IPhone - cannot read mail messages

I can get the header info for all my accounts -- Earthlink, Yahoo, Gmail, Mobile Me....but the messages only show up as a checkerboard. This occurs both on Edge and Wifi.
Help!

Hi bodhiness,
Try tapping the Mail application on the iPhone and then holding the Home button for ~7 seconds, which will force the Mail application to quit. Then try tapping Mail and viewing an email again.
You can also try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
If the issue persists after relaunching the Mail application and resetting the iPhone, try restoring the iPhone. This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.

I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected. It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message). I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

Hello there dinadinadina,
It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I cannot read my messages on Facebook from my iPhone. Sometimes the entire FB app just shuts down. Yes, I have the latest version.

You can delete and re-download the application. Other than that you need to check with the developer of the application

Is there a way to allow someone to use my iPhone without reading my messages?

I want to allow people to use my iPhone without reading my messages or my mail. Is that possible?
Thank you,
Markis

Yes, I agree you are correct but I don't like the answer. I wish there was a way to create an app that would block it for you.
Muchas gracias para tu ayuda.

Suddenly I consistently receive 3 or more "Cannot Get Mail" messages but all messages are received

I have over a dozen email accounts on my iPhone, a mix of godaddy, gmail... imap and pop. All of them were working fine, and then last week I started getting "Cannot Get Mail" messages, 2 or 3 back-to-back, every time mail is retrieved.
The thing is, I am receiving all messages from all mail accounts, despite these messages. So I have no way of knowing which service they are a result of. I have gone into settings to each account and resaved it, to see if the validation would fail on any, but all are fine.

Have checked them online

When my husband set up his new iPhone I read a message wrong when it popped up on my phone and now our messaging is synced. Is it because we have the same apple ID? Do we need to change that?

Yes, its best to have each individual apple ids. You can also go to settings, messages, send and recieve, start new conversation from, make sure there is a check mark beside each of your own individual email, not the same one on each phone.

Cannot read archived messages

Hi,
I am getting an error saying "Cannot read archived messages; reason: " in Runtime workbench -> Message Monitoring -> Archive. Also i am not able to see any messages there. It says ' 0 Messages from Archive '. However i can see in SXMB_MONI the messages which are archived.
Can anyone please tell me why I am getting this error message in runtime workbench and how can I rectify it?

CANNOT SEND MAIL MESSAGE

I have two e-mail accounts on my iPhone 4. Occassionally, I get a message that reads "Cannot Send Mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient (address) was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying."
The recipients are always individuals to whom I have sent e-mails in the past with no problem (one was my boss!). After the message sits in the outbox for a while, it's sometime sent with no further problem. Anyone else experiencing something like this? HELP!

I am also in a similar boat.
Recently upgraded my phone (iphone4) to iOS 4.1
Now it only intermittently sends emails over 3G, often just sitting there with the spinny wheel and saying 'Sending' for ages, but is fine over wifi. Including wifi provided by my service provider, Vodafone, in the UK. SMTP settings match those provided by the provider (and I have even reconfigured my account on the phone to check), so there is no obvious reason for it not to work.
Anyone else seen this? It feels like the phone is somehow not quite connecting with the server properly and then timing out.

IPhone - cannot send mail

Getting this message:
Cannot Send Mail - The connection to the outgoing server "mail.bellsouth.net" failed. I have spent hours reading various posts on this and still haven't found a solution that will make my phone work. I am so frustrated and have just been putting up with it. Not worth it at this point!
Anyone have any advice?
The e-mails just sit in my outbox and it shows a bar that says "sending" but it never goes through.
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):
Host Name: mail.bellsouth.net:465 (was 25 and didn't work)
User Name: - my user name
Password: - my password
I would really appreciate any advice anyone has. Thank you.

I am a bellsouth.net customer also. I had the same problems. The outgoing mail server is mail.bellsouth.net
I could not get this to work on Edge. It would work if I was on wifi on my isp at home.
I found these setting and they work but you have to turn wifi off to send mail. Does anyone know of a way to send and recieve mail with a bellsouth.net account using both wifi and edge?

Toothless Lion - cannot read mail-header, iTunes do not start automatically, DigitalColor Meter is useless, where has the speed gone

I guess that new versions of a software should improve things - Apple seems to have a different oppinion. There comes the top four of my Lion-Problems (three among a lot of others):
MAIL
In that new interessting summary view (where a bunch of emails with same subject is shown) in many cases the sender address "breaks into the next line" and overlapps the subject. So I cannot read neither the complete subject, nor the senders email address. Has anyone the same problem, or better, a solution for this?
iTunes
I checked the "open iTunes if this iPhone is connected" (free translation from german version), but this does not impresses iTunes any longer. I always have to start iTunes manually to get my phone synced. Any solution here?
DigitalColor Meter
OK, I found something in the community about that issue - so no question here, but a comment: Apple, do you really thing that it is good practise to sell the old version of a software for money in AppStore, while upgrading this software to a useless bunch of bytes for free? Please inform me about that completely new strategy in public relations.
Speed
New OS versions are slower than older ones, because of improved functionality. That is ok. Is there a way to get rid of those new functions (whatever they are, but I did not miss a thing in Leopard, s whatever is new, I guess I do not need it) to get back speed? Loading web pages, starting applications, ... everything is much slower now ... much! Can I stop any services/daemons to get back a bit of speed? And if so, which ones?
Maybe someone could help - maybe Apple with the next upgrade...

Thomas

Thank you for the sympathy and the information about the Adobe.com forum Michael.
I posted here because, to be honest, for a company that's acknowledged their installers and updaters and support needs some work, they seem very determined to obfuscate the means by which users can provide direct feedback to the company. Much like you, I've also noticed a trend in CS5 installations that mirrors the issues that were present in CS4. it's a sad state of affairs.
As for my installation, you are also quite right to say that a clean install would have been a lot faster than what I went through with TS and it was actually my first idea. Before calling TS I'd actually read through the forums and noticed that a large number of users who were faced with my situation had no other choice but to reformat. I was just giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt and wasted 2 and a half weeks through that course of action...
What makes this situation even more frustrating is that the installer failed on a fresh system. It was a custom-built design machine, assembled and configured by myself. The only software that had been installed on it prior to Design Premium was Firefox, an FTP client and the start of my problems, trial versions of various CS4 programs. I used trials just long enough to retire the previous design computer so that I wouldn't contravene the EULA's stipulation of not running more than one instance of software at the same time on different machines. Turns out being honest once again penalised a legal customer.
If there is just thing users should learn from my far from unique tale of failed tech support it's that if you ever run into a problem with the installation, don't bother calling TS, just reformat and start from scratch. It might seem like it'll take longer to get going again, but in actuality, it's the opposite. Reformatting means you'll be up and running in about 1 or 2 days rather than 2 weeks.

"Cannot Get Mail" message

I am using an iPhone5 and keep getting a message that says cannot get mail as username or password are incorrect. They're not!have tried deleting and reinstalling but this doesn't work either. Have also reset phone no luck!I am receiving my Sky emails on both my iPad and MacBook so can't understand why phone won't work?Any help would be appreciated...thank you!

Having the same issue as well. Says my password is incorrect. Have tried accessing the sky email via their website, but it won't let me progress past the confirmation of details screen, where I have to agree to the terms and conditions.. Just returns to the sky help page. this is becoming a serious issue as I cannot access any of my emails . Have also deleted the account on iPad and tried with a yahoo account, but still no joy. Anyone found a fix for this yet?

Cannot get mail message only with hotmail

every time I try to read my hotmail i receive this message, everything was working perfectly until a month ago and then I stop receiving push notifications, and isn't syncing with hotmail server
anyone knows any solution to this problem. I even restore my iPhone 4 but it still not working only works with my gmail account

Unless you are accessing your Hotmail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app, you've never had Push notifications with your Hotmail account nor synced the account with the Hotmail server. Push access for received messages and syncing server stored mailboxes with the server is supported when accessing the account as an Exchange account only.
Email account settings are included with your iPhone's backup. If there is a problem with the account settings on your iPhone and/or with your iPhone's backup in regards to this particular data, restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup will also restore the problem putting you right back where you started.
Have you tried deleting and manually recreating the account on your iPhone?

Iphone cannot be synced message

I finally broke down and synced my iphone to get 3.1.3 but when I did it synced the new firmware but then at the end it gave me this message, "The Iphone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found". I reset it using a backup but still the same message so then I did a complete reset without a backup and still got the message. What is going on? Anyone else had this problem and if so, what can I do to fix it?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

I was having this same problem, and the suggestion of clearing the iPhoto ipod cache (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314 ) didn't work for me.
I successfully sync'd on my laptop (intel macbook pro), but not on my 27" iMac...
I finally swapped my Belkin USB-iPhone cable (black) for the white one that came with my iPhone and the sync just started working in the iMac. Same port, same iPhone, other cable worked elsewhere ... Go figure...

Cannot read mails written in other languages but english

Hi guys, I have this serious problem about writing and reading mails in other languages, for example, Japanese. I have tried both Hotmail in Safari and also Mail application. I think that it might be after the latest upgrade of Mac OS X. Is anybody facing the same problem? Advices needed. Thank you.

Hi guys, I have this serious problem about writing
and reading mails in other languages, for example,
Japanese. I have tried both Hotmail in Safari and
also Mail application.
Could you provide more details about your specific problems? For example, can you not compose in Japanese, or is the problem that it does not come out right at the other end? As for reading, what are you seeing? Have you tried setting the encoding to one of the Japanese options in Message > Text Encoding for Mail or View > Text Encoding for Safari? For webmail, have you tried FireFox? Safari will not work with some systems.
