Delete the account and restart you phone the remake then email account.
Go to your iPhone home screen and tap Settings.

Scroll down and tap Other.
Tap Add Mail Account.
Put the name you want people to see when they get mail from you in the Name field.
Enter your username in the Address field. For example, [email protected]

Not receiving email on Iphone 4S

my phone just started not sending or receiving email. It says my mail server is not responding. I've verified name and address on my phone. All is well.

I finally figured it out. I had to go to my email's host page and make sure that the emails were not being saved on the server. When I unchecked that box, it worked fine.

Yahoo email is notoriously bad, seems everyday someone is having an issue with Yahoo.
Since you done most of the troubleshooting, you can see if you can contact Yahoo and ask them what the issue is.
Or try the yahoo email app.

Sending but not receiving email on iPhone 4 iCloud account

Any ideas why this would occur?

Ok, I've figured out what's happened but I don't know how to correct it. This is what I did: when I joined icloud I named the email account eg [email protected] when I should have used [email protected] could someone please explain how to change it. I have tried to open a new account on icloud called [email protected] but it tells me I have already done that but the emails to that address are not coming to my phone only if I look on my PC. Any suggestions very gratefully received

Mail (Yosemite): If you can’t receive messages

My Mac is not receiving emails, but my iPhone receives emails. How can I fix this?

I have a MacBook Pro Retina with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. I recently tried to send a large file through the iCloud email drop. The email stayed in my outbox for a day and made my email app extremely slow. The email never sent, so I deleted the email from my outbox and restarted the program. Now, my email is no longer receiving any emails. The same email account on my iPhone receives emails, but my Mac email program will not receive emails. I've restarted the program and the Mac, but nothing has resolved the problem. Any suggestions???

Mail (Yosemite): If you can’t receive messages

Not receiving emails on iMac, iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and macBook Air.

When we purchased our MacBook Air a couple of months ago, we could not receive emails. We have spoken with Comcast and they made sure our settings were okay on their end. In my screwing around on my iMac password, we now are not also receiving home emails. We are set up in iCloud.

Hey there Wolfeden6,
If you are still unable to get your email on your iPhone, and your iOS devices, I would first recommend using this article to help with your Mac Mail program. It walks you through using the Connection Doctor to help diagnose the connection issue.
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
And for your iOS devices, this is the article I would recommend:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
To make sure that you're connected to the Internet, open Safari and go to www.apple.com.
Log in to your email provider's website to make sure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Make sure your settings are correct using Mail Settings Lookup.
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

TS3899 Since I updated my iphone, I am not receiving email on my .mac account. What's wrong?

Since I updated my iphone to I0S6, I am not receiving email on my .mac account. What's wrong?

Tim, I was speaking generally. Obviously the iOS upgrade didn't remove the ability to charge on ALL 3rd party devices, else my iH9 wouldn't charge it either.
What I just can't understand is how an old iHome model works just fine with a new iPhone, yet a new iHome model will not. If anything, I would think it would be the other way around.
Anyway, I emailed iHome explaining my situation and I asked if they had planned on releasing a firmware update to fix the problem. I got the typical generic response about unplugging the iHome & removing the batteries for an hour then trying again. And if that doesn't work, send it in for repair in which I would need to pay for the shipping.
If I decide to go that route, I think it's just going to be a waste of time as I would get the iHome back "repaired" and it would have the exact same problem. But I guess I'll never know until I try.
I remember reading on these forums about several others having the same problem. So what are the odds that the iHomes these other people got who are experiencing the same problem are problematic as well? Unless the "repair" iHome is referring to is a firmware update, I don't really buy into this.

After accepting the carrier update yesterday my iPhone 5s will not receive emails via my work Exchange system.

After accepting the carrier update yesterday my iPhone 5s will not receive emails via my work Exchange system. I can send emails, but can not receive. I deleted my account and added it back with the directed provided by our Corporate IT, but I still can't receive emails. I've hard booted and soft booted my phone several times to no avail. What else can I do to help remedy this situation?

I don't have any other email accounts on my phone and I don't get any type of error message. It just says "Checking for Mail" and I receive nothing, so I know that it is accessing my work email system. I haven't made any changes to my account. I only accepted the message to update my carrier system.....I do have an appointment with the local Verizon store to see if they can help.
Just FYI, my Exchange email account still works on my iPad, so I'm pretty sure the settings are correct.

Iphone will not receive emails

I recently changed my password on both my yahoo account and itunes account. i have an ipad and an iphone. My ipad is receiving emails under my old password, and my iphone will not receive emails under the new or old password. when I try to enter password for email under setting on iphone, it gives me the message that the yahoo server is unavailable. again, my ipad has no problems receiving emails nor does my wife on her iphone.
