HT4864 Mail on the icloud

Is the only way to "cloud" your aol mail ( so you can see ALL mail sent whether from iPhone or MacBook pro) is by using safari and entering AOL that way???

iCloud only supports its own mail service (addresses like xxx.mac.com or xxx.me.com), not other services. In order to access mail from other services (other than using webmail) you need to use an email client like Apple Mail (or equivalent on ios devices). Just define an account using your service's account name/password and entering the correct incoming and outgoing servers into the settings.

Hi there tamarafromdarien,
You may find the troubleshooting steps for iCloud Mail in the article below helpful.
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
If you can't send mail in OS X Mail
If you receive this alert or a similar alert when sending a message from your iCloud email address in OS X Mail:
“This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The reason for the failure is: An error occurred while delivering this message via the smtp server: server name.”
In OS X Mail, choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
Click Accounts in the Preferences window.
Select your iCloud account from the list of accounts.
Click the Account Information tab.
Choose your iCloud account from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) pop-up menu. Example: “Derrick Parker (iCloud)”.
Note: The Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) menu also includes an Edit SMTP Server List command. If you choose this command, be aware that the iCloud SMTP server won't be among the servers that can be edited. This is normal.
If you're attaching a large file
Message attachments can't exceed the maximum size allowed by your email service provider or the recipient's email service provider. The maximum size varies by service provider. Try compressing the filebefore sending it, or send your message without the attachment to verify that there are no issues with sending.

Can't accès iCloud from Mail since the iCloud servers went down but ok with Safari access

A few Thursdays ago we lost access to the iCloud service when the servers went down. Mine never went back on in Mail but works just fine using Safari when accessing my iCloud mail account.
I can't access Icloud Preferences (Could not load iCloud preference pane) nor the Accounts Preferences. (Could not load Internet Accounts preference pane.)
A warning keeps popping up.... because of a problem with (my email) @me.com
Thank you.
Mitch

You only see Apple Token when it's an iCloud account. Seems something is corrupted in this acount. I would delete and add back. Mail will enter all the settings for you automatically. Just enter your email address and password.
If you don't see the Apple Token option then, I would test in a new User to see if it works there.
Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or if it's your User's folder that contains the problem.
CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Accounts. Switch to the New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching.
Do you still see the issue?
If yes, then the problem is with your base files.
If no, then the problem is in your User's folder.

How to inactivate notices of incoming Mail on the iCloud web interface?

The new iCould interface for Safari shows a notice for each incoming e-mail.
I would like to inactivate this feature and cannot find how.
On the iPhone it is possible to select for which sender we want such notices, or to simply stop them from appearing.
Any cue ?

Apple are unlikely to read your comments, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.

What do I do when my iCloud account is not the same as my Apple ID? And I do not have access to the e-mail address that the iCloud account is set-up under.

How do I get access to the iCloud account to remove/change it on my phone to match my Apple ID?
iPhone 4, trying to access iCloud
cannot remember password
do not have access to the e-mail that the iCloud account is created under
have an Apple ID, it is a different e-mail than the iCloud account.
Went to store and the person there tried a number of things. I tried all manners of possible passwords as well.
End game: Just want to have an iCloud account I can use on my iPhone.

Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

Why do I show both the iCloud and .mac mail accounts on my phone

I have an icloud account and both the .mac and icloud mail account show up on my iphone. Is this necessary? If I disable mail on the icloud page of my phone, will the mail be accessable in icloud but not show as a seperate account on my phone?

You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone. If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so. Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

SOS!! HELP! My iCloud keeps trying to log in with my old e-mail account and I have to access to it anymore, I changed the iCloud e-mail!! HELP I can't update anything!!!

So my e-mail got hacked and I had to create a new one and change all the programs, apps, etc that where linked to it; I also changed my iCloud e-mail but my mac and iPhone won't allow me to change the e-mail in the iCloud settings, please help!! I've already erased my iPhone completely but can't afford to erase everything in my computer! What can I do????

You need to go to System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign Out'. Then sign back in with the new ID, and enable the data types you want to sync in the checklist there. Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out but will reappear (give it time) when you sign back in.

What is the smtp incoming mail server for iCloud?

What is the smtp incoming mail server for iCloud?

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.

Mail client and iCloud issues

Anyone else having this problem where the Mail client on you Mac will not accept you new iClould account when you try to add you new iCloud account through the Mail preferences? I am running Snow Leopard.

I have similar symptoms.
The iCloud pane in System Preferences says "Starting..." and never finished.
Adding an account in OS X Mail prompts me for the Incoming Mail Server, even though it recognizes it as an iCloud account. Leaving leaving the field empty results in Mail unable to connect to the server.
Clicking on Mail in the iCloud web interface tells me I need to create an @me.com email address by enabling Mail in the iCloud System Preference.
I am using an existing MobileMe account (previously a .Mac account) which is my AppleID.

HT4864 problems with iCloud mail server on the mail, but it does not fix it when I put the password in, keeps asking me for password. When I go into iCloud to access it from safari, it accesses the icloud fine with my password. I have reset all the settin

I am running os x 10.7.5, on a macbk, I have been using all the apps fine and not changed anything or run any software updates, suddenly my mail dows not think it can connect with the outgoing server for icloud and requests my password, which I give, but it repeatedly asks again and again. I have tried re-setting all the mail for icloud up again, and it thinks its ok, except the box keeps flagging up can't access outgoing server. I have checked it all a number of times, and I can access the icloud stuff including mail from http when I log in there. Anyone know why my mac will not accept my icloud password? suddenly I cannot get any icloud mail in or out, but I changed nothing. Why does it do this and why can't i fix it?

No carrier "automatically" unlocks at end of contract - many won't do it at all, even if requested. I don't know what your carrier's policy is since you didn't say what country you're in.
However, if I understand you correctly, you didn't change carriers so it doesn't matter if it was unlocked or not. Try the following steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons for at least 19 seconds until the Apple logo appears
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
4. Replace SIM card (don't care what Telstra says)
5. Restore phone in iTunes as new, without using a backup
6. Take phone to Apple.

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.

What are the iCloud mail servers?

i just switched from the mac mail to microsoft office outlook. its much easier but i cant seem to get my icloud email set up. i dont know if i am getting the server names wrong or what. i have tried several different servers, but everyone gives me an error message saying something different every time. i just want to be able to view all of my email together on outlook if anyone can help.
Thanks

Hello..I googled your error message and found this exchange:
n the end, simply changing the iCloud password did the trick.
I kept getting authentication errors for my .mac iCloud account in Oulook 2011 on my iMac i7 for the past few weeks (since late November 2011). However, Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Air worked perfectly, even though all the Outlook settings were exactly the same on both computers. I tried all the settings in this discussion group and many others, including Apple's official settings (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864). I even called Microsoft Support, and they said I had to call Apple, since they were the source of the problem. What worked for me was simply changing my password for iCloud. My password was iCloud compliant to begin with, but changing it allowed Outlook 2011 to work with my iCloud account on my iMac. I saw this suggestion from someone who said his iCloud password was not compliant with Apple's requirements. Hopefully this will help others still experiencing problems with their iCloud accounts and Outlook 2011.
