Original iPhone w/2.0: won't connect to mail servers

I updated my original iPhone to the 2.0 firmware (after some trouble), but now retrieving mail refuses to function.
I use IMAP over SSL, which fails with a "The connection to the server xxx failed." message. I also have tried my GMail and Yahoo accounts... nothing works. Sometimes the 'wait' icon on the top just stays on a long time, sometimes it comes back with an error very quickly.
With a packet viewer, I can see my iPhone sending packets to my mail server and getting response packets, but it just won't work.
I'd suspect bad settings somehow, but then the GMail and Yahoo stuff should be working if it's just a settings issue.
The web browser and App Store work. it's not a network thing.
Any ideas?

Okay, today for no apparent reason both GMail and Yahoo have started working. My local IMAP is not.
I noticed on the earlier 1.1.4 firmware I had to set up my IMAP server for SSL2... could the new one use SSL3?
Also, my IMAP server certificate is self-signed. The old firmware asked once if it was okay, then allowed it from then on. Does anyone have a IMAP server with a self-signed certificate working with the 2.0 firmware?

Mail won't connect to mail servers

This has happened before and my only solution was to reset the iPod.
I'm connecting to .Me and Comcast mail. The iPod tries and tries and won't connect. It worked fine just the other day and I believe it was working fine after the upgrade to 2.0.2. Mail would download very quickly.
Anyone else run into this? The Mail app just sits and spins and won't ever connect. I'll be restoring the iPod tonight but this is very frustrating.

My iPod Touch with latest software upgrade simply won't connect to my POP Mail Servers to retrieve mail. Oddly, I can send messages using the same Servers! GMAIL work fine.
I have deleted and recreated the account definitions many times and reset the iPod. I know the entered details (password etc) are correct.
It worked a month or so ago but has always been intermittent - I am sure this is a bug in the Mail application.
What is strange is that the SSL and Port Number keep getting changed after I set them to the correct settings. If I change them back they eventually change again to (SSL=Yes and some other Port Number).
This is my first Apple device and, while it is a great piece of hardware, the software reliability and support leaves me wondering why everyone has been panning Microsoft all these years.

Any ideas?

I've been having the same issue since yesterday and can't figure out a fix. Any help is appreciated.

please help !!!

Hey CompeauC,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I can definitely understand the frustration, and there are some troubleshooting steps that don't necessarily necessitate rebooting the router. I found a couple of articles that should be able to assist you in resolving the issue, one for your Mac and the other for your two iOS devices:

IPad, iPhone, and Mac book won't connect to wifi

My ipad (6.1.3), my Mac book (10.6.8), and my iPhone 4(6.1.3) won't connect to home wifi even though all of them did on Sunday night (2 days ago). I have tried forgetting network and reconnecting but didn't work. I have tried to reset network settings on my devices but didn't work. The only thing that works so far is rebooting the router but that's feasible or fair to the other people (who are not apple users) in the house. Everyone else's laptops, tablets, phones, and play station can connect and stay connected. All of my devices can see the network but connection times out. Please help!

Original iPhone - attempted reset all - won't turn off

Has anyone ever experienced and found a fix for an original iPhone that won't shut down after trying to reset all (from the Settings icon on the phone itself)?

Have you tried resetting the phone?
-hold the sleep/wake button and home button simultaneously until the display goes black and the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work, try updating the phone. If the issue is malfunctioning software this may fix it.

Iphone 3g pairs, but won't connect to 520 plantronics headset via bluetooth

I have a 520 plantronics headset, it pairs fine with both my MBP and my iPhone. With the MBP, it connects fine and can be used as expected.
It will not, however, connect to the iphone (but pairs ok). I have search the web, but I am just guessing. Does anyone know how to make it work?
Although the 520 can pair/connect to 2 devices (MBP and iphone), my primary interest is in using it with the iphone).
Thanks

Mail does not connect to mail servers after 10.5.7 update

Updated Macbook Air with 10.5.7 update. The update went without problems.
After starting the computer, the Mail program does not connect to the mail servers - IMAP, POP, SMTP.
Otherwise the internet connection is OK for other programs, connection is through WIFI - Airport Extreme, Time Capsule... In all cases the same problem with Mail - showing the following
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server “mail.mac.com” on port 993 failed (error 1: Operation not permitted)
The connection doctor shows
Mail was able to connect to the internet
and for all the servers - could not connect, check your connection...
Did repair of keychain and permissions - no change in status of Mail... any ideas?

This is what shows up in console: (maybe someone who can understand this can help us!)

Problems with connection to mail servers

Ever since updating to ios 6.1.2 I can't connect to any mail servers via the mail app. I'm using Yahoo and gmail, both worked before and still work when logged in via safari. I already deleted cookies, cache and history on the ipad, I deleted the mail accounts several times and set them up again, I rebooted several times (before an after deleting the mail accounts) and I tried setting up the mail as "other" mail server and set custom mail settings. Nothing worked and the last received mail was on the 28th of february before installing the new ios update.

I would say that there is either a problem with your iPads WiFi connection, or the WiFi network does not like the Mail.app of iOS 6.1.2 Try and change the Server Port maybe your WiFi doesn't like the one you have right now. Also the firewall of your router can be a problem, but since only the iPad with iOS 6.1.2 doesn't work and it worked before the update I would clearly search on the iPad for the problem.

IOS 8.2 , iPhone 6 plus , iTunes won't connect to store

since updating my phone iTunes no longer accepts my account or password giving me can't connect to store error message.
WOrked before , worked to sign in to here but won't on the phone.

As provided else where Store is currently unavailable probably since it is the middle of the night on West Coast when Apple would do maintenance
it is nothing to do with iOS 8 or any other iPhone issues
The servers are not available regardless of the method used to access Mac Windows PC etc etc

HT204409 I have a new iphone 5 and it won't connect to a wireless router that my old iphone 3GS would pick up. Is there a compatibility issue with some routers or is the antenna weaker in the new iphone 5?

Re: Anyone still having IOS 6 wifi issues?
created by mpa9366 in Using iPad - View the full discussion
Having done a lot of reading today and having found a very good online tablet magazine (will post link tomorrow) there seems to be a few tech bods onto the problem.
The magazine I was reading identified wifi problems within hours of the ios 6 release and have been analysing since then with almost daily updates - the story seems to be:
The apple authenthication transmission is normal, it should slip through event prior to a full handshake with the host network being completed - however if not authenthicated then apple will not permit the device to connect (kills the connection) this is designed to protect apple from counterfeiting. So thats problem 1 if you dont receive a token from apple.
Problem 2 is that ios 6 only supports ipv6 (the new ip protocol) whereas outside silicon valley a large proportion of routers modems etc are still ipv4 protocol.
So youre locked into ipv6 in a world where ipv4 devices are everywhere and apple have not allowed for the ability to handle both protocols. This is like GM telling you your car requires an upgrade, everything will improve etc and as part of the upgrade fits a fuel cell motor and stays silent when their upgraded vehicles are simply parked up because they cannot get fuel.
A very basic expectation would have been dual protocol handling - we know the HW supports ipv4 as all wad fine on ios5.
So its going to be hit and miss with networks - more hit than miss in techy areas like silicon valley, but more miss in places like where I am - a small town in rural Switzerland.
Only apple can fix this with a patch to enable ipv4 protocol handling.
There you go. you just need to buy a new router, I'm sure Apple has one for sale, cause it's not there fault for sure.
Wonder why people start to migrate to other devices ?

I did an update to my wife's iPhone and now it won't connect through the 3G. It says you are not connected to a cellular data service

I Updated my wife's iPhone the other to the new operating system. It asked me first to use iCloud backup so I did. After the update was complete my wife can use wifi but when we try the 3G it says you are not connected to a cellular data service.
IT shows Bell as the provider but we seem to have lost something during this update.
can someone help me please.

Check Settings>General>Cellular and make sure Cellular Data is set to On. If it is, try putting it in Airplane mode for 15 seconds, then turn Airplane mode off again. If it persists, give you carrier a call to confirm that it's properly activated with them and that your data plan is properly provisioned.

Trying to activate my new Iphone 4s, saying it won't connect to my wi-fi

I just received my new iphone 4s (first iphone ever) and turned it on to activate it. I tried to connect to my wi-fi but it keeps searching, never allowing me to enter my password. Tried connecting through a cellular network, but says the iphone can not be activated because the activation server can't be reached.
Not sure what the solution is here. Thoughts?
Thank you,
M

Reboot your WiFi router, and if that doesn't fix the WiFi problem make sure the firmware in it is up to date.
Also try connecting it to the latest version of iTunes on your computer with a cable if the WiFi connectivity is not fixed by these steps.

IPhone 4S, brand new, won't connect to computer, will connect to charger. Help?

I bought a new iPhone 4S last week. After trying to connect it to my computer, it asked me to uninstall and reinstall windows. I did. Still wouldn't connect to computer (windows). I have an iPod touch as well. It's been working great with my computer and iTunes for almost two years. Never had a problem with that. With the iPhone I've tried using different usb ports, nothing, different cords, nothing, tried resbooting iPhone while plugged into computer, nothing, tried rebooting the computer with iPhone plugged in, nothing, closed all background running apps, nothing, tried updating to iOS6, and THAT did nothing. It will connect fine to the charger, but my computer absolutely refuses to even sense it. Has anyone else had this problem, or should I just take it back to the store tomorrow?
