Cannot get mail the connection to the server failed

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

The setup for your server connections is wrong.

Well, I would say that the connection to your mail server has apparently failed. Make sure that you have the server settings set correctly for your mail server. It might also be worth a try to remove the account and then re-add it again. Do you have another email account to test? Or, try accessing the Internet from your iPad. If the Internet works, it's just an issue with your mail server. Contact your email provider if none of the above fixes your problem.

The connection to the server has failed. Account '<account name>', Server: '<SMTP server name>', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure (SSL): No, Socket Error: 10051, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

To resolve this behavior, change the SMTP server for your e-mail account to use the MSN SMTP server. To do this:
1.In Outlook Express, click Accounts on the Tools menu.
2.Click the Mail tab, select the account that you want to change, and then click the Properties button.
3.Click the Servers tab.
4.Under Server Information, delete the entry that is in the Outgoing mail (SMTP) box, and then type smtp.email.msn.com.
5.Under Outgoing Mail Server, click to select the My server requires authentication check box, and then click the Settings button.
6.Under Logon Information, click Log on using.
7.In the Account name box, type you MSN Member ID (everything before the at sign (@) of you MSN e-mail address).
8.In the Password box, type your MSN account password
9.Click to select the Log on using Secure PasswordAuthentication check box.
10.Click OK to close the Outgoing Mail Server dialog box.
11.Click OK to close the <Mail Account> Properties dialog box.
12.Click Close.

It sounds like you might need to go in and re-set the IP address for you e-mail. and/or reset your e-mail account.

hi
Most common reason for 'Outlook cannot connect to SMTP server' error is the wrong configuration settings of Outlook. This happens especially in the case of newly configured email accounts.
A mis-spelled mail server name to a wrong port setting in Outlook can cause connectivity issues to the mail server and end up giving error while trying to send or receive mails.
By default, the port settings for mail related services are these, and a connection problem to these ports can lead to Outlook error:
SMTP - port 25 / 587 POP3 - port 110 IMAP - port 143 Secure SMTP (SSMTP) - port 465 IMAP4 over SSL (IMAPS) - port 993 Secure POP3 (SSL-POP) - port 995 There are also chances that some web masters may have duplicate profiles in Outlook, which will have an old mail server configured in it, and therefore would be trying to connect to the wrong mail server.

Yahoo mail problem? Read this page I wrote earlier, you may be able to get in, if not, change to gmail, its much better.

According to Yahoo's page that is not the correct server.

Whenever a mail server is unable to process an e-mail request, the e-mail fails and the software displays one of the following error messages: Can't connect to email server Progress bar stuck at 0% To resolve this problem go to http://www.kodak.com/go/itg
