Q: Error message; cannot get mail connection to server failed

Thanks Z!,

Your advice got that hound off my trail after several weeks of dogging me.

Deleting the Account and reseting did the trick.

IPhone4 w/ 7.1.2 ios.

Hope you stay ahead of your pack pal.

I keep having similar problems: I get the sentence cnnot get mail because server connection failed or something like it.

But I CAN get my emails!!

I suggest a simple solution to those persistent and increasing annoyances from Apple: walk way and get an android. That'smwhat I'm doing as soon as I'm out of contract.

Coupled with the creepy way they changed access to genius bar appointments, this pretty much breaks camel back for me. I'm done with Apple.

I have 3 1/2 twins and they love their IPads and etc.! Fine! that will remain unchanged, but papa is walking!!

Bye Bye Apple. Who knows maybe they peruse these posts and will take notice of customer discontent....

The solution presented by tboneman51 was right on and was a very quick fix. Deleting the email account and reloading on the device as suggested by another should be an absolute last resort. Thanks for the advice tboneman51

How many times do you have ot keep doing this. Have done this three times already today alone
