  • Can;t set up iCloud in Mail with Mavericks

    Hi,
    I am unable to set up icloud in mail.  II used migration assistant tto migrate from an older macbook pro running mavericks to a new one and for some reason there was an issue with iCloud Mail.  I then tried to add the account and despite no error messages, it fails to display in Mail.
    I am able to set up other accounts like Gmail and Exchange and they behave properly.  I have the latest version of Mail v7 (updated) and have successfully set up iCloud using a test account on my mac.  This means that the problem is user specific. I have tried removing mail dir in library and plists in preferences to set up mail again but with no luck.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    I just got a Mac for a first time and I'm trying to configure Mail 3.5 with my gmail account and even after having followed all the steps seen on this forum, I just can't do it. The messages that come up are:
    "The IMAP server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages"
    AND
    "The SMTP server "smtp.gmail.com" is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to send messages"
    it might be very basic but I can't manage. Can anyone help??
    Thanks in advance!!

  • I can't set up icloud on my older macbook. The systems preferences has only "mobile me". I have lots of files on this computer that I want to transfer.

    How do you set up icloud on an older macbook? It is full of files that I want to keep. The system preferences menu does not have icloud. It has mobile me. Do I have to upgrade the operating system to, say, mountain lion? Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I want to give the old one to my granddaughter.

    You have to update to Lion at least to get basic iCloud functions, and if you want full iCloud functions, then you need to upgrade to Mountain Lion.

  • HT4864 Can't set up iCloud in Outlook 2013

    I have Windows 7 and Outlook 2013. I am unable to set up iCloud account in Outlook. Get error message that default profile is not set in Outlook. The Apple support site for Outlook configuration does NOT address this problem. Please help. I would like step-by-step instructions.

    Does Outlook have a default profile set?

  • HT4864 Problems sending email via icloud

    I am having problems sending email via my iCloud through Mail or Sparrow, I have checked the mail server settings and they are correct based on what is described on the Apple site.  Anyone else having this problem?

    For some reason, iCloud smtp servers haven't been working well over the last couple weeks. I have experienced this twice, in as many weeks. Very frustrating as I send numerous emails on a daily basis via my iCloud account. If I login through the browser, the sending works fine, but via Mac Mail...no go. Very irritating to say the least. Apple, please fix this fluctuation problem.

  • I have iCloud on my MacBook Air.  Trying to set up icloud on another device- MacBook Pro.  I have OSx version 10.5.8 on the Pro.   The iCloud does not appear on my system preference/ Internet

    How do I get the iCloud icon to appear in my System Preference/Internet & Wireless section to turn it on.  Again I only have Mobile Me icon.  When I check for updating of software it says there are no updates.  I currently have OS X Version 10.5.8 on the MacBook Pro that needs to have iCloud.

    iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  If you’re running 10.6.8 or earlier you will need to upgrade to either Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac.  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
    Lion system requirements 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
    Mountain Lion requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
    Mavericks requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    If you can run Mavericks, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If you can only run Lion or Mountain Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
    After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

  • Set up iCloud in Mail

    When I try to set up my iCoud account as an email account in Apple Mail, the application fills in all the details except for my iCoud email address and password.  In the incoming mail server field, it fills in p08-imap.mail.me.com
    But when I try to save the account settings, by navigating to another email account, I get the message 'Incoming mail server cannot be blank'. Yet this field cannot be typed-into. Because it is iCloud, it seems, Apple Mail makes that field read-only.
    What do I do now?

    Well, for the moment, all is well, but I am not sure why.  I un-marked Mail in iCloud prefs, and when I marked it again, the panel said it had to be done in my mail program.  (Why it's this way sometimes, and the other way sometimes remains a mystery.)
    Then I went to Mail and set up an iCloud account, changing as little as possible.  For example, before, I had used [email protected] as my email addrss, but this time, I used [email protected], just because some little tea leaves said that was better. And i eschewed changing the deafult mailbox behaviors, whereas before, I had made it keep trash forever.
    So this time it worked!
    In the past, when I have had an iCloud account set up in Mail, the connection to the outgoing iCloud mail server would fail for no known reason, as confirmed by Connection Doctor.  But now, (AS LONG AS I TOUCH NOTHING), it seems to be OK.
    One additional mystery:  though my iCloud account shows that it uses the iCloud server for outgoing mail, none of my other accounts can use it for outgoing mail, because it doesn't show up in the list of servers. Is that docmented or explained anywhere?
    I will keep this inquiry open for a few days, in case something else goes South.

  • Problems with setting up iCloud

    Have new iPad2 and started iCloud setup. Opened another screen for clarification of what I was reading and somehow lost setup page before I finished.  Now can't see iCloud icon, can't find anything in settings for it, and don't see icon anywhere on iPad or in AppStore for download.  This is all new for me so not sure where to look.  Looked online and at Apple website but nothing helpful....

  • How to set column headers in Mail on MacBook Pro?

    In Mail on my MacBook Pro I have a number of columns set as a default view in Mail - To, Subject, Date etc
    I want to add Mailbox (as I have more than one mail account) as a default header.
    When I right click on the header bar and add it, it works but next time I log on it's gone again.
    How do I add Mailbox as a column permanently?

    Can anybody help me with this?
    I anticipated it would be quite a straight forward issue.
    I presume I've posted it on the right forum but please advise if not.

  • Setting Up Optonline E-mail on MacBook Pro using Outlook 2011

    I had lots of trouble setting this up.  I even went to a one to one session at the Apple Store and they couldn't figure it out either.
    We copied the setting from my outlook off my old PC but no luck.
    Then I had an online chat with an optonline representative and let him take control of my screen.
    He did two simple things under the account settings:
             (1) Check the box that says override default port, while making sure the Use SSL to connect box is NOT checked
             (2)  Change the outgoing server port to 587
    The incoming mail servers still stays at port 110, with none of the boxes checked.
    Hope this helps someone else save a bit of time and hassle.  Good luck.

    As you're probably aware, Outlook is the new preferred name so maybe that's been an issue. They've added IMAP support too now.
    I tried that with mine but have to add an "other" account, enter the incorrect email (.co.uk instead of .com) which triggered the manual section. Filled it in using the deals here: ( http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/w...ceive-from-app) and then corrected the .co.uk issue in preferences afterwards.
    Pain, but it's working.....so far!
    Hope that helps/points you in the right direction.

  • Not receiving iCloud e-mail on MacBook Air

    Hello.
    I don't seem to be receiving e-mail on my MacBook Air, although it goes to both my iPhone and iPad just fine. There are no Rules, Forwarding, or Junk Mail issues.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Harlemite In Stockholm,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the Mail application is not receiving emails. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • I made the fatal mistake of allowing iCloud to handle my @mac mail account. I had set this address up with aliases and never had a problem.  Ever since iCloud has been handling it I have had problems. It seams impossible to claim my account back from iClo

    I made the fatal mistake of allowing iCloud to handle my @mac mail account.
    I had set this address up with aliases and never had a problem.
    Ever since iCloud has been handling it I have had problems.
    It seams impossible to claim my account back from iCloud. How can it be achieved or has Apple set a booby trap?

    iCloud is the successor to MobileMe. MobileMe shuts down forever tomoorrow.
    If you only want to use the email portion of your previous MobileMe account you can. You do not have to use all the other features of iCloud, just like you didn't have to use all the other features of MobileMe.
    The email account has not really changed at all. Just the server address it comes from.
    The sending emails problem you are having, is this on your Mac in Mail, in webmail at iCloud.com or on your iOS device?
    When it doesn't succeed in sending, what does it do? Any error message?
    What mail server settings are you using in Mail? What version of Mac OS X are you using?

  • TS3988 what is the iCloud incoming mail server setting?

    what is the iCloud incoming mail server setting?

    imap.mail.me.com - but you shoudn't need to enter this manually. If you are having problems, sign out in System Preferences>iCloud, then sign back in again and enable Mail in the checklist. Your data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out but will return when you sign back in.
