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.

Maybe one of these sites may help you to gain access again:

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.

2. Delete and reinstall the account
3. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
4. Restore as a new iPhone

Virtual Host Mail Accounts Not Working

Hi. I have attempted to search the discussions for an answer to this, but haven't had much luck.
I have one server running 10.5.8. This server hosts 4 domains, 1 main and 3 virtual. Each domain needs an [email protected] email address. I have created a user in WGM named info and have created the short names for each domain: info (I assume the local domain short name doesn't need the domain.com added), [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] I have entered the 3 virtual hosts in Server Admin-->Mail-->Settings-->Advanced-->Hosting-->Enable Virtual Hosting section.
The issue is that when I configure Mail for each of the accounts, they are being treated as though they are aliases and not virtual host accounts. In other words, each account sees the exact same mail. When I check Server Admin-->Mail-->Maintenance-->Accounts I do NOT see the three additional virtual host accounts, so clearly they are not being created.
This same server is also the mail server, so each domain's DNS MX record is pointing to this server. Like I said, I can send and receive mail, but it goes to all the accounts simultaneously (as aliases would) rather than individually.
I've scoured the documentation, but cannot seem to find what I have missed here to prevent this from working as it should.
Does anyone have experience with a successful deployment of a situation similar to this one?

I do, indeed, have the addresses set up for one user, as you have ascertained. I suppose that I will alter the setup in the manner in which you describe. What is completely perplexing to me is that if you review Apple's documentation just after the section after describing Mail Forwarding (~pg. 37) you will see that Apple is saying I can set it up the way I have. Directly from the text as follows:
Virtual hosting is a method you can use to host more than one domain name on the
same computer and IP address, with overlapping mail user names.
For instance, a mail server can receive mail transfer requests for two domains,
mail.example1.com and mail.example.com, both of which resolve to the same IP
address. For mail.example1.com, the server would deliver mail to “[email protected]”
to a user mailbox for “bob,” while it would also deliver mail to “[email protected]” to
a different user mailbox. Virtual hosts are essentially the converse of local host aliases.
Again, I state that if this is to be true, then I should have the ability to assign one Open Directory account and give that account the four addresses as above with each having a separate user mailbox. The way it is behaving now is like aliases, not virtual hosts as Apple describes.
I'd love to understand why this is the case, perhaps I'm completely misunderstanding the text.
Thanks again for the help, I'll just create 4 accounts, easy enough.

MAIL ACCOUNT NOT WORKING SOMEONE HELP?!

I have two email accounts in Mail but my outlook account always comes up with "mail can't connect to the account" I don't know what's happening? I try to activate it online but it still doesn't work? I've also re entered the password... what do i do!?

Make sure the settings your email provider needs are correctly set up in Mail. The server names, ports, etc., have to be set up correctly. Usually the info will be online. If you look in their support area, you may even find specific instructions for setting up Mac Mail.
Are you saying you're using Outlook as well as Mail? The "outlook account" comment is a little confusing.

Hotmail & Yahoo Mail accounts not working on OS X 10.9.5

All mail accounts not working

My wifes iPhone has stopped receiving email on all 3 of her email accounts. 2 of them are POP and one of them is gmail. It happened while we were vacationing in the US on wifi and some roaming on AT&T. We came home last night and it still isn't working. She restored the iPhone through iTunes last night and it didn't work.
What should she do next?

OK so I deleted and "reinstalled" both POP accounts and now everything seems to be working. I believe this has happened before, anyone know why?

There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that. You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.
mannyace wrote:

Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
Unlikely. But nothing is impossible. Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

Mail is not working. The app opens because I see a light on under "Mail" in the dock.

Mail is not working. The app opens because I see a light on under "Mail" in the dock, and I see the menu at the top of my screen, but I don't see the app itself or any windows. It is like it is running in the background, but I can't see it. Everthing is subdued when I click on the choices up in the menu. I have tried "Force Quit" and then re-opening the mail app several times, and have rebooted my notebook twice. What is weird is that this started right after I changed my password in a browser (it is a gmail account). I went into the System Preferences on my MacBook and changed my password there as well, so it should be setup properly to open. I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5. Any help anyone can provide is much appreciated.

My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices, It attempts to download new email but then stops. Any ideas?

My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices, It attempts to download new email but then stops. Any ideas?

I, too, am having a problem with my Yahoo email account on my first generation IPad. I can't download my emails to my IPad from the server. The IPad looks like it's trying to download them but can't do it. I am able to send emails from my IPad with my Yahoo account.
This problem started yesterday, Aug., 25th, the day after I uploaded the last update from Apple. I am able to set up another email account through Sbcglobal that will download my emails to my IPad but it is not sync'ed with my desktop mail which creates a mess when I move or delete emails.
I've tried deleting my Yahoo account and then adding it back. Also I've reset my IPad and I've done a full restore.
I think it has something to do with the last update, which I believe was a security update, which may have reset the firewall. That's just a guess.
Has anyone figures out anything else?

Upgraded to OS X 10.5.6 - Now Mail is not working.

I recently upgraded to OS X 10.5.6. Everythingwent just fine, but Mail is not working. None of my old messages show up, nor am I able to send or receive mail. My old folders are displayed, but no messages are in there either.
I use a POP account. I verified the settings with the service provider website and all of it is by the book. These same settings were used with the old version of Mail with no problems, but its just nor working anymore!
Help!!!

sorry, I can not explain that. usually this would indicate that something is wrong with your account settings. you may want to try the following. copy your rogers inbox and sent mail to local mailboxes in "on my mac" section (make new mailboxes there). then delete rogers account and set it up from scratch. see if it works.

Outgoing mail is not working on the Macbook Pro

Hey
I am using the mail client to read my gmail mails in my Macbook Pro. Incoming and outgoing emails were working fine and all of a sudden for the last 2 days my outgoing mails are not working and i get this error" the sender address blah blah.com was rejected by the server".
I reentered my cred in the pref pane and it still does not work. I am able to send mails fine using the browser. Incoming mails is fine is fine on the client.
Any idea what is causing this error?
Thanks

I'm not sure why this worked fine for a period of time but most, if not all ISPs use for connecting to the internet block the use of SMTP servers outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
Something to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't work, you need to add your ISP's SMTP server to mail and select this SMTP server to send mail with your gmail account which is invisible to all recipients.
