ICloud mail not working. I can send but cannot receive. Is the system down?

iCloud mail not working. I can send but cannot receive. Is the system down?

Same here. I can send mails from iCloud.com Webmail, but cannot receive.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of
its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address
failed:
"[email protected]":
SMTP error from remote server after RCPT command:
host: mx1.icloud.com.akadns.net
5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: [email protected]
On iOS 6 device I can't receive, neither send mails.

However, if I change to @me.com, everything works fine.

  • I can send, but cannot receive E-Mail, suddenly.

    I am a new convert to the entire world of Apple, aside from a longtime Safari proponent and user. A month and a half ago, I purchased a MacBook Pro 15" (you all know the specs, I went with 512 g flash drive upgrade) and am extremely happy with it. I have Windows 7 x64 installed on a 200g partition, solely so I can continue to use a few SONY apps that I need for video and audio editing for my business. These apps are NOT available for Apple machines and are essential to my photo restoration and video transfer and editing business. Ok, that's the environment.
    Yesterday, as I normally do, I woke up, coffee, check on all of my animals, Mac starts with scheduled start-up at 7:20am as per usual while I am busy with my 'wake up' duties. After the wife was off to work and I was ready to check E-Mails and check for any correspondence from clients, I open 'mail,' (I have it set to start at scheduled start-up) and notice there is no E-Mail in my two pop accounts. I have a Gmail account and the iCloud account. 'This is odd.' I invoke 'receive' a couple times. Nothing. I turn on my phone (Blackberry) and it starts making noise as it normally does when E-Mail comes in. This is weird. I reboot my lovely Mac. No joy. No E-Mail. So I start troubleshooting. I figure out that I can send from all four accounts but cannot receive on any of them.
    I reboot to the Windows partition. I open Live Mail. It fills up on my two pop accounts. Even more weirder. I have the Gmail account on this partition also, but it rarely receives E-Mail so it can wait. No iCloud on the Windows side. We all understand that.
    On the Apple side, I removed all accounts from mail and re-established them with no resulting solution being apparent.
    I have made no changes at my account on the server (webhero.com) so I am baffled. I looked for solutions here, but have found nothing, which is why this is being written.
    Because I have seen no solutions, I consider that something unique has occurred to my computer that is not a new issue with many other Mac users.
    My system is updated to all recent standards so there isn't much more to post
    Any ideas, anyone?
    Thanks for looking,
    Kelly J.

    Personally I will never leave Windows behind. Mac just doesn't cut it for me. For one it is to much of a closed system and the door is closing even more as I type this. MS isn't that much better with the release of Win 8 (which I will not be using at all except for Tech supporting others).
    Apple does not like to give the user options and if they do you have to know the command line to implement them, in some cases. In others there simply is no user choice, like sounds for events.
    With the advent of the newer Mac's with Non upgradeability, IE the retina models and the newest iMacs, this is certainly not the systems for me.
    The OS? Well IMHO OS X isn't any better then Windows and in most case I like Windows better. IMHO Windows is an easier system to use. Not sure about Win 8.
    Been running Windows for 20+ years and I can count on one hand the number of BSODs I've had. But then I run Clean system and the desktops I built myself. Notebooks are mostly Dell Business line models and my one MBP.
    BSODs happen from bad hardware or drivers for that hardware. OS X is slightly better but Apple is not immune from writing or using bad drivers and the hardware is no better built then most any Windows PC. It just comes in a different case.
    Apple Lived on the "It Just works" saying for a long time. That is not the case today, as you may see from all the posts in all the Apple hardware forums.
    I'm Fixento get back to work, Y'all. Ga day.

  • MS Outlook 2011 - can send but cannot receive

    I converted from a PC to a Mac tonight.  I used MS Outlook as my mail client.  Conversion went very smootly and files all moved.  Set up account as per ISP instructions (Time Warner Cable).  I can send email but cannot receive.  Since the emails are on the server TWC says it is not their problem.  Has anybody else had this?  Any ideas?

    Have you contacted Microsoft since it's their software? 

  • Can Send but CANNOT Receive mail

    Ok, so I tried fixing this by myself but that obviously hasn't worked. I recently updated to Leopard, had a problem sending mail which I fixed, everything was running smoothly, and now all of a sudden I just don't receive mail anymore. It's been about a week, I just don't get the mail, the account won't synchronise with the server, etc., There are no error messages and it's as if everything worked fine except that I don't receive my mail.

    PS: the incoming mail server is correct.

    Hello M:
    Check the help menu when mail is open to be sure you followed all of those suggestions.
    Here are some troubleshooting tips I got from the knowledge base:
    +Top 10 troubleshooting tips+
    +1) Use the Connection Doctor+
    +If you're using Mac OS X 10.4 or later, have the Connection Doctor make a house call. In Mail, choose Connection Doctor from the Window menu to have it check your server connections. If it finds any trouble, it'll display a red Status indicator next to the problematic account and provide some information and advice in the Details column. If you see a red indicator, follow the doctor's advice to try and fix the issue.+
    +2) Make Sure That You're Connected to the Internet+
    +To send and receive email, your Mac must be connected to the Internet. To verify whether your connection is working, open your web browser and visit any website. If your Internet connection doesn't appear to be working, see our Internet Quick Assist to get your connection back up and running.+
    +3) Ask for Permission if You're Being Denied+
    +If a sheet appears that says you need permission when you try to send email, your computer's administrator has restricted email access for your account. To request permission from your administrator to send the message, click Ask Permission in the dialog.+
    +4) Make Sure That You're Not Being Blocked by a Firewall+
    +If you or a network administrator has a firewall blocking email traffic on port 25, 465, or 587, you may not be able to send email. If you've installed firewall software separately from Mac OS X, try temporarily disabling it to see if you can send email. There may also be firewall software built into a shared Internet router or administered by your ISP or network administrator; contact the appropriate person to find out if a firewall exists.+
    +5) Check Your Email Settings+
    +Open Mail preferences (from the Mail menu, choose Preferences), click Accounts, and verify the settings for your account in question. If you can't send email, make sure that you're using your ISP's SMTP server, or “smtp.mac.com” if you have a .Mac account, for the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) setting. If you can't receive email, make sure that you're using your ISP's incoming mail server, or “mail.mac.com” if you have a .Mac account, for the Incoming Mail Server setting. Check with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or network administrator if you're unsure about what settings to use—especially if you've changed some Advanced options in Mail preferences, such as SSL or authentication to access an account remotely.+
    +6) Send Yourself an Email+
    +If you can send email from your account but you're not sure whether or not you're able to get any, send yourself an email. Your message will go out through your outgoing mail server and back in through your incoming mail server. After sending yourself a test email, wait a minute or so for the servers to send the data, then click Get Mail in Mail (wait a little longer if you still haven't gotten it yet). If you don't get your own email after waiting about 15 minutes, try these other tips.+
    +7) Find Out if Your Mail Servers Can Be Reached+
    +Open Network Utility (/Applications/Utilities) and click the Ping tab. Ping is a utility that lets you test whether a server is running or not and if it can be reached from your computer. If you can't send email, type the outgoing server address in the top field (it'll look something like smtp.company.com). If you're not able to receive email, type the incoming server address in the top field (it'll look something like mail.company.com). Then click the Ping button. If you see 10 repeating lines, your computer can successfully reach the server. If you see a message that says something like “unknown host,” the server is either down or unreachable. Wait a while and then try sending or getting email again. (Please note that this test does not work with .Mac accounts.)+
    +8) Check If Your Account is Using the Email Servers+
    +To check if all servers are in use by your accounts, open Mail preferences, click Accounts, then click Account Information. From the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) pop-up menu, choose Edit Server List to display a list of servers. If you see an entry in the “In Use By Account” column for a server, that server is in use. If you have any servers listed that don't have an entry in this column, select the server, click Remove Server, and then click Done. If you see that your affected account isn't “In Use,” go back to step 5 to reset your server settings.+
    +9) Make Sure That Your Account Isn't Offline+
    +If Mail can't connect to and access your account's incoming server when it checks for messages, it will take your account “offline.” Take a look at your Inbox icon. If it appears dimmed or you see an exclamation point or tilde-looking icon (~) next to it or one of your account names (if you have more than one account), try taking it back online. Click the icon to the right of the affected account's name or select the account and choose Mailbox > Online Status > Take “account name” Online.+
    +10) Reset Your Email Account+
    +Try deleting your email account from Mail and then setting the account back up again. Before you do this, save all messages that you want to keep in a different mailbox on your Mac (to create a new Mailbox, choose New Mailbox from the Mailbox menu, choose On My Mac from the Location pop-up menu, type a name for your mailbox, click OK, and then drag the messages that you want to keep to this new mailbox). To delete the account, choose Preferences from the Mail menu, then click Accounts. Make note of the information for the account you want to reset, then select the account in the Accounts list and click the remove button. To recreate your account, click the add button and reenter the information for your account. You can then drag all of your messages from the alternate mailbox back into your newly recreated account.+

  • I've switched to galaxy note 3 and I cannot receive text messages from iphones. I can send but cannot receive. Apple wants to charge me to get help.  Can anyone help?

    Help

    Ok, all of your posts with "solutions" to the problem are great but many are incorrect and pointlessly excessive. All you need to do is simply follow these steps and there will, usually, be no actual NEED to contact AppleCare tech support:
    1. Turn off iMessages on your mobile device that you are getting rid of.
    2. (For some situations) Step 1, normally, will deactivate your number from the messaging database that Apple keeps. But, you have to actually TURN OFF iMessages. Otherwise, if you no longer have the iPhone or other Apple mobile device THEN call AppleCare tech support and let them know that you simply need them to De-Register the phone number associated with your Facetime and iMessages accounts.
         ***There is no need to reference the article TS5185 as they will simply do what you ask them to do so long as your word it right and don't make them have to probe and fish for more details. I repeat...."De-Register your phone number associated with your Facetime and iMessages"
    3. Have your friends and family members that are using iPhones delete any and ALL previous conversation threads that they have from texting/messaging you saved on their iPhones.
         ***This is important because Messages remember where they originated and will always attempt to go back there even if you are trying to get texts to show on a new Apple device, like an iPad.
    4. If you are attempting to get Messages on two Apple mobile device then follow steps 1-3 and then verify that all of your mobile devices have the EXACT same Send & Recieve settings. Once that has been established you can then initiate a conversation on either mobile device and you will be able to see the conversation take place on both devices.

  • Exchange account - can send but cannot receive emails

    I am unable to receive work e-mails but I can sent them.  When I try to sync my inbox it states that unable to connect to server.  However, this cannot be since i am able to send through the same server?   Any ideas?

    Send and receive server parameters aren't the same (ports used, protocols,...) therefore you may want to check your incoming mail parameters are properly set.

  • I can send but cannot receive images via text

    how can i receive images via text?

    Hello cschock,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Are you referring to not being able to receive images sent to you over iMessage?  If not, receiving MMS requires a cellular connection, and does not function over just Wi-Fi.  Please follow the instructions in the article below to resolve the issue.

  • ICloud mail not working on iPhone after updating password

    Hi folks,
    I have an iPhone 4 with last iOS 5.0.1 with an iCloud account working perfectly.
    The only thing that doesn't works is the mail.
    My account was a MobileMe account.
    I upgraded to iCloud, I had some problems with the transiction and I discovered the problem was the password (only lower case letters, no numbers) and so I changed my mobileme/iCloud password with the new password requirements.
    Now on iPhone iCloud mail can't receive emails.
    I have the same account configured on my MacBook Pro with Lion and iCloud mail is working, BUT with the old password (the lower case one)!
    On the iPhone I CAN'T change only the mail password.
    Could you help me ?

    Ok, I found the solution
    I have to CHANGE AGAIN my iCloud password (aka Apple ID password).
    Now everything is working.
    Thanks for watching!

  • ICloud mail not working on desktop but OK on iCloud website

    Loaded OS Lion on iMac yesterday and transferred mail from MobileMe to iCloud.  Spent hours trying to get mail working on desktop but finally succeeded.  Shutting down overnight caused mail to quit working again.  However, if I go to iCloud website the mail works OK.  I know others have had mail problems with Lion, can anyone advise what to do?  I've tried just about everything from Apple support.

    Thank you Paul.  I called Apple Support and Tech helped me with resetting account and for now it's working again.  Aloha from Maui, Hawaii

  • ICloud mail not working, lost all mail.

    hello,
    i have this new problem which i can not figure out so i am asking for your help.
    the situation is as follows:
    i own a .mac account since day 1. and moved to icloud. so did my wife. all worked fine till i decided to update her iphone to ios6 i think.
    today she send me an email which i received on my ipad. the notification on my ipad said an email was received from my name. checked the email and the email was my wifes email, but with my name.
    went to iclouds on ther prefs pane and saw that it was under my name but i could not change it.
    went to apple id and change the name under her apple id to her name and everything changed under hers.
    but mail app got all srewed up.
    i have lost all her emails and the only thing i get is an inbox and the sent folder.
    her web mail and iphone have all folders and emails so they are not lost from the server.
    i can not seem to be able to connect the macbook to the icloud server.
    i log out from her apple id, and icloud. relog but mail will not sync with icloud and give an error in the pref pane window of icloud. it sais that icloud would not be enabled and go to mail and add the account from there.
    i try to do it and when i go to add the account the account is already there. the icon on the left in the accounts list shows the icloud icon with mobile me title and icloud imap description.
    the details in the account are correct and already filled in and locked. the server is p01-imap.mail.me.com
    i send an email from my account to my wifes email. her iphone received the email from my name to my name (yes my name) but under her email address since she received it. on the macbook the email never arrived.
    if i delete the account in the mail app i will get all fields locked but only the alias pull down menu with her email address with the @mac, @ me and @icloud alias.
    enabling and disabling the acount will not add an icon to the left. enabling will fill in the locked fields. but do not really make mail work.
    quiting mail and reopoening will create an icloud account like before....all in a loop and it gts me really mad!
    i can not describe the problem any better since i do not understand what is going on.
    macbook is on lion.
    pleasseeeeee heeeellllpppp
    or to put things on simpler note, mail will not enable/sync with iclouds.

    I have the same problem with my iPhone 5 iOS 6. Message reads "The latest backup could not be completed." I have tried about 10 times, both auto and manual syncs. The progress bar progresses about 1%, stays there for about 5-10 minutes then the message appears. To rule out the possibility of a wireless signal problem, I did an iCloud backup on my wife's iPad (iOS 5.1.1) and my iPad II (iOS 6) and had no problems. I can't understand why my iPhone 5 has the problem and not my other devices. Apple phone support was unable to resolve this and the support person said he has not heard of this problem and would contact the engineering department.

  • ICloud mail not working in Mavericks

    I can't add an iCloud mail address - it won't check it in preferences.  What should I do?

    Hi. I've already tried reinstalling it. But still find there's more bugs in it than what it's worth. I have to try to work out what the benefits of the update were and so I am unable to find a single benefit. I use FileMaker Pro which is an apple program. Since updating to mavericks I had to purchase the updated version of FileMaker which is the only one that works with mavericks. Having done that I have had problems with fonts not displaying. Contacted the very helpful FileMaker support who were also baffled but it was a known problem. The response that came back from apple - install Microsoft office as the fonts that that instals works with FileMaker. What a crazy response, unfortunately they didn't work even. I have been an apple user for almost 30 years and I can't remember a single OS update that has caused me so many problems as mavericks. No wonder it was free

  • ICloud /Mail not working again!

    Having problems with iCloud again.
    Using my Mac and also iPhone and kept prompting me for the password. Put in the correct password & after several attmepts it rejected it and told me I had to reset the password, which I did.
    The new one has been accepted, but whilst I can access iCloud via the Safari Browser I can't get into Mail as it keeps coming up with an error message.
    Also mail on my Mac, iPhone and iPad not working. Anyone else having the same problem, looks like this one keeps happening with Apple every few months!

    Right I have just tried a couple of things and I have just been able to pick up email.
    In Thunderbird I have always had under:
    >Tools >Account
    Select 'server settings'
    my full email address for account
    e.g. [email protected]
    for my old mac account.
    I just went and removed the @mac.com bit and I can now connect and download email.
    Now I have not changed anything on my laptop/ Thunderbird and I don't allow automatica updates to Thunderbird etc so something must have changed at Apples end.
    I have also made this change to my other apple id which is only an icloud account as it is a new one and this works too.
    So come on Apple something must have changed.
    The set-up instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4864
    tell people to use their @me.com address for the username.
    I have never used this so something must have changed this month. I have just gone back and edited one of my accounts again and put in the @me.com address for user name and get the same login error.
    Crikey I don't mind if things going wrong, its only flipping email, but don't you monitor the discussion boards a bit as I think a few people are having an issue and it does waste a lot of peoples time.
    Cheers Cel
