My iPad doesn't receive email

My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails but I can still send them.

One thing to try is to go into the settings, delete then re-add your mail account info.
If that doesn't work, who is your mail provider? If it's yahoo, they've been having issues for quite some time. If it's Yahoo, read this and see if they help.

An iPad can receive iMessages only, not text messages as in SMS/MMS.

My ipad doesn't send emails because it says the server does not allow relaying. What is relaying?

My ipad doesn't send emails. Message says the server does not allow relaying. What does that mean and how do I fix it?

Copied from here.
http://appletoolbox.com/2012/01/server-does-not-allow-relaying-email-error-fix/
How to fix
If this is an AOL issue, try these: go Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select your AOL.com account > SMTP from the Account Info Page > SMTP from the SMPT Page > make sure that the Server is ON, make sure that the Host Name is smtp.aol.com. Further make sure your username and password are correct and added in the Outgoing Mail server; make sure that Authentication is set to Password and make sure that Server Port is 587
If this is not an AOL email: go Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts >Account Info > SMPT> turn off primary server, turn on other (e.g. AT&T) SMTP server.
Go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Account > Outgoing mail Server SMTP > Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name and Password under Outgoing Mail Server.

My Ipad has stopped receiving emails today. It has IOS7 on it. The settings are correct but says "connection to the server failed" help!

My Ipad has stopped receiving emails today. It has IOS7 on it. The settings are correct but says "connection to the server failed" help!
It is the same accout that has been working find for years and just after I updated the software this has happened. My Mac is still receiving and sending via Outlook with the same account and settings. My Iphone 5C has also stopped and I tried deleting the account and adding again (via exchange as it's an exchange accout) the same way I always do and it won't even recognise it to add the settings.
So annoying. Can anyone help?

Swipe up on the preview of the Yahoo Mail app to force quit it
Hold down on both the Home AND Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo on black screen (about 10 seconds).
When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of both buttons.
After it restarts, launch Yahoo Mail and see if it works.
Hope this helps!

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.

IPad doesn't mark email as 'read'

Hi,
So, I have 3 devices on which I can read my emails: A Macbook Pro, mid-2010 15", an iPhone 5s and a iPad 2.
When I receive emails on my macbook, there are some rules that filter out the spam emails. The rest I read and save to icloud folders or delete.
But, when having done this on my macbook and returning to my iPad, the iPad still sees every email as 'new'.
That and a break from using my ipad has now caused my ipad mail having around 500 emails... But all of those emails have been read and handled on my mac.
My iphone only has the icloud account configured, but that's working fine. (I have multiple email adresses, from gmail, hotmail and exchange)
How can I get my iPad to sync properly? Because handling all those emails twice is very annoying and time-consuming...

I'm having the same issue, only with my school email powered by Gmail. I had it working fine as a POP account but wanted to switch to IMAP after Gmail was updated. Now, every time a new message comes in, it stays marked as Unread, regardless of what I try to do. I've marked it as read on the server using Webmail, but still no luck. I then deleted the account and created it again. Now the message shows up as read. So, I sent a test email to see if the problem still persists, and it does. Seems any messages that were unread on the server as of creating the mailbox as well as any new messages subsequent are effected. This is becoming very annoying. On top of that, I can't even delete these messages. I get an error stating:
"The Account path /Users/xxxxxxxx/Library/Mail/[email protected]@imap.gmail.com is not writable. Please chage the Account Directory field in the Account Options tab to a writable directory."
I cannot find any such Options tab inside Apple Mail. Can anyone think or suggest a remedy for this?

Ipad won't receive email, but can send

My ipad has suddenly stopped receiving emails for my main account. I can send emails ok. Have checked the mail settings against my iPhone, which are the same. Ipad is 8.1.2, iPhone is 7.1. Tried rebooting, deleting and recreating email account. Any ideas ?
Thanks
Rob

I am having the exact same issue. No changes that I am aware of that would cause this. even if Fetch were set, as soon as you swipe down on mail, it should load. But it looks for mail and then shows nothing new. At the bottom it states the last time mail was received (for me it was only a few hours ago). Just like Mintok above, I have reset iPad, deleted and re added email acct. I have 2 email accounts, both with Yahoo. My other account works just fine. My email also works just fine on my iPhone and computer. It also works when I go through the internet to access the yahoo mail. Just my iPad and just the one account and only with receiving emails). I did change password just in case. but it says it connects, it just won't download to that very specific email account.

IPad 2 not receiving emails

I have recently purchased an iPad 2. I already own a mac computer and owned an original iPad. With my originally iPad i recieved all emails i received on my computer, but with my new iPad 2 I only get some emails. They will go to my computer but not my iPad. I have tried resetting up my mail account on my ipad, and i have a good wifi connection. Does anyone have any ideas as to why i am only getting certain emails or how to correct this?

Thanks. Go to Settings, Mail.... click on your account, Advanced, and set Delete from Server to Never. This may not be the problem but just in case!

I have 4 email accts, all but one work fine, the main one doesn't receive emails that are sent to me at all? Any idea what went wrong?

After the download, I began entering my email accounts manually. The first one "[email protected]" doesn't appear to be working properly. Emails that my friends have sent to me are not being received, test emails I have sent from my office are not geting to me either.
I have looked at the setups for the other 3 accounts and all are the same as the first, so why is this happening?? Hopefully, when you send me an answer, I will get it???
Thanks,
Ron

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

New ipad doesn't recongize email password

just bought my long wished for ipad mini today. Everything has worked fine so far, but I can't get it to accept the gmail password for email and calendar...

Are you talking about the auto brightness feature? Sometimes the change in screen brightness is not very dramatic and it can be hard to notice. Unless you go from one extreme to the other - a totally dark room into a very well lit room - it might not be that noticeable. But if you tried this and it doesn't - the device is under warranty, so contact Apple. Make a genius bar appointment and let them look at it.

IPad continually only receives emails WITH attachments

I have been experiencing something really bizarre lately with my iPad (3rd generation). Every now and then, the email seems to get 'stuck' and will ONLY fetch emails from the server that have attachments. It's really quite strange. If I check the email via the provider's (Comcast's) website, I can see many new emails that have arrived, but unless they have an attachment, they will not get pulled down from the server to my iPad.
Things I have done:
- Completely removed my email accounts and started over
- Verified the settings on the other clients I use to ensure that it is not set to delete messages on the server.
I have read previous solutions that suggested the problem may be related to some kind of 'corrupt' email on the server which is preventing other messages from being retrieved. The recommended solution there was to take all of the emails that were currently on the server and 'quarantine' them by putting them in a different folder. That seemed to work for a while, but it keeps recurring.
I don't actually think this is a problem with the iPad, as it is reproducable on my Kindle Fire, my Android tablet, and my iPod Touch, so I feel pretty sure the problem lies on the mail server. But it is only ONE account. I have approximately 7 Comcast email accounts and it is only that one particular account that is experiencing the issue. So, yeah, you may be asking yourself why am I posting this here if I'm pretty sure it's not the iPad that's the problem... well, you guys are pretty smart, and perhaps someone has run into this kind of issue before with their provider. I know that calling Comcast is absolutely useless, and they'll just tell me to use their app, but that's really frustrating and inconvenient.
Any suggestions?

Found what I was doing wrong.
First, finditems retrieves items and not just emails, so I had to switch the schema to ItemSchema. This one has a HasAttachments property on it, that when set to true will cause the filter to find only items that have one or more attachments.
Setting it to false finds items that have no attachments.
SearchFilter.IsEqualTo sfEmailsWithAttachments = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(ItemSchema.HasAttachments, true);
Also, found that finditem is designed to only return summary information that can then be used to decide whether to retrive the full item in a getitem command. This was done by Microsoft to expidite searches on Exchange. So, even though finditem
will find only emails with attachements, the returned items may not neccesarily have things like counts for the attachments. You would have to retrieve the whole email with getItem using the retrieved item's ID to do manipulations on any lower level
fields.

Microsoft Exchange link won't sync, doesn't receive email since updating 5s to iOS 8.0. Is there a solution to this?

iPhone 5s stopped receiving Exchange email a couple of days after updating to iOS 8.0. Initially there were no problems. Microsoft Exchange account now connects but won't sync.Other email accounts, Safari and Apps work with no problems. Have tried removing and re-entering the Exchange account, and done a Network Reset. Still get 'No Mail' on Exchange email screen. Is this a common occurrence and does anyone have a solution?

We had about 10 iPhones (4S, 5, 5S) which did not receive any mail or other things over Exchange. After some research, we did an iisreset on our Exchange OWA. This was our solution. Everything is working fine now.
