Mail no longer can connect to any of my mail accounts

For the last two weeks or so I have had a weird issue with Mail. It tells me it's unable to connect to either of my email accounts (verizon and gmail) and takes both offline.
For a while restarting the MacBook seemed to fix this some of the time. I have gone through and rechecked all the passwords, etc. and I can get at my mail accounts through Safari using the verizon.net and gmail.com browser interfaces.
The verizon account is POP and gmail is IMAP, so it's apparently not related to the mail protocol.
This has gone from merely annoying to a serious problem.
Any ideas?

VPN=Virtual Private Network
Your Mail accounts are looking to their original connections to find the email servers that you setup. When the VPN is running it cuts off the connection to those original servers in favor of the servers in the VPN network.

  • TS4036 I have an Iphone 4S. I used to backup automatically to the cloud.  Since I did the software update I not longer can connect to any WIFI network!  I getthe message that it could not scan for wireless networks

    since I updated my software to the IOS 7.0.4
    I am unable to use any WIFI network
    i cannot connect to my home wifi network I am unable to do any backups.  I have backed up my phone onto my Itunes account on my computer and I reset my phone...this did nothing but lose some of my pictures.. PLEASE HELP!

    I read the article thanks.   I tried the settings-general-reset-reset network settings-reboot system-go to wifi settings-select wireless connection-select the ">"-symbol-select auto for http proxy.   I was optimistic about that because I thought I changed some setting somehow to cause this problem, but it didn't work.  More specifically, I did connect successfully and browsed the Internet for a good while, but then I put down the phone for a minute, the phone went into sleep/power save mode, and when I picked it back up a moment later it was no longer connected.  Dang.   Had to select the connection and use my password yet again. 
    Another valuable bit of info for you.   The only network with which I have this problem is my home.   I use all kinds of devices at home and no other devices have this problem.  Also, I use this iPhone all over with various wifi networks at hotels and starbucks and family's homes with no issues whatsoever.  It remembers and automatically reconnects with every wireless network except the one in my own house. 

  • Installed itunes 10.5, no longer can connect to itunes store now?

    installed itunes 10.5, no longer can connect to itunes store now?

    Are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar, or an antivirus/antispyware application? Some such utilities treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and can block the application from connecting. So you have to go in and reset the utility to allow iTunes.
    The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).   Check the settings for your utility. If iTunes is still listed, remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes. Consult your utility's documentation for the appropriate procedure. If you have Norton, you can find instructions for that utility on Symantec's web page for iTunes. You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
    Hope this helps.

  • "No internet access" error, but can connect to any webpage - Intel 6300

    I've been experiencing a somewhat annoying error; it seems very hard to troubleshoot just based on the terminology ("no internet access" is a very popular search).
    I have a W520 with the intel 6300 nic.
    The networking center says that I have "no internet access", and displays the dreaded yellow exclamation.  I have verified that the networking center is selecting the network I'm connected to (checked the SSID). 
    Strangely enough, I can connect to any website/download anything. It seems that after 15-20 minutes, the error will go away and it will finally acknowledge I have internet access. I have tripled verified all the settings, everything seems to check out fine (DNS, DG, IP, etc..). There are no conflicts on the network.
    It's not like the error inhibits anything, but it's annoying when you're trying to troubleshoot network errors. 
    Anyone run into this before?
    Thanks in advance for any help  

    hey nfs924,
    got some questions for you mate.
    connecting via wireless or wired ?
    If via wireless, is the wireless transmission from your device on encryption (wep/psk) or open?
    have you tried the unit at a different location ? Was the result the same ?
    While you gather the answers, head over to http://support.lenovo.com and crosscheck with the network card of your unit.
    old version on your unit = update it please
    same version = reinstall.

  • HT1904 Hi I just created apple store account and I didn't get verification mail and I can't buy any games withou it. What should ii do?

    Hi I just created apple store account and I didn't get verification mail and I can't buy any games withou it. What should ii do?

    If you already created an Apple ID, you have to enter a credit card in order to use that ID now. If you don't have a credit card at all, you will have to create a new Apple ID to use without a credit card and you will need to have another email address in order to do this.
    First you will have to sign out of your current ID in Settings> iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. You can tap the ID and tap Sign Out. Now you can proceed with creating a new Apple ID according to the instructions in here.
    Create iTunes Store account without credit card - Apple ...
    You are saying that you don't have a credit card, but if you had one, you could enter the credit card in order to use the ID that you already created, but you never have to use it. You can use gift cards or just download free content. But unless you create the ID as outlined above, you must enter payment details.

  • Since I installed Firefox version 5, I can´t se any of my mails in my webmail

    For a couple of days ago I upgraded to Firefox version 5 and after that I can´t see any of my mails in may webmail at Telia. I can log in, but I can´t se any mails or contacts. But if I use Explorer instead, it works properly.

       Yes, I checked for updates and was given a message that my Firefox was updated and my Lion, too.  I get no error messages with Firefox.  It just won't work.  If I click on a video link, nothing happens, yet if I switch to Safari, it works.  I went to the Firefox website and follow directions for that--turned off proxy--yet, it still doesn't work. 
         As for MS Office/Word, I get a message saying it is activated, yet it never opens.  When I try to open a document, it just keeps taking me back to the registration page where it says I don't need to register it.  It has been maddening.

    i can connect to internet and e mail via wi fi , however not out with these. I have just moved from i phone 3 to 4s is it the settings?

    Let me see if I understand correctly, you can access the Internet and email when on wifi, however when not on wifi, none of this works? Is this correct? If so, do you have a data plan with your carrier? Do you have cellular data turned on in Settings? When you look at your carrier in the upper left corner, do you see a signal, carrier name, and then 3G, 4G or LTE displayed? Have you contacted your carrier about this?

    hello
    The problem appeared two days ago is that I can't open my mail app. everything was fine and functional. Now I double click on the icon and it does not respond. it receives mail and I can see push notifications on the mail icon but when  I try to open it is no use. OS Y 10.10.2 (14C1514)

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Restart the computer. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. Any custom stationery that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to preserve that data. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
