Using correct ISP settings, "can't get mail, connection to the srvr failed"

Hi
I just bought this iphone and it's working great synching with my exchange server (work email account), and with my go daddy server (hobby email account), but it wont get mail from my home ISP email account.
I've got the incomming and outgoing server names right, even changed the port to a number the ISP recommended. For some reason, the ISP tech guys knew it would be problematic- and they said if you have problems, contact AT&T or Apple directly.
Anyone have any thoughts about how to get my phone to connect to my home isp server?

Does the SMTP server for this email account require authentication and if not, it seems authentication for the SMTP server has been enabled based on the error message provided. If authentication for the SMTP server is not supported/required, try selecting None for authentication but this will likely be a problem when trying to send messages with this account unless you are connected to a wi-fi network with your ISP as the internet service provider for the wireless network.

Basically the message is saying the phone can't talk to the place where your email is stored for some reason. This could be an incorrect username/password, or some other issues. Follow the steps in this article and see if they help:

"Cannot get mail, connection to the service failed". why and how do I repair it?

"Cannot get mail, connection to the service failed". why and how do I repair it?

Thanks. However...these links are to basic troubleshooting. Good stuff, except I -- like it seems others -- have multiple email accounts coming into their iPhones (my case, iPhone 5 running latest version of iOS) that until this past Friday evening (September 12, 2014).... worked perfectly, then just all stopped.
In my case, I also lost access to an internet forum I frequent multiple times daily. All worked fine, until things abruptly stopped working the evening of September 12.
Seems like anything with a stored login/password got hosed.
I went into the profiles to make sure my passwords were still there (thought they may have somehow gotten wiped out), but they were there. I re-entered them just in case, no change.
Now just this morning, Sunday September 14, two emails from the same (employer) email account have trickled in. But nothing from the others (gmail, yahoo mail).
Spouse is having same issue on an iPhone 5.

Cannot get mail, connection to the service failed after iOS7

After upgrading to iOS7, I am getting repeated "Cannot Get Mail: The connection to the server failed." message everytime I open the email. I click OK and after it goes away, I do get email later. But it happens everytime now. Reset the iPad but still happening. Do I have to hard reset the darn thing? Any ideas?

Don't hard reset.
Instead, go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars and the to Accounts. Note the settings for your iPad, then delete the account - and then reenter the information. Make sure it's 100% correct.
Many, many people - myself included - had to reenter email settings after the iOS7 update.

How can I get Mail to capitalise the first letter of a sentence?

Hello all,
this is my first time using apple Support Community. i am a new apple user and have just got my first MacBookPro (its wonderful). however, i am having some difficulties.
How can i get Mail to capitalize the first letter of a sentence and also capitalize 'i' as 'I' automatically?
Also, how can i get apps like Pages to do the same? and for that matter typing into internet sites like this one? look at the lack of automatic punctuation!!
Thank you all for any advice and tips you may have.
Paul.

I don't think whether it's easier or not is really an issue. The problem is that all of these wonderful technologies are taking away our understanding of how to communicate in writing. It's not a matter of being lazy and not "wanting" to do it, but rather getting to a point where many people "can't" do it.
I certainly wasn't pointing any fingers. I use a calculator (or computer if I happen to be on one at the time) to do the most basic math calculations. I can be out to lunch with co-workers and we have to pull out a calculator to split a bill 4 ways. I went through school at a time when calculators were not permitted. So, at one time, I could have easily done all of that stuff in my head. So far as math goes, my mind has turned to mush a long time ago. I doubt I could work my way through a long division problem at this point... even if I sat there and really tried.
Computers were not generally consumer items when I was growing up. So I didn't grow up in a world with spell checking. I have certainly grown to use it though and I'm sure my ability to spell properly has diminished somewhat because of it. I tend to be less careful when typing something out. If I'm not sure of the spelling on something, I just let my computer either fix it or give me a suggestion for the corrected spelling. Fortunately, I grew up having to rely on my own ability to spell, so with that foundation, I tend to do fairly well when it comes to spelling.
We're at a point now where systems can correct grammar and sentence structure. I think all of these are great tools to help us out, but they shouldn't be used to take the place of actually knowing how to do things. Having said that, I'm fairly sure that is exactly what will happen. Just as today, I rely almost entirely on some form of electronics for everyday math, I'm sure people growing up today with expert systems able to correct everything will rely on those equally.

IMAP fine in Mail; "Connection to the Server Failed" on iPhone?

So on my Mac, I have both GMail (works great on iPhone) and an IMAP account for my work's Exchange server set up.
Both accounts work just fine on my Mac; I don't even need to connect to the VPN on my Mac to read Exchange email via IMAP through Mail.
The problem is that the iPhone gives me the "connection to the server failed" whenever I try to connect on either EDGE or wi-fi to read the IMAP Exchange email. The settings in both Mail and the iPhone are identical.
If I turn on the VPN on the iPhone, I get the same message...but at this point, I'm thinking the VPN on the iPhone is worthless.
Can anyone think of a reason why the iPhone can't connect to IMAP even though the laptop can? I'm wracking my brain here trying to figure this out. The purchase of 2 iPhones for other staff to use depends on me getting this up & running! I can tell you that the others will NOT accept "setting up a Yahoo!/GMail account for forwarding. They want their email coming in & responses going out with the company's headers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

This morning, I was able to fully "unlock" and "open" the correct ports (I believe), and now I'm able to receive email from the IMAP Exchange server. According to the IT guy who's helping me, we opened ports 143 and 25 on the ISA server (firewall), and I'm able to receive. Does this sound right to you?
The only problem now is sending. I cannot send any mail through this work account on the iPhone. Mail just "hangs." I can still send/receive just fine on my iBook Mail account for Exchange (IMAP), but no dice on sending.
The Incoming Mail Server and SMTP/outgoing Server addresses are identical. Works fine on the Mac, but not the iPhone. I do believe the 143 port is now fully open...I think.
Am I still missing something? Thanks for your help!

Mail Connection to the server failed

I cannot connect to my gmail on my iPad. It says connection to the server failed.

Cannot get mail the connection to the server failed

I can't get past "connecting to the update server" when I try to update.

I have received the "update now" notice on my computer for several weeks, but when I click the go ahead button, I get as far as "connecting to the update server" but it never progresses (even after 1/2 hour of waiting). What shall I do?

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop

* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

How can I get Mail to show the correct cc: address?

Generally, I always set Apple Mail to cc: a copy of any message I send out to me in my regular user name. For some strange reason, since I upgraded to Mavericks last year, instead of migrating my name to the cc: line in any message I send, on one of my computers some other version of my name with my college graduating class at the end of it and many spaces between my first and last name appears in the cc: line instead. What has gone wrong in this particular computer, and where is it in the preferences or other low-level files that I can fix it? I try to remove the faulty address from my list, but it keeps coming back to haunt me when next I boot up my computer. I find the file in Contacts on that computer, but for some reason I cannot delete it. Any suggestions about how to fix this problem?

HI,
As far as I am aware Messages marks or time stamps an iMessage at the time of receipt rather then the time you got around to reading it.
I will admit that in most cases reading and receiving as the app opens will be near enough the same time in some conversations.
Adding Time Stamps to Chat is what iChat has always done particularly with AIM based Chats.
The "Sync" in Messages is "display on all devices" and after that each iMessages is dealth with separately on each device.
There is no syncing of deleting/dimssing an iMessages or having read it on another device.

How can I get Mail to include the entire conversation thread in a reply?

Hi there,
So, for work I end up having to manage all my email on the gmail website because people need to be able to see the entire thread and the Mail app doesn't seem to include everything. It just replies with the most recent message and that's it.
It works fine on the gmail website so I'm thinking this must be a thing in the Mail app.
Is there a setting I can change in the Mail app to allow me to reply and include the entire thread by default?
Thanks!

Mail menu > Preferences... > Composing
Choose the applicable preferences under Responding.
If Mail does appear to show the entire thread, click the blue "See more from..." text at the bottom.
