ICloud account broken? email never worked.

I have a very old account from my days before iCloud. I have the feeling that during the transition period some error accured. iCloud email never worked for my account.
If I try to activate iCloud email on my iPhone (iOS 7) i get a error message "Cannot get Mail - user name or password is incorrect". However all other services like Calendar and iMessage still sync, so the user and password can't be the problem.
If I log onto iCloud.com I get a message: "Can't load Mail - There was a problem loading the application"
I considered making a new account, but all my iTunes purchases were made with this account and using a different account for app store is really messy.
Here is the error report from iCloud.com:
IS FATAL
true
APPLICATION NAME

TITLE

Just a minor suggestion. Since icloud and itunes store accounts are different, you can keep the old ID for itunes and use a new ID for icloud.

Icloud account verification email never comes!

I have an iphone 4S. I've just recently tried to set up my iCloud account. It WILL NOT send the verification email so that I can verify my account. I've checked, this is the only account my email address is the primary for. I've reset password and I received two emails from Apple within seconds. I've joined the support community and that email popped right up. I am on the most current operating system. I've read the rest of the articles found around the web. What the heck is going on!!

Have you tried all of these recommendations for troubleshooting?

How to Delete an iCloud Account's Email (Not the Whole Account, Just the Email)

Hello,
A couple of years ago, before iCloud was iCloud and was actually MobileMe, I created my own email on it (an @me.com email) and have had it ever since. Even after it became iCloud, i've kept my @me.com email address and have it to this day. I've used it ever since I created it; however, I absolutely hate using it now, and I really want to just get rid of it. I constantly receive spam messages on it, and I have found Gmail to be a much better email service compared to iCloud. I have been trying to figure out how to delete the email itself and not the whole iCloud account; however, I find it very surprising that I haven't been able to find much information about this at all. I know how to delete the whole iCloud account, but all I want to delete is the email. Is there any possible way to do this? Or is my only solution to delete the whole iCloud account? If I deleted the whole iCloud account, would it affect my Apple ID in any way? If I deleted my iCloud account and it does not affect my Apple ID, then would it be possible for me to delete my iCloud account and create a new one without the email?
Currently, I only have an iPod Touch 4th Generation running iOS 5.1.1 (I know. It seems very outdated nowadays. ). I also have a Windows 7 computer that I use to access icloud.com, but I don't have the iCloud program actually installed to it.
Thanks in advance and please help!

Sorry, but I believe there is no way to properly answer your question.Please start a live chat with Apple for assistance as i believe so their the only ones with the power as so, your email is used for recovery, purchase, and more!If it so changed, you'd need to restart your device, also, your best bet is to just to contact apple also.Didn't help?Sorry!Theres really no way...

How can I verify my iCloud account via email, when I can't access my icloud email without verifying my account?

I have setup a new cloud ID.
I now need to verify my account via email.
How can I do this when I can't access my iCloud email without verifying account?

Did you click the Verify Now link in the verification email from Apple (see image below)? If not, make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

I cant change my icloud account password, email was hacked and need this all changed

I cant seem to change my icloud account info, need to change the email and password. was able to change it on the computer once but cant change that in my phone or ipad. any ideas

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if running iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go 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. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account 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 and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

ICloud account/mail doesn't work! smtp problem?

When I want to send an email from my iMac, "mail" asks me for my password and says that the "smtp.mail.me.com" server is not accepting my iCloud password. When I enter it, the warning is coming again and again.
It works well on my iPhone, even with the same wifi connection.
What should I do?
Thanks for your help, Pascal

Hello antoniode,
Congratulations on your new iMac! Also, thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iCloud email account.
You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps already. I recommend continuing with the steps in the sections titled "If you can't send mail in OS X Mail" and "If you can't receive mail in OS X Mail" in the following article:

Icloud account cannot be verified

For the last 24 hours I have not been able to log into my iCloud account, my email has worked sporadically, my cloud backups on my iPhone and iPad are not working.
I get "verification" errors on my devices and "cannot connect to server" when I try to connect to iCloud on my Mac. Devices are also locking up if I go into
System Pref for iCloud.
I also could not sign in to iTunes.
I reset my password and that did not solve the problem
ICloud is reported to be up and running fine by Apple and others.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Deanna

When you change your apple id to a new email address, you will have received a verification email. You need to click the link in that email. If you haven't received that email, you can log into appleid.apple.com >> manage your apple id, and resend the verification email.

HT4847 I have an old icloud account on my iPad wish to delete the email address in no longer valid and I can't remember the password how do I delet it

Looking for help deleting an old icloud account the email address is no long valid I thought I changed this and deleted it previously but the iOS 7 update brought it back and won't let me delet any suggestions

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

TS3989 New MacAir but photostream does not work. Message though everything is on. "In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences." And,

New computer but Photostream does not work. I am signed into my account but get the following message: In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences. I go to system preferences and then get a message that says that my account cannot be accessed. However, I am using my icloud account for email and other items and it works fine. Any thoughts?

Are you getting this messages in iPhoto? If so try the following (again?):
Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.
