Iphone 4s suddenly stopped pushing email

Had phone for about a month and was working fine.
Now I have to manually open mail app to recieve e-mail.
Did not change any settings. I believe the operating system updated when I sync to my pc.
I use Yahoo mail. It seems that a lot of people are having this problem.

  • HT201317 My Photo Stream has suddenly stopped pushing my photos to my PC though they appear on both my iPhones. Any ideas why or how to make it work again?

    My Photo Stream has suddenly stopped pushing photos from my iPhone 4s to my PC although they are appearing on my other iPhone. Any ideas why or how to fix the issue? I have not altered any settings.

    Hi Kevinmvb,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.

  • Iphone randomly stops pushing email

    My iphone 5s has recently decided to stop pushing email...sometimes.  Today for example all was good until about the afternoon when I didn't get any more email messages, or so I thought, when I checked my computer tonight I had 5 new email messages but my phone showed nothing, it always fixes itself when I open up mail on my phone it gets the new messages then starts to push messages again...until randomly a few days later it stops.
    This happens both with the mail app and my gmail app.  I can't seem to figure out it's problem.  I sometimes turn my wifi off and on when I don't want it to connect at work, but other than that there seems to be no logical reason for this.
    All apps and software are up to date.  This only seems to have started happening about a month or two ago.
    Other things like imessage and texts messages push just fine.

    Rachel,
    This reminds of me an issue we used to have with iPods -- often times it turns out to be a problem with one or more songs in your library. Were these all songs you purchased from the iTunes store, or did you get them elsewhere?
    If elsewhere, you may need to try a rebuild of your iTunes library. Here's the easiest way to start (and to see if this is the problem). First of all, do not do anything without a backup of your music (you need a backup of your music anyway). If you don't already have one use DVD writable media and any backup software and make sure you've written all your songs out. This is particularly important on any songs you've purchased (if they came from CDs you own that can be considered your backup, although you will have to rip them again).
    Now go to iTunes and in the library select all your songs (Ctrl-A) and press delete. Now -- be careful here, do not answer "Yes" when it asks you if you want to remove them from your hard drive. They will then disappear from iTunes but still be on your hard drive. Locate them on your hard drive (in Windows use Explorer). They will most likely be in your "My Music" folder but you can also search for them (if they came from outside the iTunes Music store they most likely have the extension MP3). Once you find them do not drag them all over into the library -- here's where we want to test something. Just drag over a few, not more than 10 or 20 (you can drag over a folder or two if each folder contains an album, which is normal).
    Try syncing again and if that works then you know a couple of things. After that you can drag all your music back into your library and try a sync and if that doesn't work you know there is something wrong with one or more of your songs. But often this may clear up any problems.

  • TS3899 suddenly stopped sending email

    for the past week my iphone 5 has stopped sending emails from my personal (comcast) account and my work (exchange) account.  Tried resetting phone, removed and re-input email account information, turned phone off for provider to do a reset.  Still nothing.  Verizon is out of ideas to fix this issue.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I was having this issue as well with my Yahoo mail and tried everything. The one thing that worked for me was double clicking the home button, closing the Mail app, then reopening it. Suddenly all my emails synced. Anyone else having this problem should try this. :)

  • TS3899 My iPhone 4s suddenly stopped receiving incoming mail.

    My iPhone 4s suddenly stopped receiving incoming mail.  I am still able to send from my iPhone but not receive.My email is still coming through on the desktop, sending anbd receiving.

    Thanks for the reply. The SMTP is the Outgoing , which is working.  I cannot find the incoming settings though. Are there any? The settings were never changed by me, I think there has been a network change somewhere. AT&T or Apple. I have rebooted several times, and even did a restore.  Same problem. The "checking email" and "last Updated xx/xx/xxxx" message at bottom of screen just constantly flashes on and off when I check email.
    I can send email from my iPhone ok.

    My iPhone 5 suddenly stopped opening the Apple Mail app.  It had worked flawlessly for years, but just stopped.  It worked on my iPad, and of course on the computer.  What's going on, and how do I fix it?  I've turned the phone on and off several times, soft reset several times.  There was no change in any settings when this happened, nor any new apps were added.  Thank you for any help you can give.

    Does it not work either way? Sending and receiving? Did you check the settings and make sure that nothing has changed? If you can receive email, but not send it, check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • IPhone mail app stopped pushing mail

    I am having the same problem with all 3 of my mail accounts including my mac mail and gmail. I've tried all of the fixes, resetting the accounts, restarting the phone, etc..  but as of four days ago, it simply stopped pushing email in or out. It looks like it's trying with the spinning wheel at the bottom, but the wheel doesn't appear at the top of the screen so I know it's actually accessing the server. I can still access the Internet and such, so it's not a connection problem.
    Please advise.

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

  • 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.

    Hi - did you get any resolution to this? I have exactly the same issue.
    You tagged onto an older post. If you want an answer to your specific question, you need to create a new post. By creating a new post, you will receive emails when helpers post responses.

  • 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 iPhone 4S suddenly stopped synching with my Outlook after I downloaded latest updates. I get this message: iTunes unable to load provider data from Synch Services. Reconnect or try later. What to do?

    My iPhone 4 suddenly stopped synching to my Outlook 2010. This may be a result of downloading the recent iPhone and iTunes updates. I get this message: "iTunes unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try later."  Another message tells me to delete the back up data on my computer as it is corrupted. I cannot locate this back up data. What should I do?

    got that once a reboot and it was fine again

    My iPhone has suddenly stopped working. It now says the battery is dying and to charge it. After charging it for over an hour, there is no change. The power won't come on, and I am left with a blank screen advising me to plug my phone into the charger.

    Try different USB Cable, try different Charger. Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, most likely it could be battery or charging port assembly that need replacement.

  • Outlook 2013 suddenly stopped sending email

    good morning and happy new year.
    my outlook suddenly stopped sending emails. I can still receive emails. but no luck sending. I've added a new account to my outlook and that one sends/receives fine. I have the email on my phone it sends and receives fine. I've tried uninstalling than reinstalling
    outlook. Nothing changed. tried the quick fix as well as the internet longer fix. same result nothing changed. this is my business email so I really need to get it figured out. Please Help

    Happy New Year.
    Without the detail information of your email accounts, it is difficult to move on. Could you please tell the type of you email account, Exchange, POP3, IMAP or Live account? If it is an Internet account, please detail the email provider, like Gmail, Yahoo
    or else.
    The following link is some common troubleshoot steps for sending and receiving messages issues
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/286040
    In most cases this scenario happens if the sending message is stuck in the Outbox somehow, what we could next do is to identify the cause why it would happen.
    1. Is there any large message remain in the outbox folder?
    2. Authentication problem or simply password expired.
    3. The sending message is called by another application like mailscanner?
    Our MVP Diane has written an useful article that talking about this:

    You may reference it and solve the problem. If the issue still persists, feel free to post back with the error code and message. Thanks.

  • MY iPhone 5C suddenly stopped working. It wont connect to my Mac and repeatedly reboots from the apple Logo when plugged into the wall. Help!

    MY iPhone 5C suddenly stopped working. It wont connect to my Mac and repeatedly reboots from the apple Logo when plugged into the wall.
    There is no water damage or anything. I got that checked at the Apple store. I also have Apple Care + but didnt let them give me a new one yet because I have photos on this that I have no yet backed up that are very important. They are the last photos I have with my grandfather. Can anyone help me. Please!

    If the phone shows the "connect to iTunes" screen, the data on the phone is most likely lost.
    Connecting in recovery mode is your only chance to use the phone again, besides getting it serviced by Apple.
