Not receiving imap email after ios6 upgrade

I have an iPhone 4S which I upgraded to iOS6 2 days ago. Prior to the upgrade, I had 2 imap email accounts and one pop account set up on my phone that were all working fine. Immediately after the upgrade one of the imap accounts stopped receiving emails (I have tested sending from that account, and it works fine.) When I attempt to retrieve new emails, after the phone tries to download messages, I get the following error message:
Cannot Get Mail. The mail server "mail.[my mail server].com" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings.
I have checked my settings and they appear to be unchanged (a parallel line of inquiry is to see if my server is actually having problems.) I even changed one, to see if that would make any difference either with the new setting, which I doubted, or once I returned it to the original setting. I have also turned the phone off completely and turned it back on.
Any suggestions?

Thanks Andrew. I was afraid to try this, but I just did and it worked like a charm.

Mail won't receive IMAP emails since ML upgrade

I upgraded to Mountain Lion this morning and havne't been able to receive any emails from my IMAP account since. I can send emails fine. I can receive all emails on my iPhone, just not my MBP.
I'm hesitant to remove the account and reinstall it because I'm worried I'll lose the emails I

Now that you have accessed as POP, you might lose messages if you again removed the account, depending upon whether the POP setting was to remove after downloading? So careful, now.
What Port was used when set up as IMAP -- was it IMAP type as shown in the Preferences?

Cannot receive Charter email after OS6 upgrade

Anyone have a similar problem? I can send but not receive email since I updated the OS. My wife's iPad email works fine (I wanted to successfully update my iPad before updating hers). My email also works fine on my laptop via web interface. I have checked and compared each setting between my wife's iPad email account and my iPad email account and have not found anything that did or could have changed with the OS update. My Gmail email account works fine on my iPad. Any suggestions?

Thank you all for reading and at least considering my problem. FYI, I decided to try deleting my email account on my iPad and reconfiguring. It worked perfectly - all of the email messages restored - along with the ability to receive email messages. No better explanation, but the problem is solved.

Have tried to reset password but have not received reset email after 2 days. Please help!

Hi there fellow Apple-ites.
Hoping you can help with this.
After using my current Apple ID (new email address) for about a year for app store and iTunes, find my friends, iPhone (etc) and being able to log into iCloud, my new (this year) MBP has somehow reverted to my old ID (old email address, still same account). I just upgraded to Lion and now iCal tells me it can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with Apple ID, which is my old email address.
I want to be able to log in under my old Apple ID to change it over to my current Apple ID, or somehow unlink from my old Apple ID.
I can't remember the password because it's been ages since I've used it. I have tried to reset but I haven't received the reset emails in the last 2 days. I have checked spam and trash in all email addresses in case it is a different address to the one I thought. I have also checked that I don't have any filters that could delete the email.
I tried the secret questions but I can't get past the birthdate page - says my info is incorrect! I have followed the links from the general support area and checked iCloud system status and everything is normal. I have noticed a lot of people have this problem but that it appears unresolved or they haven't written back on how it has been resolved.
This problem seems too common to warrant a phone call or visit to an Apple store (there is no Apple store in my town either). Anyone have any ideas? I promise I'll respond when/if it resolves! By the way, I'm in Australia.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for that advice @randers4.
I linked through and submitted my info as a "topic not covered" in the iCloud section. After entering the serial number of my MBP it turns out I wasn't eligible for technical support (though I don't think this is hardware related support) and the final suggestion was to take my computer into an Apple store. I called my local Apple reseller and asked for assistance. The customer service rep was very nice but unable to help, so suggested I call Apple Support on 1300 321 456. I did so and, again, spoke to two very polite and helpful customer service people (I was transferred to security services). I didn't have to be on hold to speak to either rep for more than a few seconds! After trying a few different things, he worked out what was happening...
So, to cut a long story short, to solve the problem in my OP, all I had to do was log out of iCloud in my System Preferences and log back in using my current Apple ID. [Edited to add that I had to sign out of everything I was currently signed in to with my Apple ID before logging out and in again.]
Problem solved!

Apps will not install or update, after IOS6 upgrade

After upgrading to IOS6, whenever I try to install or update an App, it says "waiting..." underneath its icon and has a completely empty status bar. And never moves. I had 8 apps that have been stuck that way for hours - all trying to update when I did an "update all" from the app store the first time after upgrading.
So I tried powering off/on the phone. I tried resetting the phone (holding home and power button together). I deleted all the affected apps. And now I am attempting to reinstall just one. And it is stuck. Help?

The solution that worked for me was to identify the apps that were stuck updating, and then find them on my iPhone. (You can't search for them, you have to find their icon on your iPhone's desktop.) Then I deleted those apps. Then I went back to the App store, and they downloaded/updated like normal. I did the same thing for the same problem on my iPad, and that also worked.
Best of luck to everyone.

Why am I not receiving an email after multiple requests to reset my password?

Help!

Either they got caught in a spam filter, or they're being sent to an address other than the one you're checking, or there's a problem on Apple's servers. If you can't find them, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

After upgrading to Lion from Snow Leopard, mail server does not receive incoming email

After upgrading my server last night [2011.07.20] from Snow Leopard to Lion, my mail server settings went belly up. After toying around with the server, its certificates and what-not, I was able to get it running, but it is no longer receiving any emails [neither internally nor from Gmail, Yahoo, etc.].
I can send emails via SMTP just fine [using SSL] to external email accounts [and it doesn't complain when I address an email to an internal email account, but I can't verify that it's sending it to the internal email account because it won't receive!].
The Connection Doctor says that it is indeed connecting properly to the server [incoming = IMAP, outgoing = SMTP], so there is communication between Mail 5.0 [and also Thunderbird as well] and the mail server. The problem appears to be the mail server not receiving any emails - from internal or external addresses.
Anyone else having this problem or know of a fix for it?
Thanks!

Did you find a solution to this issue? My mail server is doing the same thing. I've tried six migrations now, and have a couple of tickets open, but they all have issues. I have worked around all of them except the mail server problem.
I did some more digging; the problem appears to be that on a migrated server, it leaves all of your mail store in the old location, doesn't move it, and then doesn't appear to upgrade spam-assassin properly. The net effect is that the mail server gets the SMTP communication, tries to pass the message into spam assassin, and then it goes south.
I see errors like this littered in the logs:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: No such file or directory
Do you see anything similar?

Not receiving iCloud emails

I haven't received a single email to my iCloud (@me.com) account since Friday - I know there must be some sort of problem because I have ordered from Amazon and Tesco, who always send confirmation emails but I have received nothing. I've already checked my settings and there is nothing being forwarded anywhere. I don't know what to do, I feel like I am missing important emails and haven't a clue how to fix it. The problem is the same on all of my devices - using icloud.com, my iPhone, and my iPad. Anyone have any advice?!?

Hi nickp0423,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not receiving any emails to your iCloud email account on multiple devices. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

Account locked. I am not receiving an email to change my password. I have tried 4 times.

My Mother, over the weekend, managed to get her account locked after misstyping her email multiple times. This is not the first time this has happened, so she went through the process of trying to change her password, via getting an email sent to her from Apple. If you read the title of the thread, you'd see my problem. Here we are, 4 days later, and we've yet to receive an email from Apple allowing us to change her password.
I've applied for Apple to send us the email so we can reset her password multiple times, not counting how many times she tried over the weekend as she was out. I'd like to know why we're not receiving this email, because we've had to go through this process before, and it's gone without a hitch.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Sorry just finishing my jam sandwich.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Post your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether.

I have applied for the free up-to-date program for the mountain lion os x upgrade. I received a tracking number too. How do I use this number to find out the status of my request? I have not received any email since the past 24 hours of my applicaiton.

It's hard to give accurate advise without knowing exactly which iMac model you have?
However, beware that your iMac must meet both Processor and RAM requirements.
OS X Lion - Technical Specifications
General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Also note that while 2GB of RAM is the minimum requirment, you will be much happier with 4 GB or more.
RAM is a user upgrade, see > iMac: How to remove or install memory

Did not receive confirmation email

I purchased a phone charger about an hour ago and still have not received a confirmation email. I had checked out as a guest so I cannot check the order status that way and the charge has already showed up on my card. Additionally I had chosen the in store pick up option and am worried I will not receive an email alerting me when I am able to come and pick it up. Has anyone had something similar like this happen? Is there anyone I can specifically contact?

Hello hk5791a,
I'm very sorry to hear that your order confirmation email had not arrived after over an hour. Certainly we strive to provide communications that are prompt and accurate and I very much regret that this was not your experience.
Using the information you provided when you signed up for Best Buy Unboxed, I was able to locate your order. It appears that you were able to pick it up successfully yesterday afternoon!
I'm very grateful that you wrote to us about your experience.
Regards,

HT2534 i did not receive any email verifications? what will i do?

i already made an apple id but i cannot use it bcoz i did not receive any email verification, what will i do about this?

You've checked the spam folder on your rescue email account as well as its inbox, and tried clicking the reset link again ? If you still don't receive it then contact Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset them.
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security.
When they've been reset check that your rescue email address is spelt correctly for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses.

YouTube icon missing after ios6 upgrade

YouTube icon missing after ios6 upgrade

D-fest,
I was upset about the YouTube app as well, and my initial impressions were that the Apple YouTube app was better, but after using it a bit I realized the Google YouTube app was actually better. Some of the features are initially not obvious (in this case it was a matter of what I was used to), but they are all there and more. It seems to generally work better too.
I don't stream an awful lot, but I have not experienced any wifi drops while doing so yet.
