Iphone 5s mail set up error - The connection to the server failed

I've had hotmail, gmail, and exchange gmail set up on my new iphone 5 and now 5s but the 5s will not connect with my any of the accounts. I'm hoping to keep the exchange gmail and calendar since they were set up before the support was dropped. How do I regain connection to the mail servers for all accounts? Error message says: Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server has failed. If I delete the accounts and add them back will I lose support to sync gmail through exchange??? Please help!!!

Contact the email provider to troubleshoot the issue.
Does any other feature of the device that requires Internet access work?

Check your username, password and account settings for that email account.
If they all look right, then try deleting the account, and re-adding it.

How to resolve "Connection to LDAP server failed." error?

Hello,
I have installed Coldfusion8 on one of my server that was having ColdFusionMX earlier.
The ColdFusionMX admin settings are automatically transferred to the new Coldfusion8 admin page after installation.
Also I have configured all my websites at the time of installation.
After all when I am trying to login into one of my website system is throwing the below error.
"Connection to LDAP server failed."
Prevously it was working well with coldfusionMX. After installed Coldfusion8 I am facing this problem.
Is there anything to do more with cf admin settings page or is this problem is with the code? (Infact I havent modified my cfm code)
Please find the piece of code that I am using.
<cfldap action="QUERY" server="#application.LDAPServer#" port="#application.LDAPPort#" start="#application.LDAPBase#" name="search" attributes="alias, dn, uid, technicalCareerLevel, locationorgunit, givenName, sn" filter="#filter#" scope="SUBTREE" maxRows="2">
Anybody can assist me on this?
Thanks in advance.
Manoz.

I have fixed this problem successfully.
The problem was with the referral attribute of the cfldap tag.
After adding this (referral="yes") attribute to my code I am able to login into my website.
<cfldap action="QUERY" server="#application.LDAPServer#" port="#application.LDAPPort#" start="#application.LDAPBase#" name="search" attributes="alias, dn, uid, technicalCareerLevel, locationorgunit, givenName, sn" filter="#filter#" scope="SUBTREE" maxRows="2" referral="yes">
Any way thanks for your assistance!!!!!

Connect to B1i server failed - HTTP/1.1 404 not found

Hi All,
I currently have B1 8.8 PL14 installed and in the process of installing B1i when I get to Step 3/5: Configure B1i Parameters and select Test Connection I get the error message 'Connect to B1i server failed - HTTP/1.1 404 not found'. I have followed. I have undertaken the installation as per the recorded session by Benno Eberte and regrettably I cannot set a successful connection.
Can anyone assist?
Best regards
Earl

Hello,
personally I think that in step 3/5 the connection via JCO is tested. Please, check the following
Can you connect to your B1i System and have a look for the SLD, there should be a system that points to your company database. If there is a system definition that points to B1if then go further. Check the B1if connection, please take the B1DI connection test, is there a message like
com.sap.b1i.adapter.dia.exception.ConnectionFailedException: Connect to Business One failed.
(-8012) Company version mismatch
{b1Server=..., company=B1if, licenseServer=..., dbType=..., dbUser=..., userName=...}
In case this message comes up and you see B1if then the JCO configuration went wrong and that part is defined in the beginning of the installation.
Hope it helps
Kind Regards

Now when i try to get connect with the server it will give the error that' connection with licence server failed'. I tried with the server name and with server ip in licence server selection but it did'nt help me .
Kindly suggest some solution .
With Regards

Hi,
This following solution to use in the resolving of your problem is from SAP note :
   1. First locate the IP address as follows:
         1. Select "START"
         2. Choose "Run" and type in "command" in the "Open" field
         3. A black window appears
         4. Wait until the command "C:\>" is visible
         5. Write the word "PING" and then type in the Server name and press "Enter" and the line with your IP Address appears (it says "Reply from IP ADDRESS").

Connection to hotmail server failed

Both my iPhone 5 and iPad when retrieving email state the connection to hotmail server failed, even with wifi. Ale to access via safari though. Any ideas?

Hotmail was having mobile server issues yesterday, they might still be having problems.

I keep getting an error pop-up when I try to access my email. The pop-up says Cannot Get Mail The connection to the server failed. I get this pop-up on both my iPhone 5 and my iPad. I can still access my email, but the pop-up is real annoying.

Hi StuNYC,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

I have trouble with sending e-mail and syncing e-mail. Try changing to 1 day sync under settings. It's sluggish but it works for me until they resolve the issue. MS claims all is normal. If you still have a problem you should report it here: https://status.live.com/report/hotmail

HT2480 Ipad mini - exchange email stopped working randomly Error: "Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed."

I got an iPad mini over Christmas and have had no issues setting up/managing my email until yesterday. I've had my Exchange email working for almost a month, and yesterday I stopped getting emails and getting the error: "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed."
I tried resetting the device (multiple times) and deleting and recreating the Exchange account (multiple times). This is getting annoying because it worked fine up until yesterday. I'm not aware of any updates to the device, or any changes that have occurred since yesterday.

Due to a screen issue, I had my iPhone 5 replaced two days ago. I repeated deleted the mail account and kept adding it but this did not make any difference. When I attempted to setup the new phone with my Google (Gmail via exchange active sync) accounts I was receiving this same "Cannot Get Mail" error. From what I was able to gather, this problem should be affecting Gmail accounts set up via Exchange. When originally purchasing the phone I was assisted and directed to set up my Gmail account through Exchange because it had the ability to use "ActiveSync" and push not only mail and calendars, but all of my contacts as well. I found this article regarding the subject.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2413283,00.asp
What it came down to was having to delete my Gmail via Exchange account and separate it into two different accounts, a regular gmail account for my mail and a CardDAV account for my contacts.
Here is what I did. Google is changing their system and for new registrars Exchange ActiveSync will not work so you will be unable to register your account via Exchange and have your mail, calenders, and contacts all pushed together. I find this change really annoying. If you are having problems accessing your contacts after deleting the mail account, like I was, here is the work around.
To circumvent this issue go to Setting > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CardDAV Account: Under server ender google.com, then your email user name and password, then click next to verify the information.
I hope this helps.

Apple Mail The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "

I have had my apple mail set up for some time now, through Gmail, and it has worked fine. I recently moved into a college dorm and now my apple mail gives me this error message
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "POP Account" or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "pop.gmail.com" on port 995 timed out.
I've tried everything I could think to try, including taking the SSL off, restarting, quitting apple mail, redoing all the settings, and nothing seems to be helping me connect. I did the connectivity test and it says it's connected to the internet, it's just not getting the mail from my Gmail account. Thanks,
Aaron

What are the settings for both your Incoming and Outgoing servers, including port number, authentication method, and whether or not SSL is enabled for both?
Also, it's possible your college is blocking traffiic from Google, so you might try changing the DNS Servers by going to System Preferences > Network > Configure > TCP/IP and enter these two:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then click Apply Now, quit System Preferences and restart Mail and any other Internet applications you were running. Check to see if Mail still gives you problems.

Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed. iPhone 3GS & Hotmail

I've got an iPhone 3GS and I'm using Hotmail.
I'm geting the same error message over and over - "Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed.". Out of the blue it started on my phone, but then the email worked again for a day after, and then quit working again. I've tried deleting and adding it as a new account. I tried to go back to what might have in-part caused the problem, and the only thing I had done over the weekend was to turn iCloud on and start backing up to it, but the e-mail did work after that for a couple days. I've tried a couple different Hotmail accounts to see if it was a corrupt e-mail in one account, but both accounts give me the same "Cannot Get Mail" response. Creating the "TEMP" folder on Hotmail and moving e-mails there did not work.
Could anyone spell out in layman's (non-IT) terms what I might be able to try?

Who is the provider? Do you have two-step verification turned on? Did they change something on their end?

Hi my nan keeps Getting an error message of cannot get mail the connection to the server failed.... Can any one tell me what this means please

I too am getting this message. I have been using my iPad for two years with no problems but a couple of days ago I starting having this problem intermittently. I have restarted the iPad when that did not work I deleted the account and reloaded it. Nothing seems to work. I was having the same problem on my iPhone but that seems to be OK today. Any other ideas?

IPhone message. "Cannot Send Mail" "The connection to the outgoing server.

It states:
"Cannot Send Mail" "The connection to the outgoing server "(null)" failed."
This is the error I get attempting to send Yahoo mail using EDGE network on at&t.
I would guess that only 2-3 emails out of every 10 go through. The rest get the above error message.
Please help if you can.
Thanks

Well, if your on ATT Yahoo. The settings are as follows, and I've had luck both sending and recieving with these settings.
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: pop.att.yahoo.com
User Name: *****@sbcglobal.net (or whatever your ATT domain might be)
Password: Required
Outgoing Mail Server
Host Name: smtp.att.yahoo.com
User Name: ****@sbcglobal.net (or whatever your domain happens to be)
Password: Optional (I left mine blank)
Under Advanced
Deleted Messages: Remove After ? (Your Choice)
Incoming Settings
Use SSL : On
Authentication: Password
Delete from Server: Your choice
Server Port: 995
Outgoing Settings
Use SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 465
I've taken these setting from my phone. I can't remember all the domain names for the ATT Yahoo, but I know sbcglobal is one, and I believe attglobal is another. Also to change the ports under advanced, though you shouldn't have to, simply click the port area and a keypad will come up below. You can type the port number there.
