MAIL NOT CONNECTING TO SERVER

Over the past few days I've noticed that Mail isn't connecting to my mail server.
Mail does connect when its first launched, but then won't connect when scheduled. If I quit from the software and re-launch, Mail connects and then the same thing happens again.
I've tried restarting and everything else I can think of, but this doesn't make any difference.
This can't be a server problem otherwise Mail wouldn't connect at all. Plus I've noticed that this happens from several different machines in several different locations.
I've noticed that a few other people have had the same problem but no-one seems to be able to come up with an answer.
Can anyone help?

Anyone still having this type of problem should look at Lee's solution here:

TS1843 Not receiving apple mail. Connection Doctor says not connected to server. Yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

Not receiving apple mail. Checked connection Doctor. Not connected to server, yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

No, I have a Mac and my email connects via our pacbell account we've had for years. However, something in the Preferences/Accounts is not correct I am guessing. Also, it asks for the password and if I put it in and click save through general or viewing, it's NOT saving it and still not allowing me to get email. My husband tried reading about this through our AT&T acct and said to change the incoming server to imap.mail.yahoo.com and outgoing smtp.mail.yahoo;[email protected], but now I can't receive or send any email on my Mac. In advanced not sure if it should be Port of 465 or 900 something or other and SSL checked or not. I called AT&T and they want to take over my machine by charging $15/mos for a year to fix this. Ridiculous.
So, everytime prior to yesterday, when my husband messed around with it, I was getting a POP needs password box, typed in my password, but to no avail..Then it Keychain password popped up and assumed it was the same, but there's no way to change or modify it even using the new password my husband set up through AT&T. I am at a complete loss.
I can access mail through yahoo mail and it takes me to AT&T Yahoo Mail, but no contacts are there so needless to say this is a pain.
I appreciate any assistance you can give me so I can get back on my email as I have for 4 years.
Thanks Hackintosh...I look forward to hearing from you....you can use the email above and it will come to me through my yahoo web page....Thanks again and let me know if you need any other information. If you respond on here, I may not get the answer from you as I didn't know you responded until I came on discussions. THanks

With that error noted, a search brought me to a solution:

Set the following registry key to ’1′:

IPhoto 11 willnot email my pics - claims I am not connected to server which I am

how do I get iPhoto11 to email phots - it claims I am not connected to server which I am

How do you know you are connected to your email server?
Just because you are connected to the Internet does not mean you can send mail.

Since upgrading to Maverick I cannot send/share photos through iPhoto. Dropbox says "not connected to server". All other online email activities work just fine.

Since upgrading to Maverick I cannot send photos while in iPhoto. Dropbox says I am not connected to server.
All other internet email activities work just fine.

And again why do you think Dropbox is involved in any way? There is no connection of any sort between iPhoto and Dropbox
THis sounds like you either need to (my personal suggestion) change your email client to Mail in the iPhoto preferenceemail if you want to use the iPhoto client under the accounts tab delete your account and re-enter it

Since you are awesome with the "Flash" can you investigate if this website has a issue withis this "Flash" too?
Please Linc Davis
