iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch: Cannot Get Mail – The Connection to the Server Failed

FUCK APPLE , they suck. They were good till steve jobs died. Not they are a piece of crap with overpriced products. Next phone will definitely not be an iphone. fucking crap. Can't find a solution to this, tried everything except throwing the phone out the window.

I've had the same problem the last two days. What worked for me was to completely turn off the phone, let it sit a minute, then turn it back on. Poof! All new email was in the inbox.

So, I had the same problem setting up a new ip8.
Turns out I had reached the maximum number of mobile devices synchronised with exchange server - which is 10 (server had stored all previous phones and tables used)
Once I deleted all the old devices from the server it worked straight away.

how can i change advaced setting as per your given guide.

Is there any problems with yahoo mail I’m gettin an error message on my phone with yahoo when I want to open my messages? Tried all the other things just says failed to connect to the server? Any ideas

I just woke up and tried to check my emails and i'm having the same problem.

I did an upgrade on my IPad Thurs night (2/15/2018). Just wondering if that could have done something? Upgrade to 11.2.5. But, also affecting hubby’s Ipad. He didn’t do an upgrade.

SAME ISSUE! I TRIED ALL THE SOLUTIONS AND NOTHING HAS WORKED. EVEN ERASED PHONE AND BACKED UP FROM WHEN EMAIL WAS WORKING- NOT A FIX. PLEASE HELP!

Same error message here on iphone - last email update was at about 3am (pacific time). No problem accessing my email on the PC or my Samsung tablet.

I turned my phone off and on, downloaded the upgrade and even tried deleting Yahoo and adding it back. Except now I can't add it back!

Glad to see everybody is having this problem. Was thinking it's just me. Hope this gets fixed soon!! I tried to re enter the password like they said and still wouldn't work. Now I get the connection failed message. So frustrating!

Mine has been up and down all night. Reset everything and now it won’t even load yahoo on my phone

i have the same issue. Started at 7:32am and is effecting all of my yahoo accounts - 5 - and this issue is from my iPhone and my husband has the same issue, started today, from his iPad. sounds like an issue with Yahoo. I'm able to successfully access mail from hotmail and a company email account from my iPhone.

This is happening on yahoo both on my apple and android so maybe not apple but yahoo

I have this problem frequently. I switch to the Yahoo mail app when it
happens and it works. Therefore I believe the problem is with Apple, not Yahoo. If you don’t have the Yahoo app, download it from the App Store and get your email using it.

I am having the same problem on my iPhone. Although all my other email accounts work fine, yahoo keeps being disconnected under error message. My yahoo account, if I go on Safari and log in the traditional way, works ok, so I am wondering if Apple is acting any adjustments, which in any case WE should have been notified in advance about.

I have the same issue, i deleted the email account and tried to reinstall and it still isn't working. Sound like is a yahoo server issue.

thank god i'm not alone here I've been playing around with my yahoo email for hours on my iPhone and can see now that others are also having issues. I cannot receive emails with yahoo account on my iPhone, but it works ok on the computer. on my iPhone it just comes up fails to connect to the server. my other email accounts work on the iPhone so what's up YAHOO? or is it APPLE?

I have the same problem and am guessing it may be caused by Yahoo as they have been sending me emails for a few months saying that I need to update to their app. I just set up the Yahoo app on my iPhone and am able to access their email. Don't like this but it may be the only way to continue to access my 2 Yahoo mail accounts.

yahoo is gone ..we go back on pen and paper..:))

iPhone email not working.. deleted the account to try to resolve this issue but Yahoo does not give me the option to continue. Mail works fine on the pc it is only iphones.. it could also be an Apple issue - wait and see whether server issue is resolved or not!

I had trouble with ALL my Apple devices....powered down, walked away and restarted 10 minutes later...all fine now

Yay. It’s working !!!!

Its fixed

It’s working now!!

Re "Cannot Get Mail - The Connection to the Server Failed", I went through multiple websites, including this one and support.apple.com and wanted to blow my brains out when I saw the complex and potentially dangerous solutions, probably all written by 20 something techno geniuses. I did what no one suggested and what was first thing we did 35+ years ago. Turned phone off and turned it back on. Seems that is still works.

today i am getting some issue with opening yahoo mail on my phone. is there any serious issue?

I deleted my account like it said on the first one but now it wont let my add the account back. Does anyone know what to do to help it.

I am trying to set up new gmail acct on I phone and get connection to server failed cannot get mail message.

I read your blog and like it very much. Thanks for sharing.

So I got locked out of my Apple ID, which is kinda sucky and important, but what sucks even more is that the mail app also isn’t connecting to the server and therefore is not receiving the email to rest my Apple ID password. I’m probably going to have to go to Apple support about this, because I have tried some many things to rest this and honestly I am lost. So right now, I’m getting constant verification popups, I cannot download anything, and I cannot seem to fix this cluster of a problem. Can I get a rip in the chat?
