Can Gmail pick up iCloud mail?

When I was using MobileMe, I had my Gmail account set up to pick up MobileMe mail. That was convenient because I could get all my mail at one location. Since migrating to iCloud, Gmail gets 'authentication errors' when trying to get mail from my iCloud email account, even though the email address and password are the same as that of my MobileMe account. I read that Pop accounts could not pick up iCloud mail, but I don't have Gmail set up as a pop client. Is it possible for me to get my iCloud mail in Gmail? If so, how do I set that up?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I don't know about GMail's ability to pick up from other accounts, but iCloud and MobileMe are not the same. The server settings are shown in this page:

and are different from MobileMe; and note that SSL is required, which wasn't the case with MobileMe.

Can not view my icloud mail messages on my phone

I am not able to look at my mail within the icloud mail. Any suggestions

Not sure what you mean by "within iCloud mail" but if you can't view your iCloud mail inside the Mail app on your phone, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Mail off, then after a few seconds turn Mail back on again.

HT201342 how can i change my icloud mail address. thanks

how can i change my icloud mail address.

You can't change the name of your @me.com or @icloud.com address, but you can set up an alias with a different name that will still deliver email to your iCloud inbox. See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

TS3988 Hiya... I can't get my iCloud mail account to activate on MacMini running OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.

Hiya... I can't get my iCloud mail account to activate on MacMini running OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Be sure the mini is connected to icloud (system preference>icloud) and that you also have mail turned on. Then be sure the mail program has the icloud account defined in it's preferences.

TS3899 I can only pick up e mails in Trash, wondering if I have been hacked. Any ideas?

I can only pick up e mails in Trash, wondering if I have been hacked. Any ideas?

is this a shared i map account? where somebody else is looking at the e mails on a diffeent device, and trashing them? Are you deleting them from a different device on the same mail account.
A hack of the pad is not the problem, but it sure sounds like somebody else is participating in your mail service.
(you might want to change your mail password)
Last choice - is you ISP sending these to trash because it thinks they are junk mail or spam?

How can I find my iCloud mail on my iPad?

Can't find my iCloud mail on my iPad.

If you have Settings > iCloud > Mail set 'on' then it should appear in the Mail app. If you are in a different email account in the Mail app then you can navigate up by tapping on the account name at the top left of the Inbox column, and you can then navigate down.

Why can't I setup iCloud mail on my MacBook Pro?

Context: I had two accounts configured in my Mail.app - an Exchange account for work, and a personal iCloud account. I've had the iCloud account since it was .me, and it has worked fine until recently. It also continues to work fine on my iPad and iPhone and on the iCloud website. So here is what I have experienced...
In August, this account stopped working on my mid-2010 MacBook Pro. I started getting errors telling me my password was not accepted by the account anymore, and no matter what I tried, I could never get the account working on that MacBook after that. I didn't really care that much at the time because I knew I was getting a new one soon, and sure enough I did. I received my MacBook Pro with Retina sometime in September.
On day one, I configured all of my account settings through iCloud and the Mail app, and everything was great. Emails coming in and going out, notes being perfectly synced... it was great. This lasted until Thursday or Friday of last week. I powered up my MacBook and saw my iCloud account was offline in Mail. When I tried to take it online, I received (and still receive when I try to set it up) this error:
"The iCloud IMAP server “p01-imap.mail.me.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages."
I know the credentials are accurate, I know my Internet is fine (and I've done this at multiple locations, home/work/Beaners), and I know I've tried every troubleshooting step I can find for this. I did the signing out of iCloud and rebooting thing, that did not work. I also cannot enable mail or notes through the iCloud preference pane. I know this because when I try, I receive the following error:
"iCloud Mail couldn't be enabled from the iCloud Preference Pane."
It then suggests for me to set it up through the Mail app.
Here we are.

I still continue to see no answer to this. I have icloud enabled and working on my iphone and ipad but it just will not work in mail on the Mac
All I ever get is the same message:
The iCloud IMAP server “p01-imap.mail.me.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.
Trust me, I've followed all the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

and absolutely NOTHING works!! What is freaking going ON??

Can I link my icloud mail address to another Apple ID?

I have an Apple ID with a related email address. I would like to delete the Apple ID but not lose the mail address, could anyone tell me How to keep the email address (an Icloud.com address) but link it to another Apple ID? Thanks.

It will delete the email account. If you want to keep the iCloud email account, you can go to Settings>iCloud and turn off everything but Mail. If you are changing iCloud accounts, you can add it back the existing email account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, signing in with the current account ID and turning Mail on. (Mail in a secondary account like this will be fetch rather than push email.)

I can't get my iCloud mail To Work

I've tried every ID and password I can think of and I still can't get my Apple Mail to send/receive emails from my iCloud Account?
What do I need to do to just get it setup correctly. I've tried following the tutorials but haven't had any success.
Any ideas?
(Also, when I try to Setup Mail With system prefs->icloud it tells me Mail can't be enabled at this time try again.
iCloud on my Mac and my iPhone is so frustrating... There are also too many user ids... very confusing!

You should only have one ID for iCloud, and perhaps one for the iTunes Store, depending on how you set it up.
To setup iCloud email you need to login with your iCloud @me.com email address and iCloud password.

Can't turn on iCloud Mail

After upgrading to Mavericks, I noticed that my Notes were not syncing to iCloud from my iMac (all other devices work fine). I disabled iCloud on my iMac completely and logged back in. After doing so, I was not able to add back my Notes, or iCloud email. This problem persisted for a day, when Notes finally set up
. Mail is still offline. Everything is working fine on all of my other devices, including my MBP running Mavericks. When trying to enable iCloud mail, I get the error: Your iCloud Mail account could not be enabled. I was getting a sililar error for Notes before it finally kicked in. I have logged out and logged back into iCloud a few times, deleting all iCloud content from my Mac in the process. Everything comes back as it should when I log back in, save for Email.
Aside from disabling and enabling iCloud, I have repaired permissions, run disk utility from the recovery partition, and booted to safe mode. No dice.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

Fixed it.
Found another post with a similar problem - don't want to take credit for someone else's solution!
this is what I did:
The problem was caused by dodgy entries in the accounts.plist file in my User Library folder. It appears that either when I upgraded to Mavericks this file gained many thousands of duplicate entries, or maybe these entries were in there before but previously the OSX/Mail combination was more tolerant. When I removed these the problem with Mail disappeared. Here’s what I did….
1> Make the user Library folder visible - in Mavericks this is a lot easier than Lion/Mountain Lion. Simply open up your user directory in Finder, select menu View>Show View Options, and select “Show Library Folder”
2> Navigate through username>Library>Mail>V2>MailData and select the Accounts.plist file. If this file is multiple megabytes (mine was 40+mb) then this is likely the cause of your problem (once sorted mine ended up at 19k in size!)
3> To be safe, make a copy of this file (I placed the copy on my desktop).
4> Using your chosen text editor (I used Text Wrangler but I’m sure TextEdit would work just fine) open the Accounts.plist in the MailData folder (not your backup copy) and take a look. If it’s the same as me you will find hundreds and hundreds of entries for the same mailbox repeated in there. Mine was an old MSN mailbox that I never use any more (I’ve seen in other forums that other Hotmail type accounts also seem to be the culprits in this context). There will likely be two lots of repeated data, one in the XML “DeliveryAccounts” <array> section, and one lot in the “MailAccounts” <array> section.
5> Delete (keeping in mind the need to select the XML sections correctly from <dict> to </dict> completely) all those extra entries that you found, keeping the mail accounts you do need, in the XML and save the file.
6> Mail should open up nice and fast again and not eat your system
7> If this did not work, and causes problems because of over eager deleting in <5> you can replace your broken Accounts.plist file with your backup and try again.

Why i can't send any icloud mail? "Missing password" pop up, how to solve it?

I can't send any mail from icloud mail. It always "missing password" although I input the corect password. And also I have some problem with input password for apple id. The pop up for inputing password apple id always show up continiusly when I open icloud mail, icloud setting, whatsapp or skype. I have done reset network and reset setting, but i didn't work.

thanks mate for your reply
When you say: "Make sure your SP allows sending e-mail"
Do you mean the provider who give me the mail service?
Because I know for sure that with MS Outlook express I can send and recive e-mail with it
Bye,
Stefano.

Does anybody have any idea of how to back up your Gmail accout to iCloud mail

I want to know how to backup your mail in Gmail to your icloud accout but no rush i just want to get a better mail experience.

Profiles are stored on your system drive, in the folder called "Documents and Settings". Open it up and look for the subfolder with your account name. That's what you want to back up.

Still can't get to iCloud mail since 9/11 11amCST. Help?

Can some one please give a realistic ETA and timezone when iCloud mail will be back up??
<Edited By Host>

Only Apple can do that and they may not even know.
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/
It's a really bad idea to post your email addresses - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.

I can't delete an iCloud Mail-Alias.

I've created an Mail-Alias on icloud.com and can't delete this Alias on icloud.com although there is a button which should delete it. There is always a failure message which tells me that the Alias can't be deleted because there is a "Server Problem". After this message Mail crashes and I need to reload it.

All,
I have just spoken to Apple Support using my Apple Care Express Lane service...
I too had the crashing issue when trying to delete a "capitalized" alias.
The lovely gentleman on the phone simply reset my iCloud Web Mail preferences from his side. This changed all my aliases to lower case, allowing me to delete them as I saw fit.
It seems to be a discrepancy with the iCloud Web Mail preferences pane and the back-end preferences file... The file stores ALL iCloud mail addresses in lower case, meaning when the Web Mail app sends a delete request for a capitalized alias, it fails - it must be case sensitive.
So, if you can get a request in to Apple Support (maybe via the Genius Desk) ask them to reset your iCloud Web Mail preferences.
I hope this helps.
And hopefully the Apple Techs will fix the preferences link!
