Mail app telling me "cannot get mail"?

Hi my mail app keeps telling me it can't get the mail every time I open it but it is still receiving all mail as normal, anybody know what is wrong and can I fix this minor issue myself? Thanks! :)

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

  • How do I delete apps when I cannot get the red x, I cannot update the iPad because of lack of memory space. I heard it was a bug in the last version of the op.system, any ideas?

    I cannot update the iOS because of lack of memory (3.5 GB required). The apps cannot be deleted because I cannot get them red x in memory management or when they shake for reorganization. I heard this was a bug in the last update of the op. system. So what is the process?

    From where did you hear this..?

    DELETING APPS
    Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
    You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
    If there is No 'X' on any apps you have Downloaded... then check in Restrictions...

  • Cannot purchase apps in app store. Cannot get help with Customer Support

    I receive this message each time I try to purchase an app or book. "Your purchase could not be completed. For assistance, contact iTunes Support at www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/. I've called Apple Support a total of 6 times and I've been on hold for a total of over 3 hours. They said they fixed it THREE times, and told me to wait 30 minutes then try again. I've talked to 2 different Senior iTunes Advisors who gave me their direct line (which means absolutely NOTHING, because when I call back they won't answer or return messages). Supposedly my issue was going to be fixed by the iTunes "engineers" last night and an email was supposed to be sent me this morning. Of course, neither happened. I'm totally disgusted with iTunes Support and need my issue resolved and have no where to turn. I'm a very patient person, but I'm at the end of my rope. Any suggestions on who to complain to, since I'm getting nowhere?

    IM having the same exact issue!! I've demanded to speak with an engineer personally or someone who knows iTunes inside and out. sr advisor made it seem like it was classified information! She kept saying "they" will fix it and you'll receive email for confirmation. I want to know who they are!! I have a $25 gift card just sitting in my account for nothing. My bank card is good too. Sorry I have no answer, just know there's people who are just as frustrated as you lol. Please reply back if you hear anything thing at all!! I'll do same! Good luck!

    Hello hjones1817,
    It sounds like you are repeatedly getting a prompt saying that your Apple ID  has been disabled due to security reasons. I recommend reaching out to our iTunes Account Security team for futher assistance, and keep in mind you will need to verify your account information with them:

  • Syncing removed apps and settings cannot get some apps, settings and scores back

    When syncing with iTunes 10.1.1 it removed apps after backup and sync, I lost settings , apps and scores
    Tried restore did not work. Using W7

    No significant changes to PC, upgrades to newer version of iTunes and patches to OS. No warning about apps being removed, most apps are re- installed by dragging from iTunes back to phone but lost strings and scores also one app from big fish games seems to think I have not purchased full version
    Thanks

  • Why does my mail keep saying "Cannot get mail"

    Synced my Yahoo account with my phone and recieved mail for a few months. About three weeks ago I recieved a message when I open my Mail app that says "Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed." I also received an email that said "Recently, we have detected some unusual activity on your account and as a result, we've temporarily locked it for your protection. You may unlock your account immediately by logging in on a PC. If you have additional questions, please visit us at ___ to get the help you need. Sincerely, Your yahoo customer experience team."
    I logged in to my account on my laptop and everything seemed to fix itself and everything was fine when I get on my computer but I am still not able to get new mail through my phone. It still keeps giving me the "Cannot Get Mail" message on my phone.
    Any thoughts?

    Hello Perry0130,
    It sounds like you are getting a message that your password is incorrect after you changed the password for your email account. I would try these 3 troubleshooting steps from the following article to help troubleshoot the AOL account connection:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Upgraded to Mavericks yesterday. Cannot get iCloud or Mail, Contacts, etc. Pref Panes to open.

    Very odd behavior by several of the Pref Panes in the System Preferences app. I cannot get the iCloud pref pane to launch. There is no spinning beach ball and the Force Quit Applications box doesn't show that System Preferences is not responding. Same goes for the Mail, Contacts & Calendars pref pane. This is really not cool at all (along with Safari not working any more).
    Lucky for me, I upgraded to Mavericks on a clone of my primary hard drive, so all I've lost is the time it took to clone the primary drive and perform the Mavericks upgrade. I thought about holding off upgrading until the first major Mavericks update came out. I've not run into any major problems with any of my OS X installs or upgrades until Mavericks.
    Oh, yeah, Finder is syrupy-slow under Mavericks as well. All the supposed memory use improvements in Mavericks have not resulted in a snappier system performance on my early-2011 MBP.

    Problem solved: it took a long time for Mavericks to sync data to the newly upgraded drive from iCloud, apparently. I rebooted and let the laptop simmer overnight. When I got up the next morning, all the problems I mentioned were gone.
    I have since done a Mavericks upgrade on another of my hard drives and let the system "settle" for a few hours after the upgrade. This seems to be the answer: if things that depend on iCloud aren't accessible right away, wait at least 30 minutes and then see how your system's behaving.
    Hope this will help anyone with the same issue.

  • Mail.app pops up saying "Cannot get mail" but the emails are downloaded normally....

    mail.app pops up saying "Cannot get mail: The user name or password for "iCloud" is incorrect", that is not true because i can log in on iCloud.com with the same credentials setted in mail.app. But the strange thing is that i can get the email! Let me explain: mail.app download the emails normally but when it check for incoming mail and there are no one, the alert pops up.
    This is not a critical issues, i can get the emails anyway, but that alert is really annoying.
    I've alredy changed the password of my appleID to a new one, but nothing changed.
    Has anyone had the same problem and managed to solve it?

    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.

  • Google Apps (paid) cannot get mail

    I pay for Google Apps for Business, which includes sync. It has worked great on my 4S and iPad. My Google Apps dashboard has enabled all mobile devices. Today I got a 5S and when I set it up (correctly) I keep getting the dreaded "Cannot get mail. Connection to the server failed." message. I am losing my mind, have tried everything but it wont work and I am forced to set it up as a regular free gmail account (no sync, no push email) instead of an Exchange account. To repeat, I pay for Google Apps for Business. Please folks I am desperate!
