Ios 6 update "Cannot get mail" issue

'I updated to ios 6 on my iphone 4 and now i cannot receive yahoo mail on my phone. I get a " cannot get mail" error. How do I fix this?

I did fix this issue by restoring the iOS on my iPhone 5.
First I made sure I backed up my iPhone, I used the iCloud.
I used iTunes to restore my iPhone by following these steps.

After I restored the iOS I actually had to reset the iPhone again to restore from the iCloud because the first time it did not ask to restore from iCloud, so I went to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.  Then I was able to restore from my iCloud back up.
Since I did this I have not had any problems switching between 3G and WiFi.
I hope this works for you.  Good luck and make sure to back up!

  • Cannot get mail issue

    I noticed sometimes my mail app stops receiving pushes for new mail.  When I try to refresh I receive the following message, "cannot get mail no Internet connection available".  This seems to commonly happen after switching from wifi to 3G.
    Force closing the app and restarting it resolves the issue.
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    I have an iPhone 5 iOS 6.0.2 with Sprint.

  • FIXED MY CANNOT GET MAIL ISSUE!!!

    I finally found what was causing my iphone to get the dreaded "Cannot get mail." error when trying to sync with Exchange. Whenever I received an alert from sharepoint (file update alert, etc.) in my exchange account, iPhone could not get any messages after that. Deleting the Sharepoint alert on the iPhone allowed it to resume communication immediately.

  • Updated to ios 7 cannot get mail the connection server failed

    I updated to ios 7 yesterday and today I keep getting "cannot get mail the connection server failed". Also the safari gets stuck or takes awhile to load the page

    Was there ever a response/solution to this? There's plenty of occasions where this seems to have happened but this thread is exactly what's happening to me. I am currently in Spain and trying to use Yahoo mail.
    My mail is updating occasionally but if i try to force an update i get "cannot get mail...the connection to the server failed". Also if i try to send and email i get "a copy has been placed in your outbox....the connection to the outgoing server apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com failed...additional servers can....."
    I checked my mail settings and the defined server isn't prefixed with "apple".

    I have trouble with sending e-mail and syncing e-mail. Try changing to 1 day sync under settings. It's sluggish but it works for me until they resolve the issue. MS claims all is normal. If you still have a problem you should report it here: https://status.live.com/report/hotmail

  • Cannot get mail on one of my iOS accounts

    Cannot get mail on one of my iOS accounts.  Anyone else?

    Since the IOS 7.1 update, I get my gmails but each time I get a message "Cannot get mail" - the mail server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings." Can anyone suggest a fix?

  • ICloud Mail issues: "Cannot Load Mail" and "Cannot Get Mail"

    I'm currently experiencing issues when trying to access iCloud Mail which is visible in two places:
      - on a iOS device (iPad and iPhone): when opening Mail.app and trying to check my iCloud Inbox:
          "Cannot Get Mail" "The user name or password for 'iCloud' is incorrect."
       - on http://www.icloud.com: when clicking the Mail icon:
         "Cannot Load Mail" "Help Apple improve iCloud by reporting this problem." [Reload] [Report to Apple] [Close Mail]
    Oddly enough synching Contacts and Calendar items works fine on the iOS device (so username and password are obviously correct), and logging onto http://www.icloud.com using these credentials with use of all other application icons (Contacts, Calendar, Find my iPhone) seems to work also.
    I created a "free" me.com account to enable "Find my iPhone" when iOS 4 was released (which doesn't include mail), and already had a Apple ID. Presumably these got merged now, maybe contributing to the issue?
    iCloud is only available to me through the web or my iOS devices, I currently don't have Lion installed.
    Suggestions?

    I am in the exact same boat:
    I was a MobileMe subsciber who migrated to iCloud
    MobileMe ID was [email protected]; Apple ID [email protected]
    All iCloud services work as intended EXCEPT mail
    I can access iCloud Mail by:
    Mail.app in Lion
    When I access my iCloud mail on my iOS devices, I get "The user name or password for 'iCloud' is incorrect."  I know for a fact the password is correct, and all other services work.
    When I access iCloud online, again all services EXCEPT mail work.  Here, I get the "Cannot Load Mail." message
    Has anyone resolved this; or is this an Apple issue?  This is driving me crazy.

    Have you tried deleting the account and re-adding it on the phone?
    What version of Exchange server are you running?

  • After 11.1 and ios 7 update, cannot log into ipad. says apple ID already in use. no issues prior to updates.

    After 11.1 and ios 7 update, cannot log into ipad. says apple ID already in use. no issues prior to updates.tried both primary and backup emails. says both already in use

    randers4, thank you for the suggestions.
    1) I have contacted Verizon and they are not blocking "premium" or 3rd party text messages.
    2) The Apple ID login issue occurs regardless of wi-fi network location, or even if I am not on wi-fi at all. Router settings are irrelevant to this problem.
    3) I have already played around extensively with date and time settings. This did not fix any issues.
    Any other suggestions? I had another call with Apple support and they are of the opinion that I may need to have the phone totally replaced, which is unacceptable unless it is free of charge.

  • "Cannot Get Mail" When Checking Mail on Yahoo Account after 1.1.2 update

    I recently updated iPhone to 1.1.2 and now cannot get yahoo email. 1.1.1 worked fine. When I attempted to check for e-mail on iPhone it returns error "Cannot get mail: The user name or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect." I have checked my username and password and I am positive that it is correct. I just logged onto the yahoo mail website with the same username and password that I entered into my iPhone. BTW, I have only alphas for a password and I also tried updating my password online and then modifying the iPhone to match. It authenicates the password when updating the account but will receives the same error above when attempting to update e-mail. I just have the standard yahoo account which shouldn't matter because it is the one that i used on 1.1.1. I have tried everything i can think of and just cant seem to get it to work so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. Thanks

    I have a new iPhone with 1.1.2 and have this same problem. My Yahoo mail is set up correctly, and I can send mail from the mail client, which shows up when I check my 'sent' folder on yahoo using the browser interface from my computer.
    I can't check mail - I get the "The user name or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect. Since I can send email from the iphone, and then see what I sent on both my work email and in my 'sent' folder, it's not a user or pw setup problem.
    I tried turning it off and on and that didn't do it. I have a free yahoo account, so I believe I have to use the Y! option.

  • ICloud mail not working on iOS "Cannot Get Mail"

    After I moved my MobileMe to iCloud I cannot get mail on my iPhone or iPad. iCloud syncs everything else and works on my MacBook Pro running latest Lion.
    Gives me a badge that says:
    Cannot Get Mail
    The user name or password for "iCloud" is incorrect.

    For some, but by no means all, this did not work. Apple has been working internally on my account and appears to have the issue totally resolved. If resetting your password does not work, you should contact MobileMe / iCloud support via e-mail and give them an accurate and complete description of the steps taken to cure the issue. They will be happy to take it from there.

  • Exchange Sync issues - Cannot get mail - the connection to the server faile

    Since the upgrade to 2.2, I seem to be having a very frustrating mail issue that i cant seem to fix.
    While trying to download my mail from my INBOX (on an exchange server) i get an error message - "Cannot get mail - the connection to the server failed"
    ALTHOUGH when syncing my Sent mails, Calendar and contacts i have no issues.
    I have tried rebooting the iphone as well as deleting my mail settings and reloading. The reloading was close to working as the iphone did download some messages (in the inbox) but stops someway through it and gives me the error message. Once i get the error message the phone will not download anymore / other mail messages.
    Please can someone offer some suggestions.

    Hope this helps someone like me, who has trying to figure out what went wrong. I have an iPhone 3G and ActiveSync to Exchange 2003 was working perfect for month's. All of a sudden today it stopped syncing my inbox and my battery just about died? Searched and Searched, rebooted Exchange, removed email account info, still not luck keep getting "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed" message. The weird thing is I could get to my sent items, Calendar and AD contacts? But a thread in another Apple forum opened my eyes to what the problem was...a corrupt email in my inbox. Not sure what email it was I pretty much deleted every email I had after the last one I received on the iPhone. But it fixed the problem, no messing with Exchange virtual directories...nothing...just deleted a corrupt email!
    Hope this helps someone.....

  • HT1430 on my iphone I am getting a "Cannot Get Mail" prompt says " the connection to the server failed. My mail last updated 1-31-14(the last time it would retrieve  mail

    on my iphone I am getting a "Cannot Get Mail" prompt says " the connection to the server failed. My mail last updated 1-31-14(the last time it would retrieve  mail) Ive done the turn on and off thing,thanks

    i had this problem a couple times. Try:
    1) to restart your iPhone (turn off and then on)
    2) connect to a different network or use cellular (it may be a network problem)
    3) delete your mail account from Mail app, and then add it back in
    4) create an icloud backup of all your data, restore through iTunes and then restore from icloud
    hope this helps. cheers!
