HT4597 icloud transfer re: mail problem

I moved to the cloud, but imac still seems to be using mobileme and has stopped importing my emails. I can send mail, but not receive incoming mail. My mail preferences indicate that there has been a transfer to icloud.  I have to go to icloud website to get mail.  what do I need to do to get icould mail via my imac mail application?

As it turns out, I unwittingly created this problem (most probably) by fixing permissions off the DW cd. I wrongly assumed (failed to read ALL the documentation) that this recently purchased "updated" DW cd was COMPLETELY Leopard compatible, BUT, as it turns out, ONLY rebuilding the directory was! So, by running fixing permissions off the DW cd, I was unknowingly fixing them with Tiger! Oy vey!
In the end, I had to create another admin account because of a seriously whacked Finder. All seems fine at the moment. Knock on wood.

  • ICloud Password in Mail Problem

    Why does mail keep asking the following:
    Enter password for account iCloud.
    The iCloud IMAP server “p07-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user.
    What is this all about, why and how can it be solved?
    thanks

    The funny thing is that it seems to happen most often on my Mac in mail than on my iPhone or iPad. I have had to shut down and restart my computer and then it works but eventually it happens again. This seemed to start with iCloud.I have no problem with the mail on iCloud.com.
    Any possible suggestions?

  • HT5622 iCloud, old e-mail problem?!

    I changed my e-mail on Apple ID a while ago and everything was fine until I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.
    It keeps asking for my old e-mail (which i permanently deleted) for iCloud and it doesn't accept the current password, ofcourse.
    How can I remove that account from my phone when it keeps asking for password to an e-mail that doesn't exist?
    I tried deleting it from my phone but ended up having all of my contacts and some photos erased
    Please HELP!

    What did you upgrade to mt lion from?  Was your email setup manually at one point?  If it was, remove the account, and then make sure you're signed into the icloud preferences in system preferences and mail is checked off.  That will automatically setup your email in the mail.app.
    Just make sure your mail shows up properly at icloud.com before removing the account from the mail.app, first.

  • Problem with iCloud and E-mail set-up

    I have been trying to set-up an iCloud e-mail account but keep getting the messages that it cannot set-up the account.
    Problems from the iCloud control provide the message that I should use the e-mail preferences to set-up the account, the e-mail preferences provides the message that I should set-up iCloud account. The iCloud account has been set-up and the apple ID works well with other applications.
    Not sure what the issue is?

    Welcome to the Apple Community SupportLesley9119.
    Go to system preferences > iCloud and uncheck Mail. Go to the Mail application and check that the account has disappeared, if not delete it. Go back to system preferences > iCloud and check mail.

  • Many syncing and e-mail problems.

    Hi folks, lots of syncing and e-mail problems here:
    Syncing: My phone won't sync iCal (it tells me my phone is disconnected), my safari bookmarks or my email accounts. I've been through the threads here, tried resetting iSync, tried deleting calendars and resetting to 10 days instead of 30 -- still no luck. For e-mail, initially iTunes saw the e-mail accounts but did not sync theml. I tried the one-time advance settings and now it's not even seeing the accounts and still not syncing them. and for Safari, no luck with the bookmarks at all even thought the check-box is checked.
    Also, the iPhone won't receive e-mail from any of my POP accounts, even the one I set by hand (because none of the settings synced.) I used the same settings that I have on my desktop, but no luck. I use RoadRunner, so I know I can't send off it. But I went to the genius bar today and they told me to just leave the SMTP server field blank and I should be able to receive, but all I get on wi-fi and edge is a message that says, "Cannot Get Mail, the connection to the server "pop-xxxxxx etc" failed." even on my home netowrk, with five bars, it can't seem to connect. (btw, it does seem to be working properly on my .Mac account, but I don't use that account for most of my correspondence.)
    As far as the sync problems, the genius bar told me to reinstall iTunes, which I did with the new update that just came out this evening. Still no luck.
    any thoughts? bum phone? some setting I'm not catching? any help would be appreciated.

    You will find the iPhone will freak out over any kind of perceived data corruption. Calendars seem to the worst for this (windows or mac)
    Test in a new user and try sending info in each direction. If it works - then your phone works fine.
    Other users have reported having to basically copy the contents of their calendars into a sticky or text edit window. delete the calendars and create brand new ones. they then just transfer the data back.

  • ICloud with Outlook 2007 problems

    The latest update for iCloud would appear to cause a problem with sending email using Outlook 2007 on a PC. I use iCloud to sync my Calendars and Contacts in Outlook. But Outlook will no longer date messages sent to its Outbox, and therefore won't send them out. Disabling the i Cloud Add-in resolves the mail problem - but then I can't sync anymore.
    Any suggestions?

    You need to leave more information like what is the ios5 device. I following instructions accidently set up two iclouds and then I couldn't get the contacts in. My mobileme email isn't going to work anymore because I set up an icloud using my store apple ID. Apparently the term apple ID can refer to any apple product ID that you make up not the one you use in the store. So you need to leave more infor on what is your problem to figure out how to help.

  • Why is icloud blocking my mails containings special words?

    I figured out, that icloud blocks any mails which I will recieve or send via my @me.com account. If I send those mails via another mailaccount it works, if my mail-partner sends the same mail to the other mailaccount it works, too.
    I tried a long time to figure out, which words in the mail (sent via icloud) will cause the problem. Now I know that an I m confused.
    Is there a "blacklist / whitlist" at icloud?
    This problem happens undepending of which unit I m using (macbook / ipad or iphone). Therefore the filter has to be on icloud somewhere...
    Thanks in advance for any ideas !

    Hi overnunft!
    I have an article that may be helpful for you in addressing this issue and searching for a resolution:
    iCloud: Identifying and filtering spam
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4899
    Specifically, it seems like this section is going to be the most relevant to your question:
    Troubleshooting false-positives
    Due to the complexity of accurately detecting and filtering out spam, on rare occasions a legitimate email from a friendly source may be blocked from reaching your Inbox. This is called a false-positive. If you feel that a legitimate email message was inadvertently filtered, you may want to ask your friend to send a follow up email to verify the issue exists before contacting support. If you notice that multiple email messages are being delayed, bounced, or not delivered, please contact iCloud Support directly.
    Also make sure to check your Junk folder for email messages that were incorrectly marked as spam. To check your Junk folder from iCloud.com, choose the Mail application and click the Junk folder in the sidebar.
    Note: Email messages in the Junk folder are automatically deleted after 30 days.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • I want to use iCloud as my mail instead of Hotmail or Outlook, but ...

    I want to use iCloud as my mail instead of Hotmail or Outlook, but it's not working out, because I only get an error message that it is a problem with activating my e-mail.

    If by "merge accounts" you mean merge iTunes accounts (using your Apple ID), then the answer is no.  If you bought songs, apps, etc. using both accounts over time, then your are stuck.  You need to choose one account for your iTunes.

  • Is there a way to transfer my mail account settings to my iPhone

    Is there a way to transfer my mail account settings to my iPhone - via Itunes or icloud?
    I use apple mail Version 7.2 (1874)

    I know how to do it on the phone. Just wondering if there's another easier way to do this. Reasoning: we change our password for our emails frequently.

  • Mac cannot connect to iCloud because of a problem with my iCloud account

    I keep getting the following message when opening my email....mac cannot connect to iCloud because of a problem with my iCloud account. 

    I have another kind of message. I am connected perfectly to iCloud but receive this every hour or so : "This Mac cannot connect to iCloud due to a problem with "address mail" of said account.
    But :
    1. I AM connected
    2. When I open i Cloud prefs it asks me to type my iCloud details (email address and password), then it says iCloud is in fac ALREADY open.
    3. When reading troubleshoot doc Carolyne linked to, I read this :
    Close and reopen iCloud preferences before attempting to sign in to iCloud again.
    If that does not resolve the issue, check your email folder and Junk folder for a verification email sent from Apple.
    If there is no verification email in your email folder or Junk folder, click the Resend Verification Email button in iCloud preferences.
    My comments :
    - How can I close iCloud ? Document doesn't say. By clicking the "—" sign in iCloud prefs ???
    - I cannot see any "Verification Email button in iCloud.
    I'm on Yosemite…

  • ICloud verification e-mail not arriving

    Hello. I received an e-mail informing me that my Apple ID password had changed for some reason this morning, so I changed my password.  When I've done this in the past I've re-entered the new password into iCloud and had no problems, but today I needed to verify my e-mail address.  The thing is, I've not gotten a mail.  Even when I've resent a verification mail via the Apple ID management page.  I think I may go into my local apple store tomorrow, but has any one got any ideas barring calling apple support?
    Thanks in advance.

    problem solved. I don't know why the verification mail went into my spam folder when all other mails go to my inbox.  anyway, I seem to have lost all my contacts for some reason. I'd recommend paper back up of contacts numbers and e-mail addresses to anyone!

    Why would you delete your iCloud account for a password change with your Yahoo account?
    Regardless, if no problem re-creating your iCloud account on your iPad, contact Yahoo technical support.
