What do you do when you get a 'connection to mail server failed' message?

What do you do when you get a "connection to mail server failed" message?

if it used to work and you did not change anything then it's most likely the internet connection or the mail provider server which are having the  problem in which case you wait
if not then they changed their settings and you needs to adjust to their new settings
or your carrier changed their settings so they block the required ports

  • Hi All,trying to sync.getting error: connection to the server failed

    Hi All,

    Hi Bharat,
    why open another Task for the same question?
    Your question is a little to wide open - unfortunately. As I said in the other blog - have a lock into the general TCP/IP settings. Is standard WWW browsing possible? Can you reach the NWA page from Toughbook?
    And as my previous workmatre said - check the log please and send us the relevant part. I expect it says just, host not found or so - so please do the above checks as well. It is not the HArdware as such, it is your configuration and this is problematic to tell with just that one sentence you gave us.
    Hope we get you started from here!
    Regards,
    Oliver

  • Exchange Sync issues - Cannot get mail - the connection to the server faile

    Since the upgrade to 2.2, I seem to be having a very frustrating mail issue that i cant seem to fix.
    While trying to download my mail from my INBOX (on an exchange server) i get an error message - "Cannot get mail - the connection to the server failed"
    ALTHOUGH when syncing my Sent mails, Calendar and contacts i have no issues.
    I have tried rebooting the iphone as well as deleting my mail settings and reloading. The reloading was close to working as the iphone did download some messages (in the inbox) but stops someway through it and gives me the error message. Once i get the error message the phone will not download anymore / other mail messages.
    Please can someone offer some suggestions.

    Hope this helps someone like me, who has trying to figure out what went wrong. I have an iPhone 3G and ActiveSync to Exchange 2003 was working perfect for month's. All of a sudden today it stopped syncing my inbox and my battery just about died? Searched and Searched, rebooted Exchange, removed email account info, still not luck keep getting "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed" message. The weird thing is I could get to my sent items, Calendar and AD contacts? But a thread in another Apple forum opened my eyes to what the problem was...a corrupt email in my inbox. Not sure what email it was I pretty much deleted every email I had after the last one I received on the iPhone. But it fixed the problem, no messing with Exchange virtual directories...nothing...just deleted a corrupt email!
    Hope this helps someone.....

  • What does it mean when you get a "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enought memory available." ? And what can I do to correct it?

    What does it mean when you get a "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enought memory available." ? And what can I do to correct it?

    Well, I installed the latest iTunes this AM, works perfectly.  Although for some reason it did lock up after playing a song today.
    Horror stories?  That's a bit overly dramatic.
    No, it isn't.
    The issue you are experiencing is one that has occurred in multiple versions of iTunes, a simple search would have revealed this.
    A simple search was conducted, no one seemed to have an answer.  Do you always adopt such a haughty attitude?  Or was I just lucky.

  • HT201299 what does it mean when you get this message on the Iphone? "online maps consume data traffic"

    what does it mean when you get this message on the Iphone? "online maps consume data traffic"

    That means that if you use online maps, it will consume data. If you're on WiFi, no worries. If you are on cellular data, then it will eat into your cellular data plan.

  • What does it mean when I get a message that says you do not have enough privileges for this operation

    What does it mean when I get a message that says You do not have enough access privileges for this operation

    To be honest I'd be very tempted to ring Applecare and explain that prior to downloading iOS5 your iPod Touch worked perfectly however since downloading Apple's new iOS5 it's "bricked" therefore can they as a matter of decency try to help put things right warranty situation notwithstanding.  Afterall it does appear to be one of Apple's products that has broken your previously working iPod Touch.

  • HT201253 what do you do when you sync gets stuck at step 3 of 7?

    what do you do when you sync gets stuck at step 3 of 7?

    i don't know why it happens. but i know how frustrating it can be. the same thing happened to me. i posted a few inquiries in different apple forums and didn't get any ideas of how to fix it. i did however find a solution on my own.
    i found that if i did a "restore my ipad" that it fixed it. i was hesitant at first because i was afraid of loosing valuable information. but much to my relief i didn't loose any thing. other than an hour of my time.
    this seemed to fixed my problem of being stuck on "waiting for items to copy". my ipad now syncs both wired and wirelessly without any hang ups. however i would suggest that if you are syncing a large amount of data (movies for example) that you do it wired and not wirelessly. i found that it takes a lot longer to sync movies wirelessly.
    good luck
