    How do I change the incoming mail server for iCloud?

    I'm having the same issue.  It says I need to enter one, but the entire box is greyed out, and I cannot select it to manually change it.  I'm so frustrated!!!

  • HT4864 How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail?  It's grayed out.

    How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail?  It's grayed out.
    I ask this because I have suddenly stopped receiving most e-mails in Mail.  I've found that my incoming mail server (p01-imap.mail.me.com) is different from what the Apple mail setup assistant recommends (mail.me.com), but I cannot change it because it is grayed out.  Any ideas?

    I'm afraid that AFAIK you've gone through the card. You could try Support, though I don't know how helpful they are likely to be.
    To contact  iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

    There is no such thing as an "SMTP incoming mail server." You set up iCloud mail by checking the box marked Mail in the iCloud preference pane. You don't need to know the addresses of the servers.

  • HT2954 CAnnot change the incoming mail server for iCloud account

    I cannot recieve mail because the imap setting is wrong, but I cannot highlight it to change.

    Hi, was it maybe setup as a MobileMe or dot Mac account in the first place?
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
              •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 993
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
              •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 587
              •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • What is the incoming mail server for icloud?

    All of a sudden I can not receive my icloud mail on my iMac.
    I get it on my iPhone & my iPad.
    I need to know what the incoming mail server setting should be.
    Can any one help?
    Thanks,

    On the Mac, open  > About this Mac, and tell us what OS X version you have.
    If it's 10.6, modify your iCloud account in Mail manually and use "imap.mail.me.com", without quotes, as your incoming mail server.
    If it's 10.7 or 10.8, close Mail, open System Preferences > iCloud, and unmark Mail. Then, mark Mail and open Mail

    What is the outgoing (SMTP) mail server for icloud?

    dominic23:
    That's just the name/description you can give the server that appears in Mail's preferences for that account.
    After selecting Edit you can put in whatever you want in the description. 
    advisor81:
    Why do you need to know the name?  If you add an iCloud account in Mail all you really need is your Apple ID and password.  The servers are automatically assigned.

    The settings are not generic for all webmail accounts, only your office IT department would know what the server address is for their outgoing email server.  You'll have to ask them about it.

  • Hi, I have private emails in IPAD2, i have chaged the incoming mail server name and saved the change.

    Hi, I have private emails in IPAD2, i have chaged the incoming mail server name and saved the change.
    but, when I back to read my old emails in inbox it's gone away, I have backed to setting and return the previous
    incoming mail name, but also I did't get the old emails. where I can find the old emails in my IPAD2 ?

    It is only the link to your emails which are 'stored' on your iPad. You will have to enter all proper email addresses to get the message associated with them, which, in practice,  means multiple accounts. If all still does not work try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release].

  • Just trying out my new mac but email won't load, error says "The mail server denied access to the account because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Try again later." A little lock is beside the email inbox

    Just trying out my new mac but email won't load, error says "The mail server denied access to the account because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Try again later." A little lock is beside the email inbox account, no password prompted and account is online and enabled... Thoughts?

    Have you tried clicking on the lock to see it it will then ask for a passwored.  Otherwise, try reblooting.

  • Incoming Mail Server w/ iCloud?

    I number of things are odd since switching over to iCloud: In Mail's account preferences:
    1)  what I have (greyed out) for Incoming Mail Server is what looks like:
    p01-imap.mail.me.com  What is the "p01-"? Should that be there? Will I have to reset up iCloud via Mail manually?
    2) TLS certificiate is marked as "none"?
    3) And authentication (Advanced tab) is NOT password, but Token? With the box checked for "Use IDLE command if server supports it"?
    4) In Outgoing Mail Server I have: "Bill's Email (iCloud)" In the list of Outgoing Servers I have: smtp.me.com:my name  and:  smtp.ma.com:my name. Are these still relevant, or can I eliminate them?  

    pvonk that has worked for some people but not for others.
    John if that doesn't work for you check out the following thread.

  • HT201342 What is the mail server for iCloud users? I lost all my emails, trouble with email account set-up.

    I lost all me emails, what is mail set-up? Mail.me.com?

    Incoming is imap.mail.me.com.  Outgoing is smtp.mail.me.com (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864).  But if you're setting up iCloud mail on OS X Lion or higher, you go to Settings>iCloud and check Mail.  This will add the account with the proper settings.
