Can't access iCloud email after update to 10.7.4

After updating to System 10.7.4, I can't access my iCloud email account on any of my devices (computer and iPhone 4S). The servers are not recognizing my email password, which is the same as my Apple ID password. I can log in to iCloud using Safari and access all of my other information (contacts, etc.), but not email.
I tried going to Keychain Access and found that my old MobileMe password was correct (now my iCloud and Apple ID password), but the "application password" associated with my email account (which is now my iCloud email account) had been switched to a long string of nonsense. I tried changing that string to my actual apple ID password, but the system changed it back to the nonsense string. What's going on here???

I've seen others having problems with a server being down, but I've had no problems yet. And all email providers have problems from time to time. I expect Apple is having minor problems with the transition from MMe to iCloud and I expect it to become stable, even though I've seen few problems.
From my experience, it's been more stable than gmail or att.net. Do what makes you comfortable and no reason not to have both in case one fails.
Unless you're a very unlucky person on a bad server, it may just be a setup issue. Try signing out of iCloud, delete iCloud accounts left in Mail. Delete any password associated with iCloud or MMe or .mac in Keychain for applications, not the website password. Verify your Keychain is OK after with Keychain First Aid.
Then sign back into iCloud and let the server set up the Mail account. The only thing you have to do is check the box to use Mail and iCloud does the account setup. If it doesn't work, then it's a server issue.
As of right now, iCloud system status reports no trouble in the US.

Snow Leopard (10.6) isn't available as a download.
You buy it at the Apple Store and it ships on a DVD. Software update brings it to 10.6.8 which includes the App Store where you can download Mavericks for free.

Can't access iCloud email??

Friend has an iPad mini 1st gen.
She was reading a long email, closed it and set it down to do something else.
Later, she unlocked her screen, touched the mail icon as usual and got an iCloud welcome screen. Thinking this was odd, she again entered her info and then got a "this account is active" message or something like that, but still can't actually access her mail.
What do do??

TS3899 Can't access my email after restore and iOS upgrade

I restored my iPad -which wiped out my email accounts - and upgraded t latestt iOS
I re-entered my email account properties but now I can't receive or send email any longer. Error states it can't access the pop server.
I've checked account settings are same as iPhone and pc which are accessing email just fine
Help to troubleshoot / fix appreciated
Thx
Rob

The easiest thing to do is to restore from backup if you have one. The backup will continue the email settings. Do you have a recent backup?

I can't access my email after changing my password

Yesterday, I changed my passwords to my yahoo and gmail accounts. After my iphone prompted me to update my phone with the new passwords, I did just that. My new password to my yahoo account was accepted, but it keeps denying my gmail password. Has anyone had these issues? I've tried restarting my phone, deleting the email account and adding it again, but was unsuccessful. Can someone help me?!!!

SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transport Protocol. It's used to sending email. This would be a server that your ISP or mail provider defines. POP or IMAP is usually the protocol used by your mail provided to receive email.

Can't Access old email after new mail comes in

computer running 10.3.9
old email in inbox can not be read after mail.app receives new email
all the messages come back with an error " The message from (sender) concerning (subject) has not been downloaded from he server. You need to take account online in order to download it."
the account is a POP account, so the emails are already on the computer
the account is not "offline" no lightning bolt next to the account
the account will work again if mail is quitted and reopened, up to the point new mail comes in
only inbox seem to be affected, as the sent folder works
have rebuilt mailbox, repaired permisions,
any help is appreciated

GX70 Can't access Catalyst control after update to MSI Win 8.1 Graphics driver

After upgrading to Win 8.1 (which went fine) I followed the links and installed the latest VGA 8.1 drivers from the MSI website.
Even though the graphics seem to switching appropriately to discreet card for games and integrated for light use, if I try to access either the Catalyst Control Centre or the Configure Switchable graphics. I get a pop-up window that says:
"AMD Catalyst control center can not be started. There are currently no settings that can be configured using AMD Catalyst Control Center"
Any ideas?

Never mind
Rolled back to Sept AMD Mobility drivers and all is well again.
FYI... I hadn't noticed but the MSI WIN 8.1 graphics drivers are beta. I don't trust them.

i have an older itouch that I am trying to get to use icloud. i have updated my pc to the newest itunes and synced the ipod, but i still can't find how to get icloud on there.

It might be too old to operate iCloud. Make sure you are using IOS 5 or IOS 5.01.Those are the on IOS's that can run iCloud. Hope this helps!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Verification mail is sent to your alternate address, make sure you have set one up.

Hi ccharat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

I can't access my email. I have joined iCloud. The phone asks for my Apple ID and Password. I put them in to be told the account already exists, but that's as far as I get. What do I do?

I can't access my email. I have joined iCloud. When I press mail I get a series of providers. I click iCloud. It asks for my Apple id and password. I provide these to be told this account already exists and I can get no further. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry everyone - I have solved my own question - needed to go through Hotmail account of course.
