Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:

If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*

Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

IF iPad has been sitting unused for over a year... how do I get it to charge the battery?

Unused Ipad has been sitting around a long time without being plugged in... when I plug it in nothing happens... help!

Give it time. Half an hour at least. If your battery is totally flat it has to build up some charge before it'll even chirp at you.
Plug it in over night and see what happens. If it's still dead then, you can try a different charger to make sure that's not bad. If that doesn't work, then it may be dead, Jim

Messages sit in Outbox?

For some odd reason - none of my email messages get sent out from my iPhone anymore.
Everything used to work just fine. I never made any adjustments to any settings.
All of my mail since this past weekend just sits in my outbox and never gets sent out.
I have a .mac account email and its the only email service I have.
What can I do to fix this?
What went wrong?

Sounds like your ISP has started blocking the SMTP port for outgoing email. I don't know which ports .mac supports, but that is what you need to find out.

Error message; messages sitting in Outbox

I have been trying to send some e-mails today but I keep getting an error message that says, "This message could not be delivered and will remain in your outbox until it can be delivered. The server 'smtp.mac.com' cannot be contacted on port 587." I changed my port to 993 and one message seemed to go but the rest remain. I don't understand why this is a problem all of a sudden. I send e-mails every day with Mail on both my MBP and iMac. Funny thing though. I checked what port my iMac was using and it was 993 while my MBP has been using 587. I don't even know what half of this stuff means. Can somebody please help.

Turn SSL off for .Mac's SMTP server and try ports 587 and 25 for SMTP.
"Ports" can be compared to television programs. There is one cable connected to your TV, but there are lots of programs on that cable. Same with your Mac: there is one "cable" (maybe this "cable" is Airport), but there are many "programs" (ports) on that "cable". These ports are used to run different services (on different ports) on one and the same machine.

See if this helps.
Reboot 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.

Try to perform a reset:

Mail won't send. Just sits in outbox

Mail does not send. Messages sit in outbox. Account settings have not been altered. I don't get any error messages when I hit send button.

What email provider are you using? It appears your outgoing mail server is incorrect. One possible solution is to delete the account and add it again.

How did you erase your account? A lot of people would like to know. No one has found a way of erasing an Apple id account.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use your device again. Finally, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and make a backup. The device will be backed up when it's plugged to the charger and connected to your network

My iPad has a message iCloud not backed up in 5 weeks. I can not get the message to go away so that I can connect to Wi-Fi. I have a full charge on the iPad. Thanks, Maui LL

I keep getting a message that my iPad has not been backed up to icloud

I keep getting a message on my iPad that my iPad 3 running iOS 6.0.1 has not been backed up to iCloud for 2 or 3 weeks even though Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup indicates that the iPad has been backed up that very same day. Generally the iPad backs up every day, automatically, when plugged in and locked. I get the messages about once per week.
Another iPad 2, running iOS 5 backs up to the iCloud on the same account and we get no similar messages on this iPad.
To be on the safe side I also backup both iPads to iTunes at least once per week.
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening.

synching your iPhone to your computer has nothing to do with iCloud backups.
Force an iCloud backup: Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Back up Now
Be sure that Settings>iCloud>Storeage and Backup>iCloud Backup> is ON

Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.
