Ipad suddenly stopped downloading emails - help!

I was trying to send a large email yesterday with big attachments - it "hung" so i restarted the ipad. Now when i go into mail its just a blank screen with no emails. I deleted and re-added the mail account but still no emails. they downoad fine on iphone and laptop. Anyone have any ideas??

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : 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.
If that doesn't work 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.

IPad suddenly stopped sending emails.

My iPad was working well until about a week ago when it stopped sending emails. A message saying that an error occurred and the email could not be sent appears at the screen. Emails are still being received.

Two things to try:
1. Reboot your iPad: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 110 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
If after rebooting your iPad you still can not send mail:
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar and delete the mail account
Then re-enter the mail account
Make sure you know your ID and passwords, servers, etc., so you can easily add the mailbox back.
I have had to do this, especially with Yahoo once or twice and after doing so, was able to send and receive again.

My iPad suddenly stopped downloading new emails and also started downloading 16000 emails from the server! Why and how to I fix this?

I cannot get new emails and my iPad is trying to download 16000+ emails from the server!

I would delete the e-mail account from your iPad's Mail Account List, Lock & Unlock your iPad by pressing power button to refresh system, than re-add the Mail Account with the correct POP3 + SMTP settings..

My IPad suddenly stopped receiving email on one account

I Have an iPad Air. All of my email accounts work fine on my Mac Mini. One of them does not work on my iPad. This happened suddenly four days ago. Thanks

Thanks! This worked like a charm...only PLEASE look at your incoming and outgoing mail addresses BEFORE you delete your mailbox. After a real struggle I discovered that Apple support could provide that info! So then it was easy sailing. Thanks!

My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails. I have tried every trick and it's still not working.

My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails from the mail app.
I've been looking through the forum for hours and tried every variation of deleting the account, re-adding it, rebooting my iPad etc. I've tried everything! And I still can't receive emails.
My drafts, sent emails and junk emails are all there but my inbox is empty and it's refusing to download the messages.
When I refresh it, "downloading 1 of 250" pops up for a second and then disappears and it just says it's updated yet nothing is there.
Please can someone help. This is incredibly annoying!!!
My mail provider is Yahoo and my wifi is working fine.

My iPad 2 has suddenly stopped sending emails.

My iPad 2 has suddenly stopped sending emails. It puts them in the outbox but that's as far as they go. I've tried turning off ect but no joy. It puts them in the outbox but thats as far as they go.

The restrictions should have no bearing at all as to why mail is not being sent. It will prevent you from making changes to the emai account, so I don't know how you were able to try what I suggested if you can't get into your mail settings.
As for the 10 attempts ...... You get as many tries as you need with that passcode. But the catch is that if you cannot remember it and you need to get into the settings, you have to restore your iPad back to factory settings and start all over again. The only way that you can use a backup is if the backup does not contain that passcode. If you restore from a backup that has the passcode in or, you will jut end up in a never ending loop.
So after having said all of this I would have to assume that you tried my suggestion before you locked yourself out of the settings.

My Ipad has stopped receiving emails today. It has IOS7 on it. The settings are correct but says "connection to the server failed" help!

It is the same accout that has been working find for years and just after I updated the software this has happened. My Mac is still receiving and sending via Outlook with the same account and settings. My Iphone 5C has also stopped and I tried deleting the account and adding again (via exchange as it's an exchange accout) the same way I always do and it won't even recognise it to add the settings.
So annoying. Can anyone help?

HT1349 My iPad suddenly will not email pictures--previously it was ok

My iPad
Suddenly stopped emailing pictures whereas it had worked properly. Any hints on what to do? Thanks.

Start with something very simple. Quit the mail app and the Photos app and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the Home Button. Restart 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.
Try again and see if that helped.

hi

Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.

My iPad suddenly stopped connecting to my home network. It shows the network to. Choose from but there is no IP address or other information on the network page. It is set on DHCP and proxy is set at auto. Do I have another setting wrong?

My iPad suddenly stopped working with my home network. It shows the network to choose from but will not connect. When I look at details in that network it does not show IP address or any other info for the network. Setting is on DHCP and http proxy is set on auto. Network is active and can connect on wife's iPad and other home computers. Do I have another setting wrong?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

TS3694 my ipad suddenly stopped. when i plugged it i only have n icon of itune and a plug. what must i do to restore it?

My IPad suddenly stopped working. I need help!

Error 21 relates to security software issues (from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694):
"Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue."
Is it being detected in iTunes now? Are you getting any other error messages?

Thunderbird stopped downloading emails from the web server and now when I try to add a new account I get a message to say it cannot find the email server.

Thunderbird was working and then for no reason it stopped downloading emails from the web server. I can access my emails in the web server okay. I have tried to remove my account and then add it again as a new account but I get a message saying that Thunderbird cannot find the email server. I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird but with the same result. I have also tried to remove the default mail server but have been unable to do so. How can I fix this?

I figured out a workaround.... Since I can get e-mails to populate via iSync and my other computer is running Leopard (it's a powerpc chip and can't run Snow Leopard), I added the account on the other computer and got the new account to populate into my SL machine with iSync. I don't like that I can't actually add the account directly, but at least this got me working.
