Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again.

Exactly the same thing has happened to me, but 1 day earlier. (19th Dec 2012)

iPad 3rd gen won't get e-mail from IMAP account, iPhone 4S works fine using the same settings, as does my MacBookPro.

I have delete the account twice, performed a hard reset etc, yet the iPad still cannot download new mail. It tries, and I see the scrolling bar, but nothing arrives, and I see the "check your mail settings" box. Other e-mail accounts (e.g. .mac) work fine.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks

Who is your mail account with? I ask this because Yahoo has had a lot of issues lately with mobile devices accessing their mail. Yahoo is rolling out their 'new and improved' mail and there is often outages while it happens.

Hi, my IMAP account is with Heart Internet, so unlikely to be affected by the Yahoo issue, I guess.

Thanks

I have now deleted my e-mail account for the fourth time, and when I re-created it, it still pulled down all e-mail up to midday last Wed (19th Dec), but not any mail sent after that time.

The mail account is still live and working on all my other devices, and other e-mail accounts are working on my iPad.

Why would it suddenly stop working?

What happened at midday(GMT) on Wednesday that might have triggered this glitch?

Thanks

I am also experiencing the same problem with my yahoo email account where I can use my phone to access new emails but cannot update any on my ipad. Any ideas. I.ve tried deleting the account 4 times and also done a hard reset several times.

I sure would like to offer helpful suggestions, but I haven't had any email for two weeks. IPad 2 IOS 8.1.2 (I think -- so many updates so little of any use)

If it is Yahoo, and heaven knows I could believe that quite easily, why does my mail get to MacBook and PC with Win7, but not to my iPad 2?

Because they use different protocols. Yahoo likely changed something in how their mail is handled on some of their servers. That something makes it incompatible with the Apple mail app. We all konw heck will freeze before a corporation admits they made a mistake, so whatever fixes there are seem to be quietly rolled out - which is why some people have the issue resolve while others don't. Unfortunately all users can do is wait until Yahoo fixes the server their mail is on.

Try to acess your mail via yahoo's app or safari (that'd be my personal choice, I wouldn't want to reward them with higher app usage numbers for a situation they created)

I Have had this problem since late December. I did nothing to cause this. It still will not update now in spite of trying all the suggested fixes on the Internet.
