IPad & IPhone Mail problem

For ages now, I have used my Ipad and iPhone to access my emails on their Mail app.
Yesterday and still today I can't access my BT emails on my Ipad or Iphone accept for through Safari. I keep on getting server and password errors. It seems to be a common problem recently with other users having the same problem. I have googled it and done everything I have found but it still doesn't work. I have changed my password, restarted the Ipad, deleted the email account re entered the account. But the only way I can access my emails is by setting it up on my Ipad as an " other" email account. The problem with this is I have various folders I use in my BT account which this method doesn't give me access to like it use to when set up as a yahoo type email account.
Is there a solution out there that will allow me to get my emails and folders as I use to ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry I will try but can't see that helping, because I get the same errors when I switch off WiFi on my IPhone and try over 3G.
What happens in full is.
I go in to the mail on my ipad. It refreshes and pulls off my me.com (apple) emails it then goes for my BT emails.
1st Message is B.T. password missing so I type in my BT password
2nd message is a domain 1032 error and asks for password again.
3rd Message is server unavailable try later
I checked and double checked my password was in my settings, I also read some advice saying to reset password, which I've done and still the same error.
I have tried deleting and setting up again and I have tried numerous restarts and even a restore all resulting in the same error.
Like I said I have also tried setting it up as "other" which works but with limited ability as it doesn't show my folders in my BT account. I can access my BT email via Safari without any problem. I just like the mail app and function which brings a couple of email address together.
From what I have read its a Apple fault and doesn't appear to be a BT one.

Fixing iPhone mail problems in IOS 7

This is a re-posting of my original discussion regarding mail problems with IOS 7 so I could correct the tags associated with the discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23199621?ac_cid=op123456#23199621
I am certain my mailbox names match those on my AOL server, that AOL preferences are set so all mail is saved on the server and my iPhone (4) settings are to retrieve mail from the server, not my iPhone. I have matched the settings on my problem iPhone with my second iPhone that, after upgrading to IOS 7, works perfectly using the same AOL mail account. I have deleted the mail account on the problematic iPhone and set it back up. I have restored the iPhone to factory settings, updated it with my setting from a backup and re-synced my personal data. I do not sync with iCloud because mail syncs well through WiFi or through iTunes. Anyone with similiar mail problems who can suggest fixes that work would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Additional information: i decided to delete both of my iPhone mail accounts and re-enter them using the automated setup in Settings . . . neither account would load because of an error message that the outgoing IMAP server was incorrect. I went to AOL and got the IMAP server "in" and "out" settings but when I tried to enter the correct number, I discovered you can't change it (grayed out). Catch 22 - When setting up the account, iPhone assigns an AOL primary outgoing server number after you identify the @aol.com address, and you can't change it. It is not the one AOL said to use. (Is this the IOS 7 software error that might be causing the problem???) I set up the phones manually again, with the phone automatically entering the outgoing server number, but got a a different error message that I may not be able to send or receive mail. I was able to enter the correct outgoing server number ONLY when I added an additional outgoing server. It lets you enter the server number. Seems when there is a primary outgoing server (the iPhone assigned number) and a backup (one I entered with the correct number) both phones work! I know, complicated! Finallly, I suspected this is all about mailbox behavior on OS X and ISO devices and the problem is likely specific to just AOL accounts so I mapped where mail goes after being sent on all devices . . . interesting. As I suspect, sent mail goes to different mailboxes on OS X devices and ISO devices, so you have to go look for them. They are there, but in different locations. I may have to live with that. Anyone else dealing with this?

IPad / iPhone mail hacked

Okay, here's what's happening.
No one except me is using my iPad or my iPhone. However, my iPad/iPhone contacts list has all received an email from me with a link to http://tiranaschool.org/p1aa8i.php
I haven't sent these things. No one has access to my iPad / iPhone. It cannot be via my email hosting because no contact email addresses are kept on there. I thought it could be something to do with one of my Macs which are connected via iCloud, but it is unlikely, I havent used the Mac for ages.
Short of some expert advice, I have to conclude that something remote, seems to have got into my iPhone/iPad mail and is sending stuff to my contacts list.
Any idea what can be done?

Chances are that your email was not hacked nor was your iPad. If I know your email address, I can set my email app on my computer to send out emails making it look like it came from you.
Just to be safe, you can changes your email password.

Iphone Mail Problems

+*Why cant i send email from my iphone? Everytime i do it, it says "The connection to the outgoing server faild."*+

tpav3,
What email provider are you using? It may be that your email provider does not allow you to send mail from outside of their network.
As a workaround, you can use your provider's outgoing mail server as shown in the section titled "Configuring iPhone mail for EDGE":

Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Ipad/iphone mail

I have multiple email accounts for several different businesses on both my ipad and iphone. I'm haveing problems with one account in particular. It works perfectly on my iphone, but the message "the mail server (names server) is not responding. Verify you have entered the correct account infor into Mail setting" everytime I try to access it. The account settings are EXACTLY the same as on my iphone.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Oh I digress
You sure do.
This is the iWeb '09 forum.
It's Raison d'être is discussing how to create webpages with said app.

Ipad 2 mail problems - very confused

I bought an ipad 2 for my mum as she doesn't get on well with PCs. When I set it up I created a .me.com email address for her. I couldn't send or recieve any emails from the ipad. I kept getting a error saying the user name or password was incorrect. I looked online and a lot of people had the same problem. They suggested to delete the account from 'settings' and start again. I have tried this many time with no improvements. If I log onto the account from my mac, I can send emails, but it will not recieve emails. I then set up a hotmail account which is what I didn't want to do as I wanted to keep things simple for my mum. When I set this up on the ipad 2 it worked first time. Now I'm confused, why does the hotmail account being linked to the ipad work and the Apples own .me.com fail to work.

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Apple Mail, iPad & iPhone mail with GMail imap

Hi,
I'm using a MacBook Pro 13", a iPad 4 (actual retina) and an iPhone 4.
I have issues using apple mail with my Gmail imap account :
Only the inbox seem to be fully compatible with every device I use, but the outbox, for example, seem not to be the same box on all device.
when I send a mail from my MacBook, the sended mail doesn't appear in the Mail's classical outbox but in a sub-box of Gmail box on the bottom, and I can't find any trace of the mail on iPhone/iPad.
Is there anything I can do to make that I have the same Inbox, Outbox, Draft, Spam and Trash boxes in all my device and server.
I tryied with iCloud mail account and this works perfectly !!
If it's not possible, is it possible to set my icloud mail account to be with my own domain name as it is on my Gmail acount ?
thanks

On iOS, there is no local configuration for the Sent Mail. for Gmail, it automatically goes to the Sent Mail folder. But Sent Mail only shows up when you tap Gmail under the Account setings, not in Inboxes. For OSX, however, you may be able to configure a designated folder (that can be either on the local machine or on the account server). To be honest, I can't recall where that configuration is, and do not have the MBP in front of me. This article may help (or provide links to instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5361

ICal iPad, iPhone syncing problems

I have turned off icloud calendars on both devices then I have reset them both and then turned back on icloud calendars, numerous times, yet still my calendar entries do not show up on my iPad.
I have both devices set to show "all events"
This is a recent problem.
I have an iPad 1 and iphone 4s

Many thanks, that was indeed true and it does answer part of the question. Do you happen to know why one event every now and then will not sync properly, but if you erase it and start again, it will? I am not joking....

ITunes/ipad/iPhone synching problems

I have an ipad and iPhone synched to iTunes via the same apple ID. Ive recently deleted a number of tracks in itunes, the ipad syncs correctly and updates the deleted items but the deleted tracks are not being removed from the iPhone? The ipad matches iTunes but the iPhone now does not. How can I get the iPhone to sync correctly and update the deleted tracks?

Wanted to follow up on this as the problem has now been solved (thanks to Apple's excellent support). I had purchased the extended care package when I upgraded my Mac (based on prior experience I knew it would be money well spent). That allowed me to call Apple support and ask them for their help. After removing a set of cache files located in my iPhoto application I'm not able to sync both my iPad and my iPhone. Issue resolved.

Ipad & iphone scroll problems

A recent find...after installing update 8.0 on both my iPhone 5 and iPad retina, I've had little luck with the scroll area within a page working properly. The entire page moves and the section I want to scroll remains stationary. I had little problem prior to this update.

Solved with update 8.0.2

IPad & iPhone Sync problems

This is starting to make a hole in my head!
I have one album that doesn't want to sync with my iPhone. I tried repairing the database - no joy. Then I tried rebuilding the database - even less joy (since it deleted all the images from 2 of my albums and I had to replace those.)
Every time I would try to sync to the iPhone, I would get a -50 error. Meanwhile, syncing the same album to AppleTV worked fine.
OK, I decided this was probably due to a problem with a single photo. So I muddled through testing, and found 4 photos that were preventing the sync. I removed those 4 photos, and it was able to sync with the iPhone.
But then I tried to sync the same album to my iPad, and the -50 error is back. When I get some time, I'll try to track down the additional images that might be causing it for the iPad.
But this leaves me frustrated and confused:
1) Why would the same album sync fine to AppleTV, but have a problem syncing to iPhone and iPad?
2) Why would different photos be causing the same error on different devices?
3) Why is this only an issue for photos in that 1 album?
4) What would cause individual images not to sync?
BTW - to fix the problem with the individual images, I duplicated the master for those files. I then lifted/stamped the adjustments. The new image was able to sync just fine.
Any suggestions?

Well, after hours of troubleshooting, I think I figured out the problem.
First, the fix:
Select all images in the "offending" album.
While holding down the "Option" key, click right and select "Generate Previews".
Then re-sync, and it works.
My theory on why this works:
I suspect there was no problem with the Aperture Library. I believe the problem was with the iTunes Optimized Image Cache - you know, when iTunes says "Optimizing xx of yy images for iPad". That cache, I believe, is only updated when there is a change to the image. I'm also guessing that deleting the image from the device (iPad or iPhone) does not delete the image from the cache, so if you then re-add it to the device, it pulls it from the cache. So the only way to re-generate the cached image is to make a change to the image. This can be accomplished by making additional adjustments to the image. But of course, no one wants to do that. So instead, another way to update the timestamp on the image is to regenerate the preview. When iTunes sees the update to the timestamp, it goes ahead and runs its "Optimizing..." task, recreating the cached image that gets dumped onto the iPad or iPhone.
So, I believe this is actually a bug in iTunes.
