I can't receive email to my iCloud alias

Hello,
I have an iCloud alias and when I go into my iCloud account, the alias is there, but I can't receive email to that alias and when I send to that address, I receive an error message.  Also have received the message that the account isn't recognised.

Hello.
Thanks for the message.  The messages I were receiving said unrecognised email and server couldn't find the address.  But then suddenly it started receiving messages to the alias, but not sending.  I did try the link you suggested.  I finally ended by deleting the iCloud account and adding it back.  Now I seem to be able to send and receive, but only to and from the @icloud.com    The me.com alias doesn't send or receive mail, and I think it should as my main address works for both me.com and iCloud.com
Any ideas on this? 
Anyway, the solution seemed to be to delete and re-add the iCloud account to Mail.  It doesn't allow me to edit the alias now and it did before in settings.  It now says just custom for the alias.

    Live mail is a POP system, everything will be deleted, so backup first.

    Why can i not receive email with my icloud account but I can send it out only

    Hi Nortarian,
    The article below will walk you through the troubleshooting steps for email on your iPad:
    iOS: Unable to send or receive email
    If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
    Restart the iOS device.
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
    Try an alternative Internet connection.
    If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi:  Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
    Hope this helps ....

    That is (or was) a Mobile Me server, now closed down. The correct servers are
    imap.mail.me.com and smtp.mail.me.com (outgoing), but this should have been set automatically, did you completely sign out of iCloud (System Preferences>iCloud and is Mail activated in Mail, Contacts and Calendars as well as iCloud?
    If you are still signed in at System Preferences>Mobile Me, sign out.

  • I suddenly can't receive emails from senders at a particular domain.  They can receive emails from me.  I haven't blocked them.  Any suggestions on how to 'reopen the line' will be appreciated, thanks.

    Contact iCloud support. Apple's spam filters may have detected spam coming from users on that domain and blocked all email from it.

  • I am not receiving email on my iCloud mail account what should I do?

    II am not receiving email on my iCloud mail account what should I do?

    iTunes gift cards are only valid on accounts based in the country in which the card was issued - so if you have a US account then you can only use US gift cards. Do you know anybody in the country where you bought it from that you could sell or give it to ? Or you could try selling it on a site such as eBay.

    I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
    Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
    Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
    Anyone???

  • Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?

    Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?
    I currently have an iPhone and iPad, and am soon changing over to a Mac. When that happen I'd like to try to see what I can migrate over from the Google ecosystem to the iCloud ecosystem.
    1) Currently I have the Gmail iOS app (a webapp container) that can search server-side of several years of email archive.  Can iCloud do this using the iOS native mail application?  Or is the search just limited to what the device has downloaded locally?
    2) Do I have to use a @me.com address for the full iCloud email sync to take place between server, Mac, and iOS devices?
    Believe it or not I've read quite a bit about the iCloud services, but the answers to these questions were far from clear.  Many thanks for the help.

    2)  iCloud only syncs email between .me/.mac addresses.  For other accounts like google, you set up the account in the mail app and if they're IMAP accounts, you can sync between the google server and any devices you have defined that account on.
    I'm not absolutely sure about 1) since I haven't had to search going back years - I use MailSteward for that on the mac.  On my iPhone/iPad, when I go into a mailbox and the emails are not immediately available, it downloads them.  I suspect for a search, you need the emails downloaded.

  • Can't receive email all of a sudden

    Hi
    I have had my iMac for a year now. I'm using system 10.7.5. I have had no problems with it at all until now. About a month ago I suddenly stopped receiving emails in one of my accounts. All the others worked fine. I didn't make any changes to it at all. All of sudden, when I clicked on the Send and Receive Mail button, the little wheel just turned and turned to the right of the email account and nothing happened. I called my ISP who told me everything was working fine on their side. They did notice that the account was logging in to pull mail, but it wasn't logging out again. They told me it was an issue on my side.
    I deleted the account and re-added it and it made a difference for about 10 minutes and then stopped working again. I went as far as deleting that email account off of my server as well and creating a new one for myself, putting a forward on the old one so I wouldn't miss out on any emails. This worked for about 2 weeks and I thought it was fixed. Now, all of a sudden, I can't receive emails again. I seem to be able to send emails just fine from the offending account.
    I receive them without any issues on my blackberry so it isn't my ISP. The problem is with my mac. I took all my accounts offline and back online 10 seconds later and still nothing changed. Now and then it will suddenly work but I will get ALL the same emails that I have been receiving over the last few weeks and NOTHING new. It's very odd to me but I'm really hoping someone will recognise this issue and be able to shed some light on the subject. I can't keep answering emails off of my blackberry so I need to fix this and I'm completely stumped.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    Shut down the app and then Reset...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
    - Press the red to delete the Calendar app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    - Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    - Restart Calendar

    Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)?  That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both?  Or more?
    I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
    Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details.  The BT email client set-up starts here.

  • Can not receive emails from third party email accounts

    Recently I started working for a small business which has small business server 2011 and exchange 2010 installed. Before I started there were eight user accounts and they all have unlimited email access. I created a few users through sbs AD and also from
    exchange console a week ago. Unfortunately none of them can not receive emails from third party accounts. they all can receive internal emails and also can send mails to any email accounts internally and externally. 
    This is a night mare for me as new users are having trouble with communicating via mails. I have tried all the methods and now thought of posting this issue on tech net. Please help me on this!!
    Thanks a lot!!

    Checklist for testing inbound email problems, I am assuming outbound emails works ok.
    1. Check Port 25 forwarding on all modems routers/firewalls
    2. MX Record is created and pointing to the correct Public IP Address, use MXToolbox.com to verify MX Record and test SMTP flow. Also Verify your public IP has not changed, use whatsmyip.org to check you public IP
    3. If using POP Connector Service, make sure POP accounts are created properly
    4. If using a 3rd party spam host, make sure they forward email to correct public IP address, use step 2 to verify your public IP.

  • Can't receive email when I'm in an LINUX network

    Hi
    I'm not the best in Network questions.
    Just working for a company at the moment who has a linux server. I can go on their network and get conected to their data server via ip adress with mac osx and even with parallels. I can also go on the internet with safari and skype is working as well.
    the only problem is that mail can't receive emails and msn isn't working as well.
    does anyone know which settings I have to change to get into that network.
    and is mail able to use the microsoft exchange server from that company?
    thanks

    I'm pretty sure their firewall is blocking the ports for POP3 and SMTP or they simply substituted the ports with others. Many companies with an own mail server block the ports and you're stating they have an Exchange server. So there's no way to get your mails unless they open the ports OR they tell you the substitute ports. As for your 2nd question: Yes, Mail is able to use it, just ask their admin for server name and login details. If there are problems the Exchange server may need to be configured to use the IMAP protocol.

  • TS3103 All of a sudden can't receive email on Mail client.  Sessions with service provider (Att/yahoo) and Apple have yielded no results!

    All of a sudden can't receive email on Mail client.  Sessions with service provider (att/yahoo) and Apple have yielded no results!  Recently upgraded to Lion, but have received email since.  Anyone having the same problem.  Apple says service provider problem, service provider say it's the mail client.  Anyone had this problem???

    No.  My frustration with the problem just led me to begin the process convert all my email to a gmail client.  However, after some time all my mail with att/yahoo has been coming through as before.  Go figure.  Still will convert to gmail.
