Recieving and sending email from mobileme/iCloud is messed up

Not all of my email downloads to my Mail app on my iMac from my iCloud account. I know because I see emails on my iPad, iPhone and through browser access. Some make it, some don't. Mail hasn't received any emails from today except one from Apple. They aren't in the Junk folder. Sometimes an unrelated email will insert itself into a thread, or the sender and subject have nothing to do with the content. When sending emails, some make it, some just disappear and are never sent. Mail worked great until I upgraded to Mountain Lion. It's a big bother to reply from my iCloud account on my browser. Help!

To change the From name on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap iCloud under Accounts, tap your iCloud account at the top of the next screen, tap Mail at the bottom of the next screen, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
To change the From name on a Mac (if you have one), go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • Failure sending email from MobileMe account on iPhone

    I cannot send emails from my mobileme account on my iPhone, the following error appears: connection to the outgoing mail server 'smtp.me.com' failed.
    I have my gmail account set up and this works fine, any ideas?
    Thanks

    One thing that might help out.
    Try a reset by holding down the home button and power button at the same time until you see an apple logo.
    If the reset does not work, one more thing to try.
    Remove the account from the iphone by going to settings > mail, contacts calendars > your MobileMe account.
    Scroll to the bottom and tap the delete account button.
    Reset the iphone by using the 2 buttons again.
    Now set the MobileMe account back up on the iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Send email from MobileMe alias, not default MM email address?

    On my iPhone I have MobileMe email. It uses the default email address/username that I signed up for .Mac/MobileMe
    Is there any was to use one of my aliases to send emails from the iPhone rather than the default email address?
    In the desktop Mail app I just changed the email address in Preferences to the alias I wanted to use. But in Preferences on the iPhone the email address is greyed out, so I can't change it.

    I have asked MobileMe live support this exact question and the response was that it is not possible at the moment but it is on the table as a possible future update.

  • Cannot send email from MobileMe account

    Apple recently pushed out an update to the MobileMe calendar. Since upgrading my account, I am unable to send emails from Firefox4 (current version) in Windows. The page sits indefinitely at a loading screen. Apple Support won't help because it isn't an issue with Safari. Anyone else have this issue?

    When using the MobileMe account preset to create the account, the SMTP server is created with 587 as the SMTP server port, which can't be changed when using the MM account preset to create the account.

  • I want to use a gmail address but receive and send emails from thunderbird. What do I do?

    I have just changed internet provider and they have suggested that I set up a gmail email address so that I can keep it just in case I change providers in the future. I have set up a gmail account which I want to appear in thunderbird rather than having to go into my gmail account everytime to get my emails. What do I need to do? I have clearly done something wrong as I am not receiving emails at all but they are going to gmail. Thank you. Julie

    In Thunderbird, '''File|New|Existing Mail Account'''
    and fill in the details of your gmail account.
    Left to itself, Thunderbird prefers to use IMAP, which means that all of your gmail messages are actually stored on the gmail servers and you are loaned a temporary copy to work with in Thunderbird, and will use gmail's servers to send your messages.
    If the idea of the messages being left on gmail's servers bothers you, watch out for the option to use POP instead, which will simply suck all your incoming mail down into Thunderbird and delete the copy on the server.
    In either case, you won't ordinarily need to visit the gmail website to work with your email, except perhaps occasionally to alter some settings.

  • Can not send email from Mac, iPhone, or iPad using mail using iCloud.

    I can send email from the icloud web page but I get error messages that the icloud outgoing server is not recongized when I send email from my iphone, ipad and Mac mail.  I can receive icloud email okay on all devices.  I have manully setup a icloud server per instructions on icloud support page for mail's outgoing server name.  It still is not recongized.

    I found a work around that works.   Got to Settings...Icloud....account......advanced....outgoing mail server.....
    Add an "other" server.
    Host Name p01-smtp.mail.me.com
    Put in your me.com email address as username and your Apple ID password
    SSL is on
    Authentication is password
    Server port 587
    This worked for me.....I will use this until the bug is fixed.     Don't make this server your primary.   Leave it in "on" status in the other category.
    Good luck

  • Can't send email from iCloud accounts on Mac

    A few hours ago I couldn't login and receive email to my icloud accounts this appears to have been fixed but I still cant send email. I've checked all passwords in preferences.
    I can login to icloud via the browser and send email Ok.
    I can send email from my iCloud accounts on my iPhone.
    But can't send mail using Sparrow or Mac Mail on the desktop.
    This all seems to have happened since I installed the latest security update.

    Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
    SSL yes
    port 587
    SMTP Authentification Yes
    Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
    User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
    I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
    Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
    After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
    I'll try and use the old passwords later.

  • Cannot send emails from mac email address

    Over the past 24hrs I am unable to send emails from my ibook and sporadically from my iphone. Please advice what the settings should be for SMTP and port. I think this might be the problem but I am unsure. I have a mac email address. I can send emails from my icloud account. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Wow, after research I can't believe what a problem BT is!???
    This post by vanessa seems to have gelped many that could not send...
    Just set up my macmail with the help of the BT guys after a year of struggling! Hopefully this could work for others for whom the emails will receive but NOT send....
    Set up your 3rd party domain names via the mail relay system and confirmed via BT. Then try these settings.....
    In your @btconnect.com email set its up using these:
    incoming mail server: pop3.btconnect.com
    username: the bt email
    password: the bt email password you supplied
    outgoing mail: we'll come to this!
    on the drop down box next to Outgong mail server (SMTP) select 'edit SMTP server list'
    press '+'  button and add these details....
    In the Account information tab:
    Description: mail.btconnect.com
    Server Name: mail.btconnect.com
    In the advanced tab:
    Select 'Use default ports'
    Authentication: Password
    username: the bt email
    password: the bt email password you supplied
    NOW The next bit, the 'second' server....
    press '+' fro a new server add these details....
    In the Account information tab:
    Description: second server (or any name you want)
    Server Name: mail.btconnect.com
    In the advanced tab:
    Select 'Use default ports'
    Authentication: NONE!
    Now on all your email addresses back in the accounts section, set the SMTP server to 'second server' (or whater you hae called it) NOT mail.btconnect.com and select Use only this server.

  • We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone.  Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc.  This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

  • Still cannot send email from icloud .me address

    thank you

    I have been having the same problems for the last two days now.  It won't let me send, but it will let me save it to my drafts folder.  I even tried opening the e-mail form my iPhone 5 and it won't let me send it there either.  The last two times i ended up copying the contents from my failed e-mail on my phone and pasting that into a new e-mail and that works.  I normally use the icloud web app to reply to e-mails when i'm at work (using win 7) and it is very frustrating.
