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.

Icloud mail cannot connect to server

I just purchased through verizon Iphone 4s and I kept getting the following message when trying to receive mail;
"cannont connect to server"
Everything looks like it is set up correctly.
I have wi-fi turned on and I turned it off and now it connects. Is this how icloud mail works? (with w-fi turned off)
Any information will be appreciated,
Thanks,

Same problem. I just tried switching wifi off and then the iCloud mail worked. Trouble is I have the same problem on my iPad and I need to use wifi for that. Can anyone help?

Same thing happening to me as well. Attempted to put my work email account on my phone like I've done at every other job I've had and get told it can't connect to the server. Job's IT dept verified setup is correct. No idea. Nothing but problems since IOS7. Can't sync to home Mac anymore either. Time for a new phone.

Hi ramonaak,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with Mail on your iPad.
iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3899
Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
Try a different Wi-Fi connection
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
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.
Cheers,
- Judy

Updated iPhone 4s to latest system yahoo mail cannot connect to server

Apple claim this is a yahoo problem. Contacted yahoo who needed to reset password, which could only be reset on a computer, done successfully.However, although yahoo email address can be obtained via yahoo website it still cannot be accessed directly via mail app on iphone. I was contemplating deleting mail app and reloading same but concerned this will remove notes, calender and reminder information. Any help/advice please

Wait for a minimum 24 hours and try re-configuring. It's a known issue and don't have any specific resolution.
Good Karma
Holydevil.

HT201320 Yahoo mail cannot connect to server

Hi AmishCake
Thanks for the response, but how do I go about turning off the two step verification?

I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server

I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server. It says check your user name and password are correct. Well they are, and were. Nothing has changed except the mac OS.
Has anyone else suffered this and knows a way around it? Too annoying to log into my mail every 15mins via a web page anymore.
Efforts tried to resolve this so far:
retyped user name and password, removed account and created a new account, restarted computer, software update, searched forums. so far all have proved unsuccessful.
I have also written to my mail provider and am waiting for feed back from them, but if anyone has any advice it would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Mike

Many users upgrading to Mountain Lion have run into this problem, myself included. You likely have corrupted settings for your "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" for each of the failed Accounts. Open Mail>go to Mail's Preferences>Accounts>select an Account in the left column to work on>then set up your Outgoing Mail Server which will INCLUDE resetting up your Password, as its asking you to. Click on "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" near the bottom of the Accounts window while your mail account is highlighted in the left hand column. When you click on SMTP... you will see a drop down box icon offered at the right side of the line. Click it and then select at the bottom of the the list "Edit SMTP Mail Server". Fill in the required settings for your ISP mail account using their recommended settings.

I cannot access my e mail on I phone as it cannot connect to server. I have done the usual and turned it off etc Help?

Turning off wouldn't help because settings would remain even after you restarted. So contact your email provider and them for the correct settings.
