Ipad cannot connect to email server

Since I updated my iPad to ios 6.1 last Thursday I have been unable to access my email. It appears that it cannot find the email server. My wi-fi is working fine. I have looked at all my settings and am mystified.  My iPhone update worked fine and I am getting mail on my iPhone. Is it possible my iPad is "locked out"?

I was able to fix it by deleting the account and setting it back up again.

  • IPad cannot connect to exchange server

    I keep getting an error message when I try to retrieve email from my exchange account.
    Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed.
    My safari internet works perfectly. I have checked my mail settings and they seem to be correct. What are some steps that I should take to troubleshoot this issue? Is this most likely an issue on the mail server?
    I was reading a post where the user stated their fix was: "The fix was that my IT department had to explicitly add my iPad serial number as an authorized device against my exchange account."
    Is this something that has to be done? How would I go about adding my iPad serial number as an authorized device against my exchange account? Exchange ActiveSync?
    Any and all information would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Andy

  • Apple ipad 'Cannot connect to the server'

    When using Mail,  iPad says ' Cannot connect to server'
    it's an icloud mail account.
    The original ipad has internet connectivity.
    I've set up the same account on a different ipad and no probelms.
    I've tried deleting the acocunt and reinstalling but still the problem persists
    Any ideas?

    I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
    Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.

    You can wait a while & update at your convenience.

  • After lollipop update, native email app and third party email apps cannot connect to email server over wifi, only on 4g

    Updated to lollipop yesterday.  Now I cannot access email server (POP3) on wifi, only over 4G.  This is happening on native email app and third party apps such as K9.  Any help appreciated.

    We're terribly sorry to hear about the email issues. Let's get this resolved immediately. Since the update, have you tried to delete and re add the email account?

  • Cannot connect my email server to Mail.

    Hey... so I'm trying to connect my yahoo mail account on apple mail, but when I try to send something a message always comes up saying:
    "The server “plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk” cannot be contacted on the default ports. Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
    So does anyone know how to correctly connect a yahoo account? There's a bunch of funny abbreviations like POP & SMTP, I don't know what those mean... Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    A couple of questions to clarify things:
    1. Your profile shows you are in Vancouver, WA (USA); yet you are saying that the yahoo mail server you are referring to is in England?
    2. You need to check your settings in Mail and tell us if you have a POP or IMAP account with your ISP (Internet Service Provider). My guess - if you are in Vancouver - you have Comcast? Which would mean it's POP, but we need to make sure.
    You can see that information in your Preferences -> Accounts.
    3. If you are in the US, Yahoo does not offer automatic forwarding of emails unless you are willing to upgrade to and pay for the Yahoo Plus (I believe they still offer it free in some parts of Europe, but not in the US).
    SMTP simply means "outgoing mail server" and, if you are on Comcast, it would read "smtp.comcast.net"; that information would also be available in the Accounts pane.
    Without getting more in-depth information, we can only guess at this point. If you'd be able to set up Yahoo, you would have to follow Yahoo's instructions on server name and port numbers. That information is available from Yahoo.

  • Cannot connect to email server over wifi

    After updating to ios 6.0.1 on ipad I am unable to connect to exchange 2003 server while connected to internal office wireless.
    This has happened on two new ipad setups. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi !
    And thanks for your fast reply. I think I have already solved my problem !!
    I was reading some of the other posts here and found on that did the trick !!!!
    All I had to do was "reboot" the iPad by "Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time until it shutsdown, then keep holding it until the Apple logo appear." I didn't even have to delete the mail account
    Hope this helps others with the same problem....
    Thanks !

  • My mini iPad will not connect to the internet. Getting a message that it cannot connect to the server.  What is this and how do I fix it?

    My mini iPad suddenly will not connect to the internet or retrieve my email.  I'm getting an error message that says "cannot connect to the server".  How do I fix this?

    Nevermind.  I found the answer from someone else's question.  Thank you.

  • Error message received submitting form via email - "Acrobat cannot connect to the server"

    Some of my users are unable to submit form data.  The forms are set up to be submitted via email and only a few of the users are effected.  They have installed the latest versions of both Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
    "Acrobat cannot connect to the server, but will automatically submit your form once the server is online.  You can check tracker for the status of this submission."
    "You have already submitted the data on this form and it is waiting to be sent.  Further changes are not allowed until the prior data is sent."
    I know that this question has been asked before, but there has not been a response.  This is very frustrating.
    Thanks for any help or sugesstions.

    I have this exact same error, but also have not yet found a workaround.
    Only sporatic users get the error, and I've been unable to duplicate it from my machine.  I am on Adobe Reader v 10.1.2.
    Actually I can get around the error if I were to downgrade to Adobe v9, but that is a bandaid fix - not really a secure answer.

  • I have two iPads and one is connected to the internet but my other iPad was connected then was not and since then I have not been able to add my internet back onto my iPad it only says cannot connect to the server any help would be great thanks

    If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • IPad Air wifi works but Safari returns message cannot connect to Apple server?

    using iPad Air wifi works but Safari returns message cannot connect to Apple server? (Friends iPad otherwise couldn't post!)

    Many thanks for contacting me Carolyn. However the wifi was working fine and I found the solution from this posting:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/25449630
    So resetting the iPad by holding down the Home and Sleep buttons together to reset it did the job.

  • Why are sent emails from mac mail going to out box and message saying cannot connect to ATT server?

    I receive emails via ATT to my mac mailbox. But when I send an email it goes to the out box and I get a message that it cannot connect to the server?
    The genius bar said that APPLE and ATT were working on this, but very frustrating. Any suggestions?

    Same is happening with me.  Was having intermittent DSL service - called AT&T to rectify.
    After the internet was back up and running, I could no longer send outgoing mail from my Mac Mail 5.3 application.  I didn't change any settings or update any software, yet the IT person i was talking to (the same who corrected my internet issue) was saying it was a Mail problem.
    I disagree considering it was working 1/2 hour before we started our conversation!
    Any insight would be helpful.
    Definitely set up the way AT&T suggested!

  • Ipad 2 keeps saying cannot connect to the server when i put in my facebook password

    All the new updates made my ipad 2 not work well and hesitate so I cleared off all content and reset all settings and then downloaded all current updates. I now get a message every time I open my ipad 2 that says Log into Facebook. I do that with the correct password under settings and then get the ERROR: "CANNOT CONNECT TO THE SERVER" All is good on both my iphone and Mac book Air
    I have tried:
    Deleted facebook app...but only goes to iCloud wont totally delete
    I have Reset Network settings
    I have Reset Location and Privacy or at least I try but I dont think anything is happening
    No change

    Can't connect to iTunes Store
    Have you tried rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again - or temporarily disabling your firewall or anti virus software?
    Restart or reset 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.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
