Why is mail not working

I can't receive or send mails. When I tap mail on my iPad I do not get a response

If the Mail app isn't working then try closing it via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why is mail not working with gmail?

    And not for nothin', it doesn't seem to be working at all as it used to.
    Nearly every morning I come down and see the message that Mail has crashed... again.
    I am beginning to really, really regret installing Mavericks and wish I could go back... but now important documents have been upgraded to the new Pages and Keynote so I'm stuck.
    So... I'm discovering that my iPad and my MacAir are the only machines that will load my gmail. My iPhone won't and my iMac won't.
    I have no confidence that things are synching across all Apple products.
    I believe I have done all the updates.
    This is not the standard we have relied on in the past (and I've been an Apple person since the Apple II).
    Please help us...
    I probably wouldn't even be using Gmail if Apple had not discontinued iDisk forcing me to go somewhere else for cloud storage. Still mourning that move.

    Sorry -- the fact is that there doesn't seem to be any logic to what is happening -- or rather not happening.
    There are two issues and I don't know if they are related or not.
    GMAIL and MAIL:
    Works on my MacAir but NOT on my iMac. Both have OSX 10.9 with most recent updates.
    Works on my iPad with exactly the same account configuration as my iPhone... where it doesn't work.
    MAIL in general on my iMac:
    From day one with Mavericks, Mail refuses to remember my iCloud login information.
    It remembers my university's email config (@rwu.edu)
    Nothing shows up under Gmail at all but it doesn't give me the Lightning symbol to tell me there's a problem.
    Just about every morning I come back to my computer and there's an application crashed dialog box that tells me Mail unexpectedly quit and do I want to REOPEN. And when I do, I have to log in for my iCloud Mail to show up.
    I assume that crash reports are automatically going to Apple... I don't get the option to send it to you.
    Thanks in advance.
    Addendum: I hesitate to delete the Gmail account from anywhere in case the result is that I will lose my ability to read  Gmail on the two appliances where it is all working. That, and the fact that it is the end of the semester and I have 100 students emailing me everyday about last minute things and final exams. NOT the time to delete ANYTHING. But I might try next week...

  • Why is mail not working for gmail

    I have an iPhone 5 via AT&T for data service.  When I try to send out an email via ios mail - the send shows up at the bottom and the email does not get sent?

    Yeah, try deleting the account and setting up GMail again.. OR you could download the Gmail app from the appstore and use that app instead

  • Why does mail stop working?

    Why does mail stop working when it has worked fine for years?

    OK, thank you.  I use apple for e-mail.  I have an @me address and I have long subscribed to mobile me, which has recently become icloud.  Yesterday the @me mail account appeared to stop recognizing my e-mail password for my primary mail account on my two imacs but not on my ipad.  The most recent e-mail I have received on my imacs is 7:16am yesterday, but I know from my ipad that I have received numerous e-mails since then.  I have other mail accounts, including one for the school where I teach.  I am receiving e-mail on the school account ok.
    I made no changes to my password or otherwise for my primary mail account any time recently.  I also still have my @mac address.
    Generally, I do not understand icloud.  I do not understand how to sync information across computers.
    When I go to preferences in mail and I click and accounts and account information, I do not understand anything that I see there.  When I try to re-type my password, there seems to be no way to save it except to switch to another mail account.  I know from past experience that if I attempt to fix whatever might be wrong with mail I do not know what I am doing.
    Any information would be helpful.  Thank you.

  • Why does Mail not support read receipts?

    I find it hard to believe that there is a single email application that doesn't support read receipts. For me it is a fairly basic feature I would expect any decent Mail application to have.
    I am currently in the process of writing an email to a company and I want to make sure they get it - a read receipt is how I want to verify that they've had it. Why does Mail not support this?
    If I am going to have to accept that Mail is not the first class application Apple keeps parading around - is there an alternative that offers this and other features I would expect to find in Microsoft Outlook (minus the calendar etc...)?

    Outlook uses a Microsoft-proprietary system for "read receipts", so there may be no way Apple could implement it, or there may be licensing fees involved, or Apple may just not feel that it's worth spending the money to implement. Outlook which is designed to work primarily with an Exchange server, so it's in Microsoft's interest to support Exchange features (note that even Microsoft in their own Mac app do not support all the features theydo on Windows).
    You can express your interest in this feature to Apple via their feedback pages, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    but support for return receipts in any system other than Exchange is very unlikely, since as Matt said it is not part of the Internet email specification and hence not widely supported at all.
    Regards.

  • I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

    I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

    A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
    "...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it."  Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct  25 2013.
    If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
    You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Why it is not working?

    hai all,
    i am new to jsp. please help me with the necessary corrections of the code given below.
    <%@ page import="java.io.*, java.sql.*" %>

    I think you have to put the variables definition (rs, st, con...) in a specific place like this, i mark with (*) what i changed:
    <%! (*)
    ResultSet rs; (*)
    Connection Con; (*)
    Statement st; (*)
    %> (*)
    <% (*)
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver()");
    Con=DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.x.xx:1521:new","old","new");
    st=Con.createStatement();
    %>
    good luck,

  • Why ps3 is not working well with airport

    why ps3 does not work well wth the airport?

    If you are referring to online gaming, then PS3 like all non-apple devices uses upnp to open ports.
    Apple uses NAT-PMP to open ports.. East and West.. never the twain shall meet.
    If it is internal wireless issues.. that is different.. airport should be just like any other wireless router.
    If you tell us the issue we have more hope to help.
