IPhone EDGE not receiving e-mail

I'm not sure how to fix this, but my iPhone will not download new messages from hotmail, gmail, or my work e-mail unless I reset phone. I have it currently set to check mail every 15 minutes, but it doesn't. Then when I went to manually check, it just says "connecting" for forever and never downloads, even though I have full EDGE reception. Has been happening since I upgraded to 2.0. Is there any way to fix this without restoring? Anyone else having problems? Am sending just fine.

I've had this problem ever since upgrading to v2.0. I've read the suggestion about holding the home key for 5 seconds, and will be giving that a try the next time I notice that my mail is hanging up.
I would hope that this is something that Apple is looking to resolve asap. Granted, I don't have the time in the day to manually reset or check my phone for mail, but it "was" nice to get that little ding every time I received a message on one of several mail accounts. One of the things I've come to love about my iPhone was the ability to have the phone fetch new mail at an interval set by me, and since the new software came out, I've had to reset the phone every time I notice that it isn't fetching or pushing mail. What's the use of having these options on the phone if the upgraded software is preventing the phone from checking/getting mail..
Just my two cents,
Hope everyone has an awesome weekend.

  • Iphone mail app not receiving e-mail from 1 sender

    The Mail app on my iPhone 6/iOS 8.3 is not receiving e-mail from one sender sent to my Outlook e-mail account. This sender's e-mail address is "[email protected]". It is a notification of digital magazines available from Zinio. I know the mail app is not receiving the e-mail because Outlook 2013 on my desktop and Outlook.com do receive these e-mails. How can I get the mail app on my iPhone to receive these e-mails from this address?

    Initially it sounds like something with your backup data caused the issue with your new device but if you restored your device again without using the backup and the issue still exists it wouldn't appear to be the issue at all. Since the problem seems to only be with one person are you sure it's not an issue on their end and with their network that is stopping you from receiving the messages? Have you tried *228 option 2 to see if that helps?

  • My iPhone is not receiving mail but these messages continue to flash at the bottom of the screen:  Checking for messages, Updated just now, checking for messages, etc.  After a minute or so it will flash downloading 1 - 32 messages but nothing is received

    My iPhone is not receiving mail but the following messages continue to flash over and over at the bottom of the screen:  "Checking for messages, Updated just now, Checking for messages", etc.  After a minute or so it will flash downloading 1 - 32 messages but nothing is received and then the "Checking for Messages," etc. starts back again.   I turned the phone off for 30+ minutes and also tried to reset it, but the problem continues.   Any ideas on how to solve the problem?

    Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
    If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

  • My iPhone does not receive call phones

    My problem is that most of the time my iPhone does not receive phone calls. I can call, send and receive sms, mail works, wifi, everything. But most of the incoming calls are not received, therefore my iPhone is not reliable as a phone. I have updated the firmware, I have reset it several times, but nothing changed. If I make a call phone and don't switch my iPhone, the person I have call can call me back and likely I would receive the call!!??? Someone can help me to fix my problem? Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Try testing the iPhone without any accessories.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1737 provides general tips that will resolve most issues related to making and receiving calls.
    Try contacting the cellular service provider, if the issue persists after trying the tips in the article above. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937 provides support resources for iPhone service providers.

  • Not receiving incoming mail

    I have a google apps account, where google is the mail server for my domain. I get email at my domain name through gmail.
    I set up my iphone to sync with this account, and my incoming and outgoing mail settings are the same setting as on my home computer. My iPhone is not receiving any incoming mail but i am able to mail out. How do i fix this?

    i understood where u were going with that question. i just logged onto my google apps account and changed my settings to "keep a copy in my inbox" is that what i should do? i then sent a test email from my home computer to my email address... and got it on my iPhone
    THANKS

  • Do not receive E-mail from apple.

    have forgotten my password.assigning my E-mail for recoving password.i do not receive E-mail from apple

    I have a similar issue: I can send and receive email on my MBA, from my iPad and iPhone, but suddenly I can't send or receive on my MBP (computers running 10.8.4). I can get mail from icloud.com.
    In System Preferences I signed out of my icloud account and then re-entered my credentials and signed in again: No Change.
    I have the Triangle with the ! in the middle of it next to my Inbox. I've gone to Mailboxes > Take all accounts on Line with no change.
    In Mail Preferences nothing has changed and all Accounts tabs are exactly the same as on my MBA which succesfully receives mail.
    The Connection Doctor indicates that there is a problem with iCloud IMAP mail.
    I've tried turning off SSL: No Change
    What to do?

  • Iphone will not receive emails

    I recently changed my password on both my yahoo account and itunes account.  i have an ipad and an iphone.   My ipad is receiving emails under my old password, and my iphone will not receive emails under the new or old password.  when I try to enter password for email under setting on iphone, it gives me the message that the yahoo server is unavailable.  again, my ipad has no problems receiving emails nor does my wife on her iphone. 

    I don't have any other email accounts on my phone and I don't get any type of error message.  It just says "Checking for Mail" and I receive nothing, so I know that it is accessing my work email system.  I haven't made any changes to my account.  I only accepted the message to update my carrier system.....I do have an appointment with the local Verizon store to see if they can help.
    Just FYI, my Exchange email account still works on my iPad, so I'm pretty sure the settings are correct.

  • Can not receive Mac mail -error Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct.  Account name: "MacMail"

    What are the correct mail account settings and more importantly the correct DNS settings
    Thank you for any help you may be able to provide

    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
              •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 993
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
              •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 587
              •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

  • I'm not receiving e-mail on my "New" iPad, and I want tdeleted my yahoo mail account and reinstall it.  When I go to settings to delete the account, it says I will lose everything in notes, calendars, reminders, etc.  Can I delete ONLY the e-mail account?

    I'm not receiving e-mail on my iPad (3).  I want to try deleting my yahoo mail account and reinstalling it, but when I go to settings to do this, it appears that I will lose my notes, calendars, reminders, etc.  Is this right, or is there another way to do this?

    Give it time. Yahoo has had persistent issues the past few weeks. wait 24 hours or so and then try again.

  • How do I rebuild a new Mail account? (recipients not receiving e-mails)

    For the last few days, various e-mails I have sent have not reached their recipients when I send them from my Mail application. There is no pattern to whom is and is not receiving e-mails I have sent. All messages show as being Sent and I receive no bounce-back error messages. Some recipients receive e-mails days later, some all the time, some not at all. If I send e-mails using other applications on other computers, including online apps, all e-mails are received successfully by their recipients.
    So, I have determined through the process of elimination (after speaking with my internet provider and Apple support) that I need to rebuild my Mail account (I've created a "test" account and the problem is fixed — everyone across the board is receiving my e-mails fine). There seems to be no idea as to what could be causing the problem, but I am hopeful that at least I know that building a new account can remedy it.
    The obvious question — how to I delete my old account and create a new one without losing all of my current Inbox e-mails, customized mailboxes, smart mailboxes etc. I have no doubt this process has been outlined somewhere on this forum but after some searching I haven't found anything. If someone could point me to a previous thread, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    And, out of curiosity, if anyone has any idea what could have caused this (Apple Support and Internet Provider tech support both stymied) to happen, I would be interested to know!
    Thanks in advance for anyone's time.

    Hi Deirdre, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    For safety...
    First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
    (Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
    Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    Is this bad account IMAP or POP?
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

  • TS1843 Not receiving apple mail.  Connection Doctor says not connected to server.  Yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

    Not receiving apple mail.  Checked connection Doctor.  Not connected to server, yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

    No, I have a Mac and my email connects via our pacbell account we've had for years.  However, something in the Preferences/Accounts is not correct I am guessing.  Also, it asks for the password and if I put it in and click save through general or viewing, it's NOT saving it and still not allowing me to get email. My husband tried reading about this through our AT&T acct and said to change the incoming server to imap.mail.yahoo.com and outgoing smtp.mail.yahoo;[email protected], but now I can't receive or send any email on my Mac. In advanced not sure if it should be Port of 465 or 900 something or other and SSL checked or not.  I called AT&T and they want to take over my machine by charging $15/mos for a year to fix this.  Ridiculous. 
    So, everytime prior to yesterday, when my husband messed around with it, I was getting a POP needs password box, typed in my password, but to no avail..Then it Keychain password popped up and assumed it was the same, but there's no way to change or modify it even using the new password my husband set up through AT&T.  I am at a complete loss.
    I can access mail through yahoo mail and it takes me to AT&T Yahoo Mail, but no contacts are there so needless to say this is a pain.
    I appreciate any assistance you can give me so I can get back on my email as I have for 4 years.
    Thanks Hackintosh...I look forward to hearing from you....you can use the email above and it will come to me through my yahoo web page....Thanks again and let me know if you need any other information.  If you respond on here, I may not get the answer from you as I didn't know you responded until I came on discussions.  THanks

  • I'm not receiving any mail into the Junk Mailbox

    Hi
    I had a problem with the ports of the 2 accounts that I have set up in Mail (one of those is mac.com) due to an excess of space used. I tried several options and it finally it worked. As a result, a week later I realised that I was not receiving any mail into the Junk Mailbox... I don't know if it is related to the orher problem, maybe not.
    Essentially I am no longer receiving any junk mail at all - and no mail that is even doubtful (ie from an unknown address). The mails are not showing up even online via MobileMe ... so I have no idea where they are!
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Yes, I'm the author of the form and I expected the generic notification to be sent to that email but none is coming through.  I also see that there is a place on the settings page to enter a custom notification email but that is grayed out unless I upgrade.  I just want at least one, generic email to be sent to me so that I can know when a user submits a form.
    Here's my screen shots:
