IOS 5.1.1 and IMAP mail not working?

I'm wondering if iOS 5.1.1 broke IMAP mail on the iPad2 and iPhone 4S.
Background
I have used several email accounts on the iPad2 and iPhone 4S (and the iPhone 4 before that) successfully for quite some time. Just recently I noticed that there were no new emails in any of my IMAP accounts.
Tried so far...
I've deleted and re-entered my email account information several times. I've hard "re-booted" the devices (home + off til the apple reappears). None of these procedures have fixed things.
Help if you can. Thanks!

You can post the question again, but trust me, iOS 5.1.1 did not break IMAP mail on the iPad. I realize that you are frustrated by this issue, but IMAP email accounts are working for me - as I stated earlier and they are working for the majority of IMAP email users as well. I posted this in your first post and I don't know if you even tried it.
Have you tried just quitting mail and then restart the iPad and see what happens?
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can also turn mail off in the settings, restart and the turn mail on again in the settings and sometimes that resets things back to normal.
Settings>Mail>Your Email Account>Mail>Off. Restart the iPad and go back to Settings>Mail>Your email Account>Mail On. See if your email accounts will work.
Did you think that maybe your email provider - Thunderbird I believe you said - could be experiencing an issue on their end

Imap mail not working!

I've just switched form a pc to a mac book pro. untill today (day 2) I've been really happy.
the sad part is I can't get the computer to check my mail or send it. I keep getting asked over and over and over again for my password. ive checked and treble checked my password it is correct. I've been looking at the tech notes and even tryed to get keychain first aid to help but it just crashes.
can any one tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've even gone through the help on my web host but its not working.

Hello and welcome to the Discussions.
In Mail the two important identifiers are the Password and the Username entry. The latter must be entered directly in the setup, and is never extracted from the email address entry. Some mail servers respond to the Username portion of an email address (the part in front of the @) and others need the complete email address to be entered as the Username. You might try the opposite of what you have done already.
Who is the provider of this IMAP account, btw, and do they have any support documents that say how to set up an account with Apple Mail? With any email client?

Preview and Mac Mail not working after upgraded to 10.4.11

Hello,
I just upgraded to 10.4 everything works fine, after I upgraded to 10.4.11, I find funny noice on my hard drive and preview, mac mail is not working. Trashing the preference is not working.
Urgent help please.
Thank you
Benny

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__PPC
And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.4.11 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Mail and .mac mail not working

Well, I've sent 3 emails to customer service to no avail, so hopefully someone else on these inter-tubes is having the same problem. 3 days ago my mail stopped working. Mail on my Mac continually says my password has been rejected. OK, Mail sometimes is flaky. I can live with that (for now), but I also can't get email from a web browser. I can log in just fine and dandy. Bookmarks? Check. iWeb web sites? Check. iDisk, iCards, iCal? Check, check, and check. Mail? "Your information could not be displayed. Click here to try again." I've clicked "here" more times than Steve Jobs says "Amazing" at a keynote. I've tried on several different computers all with the same results. If anyone can help I'd be eternally grateful. Thanks! FYI, I have had this account since iTools.

Published IOS app space bar and return does not work

Hi
We have developed an app for iPhone/iPad in XCode on a mac. When debugging on iPad from mac, we are able to enter any character in to a text box.
However, the app has been sent through Apple in to the iTunes store and when installing from there, entering in to a text box, the space bar, return key and other non A-Z 0-9 characters just do not work. The space bar does seem to make the auto correct suggestions change, but does not enter a space in to the text.
Why would this happen?
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Contact facebook here. Sounds like its an app issue.

IMAP and Apple Mail - not working properly

Hi all,
I am using Apple Mail and want to use my GMX account with IMAP and are facing 2 issues:
(1)
While all changes I make directly at www.gmx.ch are being made in Apple Mail on my MacBook Pro, the changes I make in Apple Mail (like moving mails to subfolders, deleting mails, etc.) are not reflected on the GMX server.
(2)
Sent emails are often put in the Drafts folder AND Sent folder. They are sent, but still appear in the draft folder as they were not sent.
Any idea how to solve these issues?
Thanks a lot & best regards!

You aren't giving us all the relevant information, are you? I bet you access your Gmail account from more than one computer, don't you?

Both iPhoto and Mac Mail not working after most recent security update

Granted I wasn't there to see it happen but I think my mom's computer here is a bit fubar based on something having been changed on her computer prior to the last security update. My guess is that her friends who think they are 'helping' are actually causing some real problems but I'm here now so I'm just trying to fix it with what I can.
Essentially neither her mail or iPhoto seems to be working. I've found a similar error message in other posts but what throws me for a loop is that, when I use the console log and look at the crash files for both applications, they are both telling me the exact same thing. Could they both be pulling the same file for use? I've already run the disk repair stuff, changed the permissions on the file and just about everything else I could think of - do I need to reinstall the application or perhaps the entire operating system?

Bbm and e-mails not working

Have you tried pulling your battery out while the power is still on, waiting 30 seconds and replacing the battery?

Sound alerts for received and sent mail not working

How can this be fixed? Using yahoo email. Did work before upgrading to os4.3

Do you have system sounds off? Go into settings and see if you have selected Mute System Sounds or Lock Screen Orientation for the button on the right hand side of your iPad, just above the volume control. If you have Mute System Sounds checked, simply move the button in the opposite direction. If you have Lock Screen Orientation checked for that button, click your home button once to go to your home screen. Then double click your home button twice and your most recently used Apps will appear on the bottom row. On that row, with your finger, swipe those Apps to the right all the way and an icon will appear on the very left side. It should be a mute button and by touching it, you will turn system sounds back on. Let me know if this solves your problem.
If neither option works, reboot your iPad. Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You will not lose any data or settings.

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.

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.
