for now); right now, my internet access and email account are with Centurylink for the test. I still access my Comcast mail via their web interface email account.
Anyway, thanks to a good friend's idea, I decided to check keychain access and to make it short: the issue is fixed and the problem definitely had something to do with the OS because:
When I first checked keychain, this is what I saw:
I then checked Comcast settings and there were two: one was checked "allow all apps..." and the other had the "confirm" with Mail listed under the applications.
So I figured it's so screwed up, I probably can't make it any worse, so I deleted the Internet Accounts and added Mail to the smtp.centurylink...:
And......... it then worked! These default "internetaccounts" obviously aren't being recognized by Centurylink's server?
And, to make sure that was it, I not only did the same thing on the Macbook, but also booted into a pristine "backup" fresh install (no added apps or files, just default OS), launched Mail and couldn't send. Launched Keychain, changed the apps to Mail, and I was able to send email.
I would call that a bug? Or not? In any case, I'll be calling back Applecare and tell them to add the above to the very long log from yesterday and to make a note that "internetaccounts" doesn't work with everything.
