TS3899 Unable to access an mail accounts or mail options through settings (3GS).  Maddening!

Hi all. 
I'm almost ready to toss this iPhone out the window but thought I should bring my problems to the community first.  Who knows....perhaps someone else has had this issue.
So after the last iOS push to 6.0.1 (10A523) I have been unable to access any of my email accounts.  (I have a gmail acct, yahoo acct, & a couple of domain pop accounts....nothing fancy or complicated).   I'm in the network services space, so I can get around fairly well w/ server/desktop/laptop/mobile devices so if you respond feel free to be as technical like. 
So here are the basic facts surrounding the problem that started with the latest iOS push:
Accessing mail app = device pauses/hangs for @ 3 seconds and drops me back to the main iPhone screen.
Accessing "Settings" = device immediately drops me back to the main iPhone screen.
Settings + General + Reset + Erase All Content and Settings = standard reset/reboot process, standard device setup, + restore from back-up = device restores to previous device condition including mail app showing 10 messages (as it has shown since this became an issue), and I am back at square 1 and can not access mail, can not access mail through settings etc. 
Thoughts?

Close the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • TS3899 Since downloading the latest upgrade - we have been unable to access all email accounts.  Tried going to Settings etc - still not working.

    We downloaded the latest upgrade.  Since then we have been unable to open emails.   We followed instructions to change Privacy settings - but don't have any options available once we click on that.  Privacy page comes up with Location Services (Off) etc.  Any ideas how we can overcome problem ?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • I'm unable to set up ATT account in mail

    I'm unable to set up ATT account in mail

    Is this happening when you try to receive mail, or send mail? When you create the account, does it verify? You should see a message that it is verifying, and if it does.

  • Unable to access my ee account

    I have been unable to access my ee account online for almost 2 weeks. My username and password are accepted and then I receive a landing page error and cannot go any further, The whole ee site was down last week for a day too. Has anyone else experienced any issues with this? 

    Hi ,
    I can understand this must be annoying.
    Have you tried to clear the cache and open a new web browser?
    Has this worked in the past for you?
    Thanks.

  • Unable to re-add gmail account to Mail app

    I'm trying to re-setup a Google email account that I deleted from my Macbook Pro (Yosemite). I get the following message when trying to set it up in Internet Accounts:
    There was a problem setting up the Mail account.
    Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "mydomain.com".
    If I click OK, my contacts, Calendar, and Messages accounts are all configured. Only the Mail account isn't checked (or setup in Mail). When I try to check the box, it immediately unchecks with no error given.
    I noted the following log entries in the system log, not sure if they are related:
    11/9/14 1:23:38.770 PM com.apple.preferences.internetaccounts.remoteservice[3960]: Neither of UserNameIsEmailAddress or UserNameMatchesEmailAddress were set for [email protected], pretending that UserNameMatchesEmailAddress is set

    11/9/14 1:25:17.241 PM icbaccountsd[4192]: Connection error while checking Apple Internalness. Error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "Couldn’t communicate with a helper application." (The connection to service named com.apple.CrashReporterSupportHelper was invalidated.) UserInfo=0x7fb90b4236d0 {NSDebugDescription=The connection to service named com.apple.CrashReporterSupportHelper was invalidated.}
    I've tried setting the account up manually ("Add Other Account...") but that also failed. I've tried repairing within Disk Utilities. I've restart multiple times.
    I've verified that IMAP is enabled for this account. I am able to set this account up in the third party app Postbox (another email client for mac) with no issues.
    There must be something wrong with my local configuration and I'm out of ideas. Help?

    precisely the same issue on 2 computers on 10.9 and 10.10
    - the accounts are google apps for business accounts
    - imap is on
    - 2 step verification is off
    - upgrading the 10.9 machines resulted in the same issue/error
    - running onyx and cleaning out everything did nothing
    - trashing mail prefs nothing
    - creating new user account on the macs...same issue
    - i can setup the accounts on my own 10.10 machine (ios also works for those 2 accounts)
    completely dead in the water....my next step to try is to clean install the 2 effected machine....

  • TS3899 iPad mail account says problem with 'ssl settings' - can you help me?

    iPad mail account says problem with 'ssl settings' - can you help me?

    The 4Gs hardware, only 256 MB of RAM, prohibits updating beyond 6.1.6.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Cannot add a new email account, and hence icloud account. When i go into Settings - Mail, accounts, calendars,  the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud Settings ghosted (unclickable). Cannot change in itunes also.

    Cannot add a new email account, and hence i have no way of creating an iCloud account (very frustrating). I had the same problem with iOS 4.3 but i had no email account to create as i set both up when i bought the iPhone 4. After adding a company email and a gmail account (both wok perfectly) i noticed that the option to create more email accounts had been ghosted (unclickable). This didn't worry me at the time. However, iCloud needs me to create one in here so i can access the cloud which i desperately want the ability to do. When i go into Settings -> Mail, accounts, calendars,  the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud in the iPhone Settings ghosted (unclickable). I have same problem in itunes on Mac OSX. Surely restoring isn't the solution as i restored my iphone when changing from iOS 4.3 -> 5. Please help?

    Go to
    Settings,
    General,
    Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
    Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
    Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.
    Hope this helps.

  • Help With Hooking Up A Google Apps Mail Account With Mail.app v 4.4?

    I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out with this, basically I'm at university, and my university E-mail account is set up through google apps. It looks like this "[email protected]", and I'd like to be able to access this account through Mail.app, but I'm struggling to get the two to play nice, does anyone know what incoming and outcoming settings I need to use to get it to work, or if there's any settings I need to alter in Gmail itself first?
    Thanks a lot in advance for any help anyone can give me.
    Sam

    Sorry, sorted it, just had to fill it all out like a normal IMAP Gmail account but fill out my entire email address anytime it asked for a username.

  • Mail Accounts in Mail

    I had to re-establish one of my e-maila accounts in Mail and I can't see any messages.  It shows me how many messages are unread in the left panel, but no messages are displayed in the main window.  Can someone suggest a fix?

    If you deleted the account in Mail in order to re-create it, you deleted all messages in account mailboxes.  If the account was a POP account, those messages are probably not still on the server, but you can be sure by selecting the account, pressing command-i and seeing what messages are reported as being on the server.  If the account was IMAP, then the messages should all still be on the server.  You may simply need to force the account to sync (Mailbox -> Synchronize All Accounts).
    If the messages are gone, do you have any backups?

  • HT3376 i need to add a new imap mail account and Mail automatically creates a pop one. what should I do? thank you

    I need to create a new imap mail account in Mail and the program automatically creates a pop one.
    What should I do?
    Thank you for your help.

    Hello, on about the second step, it doesn't give you a choice of POP, IMAP, or Exchange? Or does it change it to POP if you choose IMAP anyway?
    Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?

  • Can't delete mail account from Mail

    Hello -
    Am new to OS X Server.
    I bought a MacMini server and have been fiddling with various settings, learning how best to deploy it in my business. Once I feel comfortable, I am planning to wipe it and start a fresh.
    But at the moment, on my MBP, I have two identical IMAP accounts in Mail - both linked to the mail service on the server. I can delete one of them - but it reappears a few moments later. The second one reappears instantly.
    I have "Unlinked" my MBP with the server in logon options under preferences - but this doesn't seem to help.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I can delete them?
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Identical problem
    - Mail service automatically configured [email protected] I allowed this in response to server's invitation. I had one local server mail account under Mail 4.1 and disabled it, instantly creating two more that I can't disable because the "Save" responds that the path (/Users/Me/Library/Mail/[email protected]) is taken. And when "-" removing them they instantly reappear. I can remove two and tell the last one not to get mail but unchecking "Enable" and save (only by leaving that account) only makes all three instantly reappear.
    - In Server Preferences, for each user, I can't turn off Mail service. Gear spin flashes. Checkbox stays off but switch to another user and back and it's checked Mail again. Deleting the Contact Info > Contact > jabber and email still won't let you uncheck Mail.
    - In Server Preferences clicking on User then Group then User again accounts started disappearing. User gone, another, all gone. Then can't run Server Preferences because it can't log in. "There may be a problem with the Open Directory Service." Restart server again. All back. Still can't uncheck Mail service.
