Mail account not working in iPhone

One of my POP mail accounts is suddenly not working - I click on the inbox and it shuts down. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Try these as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
2. Delete and reinstall the account
3. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
4. Restore as a new iPhone

"Push" E-Mail still not working with iPhone!

I'm not sure what the problem is here with Yahoo and Apple but to this day I still encounter very big issues with push E-Mail regarding Yahoo and Apple...it just doesn't work! I now have a new iPhone (2G, 16GB) because I dropped my old one and the screen cracked (cement ouch). Anyways I got my new phone last week (via eBay) and once again push mail is not working. I either have to manually check or mail comes in when it feels like it...in some cases HOURS later! Or if my phone is locked/asleep the mail doesn't come into my phone until I pick up my phone and start using it. Yesterday I went to go use my phone, I slid the slider to unlock it to bring me to my home screen, the mail icon showed no mail. The next thing I know all this mail starts pouring into my phone (22 messages to be exact)! I was like geeze...this is so messed up!

Push email continues to not function properly for me as well. The only time it ever works is if I'm actively on the phone after its been sleeping for a while, or when it polls for my other email accounts (in which case I get my "push" email at the same intervals as my regular email, making push worthless).
None of the other functions of the iPhone does this. When I receive a call or SMS text message, my phone notifies me immediately. What is the purpose of having "push" email that notifies me when I received new mail if I have to still manually check my device? This has been one of the iPhone 3G's weaknesses since launch and STILL has yet to be fixed.
Running iPhone 2.2. Software 2.2.1 did not address any changes with Mail.

Yahoo mail password not working on new iPhone 5

Hello tifftann,
I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear what exactly you mean when you say that your Yahoo account "stop[ed] working". If you are having issues sending or receiving from the Yahoo mail account you have configured on your iPhone after a recent iOS update, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

TS3899 Hotmail account not working in iPhone 5 mail app

At first I thought it was a COS, College of the Sequoias, as in the college I'm going to, Hotmail situation BUT it turns out it's a Hotmail in general situation because my other Hotmail account doesn't show my inbox or sent mail at all. I sent up my Hotmail account properly, go to it on the mail app, click on it and the inbox is empty. So is the sent box. Go to hotmail on the browser..there's all my mail! Just not in my Hotmail account in the mail app! I tried to set my Hotmail account on Jennifer's iPhone 4S.. No luck. Same thing happened when I tried on mum's iPad!
The strange thing is my COS hotmail account WAS set up on their BEFORE then iOS6 update just flawlessly. I get my iPhone 5 and decide to delete my email accounts from the iPad now that I have my phone. When hotmail decided to go all wonky I tried resynchronize my COS hotmail on the iPad again because I know it worked there. But I had updated the software since then. Thus it not working now!
My gmail and yahoo accounts are working flawlessly on my mail app however the Hotmail..not so much! I've been doing some research on the net..could the update be the problem?? If so, I can't wait for the iOS 7 software update!

Same here. I, too, have tried everything, including removing and re-adding the Hotmail account and SMTP servers, rebooting, you name it. Some folders seem to sync sometimes, but some do not ever. The main inbox does not sync at all. In addition, the problem seems to be strictly with Apple Mail on my iMac and MacBook Pro. The issue does not occur on my iPhone 6 or iPad Mini. I was very pleased with Apple Mail until now.

Me outgoing mail server not working from iPhone / Reply to email address

Hi, I have MM sent up on my iPhone and Mac, the SMTP outgoing mail server does not work from the iPhone but does from the Mac, to get around this I changed the outgoing server on the iPhone to my optusnet outgoing server, that has been working fine, the problem I have is if someone reply's to a email from the phone it gets bounced back becuase the reply to email address for me is @mac.com not from @me.com
I have tried to change the reply to email address in the phone but it only allows you to change the name not the @mac.com
I have only ever had a Me account not a .Mac account so I dont know why its locked to @mac

I deleted the MM account on the phone and reinstalled it again. Now it is working.

Mail Account Not Working

Mail on my Air is able to receive and send mail from my University email, but after syncing the mail client with my new iPhone 5 yesterday, I still cannot send/receive mail from that account on my phone.
I first set it up on my Air through the Mail new Account interface. My university uses a Gmail Apps interface, so it was relatively easy. IMAP is enabled on my server with all of the correct options (double checked with a tutorial). The account works perfectly on my mac and am able to send and receive.
I then plugged in my iPhone 5 and synced it using iTunes with emphasis on the Mail Accounts option. All of my accounts are on my phone (iCloud, personal Gmail, and Univ. Gmail). I can send/receive from the first two, but still no go on the University account. It gives me a message whenever it attempts to send or receive saying that my username or password is incorrect - when in fact it isn't.
Am I missing something? Is there a reason it worked flawlessly with my own Gmail account (which is a Google Apps setup with my personal domain as well) but not my University account?
Thanks, everyone.

Exchange mail account not getting deleted - Iphone froze

Exchange mail account is not getting deleted if i try it and
it frozes the iphone.
Switch off the phone and restarting doesn't help
Same thing happens when you try to change contact off in exchange mail properties.
I have 3G iphone with firmware 2.1

I have the same or a similar problem - after my update to the firmware on friday, i have intermittent ability to download email.
i have 4 accounts on my phone - a mobile me account, 2 accounts through Cox servers, and my exchange account. I was able to download from all accounts just once after updating the firmware 3 days ago.
The Cox accounts are the only ones that work - and only sometimes. outbound emails become phantom emails and go nowhere.
I lost the domain information in my exchange account. when i go in to update it, it freezes and won't save the new domain or let me leave the settings screen unless I hit the home or sleep/wake buttons.
i tried deleting the exchange account to recreate it, but it freezes on that.
I lost my calendar entirely.
i had to resync my contacts.
this is worse (much worse) than before the firmware fixes.

E-mail account not working since Z10 software update 10.2.0.424

I’m having a technical issue with my company e-mail account on my blackberry device. The phone had recently updated [5-days ago] its operating system to version 10.2.0.424
Ever since the software update, I have not been able to send or receive any e-mails on my work email account. But my gmail account is working normally on the phone.
I deleted the account completely from the phone and tried to reconfigure it, but the message is always the same: “The server for account XXX – [email protected] [mail.xxx.com, port: 143] can't be reached. The settings might be incorrect or the server could be temporarily offline. Check your settings and try again."
Our company's web-mail is provided by Bluehost and i have checked and rechecked that the configurations match the specs instructed by Bluehost. Moreover, these are the exact same settings I was using on the phone before the software update and it was working fine.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi,
I am having the very same issue, and also done everything you have said.

Me email account not working in iPhone 5s

Hi,
Currently having an issue with my me email account on my new iPhone 5s. I restored from an iPhone 5 backup a few months ago when setting up my new phone and I can't seem to get my emails or calendar working for my me account. It still works fine on my ipad though so I don't believe it is down to the account itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you :)

Define "not working".

Msn mail account not syncing with iPhone 4

My msn email won't sync with my iPhone 4. It used to, but ever since the apple upgrade I've lost the ability to use my email through my phone. I can no longer send emails, look at emails that are moved to specific folders, or move emails to any folder (no folders are showing up except junk or trash).. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the mail and have gone to a Verizon store for assistance only to be told after an hour of them looking at it, that they had no clue how to help me. My email is completely useless on my phone and that is unacceptable. How can this be fixed?

Are you still on iOS6 or have you upgraded to iOS7? Are these the steps you're following: http://bit.ly/1mND5pF

Yahoo! mail does not work on iphone 4

I have created a brand new password for my Yahoo! Mail, deleted the account on my iphone, reinstalled the Yahoo! Mail account on my iphone, and I'm still getting an error message saying it cannot complete my request. HELP!!

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.

ITunes account not working with iPhone

Wasn't even sure what to call the subject on this. When I first got my iPhone, iTunes worked fine, getting apps, and whatever purchases. Then I did a reset, and it stopped working. Also, my computers were stolen, and I had to get a new MBP, and hence reset my iTunes password. So on the iPhone, it lets me sign on, but then says my settings have changed, and I'm directed to another log in window. Then it says there's a problem with my payment settings, (paypal not supported), and to go to my computer to reset this. I'm so confused! I have a CC on file on the computer, not PayPal. How on earth do I get the phone to sync with my computer, and have them working the same?

Hi Neil,
Sorry to report... iOS7 & 10.5.8 will not work, but what Mac do you have?

Hotmail accounts not working on iPhone 6 - IOS 8.3?

I've realised over the last few days that I've not been getting emails on my iPhone, they do still come through on my Mac. I read a few threads that seem to put it down to the new IOS upgrade, but I can't remember when I upgraded to IOS 8.3 and when the emails stopped coming, but it does seem quite coincidental.
I thought I delete the accounts on my iphone but it won't let me, it just keeps hanging with the screen showing deleting, but it doesn't delete. I have to force a quit out of settings to get out of the screen.
I also tried sending an email from each account to see if it would work but it also hangs on sending at the bottom of the screen.
My iPhone 6 is only a few weeks old and I'm not sure what I'm meant to do now. Why can I not delete the email accounts? Why has my iPhone stopped sending and receiving them?
Any help very much appreciated!

HI, I would like to help you with this FaceTime issue. Can you expand on the problem please?
