Cannot receive any emails on my mac account after October 1st
Hello Everyone,
Any one can help me to tell me what should I do to receive emails on my mac account? After October first i cannot receive anything anymore. I want to buy an extra storage but after I go to my system setting I only see MobileMe instead of iCloud and this cannot allow me to do anything.
I will appreciate a lot if anyone can help me and explain me what I need to do.
Thank you
Are you an ex-MobileMe subscriber?
MobileMe subscribers who migrated to iCloud received complimentary extra storage up until September 30 2013. This has now expired. If you have less than 5GB data in iCloud then your storage simply reverts to 5GB.
However if you have more than 5GB data, Backup, Documents and Mail will stop working until you either delete sufficient data to bring you within 5GB or purchase additional storage.
For instructions on purchasing additional storage please see
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4874
Unfortunately it appears you have Snow Leopard: you don't have the iCloud preference pane, only the MobileMe one which won't do anything now. You can only purchase storage on a Lion/Mountain Lion Mac, an iOS5 or above device, or a Windows 7/8 PC. If you can't get access to one of these to sign into iCloud temporarily then you can't proceed without upgrading your Mac (see below). Your only other option is to reduce the amount of data.
For help in reducing your iCloud data please see
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847
You can go to http://icloud.com and delete as much as possible, or if you have iCloud email set up in Mail you can create a new mailbox under 'On My Mac' and drag iCloud emails to it to download them and remove them from the server.
If you want to upgrade your Mac it will have to meet the requirements:
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Hello Ashik, I received a message few days ago, telling me that my iCloud account would be downloaded to 5GB by Sept. 30. Until here everything is ok. But since that day I can´t receive any email in my iCloud account. Randomely appears a message that says that I´m using more of space than it´s allowed to use for backups, etc. When I check my info in the account settings, it says that I have 3.9 GB free, I dont understand what´s going on here, What should I do? h
Hi JavaBrat,
I'm assuming that you only use Yahoo mail on the web and not through a mail client, such as Outlook or Thunderbird?
Also, make sure all of your Yahoo emails are going directly to the Yahoo inbox and not to sub folders or junk folders. Only the inbox will be delivered to your BlackBerry.
If the above doesn't help, feel free to send me your PIN via Private Message so that I can see if there are any issues on our side with your account integration.
Thanks!

Can you please put the steps to change the rescuer email address since I cannot receive any emails
The steps on the page that you posted from should work, but you can only change your rescue email address if you remember your answers to your security questions :
- log into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com
- select the Password & Security section on the left-hand side of your account's screen
- answer the account's security questions
- you will then get a screen where you can change the address (and/or the questions)
If you can't remember your answers, and you aren't receiving the reset email to your current rescue email account (and you've checked the spam folder as well as the inbox on it, and tried clicking the reset link again) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset follow the above steps for changing your rescue email address -
I can no longer receive my emails from the icloud to my mac even though it has been doing it fine since I moved to the icloud a number of weeks now. I only get my mail if I log into icloud or I get it on my phone, it is not synching to my iMac. Can someone assist please.
Thanks
DonI tried something similar by adding a new mail account doing the apple id etc but it worked in that it would look for mail but no mail would come even though mail still goes to my phone I was loath to delete my original account just in case the new one did not work as well. So I guess I am a little stuck now.. I hope you can help me to sort it out.
Thanks -
I cant seem to receive any email from my gmail account. suggestions?
All of a sudden this morning I have lost the ability to receive gmail emails in my apple mail box . sending is also a little slow. any suggestions as to what could suddenly go amiss? thank you!
new account are created without a password, so asking for it is normal.
see http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/pssswords.html
Compare the passwords Thunderbird has for the other accounts and see if using the same one is what you need to do. -

THis morning my yahoo mail stopped updating at 8:32. I turned my iPad off and on nothing. I deleted my email and then load d it again nothing. Looking for other suggestions. But my email works just fine on my iPhone.
Thank you for the reply! However, I have already tried deleting my Yahoo account and then adding it back. All that served to do was delete everything!
I can send an email but I cannot receive any emails in my Apple/iPad mailbox using Yahoo. However, my iPhone is working just fine! I finally downloaded the Yahoo App for mail so I can at least receive my emails on my iPad. All very frustrating! -
Hi, i am having trouble with my mac mail account, i cannot send or receive any emails because of the server connection problems. Message says it could not be connected to SMTP server. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

Cannot receive/send emails via Mail on Mac using 10.6.8, keeps asking for password, very frustrating. Any ideas please? Regards
One more time, iCloud mail accounts are .me, .mac and .icloud. New ones are only .icloud.
iCloud mail is a standard Imap account that can be used with any mail client in existence. But You are talking about the ability to automatically setup an iCloud account in mail, which did not exist until 10.7.2.
You can use password or token authentification with iCloud mail (in Mail) it is your choice.
Set the account manually, set it as Imap, use imap.mail.me.com (no P number) for the incoming email and smtp.mail.me.com as the outgoing server.
The full settings (ports and security) are here. Use them and it will work, regardless of domain (mac, me and icloud addresses all use the same settings.
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
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead. SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud.
For more information on how to use this information with your email application, consult your application's documentation. -
Is anyone else having problems with the email? I am not receiving any emails, nor can I send anything out. Spent 30 minutes on online chat last night with someone most unhelpful, only to be told that the reason I'm not receiving anything is because my email is being forwarded to another address. I set my preferences to do that several years ago when this mac.com/me.com server began having so many issues, to ensure I was receiving email so I could check from my other address. The only comment I got was well, we no longer support 10.4.1 so there isn't anything we can do to help you. The status update says 33% of their customers are unable to migrate. So I'm pretty sure I'm not alone and that is a pretty large base of customers to no longer provide support to. Is anyone else who has not migrated to iCloud experiencing these email problems? Currently my iDisk works to transfer my larger files, but my email does not.
Hello, here's the fix I think...
I think they're slowly nudging people to switch, .mac & MobileMe are going away about July, may as well set it up now.
I understand .mac mail will still come through.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993

On the left side of the mail page there is an "On My Mac" header with several folders included. One of the folders, in white, is one called "recovered mail" with 843 messages in it. I don't know how this got there and am not able to delete it. I am also no longer receiving any email now. Help!
set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.
