My icloud mail just stopped working - northern california

All of a sudden, all of my devices are asking me for my icloud password.  None of them accept it when I put the corrent one in.
This is for my iPad, iPhone5, and PC.  Haven't bothered looking at my iMac yet.  Also, suddenly my Wifi isn't working on my iPad or iPhone 5 but works with my PC.  Somebody messed up big time.

Thanks to previous postings on this, I had to delete the existing Mac mail and created a new one using imtp instead of smtp.
Everything works fine now.

  • ICloud Mail has stopped working (iPhone, website, and desktop)

    Starting from yesterday, 1 Dec 2011, my iCloud mail no longer works. At first I thought it was a new update to the desktop SMTP and IMAP settings to my software (I use Postbox 3.0, which is based on Thunderbird), but upon further investigation, I see that mail no longer works on the iPhone or on the iCloud.com website. Mail just doesn't work.
    I suspect this has something to do with the fact that I have a legacy account ending with @mac.com. I've posted before about my inability to drop the @mac.com from my Apple ID, but that's another story.
    It's incredibly frustrating not to have access to this email account. The Calendar and Contacts are still active and accessible, but email is kaput. Has anyone else had this problem? Any help you can offer is appreciated.

    Ok, after chatting with an Apple support rep (as in using a chat room and typing back and forth like a bunch of teenage girls) I was able to fix the mail issue.
    In the end, all we did was reset the password. Can you believe that?!
    Try to change your password first on your own terms, and if that doesn't work, look for the link for a hard reset, perhaps under "Forgot My Password". Unfortunatley, I don't have the links handy. I'm really frustrated and I just wanna go home (after 3 hours).
    Let me know if this is helpful for you.

  • TS1307 Why does send mail just stop working and how do you fix it?

    Using MacBook Pro bought last Chrismas and its mail client 5.2
    In the last 2 weeks send mail has stopped working for both my wife and myself (we have different logins / accounts / email address providers)
    We have tried different wifi / isp providers
    rebuilding the mail database
    accessing preferences and changing the default ports to specified port 25 and then back again
    taking the mail accounts off-line and then back on again
    deleting the accounts and then creating just one simple one (GMail)
    no change - send mail still does not go.
    What should we do now?
    What have we done wrong to cause this to fail in the first place?
    It was working fine, but now it is not.
    It is quite worryingand a fix would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks in advance
    Steve

    Hmmm, here's the opposite problem/fix...
    Gmail send but not receive...
    Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
    1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
    2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:
    https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptch
    Is your gMail POP or IMAP?
    If IMAP...
    Is the Outgoing server smtp.gmail.com, port 25, SSL on, & Authentication = Password

  • Icloud mail suddenly stopped working

    I can no longer get any emails from icloud - everythime I try to update, I get a 'cannot get mail, connection to the server failed' message on both my iPhone & iPad. Anyone any ideas as to why?

    i too also have this problem. i never had problems with it until today. then all of a sudden icloud email doesn't work on any of my ios devices. 2 iphones and an ipad.
    i can send from the devices just fine and get the email on my gmail and any other account i send it to except to itself. so it appears only incoming mail is having a problem. i have tried resetting all settings, reset network settings, normal shut off, hard reset, changed my password to my appleID. nothing seemed to have worked. the only thing i haven't tried is to wipe the device to factory. i just don't think that would help considering the problem is happening on all my devices and seems to have occurred at the same time.
    email works fine when logging in through icloud.com so it doesn't appear to be an account issue. also checked the cloud system status website and all it says is "all services are online".
    any help out there? gmail and exchange have no issues. 

  • Photo Browser in Apple Mail Just Stopped Working

    All of a sudden the Photo Browser in Apple Mail stopped working. Hitting the button or trying to check the box in the Window does nothing. No prior problems.

    Photo Browser came back after 2 weeks. No idea why.

  • ICloud Mail has stopped working

    Had to do a PRAM reset on my iMac today because of slow restarting from sleep etc. Now getting error message in Mail that it's "unable to open iCloud" because "Mail was unable to open this mailbox on the server “p02-imap.mail.me.com”.  The server returned the error: Server hosting this mailbox is not available."
    Nothing to say whether this is permanent or temporary, and I don't know whether the issue might be related to the PRAM reset. The message is only against the Sent and Trash boxes. The account can still send, and forward mail.
    Any idea whether this will resolve itself, or what I can do to get rid of the warning triangle against Sent and Trash for iCloud mail?
    Thanks.

  • Yahoo POP Mail just stopped working in 10.6.7

    I have three Macs, two of which run 10.6.7 and one that runs 10.5.8. They are not networked together. This afternoon we had a storm and my big computer (iMac 27") was unable to retrieve my Yahoo POP mail. It has no problem retrieving mail from a BellSouth account and it can send fine on either account. So I tried the laptop that runs 10.5.8 and it downloads my Yahoo mail fine. I tried my other laptop that runs 10.6.7 and nope, it can't retrieve my Yahoo mail.
    All of the Mail settings are exactly the same. I have no idea what to try next. Suggestions?

    Just curious - has anyone taken this to Yahoo?  Not sure if this will get solved by a bunch of us discussing on an Apple board.  Yahoo's mode of operation in the past has been deny, deny, deny and then mysteriously, the problem gets solved without ever a mention of root cause and what they did to fix it.  My recommendation is to not burn wasted time by deleting accounts in Mac mail and then re-inoutting the settings.  This appears to have nothing to do with Mac mail and everything to do with Yahoo POP mail authentification.  I can get to Yahoo mail using only my browser since this does not require a handshake between Yahoo servers and my desktop MAC software.  Thus, it tells me there is a disconnect and the blame clearly lies with Yahoo since nothing on our MACs have changed and we are all experiencing the same problem.  Let's see if they get over their denial and mysteriously fix the problem while we sleep.  My bet is that things will work find in the morning and none of us will be credited back the $.50 for being down for a full day.  Too bad the Yahoo Mail Plus agreement doesn't come with an SLA.

  • Iphone 3Gs mail just stops working. Quits in the middle of reading mail.

    Has anyone had this problem: While reviewing my email in mail, it just suddenly goes back to the home page? I've had this problem several times. Usually, I just have to restore the phone or delete the account and add a new one. But eventually, it comes back. Any solutions known?

  • Why do some keyboard shortcuts just stop working?

    Since upgrading to Lion, some of my keyboard shortcuts - especially one for Mail - just stops working now and then and the only thing I can figure out to fix it is to restart the macbook.
    The main one I've had trouble with is ⌘+ enter to send a message.
    It seems (unreal, I know) that certain messages disable it in replies.
    Any other way you can think of to reset the keystroke other than restarting?
    Thanks

    Hi there
    Sounds like the project has somehow become corrupt. You may need to create a new project and copy/paste slides. You may also find that this will transfer over the issue. So it could be limited to a specific slide or even a single object on a slide.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Mail server has just stopped working. No errors in any log. Help!

    I am running OS X Server 3.0.2 on Mavericks 10.9.1. Today at around 14:30 my Mail server, which has been working fine for over a year and for nearly a month under Server 3.0.2 just stopped working! I have tried stopping and starting Mail in Server.app and via ServerAdmin but the servcies will not start... serveradmin claims that IMAP is running but that SMTP/SMTPD/Virus Scanner/SPAM filtering/Virus updating are not. I tried disabling the all the filtering services but to no avail. Even though it claims IMAP is running I cannot connect from any client...
    I have rebooted the machine but this did not help. I have looked at all the logs (system, mail, dovecot, postfix, amavis) and theer are no suspicious messages in any of them!
    I am out of ideas and my mail server is down which is very serious so if anyone has any ideas please pitch in.
    Thanks.

    My problems were:
    1.    Server.app shows the Mail service stuck in 'starting' status
    2.    serveradmin shows that IMAP is running but SMTPD, Spam filtering, Virus filtering and Virus updating were STOPPED.
    3.    No clients could connect to either IMAPS or SMTP.
    Diagnostics performed:
    All the various messafge logs (system.log, Mail.log, mail-info.log mail-err.log, amavis.log) show no abnormal messages.
    DNS is working just fine.
    In the end I did the following:
    1.    Stop all mail related services.
    2.    Make a safe copy of /Library/Server/Mail/Config
    3.    Restore the previous days version of /Library/Server/Mail/Config from backup.
    4.    Start the Mail service
    And all was working again just fine.
    I then did a file by file compare of all the configuration files between the workign and not working configurations and I found just the following two differences in postfix/main.cf:
    Not working:
    inet_interfaces = loopback-only
    smtpd_helo_required = no
    Working:
    inet_interfaces = all
    smtpd_helo_required = yes
    I don't think the second difference is so critical but the first seems to break everything (not too surprising I guess). All the other files were identical.
    So, the good news is that all is working again but the huge concern is why this change happenned, seemingly at random. My strong suspicion is that Server.app, at some point when I exited it havign made some minor change unrelated to mail decided to apply these incorrect changes to the Mail configuration. Why it would do this is beyond me. I think there are some subtle bugs in Server 3.0 (and maybe Server 2.2 as well)...

  • Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly.  It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again.  Any suggestions?

    Try to force quit the mail app
    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
    Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works

  • Yahoo mail on iPhone just stopped working

    I've been using Mail to access my yahoo mail account for years, and yesterday it just stopped working on my iphone4 and iPad. I updated to iOS 4.3 a while ago so it was fine since then. I get the typical error message that the server can't be reached. Any ideas?

    Looks like yahoo issued a fix. Mail is working again.
