Live Mail (Hotmail) Connot Get Mail The connection to the server failed

So i have a hotmail/live email account(s). the hotmail account is a paid account. I set it up and it works great, then after sometime i get the dreaded Cannot get mail error. I can delete the account and reconfigure it and the sec it checks for mail i get the error message. All my other accounts work: Exchange x 2 and gmail.
I tried a @live.com account and it doesn't give me an error message, it just doesn't show anything in the inbox.
I have an IPAD 2, 32 gig verizon 3g. Same issue regardless of wifi or cellular.. Firmware is 4.3.5 (8l1)
Any help as this is very frustrating.

I to have encountered the same problem.. When i add other adresses via the Windows Live tool in the menu 'E-mail' everything works.
Though with my standard e-mail nothings seems to work.. Always get 'Connection to the server failed'!
This worked like a charm on my iphone 3G and Ipad 2 since May.. And now it's down
I've tried re-adding my account, unlocking via Google, timezone... Can anyone help? This is really frustrating

  • Visio - bug - The server failed to process the request

    Hi
    When uploading a visio diagram into one of our sharepoint document libraries we then get a 'The Server failed to process the Request' error when we then try and view the document in the Web Browser. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks

    I understand that this is an old thread. The following might be useful to other readers engaging this issue in the future.
    I experienced the same error message when provisioning a new instance of the Visio Graphics Service application for a new farm.  I first tested the approach presented by sjb500 and found that this approach did resolve the problem.  I then
    explored using a more limited permission approach.  Over the course of several attempts, I eventually found that I only need map the application pool identity to the SPDataAccess role to resolve the problem:

    This appears to be an error message which has it roots in MS DTC, Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
    This indicates that you somewhere manage to get a distributed transaction. This could be because of two things:
    1) There are triggers on the tables that accesses linked server.
    2) Your client code dabbles with some transaction class, like TransactionScope or similar.

  • 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?

  • Ihave an iphone 5.  Everytime i click on my hotmail icon is says...cannot get mail.  The connection to the server failed.  i hit ok and then it downloads my messages.  Also at the bottom the updated date is saying that it is june 4 not june 9th

    I have an iphone 5.  Everytime i click on my hotmail icon is says...cannot get mail.  The connection to the server failed.   I have to hit ok a couple of times and then it downloads my messages.  Also at the bottom the updated date is saying that it is june 4 not june 9th

    i would suggest deleting and readding the mail account in settings > mail contacts calendars

    I have deleted and added my hotmail account on the ios device yet it keeps giving me the "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed"

  • HT4623 I have an IPhone4 S which when using Outlook suddenly displays the following warning: CANNOT GET MAIL.THE CONNECTION TO THE SERVER FAILED

    Hello,
    I bought a used Apple IPHONE 4S about 6 weeks ago. For all this past period, it was working beautifully. This morning, I started having poblems with connecting JUST on OUTLOOK or Hotmail and on Microsoft Exchange. All other programs, such as Gmail, Yahoo as well as other apps, such as Facebook, Whatsapp, Facetime, are ALL working properly.
    the One problem I am having is when I try to log onto my Outlook ( ex Hotmail) account, I get a window with the following warning:
    "CANNOT GET MAIL. THE CONNECTION TO THE SERVER FAILED"
    I have done everything to solve it from taking out the card to switching it off to resetting the network to deleting my account to re-starting ..NOTHING worked.
    PLEASE can you advise me what to do? The Network server was working great. So what happened and how can i fix it?
    Thank you
    Nina ...

    The issue isn't with Apple/iphone or your network.
    The issue is with Hotmail, there have been a ton of threads on this already with other user having issues.
    You'll have to wait until hotmail resolves the issue.

  • TS3899 for several months now i cannot receive my email.  it says cannot get mail the connection to the server failed.

    the note says the connection to the server failed.  i can get everything else off the internet but not my mail.  i think i was checking out the icloud and might have accidently done something with my email to make it stop being available to me.  how can i check out the icloud issue?  I have never used icloud before.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    Hi
    Overnight both my hotmail accounts on my Iphone 4s, through Mail, have stopped working and I cannot access my email. Every time I try I get the message "Cannot get Mail. Connection to the Server Failed"
    I have rebooted my phone, deleted and readded the accoutns and even reset my network settings to factory seeting but nothing works. A few hours ago it randomly started working again but has since stopped.

    Contact Microsoft to see if Hotmail is having any issues.
    The issue described is not an iPhone or iOS issue.

    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.
