MobileMe email half working

Hi,
My MobileMe emails have been working perfectly until recently. In the past, when I have read an email on my computer, the red notification badge on the iPhone would automatically disappear without me having to do anything.
However, I do not know why recently even after I have read the messages on the computer, the notification badge still stays on the iPhone until I open the Mail application. I've contacted Apple support but they have been of no help. I've done everything possible to remedy this but to no avail.
Can someone please help me?
Thank you!

It has always been this way with my iPhone.
Do you have Push enabled for received messages, or is the account automatically or manually checked for new messages?
I don't have Push accesses enabled - I have automatically check for new messages every 30 minutes. If I have read new messages with the Mail.app on my Mac, the notification for new messages with the iPhone's Mail application won't be updated until the account is automatically checked for new messages, or until I open the Mail application between the automatic check for new messages.

TS4139 I had 2 MobileMe email addresses, but only went thru ICloud process with one (my main address). Now the secondary address is not working with iCloud. Did I have to go thru the process with both addresses? Can I get that address back?

I had 2 MobileMe email addresses, but only went thru iCloud process with one (my main address). Now the secondary address is not working with iCloud. Did I have to go thru the process with each address? Can I still get that secondary address to work with iCloud?

It was totally separate. I just now went back to a previous email from Apple to that secondary address which urged me to transition to iCloud. I followed the link and it prompted me thru the process and the address is now able to send/receive emails. Thanks.

Since moving to iCloud, my mobileme email works ONLY on my iPhone, but not on my PC with Outlook. I get an error message indicating the authentication is not accepted. any suggestions?

To anyone who has viewed this post and is having similar difficulties, the answer came on a different forum: I dragged & dropped the files from Mail to iCloud Drive. Opened them on my MB Air, they were saved in Templates and are now accessible across all my devices.

I have 3 macs. 2 are Lion, 1 I left Snow leopard so I can access data from my old Quicken Application that doesn't work with Lion. If I move to iCloud, will I no longer be able to access my MobileMe email on the Snow Leopard mac?

What version of word do you have? The TS3938 sounds like it's a PowerPC app- written for an old architecture that is no longer supported in Lion. If this is the case, your files are fine- you just need a newer version of word that will run in Lion in order to open them. The newest version (2011) should be readily available anywhere, and has worked fine for me ever since I switched to Lion on release day....

How can I use my old MobileMe email address if I did not migrate to icloud by the deadline?

I had a mobile me account that I did not migrate to icloud. Now when I try and set up an icloud account using the old mobileme email address, it says that address is already in use. I then try and access it but the password doesn't work and it says mobileme is closed. When I try and reset the password, it says an email has been sent to the email on file...which is an old mobileme address that I cannot access.
How can I get this email address set up in icloud?

Nice idea - I tried it but it doesn't seem to work (at least not for me).
So here are the details in case, you can spot something more I could do....
When MobileMe was live
MobileMe ID was [email protected]
AppleID (to make iTunes purchases) was [email protected]
When iCloud went live (and MM was still alive)
iCloud account was created based upon AppleID - [email protected]
iCloud would not create [email protected] as was already in use (by me)
iCloud would not merge [email protected] as iCloud does not merge
MobileMe migration to iCloud option was not taken
Deleted all data out of MobileMe account (mail, calendar, contacts, gallery)
Deleted MobileMe mail account off of all devices
When MM died
I received notification that I had not migrated my MM account
iCloud was happily working as Contacts/Calendar sharer using my AppleID of [email protected]
Weeks later on Mac running 10.8
System Preference - iCloud, already logged in with AppleID of [email protected]
Then ticked the untick Mail box
Long wait with small grey whirling cog box, stating "Loading". Eventually a BLANK message box with OK which then disappeared on a timeout.
System Preference - Mail... Re-added [email protected] (now picked up as iCloud account)
Mail - Accounts.... Re-added [email protected] BUT got message "Mail can'y connect to the account..."
So tried logging into www.icloud.com (using AppleID of [email protected] where my contacts/calendar now reside). Clicked on Mail icon and received "@me.com Address Needed" message

MobileMe emails all show as unread

Heya Guys,
Since upgrading to MobileMe emails don't seem to be functioning for me as IMAP should. When I read an email on my Mac they still are flagged as a new message on the iPhone - same thing when done the opposite way around. It all worked fine previously when using dotmac.
Cheers.

Hi,
There seems to be a lag currently with the updates on read / unread status... That's why this happens. Once one of the devices has sent their updates to the server it shows right. Hope Apple will get this fixed soon. One more point on their bug-list for MobileMe.

I've just lost access to my MobileMe emails and account when trying to change my password - I don't want to lose everything on my account . Help

I've tried to access my mobileme emails on icloud rather than the laptop, but password wasn't recognised, since changing it, I've lost all me emails from my laptop and can't recover my mobilie me account details.
I don't want to set up a different email address via icloud.
Help!
Any ideas?
I also cannot change settings on my email account..... (incoming server), so have suddenly lost all me email capabilty....

Presumably you didn;t use it very often.
June 2011:
iWeb publishing, MobileMe Gallery, and iDisk will all disappear as the company sunsets its current online service in favor of iCloud.
Other MobileMe services—including syncing of Mac Dashboard widgets, keychains, Dock items, and System Preferences—will not be part of iCloud, Apple says. Those syncing services will stop working as soon you migrate from MobileMe to iCloud. In addition, Apple says that while MobileMe members can no longer upgrade to a Family Pack or buy additional MobileMe storage, Family Pack members will be able to transition their accounts to iCloud individually, as long as it’s done before June 30, 2012.

August 2012:
As of today, visitors to MobileMe.com are no longer given the option to convert their accounts to iCloud or to retrieve old photos and files, with Apple now simply pointing users to iCloud.

Anyone having trouble with their MobileMe email after switching to iCloud?

After making the switch to iCloud, I can't access my MobileMe email at all. When I enter my information on my phone to set up the account it verifies it, then when I go to the mail app it says the password is incorrect. When I got to my Mail map on my mac it says the server rejects my password. When I go to the mobile me and iCloud websites they tell me there is an error.

Same here - I had to turn my iphone4 Off several times and finally left if off for a few minutes - that seemed to do the trick. Once I restarted it prompted me to transfer my MobileMe account to iCloud and when I clicked OK it worked like a charm.

Of all the days, I need email to work. This could cost me in a big way! When will Apple tell us.

There is no charge to use iCloud. It is free.
You may have optionally chosen to pay $40 to upgrade the storage space in your iCloud account, but that charge is not to use iCloud itself - just to upgrade the storage.
MobileMe never had any guarantees either - even at $100 a year. I guess you never read the Terms of Service you agreed to when signing up?

Why doesn't my email address work for apps

Why doesn't my email address work on my envy printer?

You don't give us anything like enough data to go on. What is your operating system? Do you have a functioning iCloud account - i.e. are you signed in in System Preferences>iCloud?
Were you originally a MobileMe subscriber? If so, did you migrate to iCloud?
Was your email still working recently? Do you get any error messages? What happens when you try to use it?
Have you been using an @icloud.com address or an @me.com address?

Push email not working since purchasing iPhone 3G

Yesterday I bought an iPhone 3G to upgrade from my old iPhone. With the old iPhone and 2.0 installed, push email worked fine, as did the calendar and contacts to the most part.
When setting my new iPhone up, I told it to set up like my old iPhone which it did, but now push mail is not working. Calendar and contacts are fine, just mail. I've tried switching things on and off, restarting the phone, etc. but all to no avail. I've even deleted the MobileMe (who ever names these things should be shot... from now on I will call it iTools!) account, and recreated it using the assitant on the iPhone, but still nada... I still have to fetch the emails.
Anyone got any ideas. Thanks.

iTools would be a stupid name too. It is not a set of tools, it is a set of features for your MOBILE phone. and it's like Microsoft Exchange whose first letters are M and E. i'm sure that ain't their reason, but it's just fine by me.
As for your problem, I've had some intermittent problems with my mobileme email being pushed as well. i'd say about 75% of the time it works (98.2% of statistics are randomly made up on the spot, including all those in this message!). i just chalk it up to growing pains and hope it fixes itself soon or i'll go back to my Exchange server which has been flawless so far.

Why doesn't outgoing email sound work?

A while back I had this same problem...the outgoing email sound didn't work. So I did this: Applications>Utilities>Audio Midi Setup>Built-in Output>Output> Changed the output to 2ch - 32bit Float (was originally: 2ch-24 bit integer). Then the sound worked fine. Today, once again, the same problem has recurred. Additionally, now when I increase or decrease the sound from the keyboard, there is no "bleeping" sound with each increase or decrease change. There is sound when I watch a video, etc. I went to Audio Midi Setup and tried changing back to 2ch-24 bit integer, but that didn't help. I did try rebooting with 2ch-32 bit Float as well as with 2ch-24bit integer...didn't help. Any suggestions?

Outgoing Email Not Working - Relaying

I have a gmail, mobileme, hotmail, and work account for email on my iphone 4 VZW. All of the incoming/outgoing emails work properly except for my outgoing work account emails. It tells me that "A Copy has been placed in your outbox. The recipient '%@' was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying."
When my 3G and wifi are on, I can't send work emails but only receive them. However, when I turn my wifi off, I'm actually able to send emails. While perusing through this site, someone recommended turning the wifi off and see what happens. Well it works but there has to be a solution that allows me to send work emails while on 3G and Wifi. The broadband provider here in NYC is Time Warner and I need some help!
I have gone into my primary server (SMTP) and typed in my user name and password and changed the port to 587 (It was default on 25) and nothing seems to happen. My host name is the same for the incoming mail server and the outgoing mail server.
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: XXX
User Name: XXX
Password: XXXX
Outgoing Mail Server
Host Name:XXX
Username: XXX
Password: XXX
Use SSL - OFF
Authentication- Password
Server Port -25
Any suggestions?!

I have provided a link below to a Microsoft Tech web site that might help you figure out why you are having trouble sending outgoing emails.

Repeated outgoing MobileMe email messages

My iPad/MobileMe email account has become "infected" with something or hacked somehow. It is sending out phoney emails to some address in Russia, maybe elsewhere. Yesterday, there were about 100 emails and the maximum was "exceeded.". I could receive but not send from my MobileMe acct. Today, it seems to have started up with the msg that they would try for 3 days. Any way to turn off attempts to resend these bad emails? I changed my MobileMe password but that hasn't helped. I did a chat with MobileMe support last night but it wasn't helpful. Even called AppleCare. Again, no help.
I don't see the outgoing emails, just the mac notification that the emails were undeliverable and they would keep trying for 3 days.
HELP!

Thanks I now managed to find the correct IMAP settings and am testing it. It appears to work normally, however last time it kept going off the air, so fingers crossed.
IMAP suffers from the same problem as POP3 access, the Yahoo mail servers.

IPhone: Can I have Exchange email and MobileMe email on the same iPhone?

I just got an iPhone 3G from my company. At work, we use Microsoft Outlook, so that's what I have on my iPhone. At home I have a Mac and I use a .Mac account that has been upgraded to MobileMe. I'd like to be able to access my personal MobileMe email on my iPhone without messing up my Exchange email. Is this possible?

Yes. On my iPhone I currently have my Exchange account via ActiveSync, as well as my MobileMe account. In addition to email, I can also see my MobileMe Home and Work calendars, along with my various Exchange calendar folders, either separately or merged (with color-coded dot to let me know which one came from which account).
