the new iOS 8.3 - Mail Connection Issues

Downgrade. I'm looking for the other apps to replace apple mail

Try

Microsoft Outlook by Microsoft Corporation

Yeah, a "From the Dark-side" app, but very clean, works, has a neat "remail" this message on a schedule feature. You can use it with Yahoo email, et al.. Micro$$oft's Outlook email from the web isn't bad, this was a shocker, oddly they went with a less is more design. Something that can not be said of Yahoo email, bloated Google email, when used with a browse.

but the Outlook app doesnt have push notifications 😐

II've gotten it working well enough. I heard Apple is releasing another update so I'll wait before doing any different mail arrangements. Thanks!

WHAT update?

I Also turned off all my emails, restarted my phone, then one by one turned them back on and went to the mail box. Through this process, I found that it was actually my GMail account giving me the error message.

I was having the same issue after installing 8.3. I have .me, .icloud, .Hotmail, and .gmail accounts set up in an iPhone 6. If you tried to load mail using all inboxes, I would always get the error pop up. If I fetched mail to the accounts one at a time, 3 accounts worked; Hotmail didn't. It seems that the 8.3 update process somehow clobbered the pw to my Hotmail account. I deleted then reinstalled the Hotmail account and all is well.

I have same problem can send but can't receive. Cannot get into settings to see what Apple has done.

having the the same issues here. Every once in a while I can receive my email, but it will not send on any of my accounts.

We had this issue with an iPhone 6.

To fix this, set the date and time in general setting to set automatically.

Then go to your wifi network and replace the umber in the DNS field (ours had 75.75.75.75.75 etc) to 8.8.8.8

This repaired the lost connection to mail and the App store.

Good Luck.

Having same issue iPhone 4s and iPad 2 after latest update. Have turned everything off, powered off and back on, deleted email account and reloaded. Nothing working. After reloading email account cannot retrieve previous emails. I know I have older devices but still have had no issues until yesterday and after iOS update

I tried a bunch of stuff, more of my time down a time sink, thanks Apple, the problem kept coming back.

My latest effort was to delete the Yahoo Email account from the iPad and use "Other" to add it back and not the built in "Yahoo" add. So far so go, knock on wood.

Yahoo has always been "odd" with its email, IMAP in particular, odd my problem was with SMTP, my old iPad first edition doesn't have a problem, so it has to the last Apple update and Apple's problem.

Not to worry, Apple will release an IOS update in a year or so, unless they need to add iCloud support somewhere or a service that might supply extra $$$ from some limited free service, cough.

My wife's Samsung android is looking better and better, you can use it for the purpose it was purchase for, Apple.

Hey Guys, I came here to share my experience I was having major issues adding my exchange e-mail through the native mail app server

I was getting the 'Cannot Get Mail - the connection to the server failed.'

What I realized once signing into the Outlook WebMail app for my exchange e-mail is it allows a total of THREE mobile connections. Meaning if you had phones previously or have added multiple backups what not, it creates a 'new connection'.

After three connections, it blocks you from pulling the e-mail from the server. Meaning, you can add and it shows successful but won't pull the e-mail.

What I did was delete all my mobile phone connections through the Webmail app ----> Signed out ----> Re-added the e-mail via my iPhone.

To access the mobile connections through Outlook WebMail:

Login > Options > Phone > Mobile Phones

Again, this is only for Exchange e-mails. This worked for me. Hopefully, it helps someone out.

Deleted my Outlook.com accounts and it works fine now. No more 'Cannnot Get Mail' popups. Yet more junk from Microsoft that doesn't work correctly. They are getting almost as bad as Samsung.
