IPhone mail download problem

My brand new 3GS iphone has stopped downloading one of my Comcast email accounts. I have talked to iPhone support and am now talking to Comcast. Nobody seems to know why or have a solution. Here are the details:
Midday Friday I noticed that I wasn't getting any new emails from my primary Comcast account. Even when I manually did a push on the phone, nothing happened. Saturday, I spent over an hour with iPhone tech support troubleshooting the problem and they were stumped. As part of the trouble shooting, we deleted and re-added the mail account and now the mail only downloaded before 3/26/10. Everything after that date is missing on my phone. I had a friend test the account on her iPhone and the results were the same.
Has anyone had this problem? Suggestions? I need to be able to read my mail on my iPhone.
Thanks

I've had a similar problem with Verizon.
Last week Verizon asked users to change their outgoing port server from 25 to 587.
On April 19th I made the change in my Outlook Express and Gmail browsers, and since then I've not received any mail on my Mac or I-Phone.
I've been on the phone with Verizon everyday for a week.
I keep getting a message on my 4-month old I-Phone saying "Server failed incoming.verizon.net"
Verizon claims it's a problem with my phone and Mac Book and suggests I call Apple. Seems odd that I've had no problems before this, and both go up on me on the same day... Weird...

  • Iphone AppStore download problem

    Hi,
    Whenever I try to download any application from App Store on my iPhone, I get an error saying, "Your account is only valid for purchases in the indian itunes store." and the download stops.
    Please help me with this problem and let me know how to resolve this.
    Thanks so much.

    The account/store used by the iPhone is determined by the computer it syncs to. In iTunes on your computer, on the main page of the iTunes Store, scroll to the very bottom and set the My Store pop-up menu to India. Make sure you are logged into your account in iTunes on the computer. Then, sync your iPhone.

  • IPhone SDK Download Problems

    I have just made the account and started the long download process for the iPhone SDK. When I download the file and it completes the process, I click on it and it says Disk Image not able to mount. I tried that three more times and it still won't open. Any suggestions?

    Another victim here. Happily started downloading iphone SDK just after purchasing my new MacBook and it always stops at 2.1 GB. And of course it is corrupted.
    For those who are thinking about OS or firewalls, here are my trials:
    1. From my MacBook at home
    2. From my HP laptop at home
    3. From my desktop at home
    4. From my HP laptop at work
    5. From my Ubuntu at home
    6. From my Ubuntu virtual machine at work.
    Do you think it is still a client problem? Or the version on the server is corrupted?

  • IPhone App Download Problem

    I need assistance....I have a problem with downloaded apps showing up on my phone (3Gs). When I download the app is says installing then disappears off the home screen when it is done. When I sync to iTunes, it shows up as I downloaded it and appears in the new iPhone pages screen in the new version of iTunes, but not on the phone. I delete it from iTunes and download it from my PC and try again, this time from the PC to the phone. It says it is transferring it to my phone, but never shows up on the home screen. The apps in question are Google Earth and Hurricane. Please help. These are the only two apps I have had an issue with.

    I have the same problem with my iphone. When on itunes the app I've downloaded are there but they will not sync I have dragged them to thw app window also but it will not sync at all. I have restarted it and resync but the problem goes on. I've heard some people jailbroke their iphones but i don't want to do that... any suggestions? Thanks

  • IPhone 6 download problems

    This is my first post and I apologise if this has already been discussed but I am unable to find a similar thread:
    I previously had an IPhone 5 and had no problems loading films & TV programmes (purchased from Apple) from ITunes on my PC  to IPhone 5. I have now downloaded all my purchases from my PC to IPhone 6 (IOS ver 8.1). They took ages to download and although the title page of the film shows there is no button to start play. There is a download progress bar which appears to have stopped approximately one third along the bar (sorry to be so imprecise but I'm not familiar with the IOS system). All the films and videos show the same progress bar which changes from blue to white at the same point (30%)
    I would be most grateful if someone can help me resolve this issue.
    Many Thanks

    Indeed, Apple only puts up the latest update, no way to choose an older version.
    I very emphatically recommend you do the upgrade using the USB cable and thru iTunes. It is the most reliable, safe and probably quick way to do it. Just make sure the computer is plugged to its power supply and try to get it on the fastest Internet connection you have.
    One other thing: set iTunes to do the backup using local storage, NOT the iCloud. That is critical for speedy conclusion and to avoid having bad battery performance afterwards.

    Good day, jc63. Any error message when trying to download? How did you reset your phone? Is that by going to Settings > About? Did you experience this issue from the day you purchase your phone or just recently? BTW, if you're located in India, an active unlimited downloads subscription is no needed to use MixRadio on your Lumia WP8. You can listen to curated mixes, create mixes based on up to three artists, and listen to their own personal "Play Me" mix. All mixes can also be taken offline, and you can have up to 4 mixes offline at any one time.

  • IPhone mail setting problem.

    I have setting my email account in iPhone 4 and the mailbox format is IMAP, but I don't know why it cannot keep the mail for long time, just can keep one week email only. How can I fix the email account setting and keep my email for long time?
    And my MacBook mailbox setting is POP, that's no problem for the mail. It can keep all mail from day one to now.
    I need your help.

  • Iphone 4 Download Problem

    I have just got an iPad and iPhone4 - set up an itune account which works fine on the iPad and can download apps, music, delete etc
    The iPhone when viewing apps or music will not allow me to purchase or download anything free or with a cost.
    Also cannot delete apps on iPhone (works fine on iPad)
    If I try to gift an app it tells me it can only be redeemed in the UK - though prices are in £
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong or need to change ?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    Hi were you able to resolve yours?
    I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
    Perform a hard reboot
    Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

  • Mac Mail.app download problems

    Hello,
    I think I have tried everything.  I am currently trying to do the simplest tax ever.  I want my mail downloads to go to my downloads folder that I see in my downloads folders, the same folder safari does fine downloading too.  However when I click to download something in my mail like a photo or pdf.  It pops up my "Mail Downloads finder" so I went into the mail preferences and changed it to a different folder.  However, it changed nothing.  It sill downloads to the same folder hidden away in a library. 
    Not sure what to do, about to go to the apple store and ask them whats up.
    Anyone have any other advice for me.

    I think I've figured this out. I still have to "sneak up" on my .MAC prefs... but they seem to be working now. In addition, I deleted the Mail.app plist files, which solved my Mail problem.

  • Reg iPhone Mail App (downloading of emails)

    Hi,
    Does iPhone download the entire email when we check for emails?
    Scenario:
    - Open iPhone mail app
    - receive 10 emails
    - open the email to read the contents
    - get ‘loading’ icon..seems as if that’s when it’s trying to get the email
    - the contents received in few seconds depending on the email
    - move on to next email…and see the same loading icon
    Is it that mail app downloads just the headers and the content is downloaded when you actually open that particular email? Ideally, I would like the email to be downloaded completely to my phone…this way I can quickly check my emails and move across the messages.
    I believe Blackberry works differently where the entire email is downloaded and only attachment is downloaded when you try to access it.
    Thanks,

    I have just received the new iphone 4th generation. I have a data plane for 200mb per month.
    My question is wether iphone downloads the whole email message or if it downloads only the headers? If it downloads the whole message, can I opt for only the headers?
    It seems from the first day of use it downloads all messages including the attachments and thus my data usage is huge. In my old Nokia phone only when I required to read the email it will go ahead to download the whole message-is this possible with iphone?
    Marios.

    I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
    After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
    ***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone.

    how do I find the file and replace it or install it?

    I'll reload it tonight when I get home...basically, I bought a new iPhone and downloaded some new medical apps. also had to download an update for iTunes into my mac laptop so I could access iCloud (which was NOT on my prior iTunes software)
    When I synched my new iPhone with the newly downloaded iTunes, I registered my iphone and tried to "back it up" to iCloud and the message indicating that "the required file was not found or has a permissions error...." popped up.
    How do I correct the permissions error, or...am I able to do this somewhere? Or...how do I find the file that is missing?
