Mail refuses to connect to GMail and POP3 after adding exchange account.

I set up an Exchange Active Sync account in Mavericks Mail successfully.
Sadly, none of my other POP3 or IMAP accounts (including their respective SMTP accounts) now work.
Anyone see this before?

Thunderbird email client times out making IMAP and POP3 connections to gmail and hotmail.

After autoconfiguring several gmail accounts with Thunderbird, and then using them, they stopped working after I switched to Verizon High Speed DSL. All of the accounts time out while trying to get email.   Non list an error. While trying to auto configure a hotmail account, it failed during password loggin.
Disabled Windows Firewall
Disabled Norton Firewall
Disabled modem-router firewall
checked IMAP settings in Thunderbird.
deleted and then reautoconfigured the accounts to reset the passwords.
enabled IMAP manually in gmail and POP3
checked SMTP ports and IMAP default port numbers
checked for normal password
checked for SSL/TSL text
Checked with Verizon support who said that they don't help Thunderbird clients.
Tried logging in manually to all of the accounts to make sure the passwords and usernames were correct ...works.
help! "connection to server timed out"

Not exactly the same, but I am pretty sure the fix will be the same.
give it a whirl and let us know.
Solution for sending MS Outlook and SMTP e-mail through Verizon FIOS for GoDaddy e-mail
The FIX...I had to log onto the xxxxxxxx(at)verizon.net e-mail account via the WEBMAIL version for Verizon.
I then went to Options-->More Options on the top, right menu.
Go to the Accounts menu on the left.
Click Add Account button toward the top.
I only entered information for Sending Mail.
     Account name (any name you like...I called it GoDaddy)
     From Name = my display name
     e-mail address = my GoDaddy e-mail address
     I then moved my cursor to the username field in the Receiving Mail just so my cursor wasn't in the e-mail address field anymore.
Verizon couldn't even help me with this. This should be a standard check for them whenever they receive a call for SMTP issues. I think they are trying to get everyone to use their (at)verizon.net e-mail account as their primary account. This will help them retain or gain future business. I think it's bad for business overall.
==========
Note the "Test Account Settings..." button failed on the test send of a message, but all other tests passed fine. My messages are sent fine even with this part of the tests failing.
The above is true for a lot of third party email providers (not programs but email providers)

Push mail is not working for gmail and hotmail on ...

i have been using my nokia e72 since february 2011. i had two mailbox configured, gmail and hotmail. Until last week, everything was fine. but suddenly my push mail stopped working for both gmail and hotmail.
when i noticed this, i removed both of my mailboxes and tried to create a new one. when trying to create a Gmail mailbox, it goes fine upto "downloading terms". after that, when i choose to connect to "nokia messaging service", it creates a mailbox named "HOTMAIL" instead of "GMAIL". it takes only my user name for Gmail and rest of the settings are for HOTMAIL.
if i choose not to connect to "nokia messaging service" then it works quite well. but thats not real push mail. it will check my email every 5 mins. but when tried to create a "HOTMAIL" mailbox, i had no luck. no matter how i try, hotmail mailbox can't download my mail. and as hotmail don't support IMAP, its very disgusting to use "POP3" if i choose not to connect to nokia messaging.
i have tried to reset the phone using *#7370# and *#7730#, but no luck. i also tried reinstalling the firmware using ovi suite, but i didn't had any luck either.
please help me, i am very disappointed with this kind of problem specially from nokia.
someone please do help. i m in a huge mess.

delete the account and re-add it.

Mail suddenly won't connect to gMail IMAP servers after network crash

After the network in our building went down yesterday, Apple Mail refuses to connect to Google's IMAP servers. I am guessing this is some sort of weird config problem. Is there a way to hit the reset button without dumping my prefs and loosing my current mail setup?

Same with me here...
Hey, come on, i can't connect so any more of my Gmail accounts using mail 3.6 (+ the 10.5.7 update too), my University mail account works (configured having a mail.any_university.com server).
Hey apple guys, this can't be...!???!
Maybe you should concentrate a little more on things your computer users need than on making a new iphone that is smaller than a walnut.
I wanna be able to check my mails again !

IPhone Mail App cannot connect with gmail iMap server

So my gmail address list or contacts seems to have been hacked and all my contacts who are still talking to me have told me so.
So I changed my gmail password.
No more complaints, and probably no more friends as contacts.
But seriously, I have been able to get gmail (web) working with my new double authentication password(s). Also, my outlook for MAC is working using the special "generated App Password". (because Outlook cannot do the double authentication thingie)
Ditto for the gmail app from google on my iPhone. (it works too)
BUT
I cannot get the iPhone Mail App to connect to Gmail.
I have deleted (i thought) my existing gmail setup from my iPhone. When I try to re establish the gmail settings, using either the password generated by the MAC / iCloud keychain generator or the App password, I get the message "My Name" is already added.
It looks to me that there is something in the iPhone that matches my gmail address, even though I deleted the account.
Any suggestions before I call Apple for help?
Thanks
Barry

I think so.
Actually I think I need to get the App Password for Mail on my phone. It generates the app password and I enter it into the password in the gmail setup for mail.
The problem is that when I hit next on that page, I get the message:
"my name" is already added" and I cannot proceed.
Before doing this setup I deleted my gmail account by tapping the email address and hitting delete in the Mail, Contact and Calendars setup..
but, there is something hiding in my iPhone that remembers my old gmail password (I guess) and doesn't let me proceed.
If I enter my gmail iChain password I get the same thing.
If i do this in airplane mode (no connection to google) i also get the same.
I talked to an apple care person who had me reset all my settings... still the same thing.
I am trying to avoid a gull reset of the iPhone, but that may be in the cards.
Going to go to the apple store and ask there, but i am not hopeful.

Unable to connect to gmail and other google services

when i'm connecting to gmail and other google services like google calender it is saying that ,
The page isn't redirecting properly.Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies. Any help on this would be appreciated

Thanks a lot for the link.It worked.

Mail refusing to connect

Since yesterday my Mail refused to connect to my Exchange 2007 account.
It all worked fine until then.
I also have Outlook on Mac, and it refuses to connect.
I didn't change any settings since then and the firewall is off.
On the same machine I also have Windows in Bootcamp, and Outlook in Windows.
That one connects.
Does anyone have a clue about what's happening here?

Can anybody help? The account seems fine.
I can add it through IMAP, but there's something about Exchange 2007 that is not working.
Any tips about troubleshooting would be appreciated.

TS2621 i canot send or receive mail on my iPhone on gmail and roadrunner accounts what should i do??

i canot send or receive mail on my iPhone on gmail and roadrunner accounts what should i do??

The only thing I can think of is that Verizon asked you to change your settings to the new servers without actually having set up your account there first.
I would go back to them for resolution. It's def not a phone issue. Like I said, those settings work for me, but I've only been a VZ customer for about 6 months. If you are a legacy client of theirs you might have been on an older email system that they are trying to retire.

Mail app not connecting to gmail account

Hi
So I have 2 gmail accounts where our company domain uses gmail for its email service. Mail was working fine on both the accounts till last week.
I had configured both the gmail accounts very easily by just selecting Google on the Mail App on my Macbook Air 7 months back. I just added my email id and my password and the Mail App automatically configured both my accounts.
Last week one of the gmail accounts stopped updating on the Mail app on the Macbook. I was recieving mails on my iPad and iPhone so I knew there was something wrong. The second gmail account was working just fine. I tried various things but that account refused to work. So I deleted that account and tried adding that account back. I could not add that gmail account this time round and kept giving me an invalid username password error or some account not valid error. I go to the online version of Gmail and login with exactly the same information.
Then to probe more I delete the working gmail account and try to add it again. That account also does not seem to be adding now. Same error as the first account. So now I cannot access both my gmail accounts on the mail client.
I just realized that I updated to OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 on 28th Feb and am pretty sure that all this has happened immediately after that.
Anybody else with similar issues? Any ideas on what I should be doing?
Cheers
Ankur

Apple mail will not connect to gmail (POP)

Hello,
For a week or so, Mail just will not connect to Gmail. Macbook Pro, Lepoard 5.8.
I tried deleting all accounts and creating them again but I get a message saying that the server is not answering.
This happened suddenly and Mail had been working fine for years... No changes in the Mac, no new software...No known general problem with Gmail. Gmail parameters set to POP as I'm using this instead of IMAP...
So right now All accounts have been deleted and I cannot re-connect....
Latest: even my Yahoo accounts do not work any more now.
Perhaps I should remove Mail and re-install it again ?
If so, how the h..k do I go about it as I'm no computer expert !
Please try not to be too technical as I'm french and do not really master PC language that well ...
Thanks and regards.

Apple mail won't connect to Gmail server!

I am not sure exactly what has happened. I have a year old MPB that is the glitchiest apple product I've had. Mail slowly stopped connecting to the Gmail server and says my passwords are incorrect. I have checked, rechecked, and even changed my passwords to ensure that the PW is not incorrect. I have three gmail accounts and some of them worked up until today. I cannot tell if this is a mac software issue or a gmail server issue. I've been having some odd issues with my MBP so I would count that out as the culprit. I double checked the files in Library/Preferences against an older backed up version and they seem to be intact.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Mine stopped wotking on the 9th, under the mail app on the left hand side, if you have triangles with ! marks in them, perform a left click and start "Mail Connection Doctor" This may help pinpoing the issue.
Mine is failing at trying to connect on port 143.
This worked for me, go the accounts settings window and in each gmail account enter the following info
Advanced Tab
IMAP Path Prefix enter [Gmail]
If you then tick "Use SSL" this should make the port 993
Authentication shold be set to "password"
Then save these settings, finally email is received, hope this helps.
Let is know how you get on.

Apple Mail won't connect to Gmail

My Apple Mail 4.5 has been working fine up until a couple of weeks ago. I don't know what happened, but now it won't connect to Gmail. It says something like port 993 time out? I've been searching online to find solutions, but none of them seems to work. I can still log in thru webmail and I've already checked to see if my POP and IMAP are enabled in Gmail settings. Please help Apple Geniuses. Thanks.

Maverick Mail upgrade not connecting to gmail?

Hi all,
I just upgraded to Maverick and Mail stopped being able to access my gmail account.
The first set of errors suggested that the port wasn't correct, so changed port and SSL permissions- all to no avail.
Deleted account and then tried to set up again- now I just get a message saying "An unexpected error occured"!!
Any advice would be great!
Thanks,
Amy

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your help.
This is the message from the Connection Doctor:
"Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the "Use SSL" checkbox in the Advanced tab of account preferences"
I have tried to change the SSL usage and also the port that was being used, but now the account does not appear in Accounts at all! So I have no way of changing any of the properties through Accounts.
I should also note that the connection to "contacts" and "calendars" appears to be fine. It's only Mail and Notes that it's having an issue with.
Thanks again,
Amy

Configuring Apple Mail client to work with gmail and mail relays

I have a gmail account [email protected] and am successfully using this account from both my macbookpro an iphone.
I also have an e-mail relay account [email protected] I have successfully configured the email relay to send mail to [email protected] and get it fine on my mail client. My problem is that when I reply to these emails or create fresh e-mails, I'd like it to use the address [email protected] not [email protected] When I used to use Eudora, there was a setting in the account configuration screen called "reply to" this would change the reply to email account to whatever I wanted, in this case, [email protected] I have scoured the mail documentation and realize that I am missing something simple. I would appreciate any assistance with configuration settings necessary to have my relay alias show-up on my mail headings.
thanks
Art

The first thing to do is to log into the Gmail web site and configure your account so that it allows you to send mail from [email protected]
Then configure your account in Mail so that the Email Address is [email protected] That should do it. This is better than setting a reply-to because the mail will really be from [email protected] and not [email protected]
If you want, you can put both [email protected] and [email protected] in the Email Address (separated with a comma) in which case Mail will show a popup menu labeled From below the Subject. You can then select which address the message should be from.
