Why is my iphone not receiving any emails

Repeating the post above yours:


My car doesn’t go. Why doesn’t it? In other words, there are dozens of reasons your iPhone may not be working for email. We need to get additional information to narrow it down, or otherwise post dozens of possible reasons, which is time consuming and not particularly useful.


First, did it ever work, then stop working? Or did it never work?


What type of mail account or accounts, if you have more than one (such as iCloud, gmail, MS Exchange, MS Outlook, Yahoo, AOL, etc)


Have you changed your email password recently?


Once we get past these we can narrow down the troubleshooting process.

Did you delete the mail app, and want to reinstall it? To do that open the App Store, search for Mail, chose the one from Apple and tap the download icon.

Hi Lawrence

Thanks for advice. I deleted gmail account, added back in with new password but next screen is asking for info I don't have.

Incoming Mail Server

Host Name mail.example.com

User Name Required

Password •••••••• (this is the correct amount of characters for my password)


Outgoing Mail Server

Host Name smtp.example.com

User Name Optional

Password Optional


I don't know what the Host Name is for Incoming and Outgoing mail servers. Is User Name the first part of my email address before @gmail.com?

Thanks for your help.

Peggy
