ICloud email authentication

I can't authenticate my account and there is no option to resend authentication email. What do I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

Can Multiple email accounts on Galaxy S4 sync with iCloud & non-iCloud email?

Hello… has anyone successfully set up multiple email accounts (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T/etc.) on their Samsung Galaxy S4 Jelly Bean 4.2? I searched the forums and it has been said that configuration settings depend on the combination of wireless service provider + device model + email providers + Android version.
My S4 is from AT&T and if this scenario can't work, I have to cancel my contract in a few days (although that would be the last resort). From checking the forums, not everyone has been able to get the S4 to work with iCloud. In my case, I hope to sync up with iCloud and non-iCloud email which might be trickier.
Here is one thread that helps with settings, but doesn't seem to address multiple or non-iCloud accounts: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22435596#22435596
Some background info…
Although Gmail just works on Android devices, I plan to primarily use Apple/Yahoo/AT&T email (at least initially).
I don’t yet have Apple mail/iCloud, but plan to. I am partially switched to the Mac (Mtn Lion), but haven’t completed the jump from Windows.
I don’t have an iPhone (so hopefully that makes the setup less complicated.)
I mostly care about email on the S4 (I’m not concerned about syncing up contacts, calendar, music, etc.).
Apologies for the long post, but hopefully I’ve included the necessary background info for the questions below:
Is it possible to setup multiple (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T) emails on the Samsung Galaxy S4 from AT&T so that they sync nicely?
From the S4, if I reply to an email, will the Sender in the email reply be the same account which received the email? Or, (as I’ve read in the excerpt below) will the Sender for all email replies from the S4 be set from a fixed/primary account?
Although the first two questions above are the most urgent for now, I'd appreciate pointers if you see something that should be changed in the configuration settings below.
Thanks in advance!

After spending quite some time trying to get my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II setup with iCloud mail, this is what finally worked. Thanks to everyone for the various bits that helped lead me in the right direction. For those who need lots of detail, I hope the below helps. Please don't ask me about any other specific Android phones as I'm not expert but thought someone out there could benefit from my experience.
INCOMING SERVER SETTINGS
User Name: username (do not enter @me,com or @mac.com)
Password: (enter your password)
IMAP server: imap.mail.me.com
Security type: SSL
Port: 993
IMAP path prefix: p##- (you can find this by checking your account settings on your Mac. Mine was p03- so that's what I entered here)
Press NEXT
OUTGOING SERVER SETTINGS
SMTP server: smtp.mail.me.com
Security type: TLS
Port: 587
check the box next to "Require sign-in" if it's not already checked
User name: username (do not enter @me.com or @mac.com)
Password (enter your password)
Press NEXT
Your phone will check the server settings and you should be able to see your email now.
And another poster provided these additional tips…
Definitely select SSL/TLS and accept all certificates
Now here's the zinger: Authentication should be LOGIN
After figuring this out, I finally (after many hours of searching and testing) got to my outgoing server settings, which are: smtp.me.com
NONE for security type
Tic "Require Sign-in"
Authentication is PLAIN
And another poster's question about the Sender's email address for multiple accounts…
Managed to get this all set up however, Android only seems to allow you to send from your primary address and only reply from your primary address even if a mail was sent to one of the other addresses.
Any ideas how to get around this as I have three addresses beneath my primary which I need to both send from and reply from.

You're unlikely to find many people with experience of configuring multiple email accounts on a specific Samsung device, here on the Apple forum for an Apple service. Try the Samsung forums for help setting up your Samsung phone.
There are a few posts with general info relating to setting up an iCloud email account on Android here if you search though.

I forgot my icloud email password. I use a different email account for my AppleID. How can i reset my Icloud email password?

I need to reset my password for my iCloud email. I forgot the password because I made it about a year ago and forgot to write it down. I used my iCloud email which it *****n****[email protected] for many of my social media accounts. I have recently found out that if I want to reset my password for a social media account, that it will not go to my imessage. I have not yet set up *****n****[email protected] on the mail app, which is what I am assuming you have to have if you want social networks to email you on your mobile phone. I can not set up *****n****[email protected] on the mail app though, because I do not know the password. I also have a separate email for my AppleID account, and yes. I have reset the password for my applied account, to see if it would also reset my icloud email address password. Thank you, and I am sorry this was confusing.

I forgot my iCloud email password

I forgot my iCloud email address password and can't find a way to reset it .
I know my Apple ID and the password for that its just the @me.com password I've forgotten. When I go onto iCloud from my other PC I can't see the @me .co account.
Help please

I received a spam message from my iCloud email to my hotmail account - what gives?

So I have my Hotmail email and iCloud (@me.com) account on my iPhone. Suddenly today, I received an email from my @me.com account - to my Hotmail account - this is very odd as I rarely-to-never use my iCloud email account. So I have a feeling either A. it was a genuine security breach or B. it's some weird hoax.
Yes, I know many people spam with names that look similar etc - but I've checked the message headers - and they appear like a legitimate message. Also, I replied to the message - and received it in my @me.com account. I'm not some n00b who calls the help desk - but was wondering if anyone else had this issue today...
I've included the message header below - *note that I've replaced my real email address with 'main_user'

Ive put in an incorrect iCloud email address and cannot verify my password any ideas

I got the iPhone 5s and when doing set up I put in an email address that doesn't exist and a password , after set up it tells you to follow email to verify , now I can't get in to my iCloud due to not being able to verify password, and when I am trying to put password in it tells me its incorrect

If you want to use another Apple I.D, you can go to SETTINGS - STORE. Click on the Apple I.D; select Sign out and Sign in with a valid Apple I.D.
If you want to change the password of an existing Apple I.D. you need to sign in to the account first which apparently you can't as the "password" is incorrect. Here is what you can do to change the password.
Go to https://appleid.apple.com
Login with the Apple I.D. and you will see these 2 option.
Select your authentication method.
Email authentication: To access your information, we will send an email to the address(es) on file for you.
Answer security questions: To access your information, you will answer the security question(s) provided when you originally created your Apple ID.
Proceed with the one that's easy for you.

How do I add icloud email on galaxy nexus?

Had a iPhone 4 now have a galaxy nexus. Want to receive iCloud email on galaxy nexus. How do i set it up?

Double-check that you've got all this set, particularly the SSL:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
If it still doesn't work you'll need to take it up with the manufacturers.

ICloud email address "already taken" -- how to reclaim?

hi!
i previously activated iCloud on my iPad 4 several months back. When it prompted me to create an iCloud email address, I was able to create one. (Note: this iCloud email address ends in @icloud.com while my Apple ID--which i used to activate iCloud on my iPad 4--ends with @live.com.)
my iCloud data were not syncing properly on all my iOS devices, so I deleted the iCloud data on all of them. I never bothered using iCloud with a browser on the desktop.
lately i bought an iPad retina mini. i decided to reactivate iCloud using my Appple ID (the one i used previously that ends with @live.com). this time, my iCloud data (contacts, calendar, reminders) sync effortlessly. however, if i try to activate notes and mail (which required me to create an @icloud.com email address) and i input my previous @icloud.com email address, it is rejected and the error "this name is already taken" appears.
i know that this @icloud.com email address is mine and mine alone. it uses a combination of characters that only i could possibly come up with. however, since my first attempt with iCloud syncing wasn't that great, and since i didn't bother with opening iCloud with a browser, i never bothered with the @icloud.com password. now i can no longer remember it. i cannot even recall if i entered any in the first place.
i tried having my @icloud.com password reset using the security questions, but it doesn't accept my date of birth. if i use email authentication (using my @live.com email address), i do not get to receive any messages to authenticate my identity.
i would very much like to reuse the @icloud.com email address i previously created. is there a way to do so? how do i reset the password for the @icloud.com email address?
any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

Hi ignudi,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know you have already tried to answer the security questions to reset your Apple ID password, the @icloud.com address, and you are not receiving the email authentication. The following attached article has steps resetting your Apple ID password.

Icloud email stopped working with outlook 2010 after icloud 3.0 update.,

Hi all,
hope some one can help me out here...
I have had my icloud email set up successfully on my PC (Outlook) for many months, until the icloud 3.0 was released now it doesn't work. I have tried all the usual suspects, I have even gone to the trouble of uninstalling both MS office & icloud control panel then reinstalling them but to no avail. I have tried to manually configure the account in outlook but all I get is an error message "The server responded: 530 5.7.0 No AUTH command has been given"
please HELP?
my config is:
User Info     e-mail: @icloud.com - I have also tried @me.com
Server Info     IMAP
                    imap.mail.me.com     port 993 SSL
                    smtp.mail.me.com - also tried p06-smtp.mail.me.com port 587 TLS & SSL
Logon Info     User name - my primary @me.com - & i have also tried [email protected]
                    followed by my usual password, which i have not changed recently.
as you can see I have tried most of the usual combinations of problems & what others are experiencing but i still can not get it to work.
any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Check the port and SSL settings as mentioned in the thread. A little tweaking should get you up and running.
I only changed the smtp settings... left the incoming server settings the same as they were.
outgoing server = p06-smtp.mail.me.com
outgoing port = 587
SSL = yes
outgoing mail requires authentication = yes

Icloud Email Taken

I can't access icloud email. If I click on the mail tab on my iPhone, on icloud.com, or on my Mac, it asks me to create a new @icloud.com email but whenever I do it says "This email address is already taken. Try picking a new one." I have had a .mac/.me email for years and my .icloud email address shows up as an alternative email in my Apple ID account. I am able to log on as my .icloud.com ID but I can't access or use mail.
I know this is wordy and confusing but any help would be appreciated. I have searched on this and other sites for days with few results that have helped or been recent enough to be relevant.
This issue came to my attention as I was trying to figure out I am not receiving invitations to shared calendars from my wife. I wondered if the invitations were being sent to my icloud email rather than the gmail account everything else normally gets set to.

ICloud email stopped working with Outlook

Unable to receive iCloud email in Outlook - was working perfectly for ages and suddenly just quit.
When iCloud email is on, Outlook disconnects so Comcast mail won't even work either. I get a continual pop-up asking for the password for the iCloud email address, even though the password is remembered. If I remove the me.com address and have iCloud Control Panel setup email again, outgoing server works but incoming server does not.
Calendar, Notes, and Contacts are all still working with Outlook and iCloud. All old mail stored in iCloud/iPhone/iPad is unable to be seen on computer now. Very frustrating and annoying since all my old email is in iCloud.
All iCloud is working fine with iPhone, iPad, and iCloud online. Just cannot get mail into my computer where I want to read it as I work all day and want to have a copy stored.
Have searched for an answer and been unable to find this addressed.

Check the port and SSL settings as mentioned in the thread. A little tweaking should get you up and running.
I only changed the smtp settings... left the incoming server settings the same as they were.
outgoing server = p06-smtp.mail.me.com

Setting up iCloud email on Snow Leopard Machine and Outlook

HI, all-
I have an older MacBook Air running Snow Leopard that won't support Lion. I've seen two or three posts out there telling me how to set up my iCloud emial on my non-Lion machine, but none of them are working. Besides multilpe password issues, which I'm not getting anymore, I'm now getting "the server returned the error: The connection to the server p02-imap.mail.me.com on port 143 timed out". Any ideas???
Also-the directions for setting up my IMAP iCloud email in Outlook 2007 are very simple and clear, yet it does not work. During 'test account settings' in the account setup, I'm getting two errors:
1. Log onto incoming mail server (IMAP)-the connection to the server failed
2. Send test email message: None of the authentication methods supported by this client are supported by your sever.
Any help would be appreciated! PS- on my MBAir I'm running OSX 10.6.8
Thanks,
Chris

Port 143 is incorrect, read the instructions contained in the link Julian posted

It seems my iCloud email address is shared by someone else. I am getting their emails, and hate to think they are getting mine. How can I check the exclusivity of the iCloud email address?

I am receiving email belonging to someone else. It appears that the iCloud email address I was allocated is used by someone else, and I hate to think my email is being received by them. What's the way to have Apple iCloud check and see that only one recipient gets an iCloud email address? Thanks, John

This is not a hacked account issue. It seems that this a common issue for many... Apple Mail Engineers, Please Do Something!!! With each iteration of Apple's cloud services, the domain changed. i.e., @mac.com, @me.com and now @icloud.com. It seems Apple's original plan or thought was to let you own the account name across all domains. So, [email protected] will also have the option use the newer @me.com and @icloud.com accounts at the same time (why?). With millions of devices being activated around the world, it seems some already established accounts like [email protected] were allowed to be activated as new accounts under [email protected] or [email protected] by other new iCloud users. I'm having the same problem with my email account and my son's email account. In both cases, the second user is based in Europe (we are in the USA). I've set all my devices to strictly use the [email protected] account. In iCloud settings, I see the option to also use the @me.com and @icloud.com addresses. From time to time, I get emails sent to the [email protected] This is very nerve racking because you don't want to get caught with your pants down or feel that someone other than the NSA is watching your email traffic. We can only hope Apple knows about this and has a way to differentiate accounts via another authentication key assigned to each of your devices. Good luck guys.

HT6030 Since updating my macbook pro to IO X Mavericks, my iCloud email account will not hold its password. Apple support has not been able to suggest a resolution. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Since updating my macbook pro to IO X Mavericks, my iCloud email account will not hold its password. Apple support cannot provide a resolution. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Have you tried - in Mail go to the menu Mail > Preferences.
When the Preferences Pane opens, click on the Accounts Tab.
Click on your iCloud Account to select it.
Click on the Advanced tab.
Set Authentication to Apple Token.
Close the Preference Pane.
