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.

HT5330 Setting up iCloud Mail on iOS 4.2.1

I'm trying to setup iCloud Mail on an iPod touch running iOS 4.2.1, but the iPod says that imap.me.com is not responding. Are these instructions still correct correct now that MobileMe has been shut down? I assume not.

I had the same issue. I just got my emails to work on my iPhone 3g (running iOS 4) by using server details from another support article (support.apple.com/kb/HT4864) instead of the ones given in this article. These addresses include 'mail'. Ie:
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
This worked for me. Hopefully it works for you too!

Mac and iPod won't let me set up iCloud Mail. Server not responding.

When I first got in to iCloud, my Mail app on my Mac and iPod were fine, but when U went back to them some time later, they kept requesting my password and then not connecting to the servers. I deleted the account from all Mail apps and tried to set them back up again, but now it says the servers aren't responding and won't let me continue setting up my accounts.
I can send and recieve emails from icloud.com.
Any help?

I've just had another look at it, and it seems it doesn't save your password so keeps signing out before it gets a chance to connect with the servers. The tickbox next to the Mail icon under the iCloud section in System Preferences keeps deselecting itself. This also happens when trying to log into icloud.com, where it says "Keep me signed in", it doesn't keep you signed in.

Error setting up iCloud mail

My Apple ID is an address @mac.com. When I set it up for iCloud it was all okay but there's a but.
I can't send mail on my iPhone via the @me.com address. It tries to use the @mac.com address and I can't fix it. I tried to change it in the settings but the address is unchangeable.
Although I can't send mail, I can receive it no problems. But even then, when I try to reply the message, the address it tries to use is the @mac.com and it doesn't even display the @me.com as an option.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, guys!

Why are you trying to set it up manually? You should be able to sign in in System Preferences>iCloud and check 'Mail' in the checklist there, and it will set it up automatically (of course you may get the same error).

Can't set up iCloud mail aliases

I've been trying all day to set up alias emails under my iCloud account, but keep getting an error message "... can't be saved due to server error". This has been going on all day with several attempts using both a windows computer at work and an iMac at home. Anyone else getting this problem/error message?

I've had this problem for at least 2 months. I also have applecare. They moved it up the chain and the senior advisor-1 wanted access to my email account to look into it. I was hesitant but figured I'd do it for a day or two. After 4 days or so I emailed back and forth with advisor in charge asking how long they would need access because I wasn't comfortable giving them indefinite access. He said he had no idea and it would take as long as they needed. I found that unacceptable and changed my password so they couldn't get into the account anymore.
Almost three weeks later the same advisor emailed me again asking if I had changed my password because they couldn't get into my email account. So it took them 3 weeks to even begin to look into the problem??
I called another senior advisor-2 and told him my original alias problem, and the issue I had with their solution to it (unlimited access). He said that didn't sound right and that he'd look into it. He called back and told me that HIS email account was having the exact same problem and that another senior advisor would contact me. He (sr.advisor-3) did and requested access to my email account AGAIN. I called the advisor-2 who was having the same problem that I was and asked him why they couldn't experiment with his email account instead of mine. His (sr.advisor-2) reply was as lame as the proposed solution, he said because I'm the one who put the help ticket in for it. Seriously? Once again I denied them access to it.
So as of right now I still can't create any email aliases. I've only got one and it says I have 2 of 3 available. My guess is they have no idea how to fix it and are ignoring this issue.
My solution: create another gmail address. Since Apple insists that we use an outside email address for our Apple ID I have a gmail account anyway. Gmail doesn't seem to care how many email address I want so I'm sticking with them.
Has anyone found a resolution to this yet?

HT4759 I need to set up icloud mail keep getting message about non traditional roman letters?

I continually get a message in read telling me I can't use non-traditional Roman letters in the e-mail account.

Is your email address using strange letters (non Roman)? You might try creating an alias email address using normal letters. See link...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622
Admitedly I may not have this right. There was a post a week or so ago regarding this problem. I just don't recall whether it was the primary email address of the icloud account that was the problem or something else. At any rate, look at this link, it might help.

Pdf attachments do not come through on iCloud mail but they do on other email accounts on same device

I have several email accounts set up that appear on all my devices: iMac, iPhone and iPad. I use 2 email accounts for work purposes, and good thing I use two. I receive pdf attachments in non-apple email accounts, but the same email sent to my iCloud address comes through minus the attachment and shows only "winmail.dat". I am using the same device to read the email from the different accounts, but the problem is consistent with all my apple devices. This has to be a setting in iCloud mail but I can not figure it out. Please help.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
If the basic troubleshooting steps don't work, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.

Blank incoming emails in iCloud Mail

I started using iCloud mail as my exclusive mail program on my PC (Windoes 7, IE9) a couple of weeks ago. I have an iPhone5 and like the idea of the two mail programs being always in sync.
I noticed though that an occassional email (e.g. one from PC magazine, one from Lowry's research) comes in blank on my PC. Header OK, but no content. Other emails from these folks come in OK on my PC. ALL emails come in OK on my iPhone.
I tried switching internet browsers (IE9, Firefox and Chrome) -- all with the same results.
Any advice on what might be happening would be appreciated.
Thx,
MikeT in VA

Here are instructions for setting up iCloud mail on OS X 10.6. Are you following these steps?

ICloud 'mail' not loading in browser

Can't get the iCloud 'mail' app to load in Safari (or Firefox) browser window, every other 'App' loads and shows correctly, but every time I try and launch the 'Mail' it just says 'not responding - send report to Apple?' Frustrating!!
I've flushed the cache and the DNS cache, still no joy.
'Mail' is defiantly 'ticked' across all iCloud preferences/settings.
I'm running Yosemite.
Any ideas?

Settings/Preferences and iCloud in a web browser are two completely different things.
If you're setting up iCloud Mail in Preferences/Settings on your iOS device or Mac, then you should be able to access it via the preinstalled Mail application on your device. If you want to access iCloud Mail in a web browser (only accessible via Mac or PC), then please use the latest version of Safari, Firefox, Chrome, visit www.icloud.com and sign in using your icloud email address.
With kind regards,
David
