Icloud account email doesn't send

Hi, when I compose and send an email in my icloud account on my ipad, it doesn't send, but puts it into my outbox. Have tried to send it numerous times from there, but with no luck. My other email account is a gmail, and that sends with no problem. Any ideas. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

If you go to http://icloud.com and go to the Mail app there, can you receive and send mail? If so, then the setup on your device(s) isn't working. Go to Settings (or System Preferences as applicable)>iCloud and sign out, then sign back in again.

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 ....

How do I change my iCloud Account email? I keep getting prompted to enter a password associated with an old email account I no longer use. I do not have the password for it. How do I change my iCloud Account?

You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it. It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

HT204053 I changed my Icloud account email and my account is no longer showing the 100.00 upgrade that I had purchased under my old email.

I changed my Icloud account email ,and since changing it, my 100.00 upgrade from my previous email, is not showing up on my new email account.

Welcome to the Apple Community Gladys.
It sounds like you have set up an entirely new ID rather than just changing your existing ID.
You can see exactly what exists at...
My Apple ID

You have signed in to an iCloud account that doesn't have permission to open this documents

Hi,
All my Pages and Numbers documents on iCloud.com have suddenly become impossible to open. On iCloud.com (from IE10 or Google Chrome 40/Win 8) their file names appear scrambled (encrypted?) and if I try to open them I get this error message: "You have signed in to an iCloud account that doesn't have permission to open this documents". I can still open the files with Pages (2.5.2) and Numbers (2.5.2) on my iPad 2 (iOS 8.2). I haven't tried to access from my Macs.
I have tried to disconnect Pages on my iPad from iCloud, delete all files from Pages on iCloud.com, and reactivate the iCloud sync on my iPad. The files are uploaded but I still have the same problem.
I should say that I also cannot access my iCloud Drive ("Can't load iCloud Drive. There was a problem loading the application") or Photos (same error message).
The problem seems to be fairly recent as I have worked on my documents on iCloud.com for weeks without any problem (last successful access two days ago).
Since my last successful access I have updated my iPad to iOS 8.2 and modified a few Pages files from it.
Does anyone now what the problem might be?

Goto settings, iCloud, click on your user account at the top, login with your password, if you can successfully login, you will see your files are no longer encrypted. I had this issue when I upgraded to 8.2 on my iPad, for some reason I had access to iCloud drive, but the files were encrypted, it never prompted that something was wrong with my token.
Cheers

You're signed into an iCloud account that doesn't have permission to open this spreadsheet.

Running Safari Version 8.0.3 (10600.3.18) on MacBook Pro with Yosemite Version 10.10.2 (14C109).
I have one spreadsheet in Numbers on iCloud.com. I do not have Numbers installed on my Mac, I just use Numbers (Beta) on the iCloud.com website. I don't need nor want Numbers installed locally on my Mac for my purposes. I made this spreadsheet when I first installed Yosemite, a couple months ago.
This morning, I edited the spreadsheet, then tapped on the margin to clear the editing tools. The spreadsheet saved. I closed it, and saw that it updated the date in Numbers on iCloud.
This evening, I restarted my Mac, restarted Safari, logged in on iClout and went to Numbers. I noted that the time was correct, but the spreadsheet name was corrupted. I tried to open it, and got a message: "You're signed into an iCloud account that doesn't have permission to open this spreadsheet."
Well, that is hogwash. I have one Apple ID and one iCloud ID. I am already signed into the iCloud.com account via Safari and the correct username is displayed.
I logged out, cleared Safari cache, quit Safari, then went back on. Same problem, spreadsheet name was corrupted and the message popped up when I tried to open it.
I have done some searching and have found some others who had a similar problem, yet no answers.
Does anyone know what is going on or how to fix?

Hey FatFingerDan,
It looks like you were accessing iCloud around Mar 11, 2015.
Is it working now? There were some system issues last Wednesday. You can check System Status at
Apple - Support - System Status
Note you can scroll back on the Detailed Timeline by clicking the back button to see some previous days.
Take care,

Somehow I have made an iCloud account that is not verified and is asking to check my email at that is of that account and is an incorrect email address. how do I change the name of this unverified incorrect iCloud account/email?

somehow I have made an iCloud account that is not verified and is asking me to check an email address that is of that account and also incorrect. How do I change the name of this incorrect icloud account/email address?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If it's the iCloud email address that is incorrect, you cannot change it. If it's a non iCloud address, you can change it at My Apple ID

HT204053 My icloud account email address is my old email address. How do I change it to my current email address?

my icloud account email address is my old email address. how do I change it?

To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, 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.

I need to change the iCloud account email address.

I need to change the iCloud account email address as this email is now canceled. Can't seem to find how ;(

If you mean the non-Apple email address which is your login, you can change it at http://appleid.apple.com - click on 'Manage your account'. You can't change the @icloud.com address you set up when you opened the account.

My icloud account on macmail is sending from my old (deleted!) work account that was on gmail. How do i stop this happening?

Delete the Gmail SMTP server, then pick the correct SMTP server for the account that you are using.
Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): expand the dropdown next to the label and delete the incorrect server, then pick the correct server and check the box that says "Use Only This Server"

How can I delete my iCloud account when it is sending a verification email to an address which is no longer accessible?

I recently changed my old iTunes User id from an old, defunct, and inaccessible email address to a new and active one. To do this I went to iTunes 'Manage your Account'. At the same time, I changed my password, and this has been working fine.
However, I now need to change my iCloud account, so I read up on it and saw that I needed to delete my old iCloud account and set up a new one with the new iTunes user id. When I tried to delete the iCloud account, it sent a verification email to the old, defunct email address, and will not allow me to go any further until I confirm the verification.
The problem is of course that I can't access the old email address to confirm the verification that iCloud has sent to it.
Solutions already tried:
Go into iTunes and 'Manage my account' - this doesn't work as there is no option to manage the iCloud account here, only the iTunes account
Reset the iTunes account to the old email address - this doesn't work, as it still sends a verification to the old email address, and I can't access it to confirm
Contacting Apple by email - tried this but they didn't seem to have a clue what I was talking about!
Does anyone out there have any bright ideas? All welcome!

Use "Manage your Account" to change the primary email address.

Outlook asking to enter network password for iCloud account when trying to send email.

I'm trying to set up iCloud on Outlook 2007 and have used the control panel and manual set-up. However, every time I try to send an email it asks me to 'enter network password' and then doesn't send. any help?

Update- changed my Apple ID password and it now seems to be working.

ICloud account takes longer to send than other accounts.

I have several accounts configured on my iPhone 4. I've got Yahoo, Gmail and Outlook.com. I just created an iCloud mail account yesterday. So far it takes a fee minutes before my email from my iCloud account gets sent while I have no problems of delay whatsoever in sending with any other of my accounts. How come?

I was having the same problem; but I've found a workaround that might help. Here's what to do:
Set up your iCloud account on your iPhone/iPad with whichever email address you want as your main one; either .me or .mac.
Set up a Gmail account if you don't already have one. It doesn't matter if you don't ever intend you use it for sending email.
Go to your 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' settings on your iPhone/iPad, and add the Gmail account if you don't already have one set up.
Go into your Gmail settings and under 'Account' list all the email addresses you want want to send from as your secondary option. In my case, I had already set up iCloud with .mac so I've listed the .me one in my Gmail settings. Put a comma and space between each email address. I've got three email addresses listed here. (See screen grab). Oddly, I didn't seem to have the comma key available on my iPad, so I listed my email addresses in 'Notes' and cut/pasted them in.
Now when you send an email, you should have all those addresses available to send from.
Hope this helps.
Tom.

I just synced with my MBP, but my iCloud account email address remains in a "inactive" status. Under settings the Apple ID and Password is wrong, and I can't find out how to fix it

I just switched over to an iPhone 4 CDMA on the verizon network the other day. I connected with my MBP/ w Lion and the sync seemed to go flawless.... All my date was pushed thru the iCloud, but then I saw that my main email address @me.com says that it is inactive when I look at it in Settings- Mail-Accounts. I can see that the iCloud account name and password is wrong, but I can not seem to find out how to correct it. Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot,
Fred

You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here. If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries. Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer. You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple. On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application. So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

Icloud receiving emails with NO Sender, No Subject

Over the last few weeks my iCloud account has been displaying lots of messages with No Sender, No Subject in the header. The majority of these are automated email services like reservation acknowledgements etc. It is effecting all my devices that use iCloud.
The same emails sent to my BT account and accessed by the same devices are fine.

I have logged on to iCloud direct via vrowser and the messages are wrong on there. Below is an example of a message content:-
