IOS mail app can't download mail

I've got an IPhone 5, running IOS 8.1.3.  For the last week or so, the built in Mail app is not displaying any new mail from my Register.com email account.
It flashes a "Checking for mail..." message, quickly says that it's downloading mail, and then it says "Updated Just Now", like normal.  But no new mail is displayed.  I tried deleting and recreating the account; login information never changed.  I've reverified correct incoming and outgoing mail servers as well.
Anyone seen this behavior before?
Thanks!

I have the same problem when i want to download update in apps store. The apps store is using other account, which is not mine so i don't know the password and eventually can't download apps. Can' t understand how this could happen because i'm using my own personal ipad an have logged on in my ipad's setting using my own apple ID. Contacting apple support doesn't help either.

  • .mac account in Mail.app won't download mail - it freezes

    I just screenshared my mother for about 4 hours (there is about a 20 second lag time between every click i enter and the response on her end, maddening!! but that's another story).
    Her AOL IMAP accounts are working fine in Mail.app, but her .mac account is not. It will not download any new mail that is sitting on the server. It shows that non-beachball circle-line progress thing, nonstop.
    Weirder still, I went on her screen, composed an email to myself, and sent it. The Mail Activity showed that it was sending at speeds like 5 kbps... for 10 minutes, until I force quitted. However, I got the email in my account seconds after I sent it. So SOMEHOW the outgoing email is working, even though it froze her own Mail.app in a perpetual "Sending" progress circle.
    The application will not quit... it must be force quit every time. I tried deleting the .mac account and re-adding it. I deleted the plist. I verified that the connection doctor has all green lights and says it logged into the server successfully. I tried using SSL and not SSL connections. This was an issue in 10.5.2 and persists in 10.5.3. She is on DSL plugged straight into the computer. All other internet functionality seems to be working normally.
    WHAT could possibly be making Mail screw up the .mac account, but not an AOL IMAP account?
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

    I went to settings > mail, contacts, calendars and did not find a notifications setting.  But that's not the issue.  When I open the mail app and force an update, new email is not downloaded, even though I can see new email on my computer. 

  • Ios 7 apps can't download

    I downloaded ios 7 and ever since then I can't download apps at all. I have tried closing everything out and rebooting, also restarting the wifi in settings but nothing has worked. I'm wondering if I can have some help.

    If you normally sync through iTunes, you can try getting them that way.
    Have you tried signing out and then signing back in with your Apple ID? Mine got messed up and I had to have my secret questions reset, then I could download apps again.

  • If I bought the IOS iWork apps, can I download them for free to my Mac? after I already have it on my iPhone

    Do I have to buy also the OS X version of iWork?

  • I have installed iOS 6 and I can't download mail to my gmail account

  • Since my update to IOS 6 I can not download Apps. What do I do!!??

    Since my update to IOS 6 I can not download Any Apps, because I can not see te info on the next screen when I chose an app... What do I do!!??

    It HAS to be hardware..
    I made the appointment, thank you.
    I consistently close all apps, keep my brightness down, keep wifi off when not in use, and location services. Reset my phone and still the battery drains so fast!
    It appears to be messaging, and Facebook apps, and safari that are the leading cause..
    If I send maybe 10 texts, I'll easily lose 4-8 % battery. I literally watch it drain in front of my eyes.
    Roughly a minute of Facebook, safari, or mail consumes 1-2%.
    That is faulty hardware, or software..
    Either way it's apples fault. My phone is mint! Never been out of this otter box except to wipe dust off and when I charge it..
    I charge regularly. Let it die down before charging, and let it almost completely die then fully charge it once a month too.
    I hope apple repairs my battery, or software

  • The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers.  This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs.  Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted problem continues

    opps.  Long title there... The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers.  This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs.  Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted those.  Checked for software update and installed suggested downloads.  Problem still contintues.  Any suggestions?

    Folks,
    even after having repaired the inbox folder under "properties" a few times, I still had some e-mails where the contents are different from the subject line.
    In other words in the inbox there are two e-mails: one with subject line "abc", and another one with subject line "def".
    When I display the e-mail with the subject line "abc", the contents are from the e-mail with the subject line "def" in the in-basket.
    What else can be done to correct this problem?
    Thanks and best regards.

  • Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP?

    Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP? I think that my iPhone is doing this, but what about the Apple Mail app on my Mac? I don't like the fact that the Mac downloads the e-mail messages and removes them from the server, therefore making them inaccessible from Yahoo's online mail or my iPhone.
    I'd like to get to work just like my Mobile Me e-mail... Any thoughts?

    There is an option in the 'Advanced' section of the account setup to delete the messages from the server after a specified period rather than immediately on download; you could leave them for a week or whatever, then they will still be there when the iPhone accesses them.

  • Mobile Me Mail in Mail.app no longer downloading correctly

    Since the latest update from Apple to 10.5.6 I've been having a problem with Mail.app. I leave Mail open throughout the day while I work. The only email account it uses is my mobile me - which is also set up on my iPod Touch. Since the update, and without fail - messages are pushed to my iPod (I hear the new message sound as it is docked) but are not downloaded to Mail.app. I can also log in to the me.com website and see the new message when it arrives.
    If I go in to Mail I can click 'get mail' but nothing downloads. I hear the 'no new messages' sound. In order to get my new mail message I have to exit Mail and reopen it - then it downloads.
    This has made Mail.app totally useless. I have to keep it closed, wait for my iPod to notify me of new mail, then open Mail to read it. This is silly - anyone else experiencing this issue?

    Thanks for the tip, but that's a no go. By default, Mobile Me accounts have this activated. I have tried it both active and inactive and it has had no effect either way.
    Since it happens on all my Mac's I know it can't be a single system issue. And until someone else posted here that they had the same problem I thought perhaps it could be an issue with my actual Mobile Me account. Aside from this one posting, I have yet to encounter a single other person whom experiences this. Everyone just looks at me cross-eyed including Apple support.
    It's deffinately an issue with Mail app though - works fine on my iPod Touch, iPhone and via my mail widget (that I just starting using since I cannot leave mail open).

  • HT5361 I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

    I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

    Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
    Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
    Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
    Kind regards,

    I found this line in the logs:

    Any idea about can I repair that disc image? I tried disk verification and permission repair only.
    Thanks a lot!

  • Mail.app stopped saving sent mail to server

    A few days ago I searched for a sent email with what I knew to be a unique word I had used and it didn't get found. I looked at the Sent section (the one with the paper airplane) in the sidebar and noticed that there hadn't been any additions for two days even though I know I had sent email in that period.
    I have an iMac and two iBooks, they all showed the same behavior, so nothing in the Preferences had been changed.
    My default email name is an AOL account. I went to their webmail site, and a new email sent from there showed up in the Sent section of Mail.app.
    I downloaded the Thunderbird email client, and mail sent from there with my AOL name shows up in Mail.app Sent.
    So Thunderbird and AOL webmail will send mail from my AOL account and have it show up as sent but Mail.app won't.
    Anyone else have this problem?
    Done all the usual stuff, permission repair, directory rebuild, reboot, even a complete reinstall of the OS.

    Looks like AOK has fessed up to the problem:
    "I have never had a problem with my aol mail until Dec 18. I can no longer see my sent emails. I am using a MAC and accessing AOL through Mac. Very frustrating. What is going on?

  • I had an imap account in my iPad and my iPhone 4. They worked just fine till about Christmas. They act like they are checking the mail and it shows there is mail to come in, but it just goes back to saying checking mail.  Can't send mail either.

    Update to above question:
    Hello All,
    To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
    Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
    Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
    Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
    When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
    All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
    So this fix worked for me.
    After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
    I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.
    Bob
