i had this problem till just now. the problem is yahoo updated its securety and less secure app like the ios mail app need permission if you have recently been notified by yahoo to change your password. heres is what you do:
1. log into your yahoo acct.
2. mouse over your name plate when the pop up menu appears click "account info"
3. on the account info page click on the account security tab.
4. scroll down to see "Allow apps that use less secure sign in" option and turn it on it should change blue.
5. go ahead into the ios mail app or into mail setting and add your accounts if you have deleted them and log in like normal. you should be all set.
this has solved my issue on my Iphone4
I met the same issue last night, but it was perfectly solved with a guide named "iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Cannot Get Mail – The Connection to the Server Failed" from one of my friend. Maybe you guys can also refer to it.😉
DId it work after iOS 6 and stop or did it start with iOS 6?
Enable Airplane Mode in "Settings." Then, disable and it should find that missing connection! If not, just make sure you have the right information in your account and keep refreshing.
I am having the same issue. After I updated to iOS 6 I get "cannot get mail the connection to the server failed" for my Exchange mail. My Gmail still works fine. I am not having access issues from any of my other devices. Is there a compatibility issue with iOS6 and Exchange?
After the upgrade to IOS6 , my corportarte email failed over the iPhone to get emails usong IMAP.
It says that the server is not responding, but , the iPad with IOS5 is working with the same account settings.?
I have been modifing the email confoguration during the last hour, i also turned it off , and nothing change, it is not working. 😟 😟
This happened to me, just sing out of you mail, then sighn back in.
I played around a bit and got it working. For anyone else that is having this issue, here is how I solved it (for Exchange at least. I didn't have trouble with Gmail)
Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Exchange -> Exchange (under Accounts) -> Account (under Exchange) -> clicked at end of username field -> Done (on account screen) -> Done (on Exchange screen)
So basically I changed nothing but I think this somehow re-associated the account with the iPad by hitting done. Would love some more insight into why this worked, but it worked.
I hat to delete that accouunt and after that create it again as a new aaccount. It works.!
This is what I did, too - delete Gmail account and create it again. Took about 5 minutes to re-populate my inbox and folders. The good news is, iOS6 remembered whom I had added as VIPs, etc. So settings were unaffected.
Restart your iPod, maybe the iOS 6, made an impact
Thanks everyone.... You have helped me solve my problem... Couldnt get email after iso6 apple update. It kept saying can not connect to the server. I had to delete my Yahoo account in settings and re-add it. Its fine now9only took a couple of mins and didnt lose any contacts/calendar dates etc so all good. Thanks again.
Angie you are lucky. Nothing so far has worked for me. I have tried all the suggested fixes. Deleted, recreated, rebooted, reentered, clicked. Huge problem for me. Does anyone else have any ideas.
Also failed for me the first time. I tried various other things in various posts and still my gmail didn't work, though another account did. I deleted my gmail account for a second time, re-added it, and this time it worked. Only thing different this time was that I'm on a faster wireless network, no idea if that's why it worked.
worked for me:)
