TS3899 Is there a reason for Yahoo mail to keep saying connection to server failed
Is there a reason why my Ipad keeps saying the connection to the server failed using my mail app but
i can gain entry to my account using Google then Yahoo mail.
Other than yahoo being a general pain in the behind?
It's been buggy at best for quite a while now. I have noticed that it doesn't like some connections, for example my mail simply will not download if I'm on certain AT&T hotspots via the mail app, but works just fine if I access it via safari.
I also had periods of time just this AM when my PC wouldn't even access my mail. IMHO, Yahoo has upgraded their mail to nice pretty barely function.
If it persists too long you can try to uninstall/reinstall your mail account in the mail app (Under settings, mail, contacts and calendar). Or it may simply be your connection or hotspot and it will resolve once you use a different connection.
I believe yahoo mail also has an app but I have no experience with how well it may/may not work

HT5361 Why did my mail stop...connection to server failed
WWhy did Mail stop.....connection to server failed, what is that
It means Mail can't connect to the accounts mail server, which in turn means it can't send or receive e-mail.

My ipad2 won't connect to another ipad2. It rings, says connecting, then says call failed. I've connected with this person before. Stopped working recently. And my audio won't work on FaceTime. Mute is off and all settings set for sound.
I've had this issue between 2 iMacs and an iPad2. No solutions yet, and I've tried changing the DNS. Sorry.

Long time for a Mail Client to verify connection to server normal?
Server: Tiger (G4)
Client: Leopard Mail.app (G5 iMac)
Local network.
When adding an imap account it takes a long time to verify the inbound and outbound (same server) connection. I don't have actual time but it seems like a long time and is much longer than it takes to get a cup of java.
Does it do a lot of checking or do I have a mail server problem is what my concern is.
It (mail app) always carries on, I.e. is happy to use the server eventually.H,
my first guess would be at DNS. Are you using internal DNS? If so is it the first on the list at the client (system prefs---network).
There are several different schools of thought on this (network geeks can have serious religious disagreements about this, just add beer and we'll argue it for days) but where possible, run internal DNS on the mailserver that, at least, knows about itself and point your clients at it. DNS is virtually no load on the server (even with a LOT of clients hitting it, its pretty lightweight) and can speed up a number of things. Just remember to point the server at itself as its first DNS as well by using 127.0.0.1 and giving it a valid search domain (your domain.com).
My $.02 Hope it 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.

Why is my iPad saying it can't retrieve my mail it keeps saying about a server.
iPad will not connect to the server so I can get my mail ?
First, make sure you have an Internet connection by either WiFi or cellular if you have that model iPad...do you have the WiFi fan next to iPad in the upper left corner?
Second, do you have the email account setup properly? Go to Settings > Mail, Calendars, Contacts > Accounts > Incoming Mail Server > is the Host Name correct, is the User Name correct, is a Password set? -

Is there a reason why the mail badge icon on my iPad doesn't disappear when I open an email on my iPhone using my iCloud account?
Hi everyone!
Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities:
"The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
Let's keep looking guys... -
Hi, I've been playing Smurf's village for a year now and just last week, i tried to get into the app but it keeps rejecting and goes back to the main page. Is there any reason for this? I've been updating the app everytime and now it's not letting me in. Pls advise. Tq
Reset the device, restart the device, try downloading any other app.
All of these are basic steps that could have been found by a simple search of the forums as a resolution for the issue. -

What are the settings for yahoo mail?
Have problems receiving and sending mail.
What are the correct settings for yahoo mail?It used to be that the free yahoo account did not give you IMAP access, only POP3 or webmail. However this may since have changed in view of the fact Google Gmail has offered free IMAP access for years.
I found the following article which may answer your questions.
