IPad won't stop checking mail

iPad won't stop checking for mail - it has been over an hour and still checking. Also my primary email does not pick up all my mail.

Thanks so much for your reply!
I should have also mentioned that I've deleted the account, did a reset, and even a restore (at apple's suggestion) and nothing has helped. I just finished reentering all the account info after the restore and it still has the "checking for mail wheel spinning". I have 15 iPads in this office and haven't had an issue with any of them expect this one.
It also has the "Load More Messages..." 29 messages total, 0 unread - at the bottom of the inbox, but it won't let me select it or "load" any more messages. It does send and receive emails just fine though. Slow, but fine.
Any other thoughts?!

Mail won't stop checking some accounts

Anyone have this happen before? Mail won't stop checking a couple accounts I have. They are accounts we use every single day, run off our own server. They will check fine on other macs, but not this iMac starting a few hours ago. I have rebuilt the boxes, deleted all mail from the servers and updated to 10.5.4 just in case. Still the same thing.
I have to force quit, then once restarted it will grab new e-mails before it craps out and just sits there spinning on accounts again.
Ideas? Thx.

I'm experiencing the same issue with one of my POP accounts as well.
I've tried the "Rebuild" command in the Mailbox menu as well as rebuilding the Apple Mail Envelope Index, but it's still attempting to sync.
Has anyone found a resolution to this issue?

My iPad won't stop asking for my Apple ID no matter what I do. What do I do?

My iPad won't stop asking for my appl no matter what I do. I've tried resetting but I can't even look for waiting apps, because it won't stop asking.

Did you check if you are still logged in with your info in Settings/iTunes and AppStore/AppleID?
If yes, Did you try to log out, reset the iPad, and log in again with your Apple ID?

Mail App stopped checking mail

Hi. Mail App stopped checking mail suddenly. I was able to check my mail at 10:15 this morning. Now when i tell it to get mail it does nothing at all. I repaired permissions and reboot and still no luck. Any ideas?

Try locating and deleting these two preference/plist files:
~(yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
~(yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist

IF THE ABOVE DOESN't WORK, FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

Won't stop checking for mail!!! *fixed but not solved*

Hey all, my iPod touch is stuck in a weird way. It's working fine in every aspect except it will not stop "checking for mail". It's been in that mode for about 10 hours now, it isn't' receiving mail, just got the little spinning wheel and saying "checking for mail". I even have the wi-fi turned off!
It appears to be wearing my battering down much faster and I have tried everything I can think of, connected it to my mac, synced content, turned off wi-fi.
Does anyone know of anything else I can do?
Thanks in advance,
Stephen
EDIT: Forget it, tried turning it off and on and that fixed it. Sorry I didn't try that first...
Still have no idea why it happened though...

My iPad won't stop restarting itself since it died and i plugged it in, what's wrong with it?

My iPad died and i plugged it in and now it won't stop restarting itself, it goes apple logo, loading, shut off and then it repeats itself. I thought that maybe the iPad got just enough power to start restarting but then died midway through and that just kept continuously happening.

Try a reset: Hold down the power and Home buttons together until the Apple logo is displayed, then release. No data or settings are lost.

Stop Checking Mail Account

I recently had to stop using one of my email addresses -- and so I want Mail to stop checking that account.
But I don't want to lose the existing emails. I'd like them to continue to show up in my In Box and Sent Mail folders.
Does anybody know if this is possible? If I disable the account, the existing mail disappears. If I deselect "Include when automatically checking for new mail," mail is still checked when I hit "Get Mail" -- and I still get an error icon next to the In Box folder.
Anybody have any suggestions? Do I have to move all the mail to another "on my mac" folder?
Thanks for any light anybody can shed --
Steve

Thanks -- good idea.
But I'm still seeing the little error icon (triangle with exclamation mark in it) next to the In Box. If I click it, the account goes back online. But the error never goes away. This means that I can never tell when I really have a connection error -- because the error condition is always present.
Any idea?
Thanks again,
Steve

TS3899 I was using my email this morning on my ipad as normal just checking mail, all was fine, and late it started ppopping up cannot connect to mail, password or user address is wrong..! i can log in to my emails going through the internet directly to s

i was using my email as normal this am on my ipad and the imac... i then started getting messages cannot connect to mail password or username incorrect.. i can get into my account on my desktop going in through safari so what has happened!! cannot get into my mail on any of our apple appliances..

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
Try deleting and re-adding the email account (Settings App > Mail,Contacts,Calendars)

Using mail my iPad won't reorient. Stuck on one view. Only a problem with mail.

Ipad won't reorient in mail. Everything else is OK. Any ideas?

Quit the mail app and restart.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you 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 to close the apps. 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.
Or - reset your iPad.
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.

IPThad won't stop bugging me to set up cellular data account

My iPad won't stop bugging me to set up a cellular data account even though setting is turned off. This is really annoying.

This worked for me. Thanks.
edited to add: it worked for a week and now the popup has come back even with airplane mode on.
this never happens w my ipad mini1 cellular. Ohwell.

Use your PC to sign-on to your mail service using the browser interface they provide. Delete all the e-mails you don't want on the server. That will prevent the iPad from downloading them.

I have just had a replacement IPad as the camera stopped working. Now the new iPad won't recognise my aol e mail for face time as well as my apple id. I have tried adding as a second e mail, but it says already in use

I have just had a replacement iPad as the camera stopped working.
Now the new iPad won't receive FaceTime calls at my aol.com email.
If I try to add it as a FaceTime address it just says email address already in use.
I guess it is still linked to the old iPad in some way
Any suggestions? The old I pad is wiped and back in the store

This Apple article should be able to help ya out -> iOS: FaceTime is 'Unable to verify email because it is in use'

Mail - Won't stop recovering messages!

A couple days ago, I was trying to email some .zip files (they were photos that I put in a .zip) to my friend. However, they were too big so it didn't send. So I ended up just not emailing them at all and quit out of Mail.
Now, whenever I open Mail, there's a new folder called "ON MY MAC" and under it is "Recovered Messages." The messages under the "Recovered Messages" folder is all the emails that I tried to send to my friend a few days ago. I tried deleting these messages from the folder, but they keep coming back! Mail keeps recovering these messages, but I don't need them anymore. I just want to delete them. How do I stop it from automatically recovering these unnecessary messages?
Also, the spinning circle next to my inboxes won't stop spinning. Which I think slows down Mail entirely... I tried going to Window > Activity and tried to stop the activity, but then it would just start up again. So now I usually just get frustrated with Mail lagging all the time and just quit out of it.
