Cannot get mail the connection to server failed help me

Contact the Apple support team at: https://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/

Might need a little more information because phones tend to have different operating systems so they have different setups as well.

If you can't access a server, you might want to delete the email from the phone and start all over.

Web based mail clients tend to have an automating server configuration when setting up whether it be iphone, Blackberry or Android these days.

If it doesn't allow for automatic setup, you might try manually using either imap or pop3 server settings for yahoo emails.

Set up Yahoo Mail on mobile device with POP or IMAP

There is not an SMTP outgoing server called 'apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com'. Try removing 'apple' from the beginning of the SMTP outgoing server name in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Yahoo Email Address > Click on email address. If that does help, re-add your Yahoo email to your iPhone and test the account again.

That should be answerable but first read the instructions they contain some amazing information. Try contacting yahoo

I have research and found the following solutions,I haven't tried them for my self yet but they seem to be solving the problem.

Go to menu/settings/application settings/message/email/email account/create account and follow the instructions below

Account Name: (your Gmail id) SMPT Server: smpt.gmail.com SMPT Port: 465 Secure Connection: SSL Incoming Server Type: POP3 POP3 server: pop.gmail.com POP3 port: 995 APOP login: no Secure connection: SSL Download limit: 500 IMAP4 incoming email: disable Retrieving option: subject only Keep on server: yes My email address: (your Gmail id) Username: (your mail id) Password: ********* POP before SMPT: no SMPT path: yes Same as POP3/IMAP4: yes User name: disabled Password: disable
If you want to set up your other accounts such as yahoo and hotmail, then just change the things given below, and leave the rest as it is.

Server settings for hotmail: Server (SMPT) - smpt.live.com SMPT Port - 25 Secure connection: SSL POP3 server: - pop3.live.com POP3 Port - 995


Server settings for yahoo: Server (SMPT) - smpt.mail.yahoo.com SMPT Port - 25 Secure Connection - SSL POP3 server - pop.mail.yahoo.com POP3 port - 110

Check your network connection. Can you visit web pages? If not, check your network cable, modem, etc.

If your connection is good, try pinging your outgoing mail server.

If the ping fails, phone whoever maintains the server, and ask them when it will be back online.

If the ping is successful, try closing, then opening your mail client. Doublecheck the settings for outgoing server, port, encryption options, username and password.
