ICloud email not working on iMac

Hi,
I have been through many of the discussions here on the support page and everything people suggested have not worked for me. Unless I have missed a critical point.
Has anyone come up with a solution for why apple mail on iMac just stops working. The one day it was working and the next day I logged in I receive an error
"There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “[email protected]” or try again. The server returned the error: The connection to the server “p04-imap.mail.me.com” on port 993 timed out."
I have removed the account and added it again via settings but still no luck. Even tried to change the port. My network settings have not changed, so I dont understand what the issue is.
PS: it works fine on ipad and my iphone
Any suggestions?

This is how I solved it:
Mail
Preferences
Accounts
iCloud account
Advanced
Deselect Use SSL
The port changed automatically from 993 to 143, and it now works again.

    Get message - Outgoing server failed.
    Problem started last night.
    I'm in Northern California.
    Never had this problem before, dont know what to do next.

    I still can't make it work on the iPhone5 or iPad.
    I can't figure out how to switch outgoing servers on the iP5 or iPad.
    On the MBPro I can use a different outgoing server and it works.

  • Icloud emails not working in fact rubbish

    Are any body else having problems with icloud emails on their macs? To be honest since the change over from mobileme the icloud setup is pants. I rarely had problems with mobileme and it offered so much more ie websites through iweb and picture galleries. Today I have been unable to send a message, it keeps crashing. In the end gave up. A few months ago my mac email account removed itself from my mail programme, when the icloud system was put in place. For me icloud is a retrograde step and far inferior from previous systems. Thoughts?

    I use an imac intel with operating system 10.6.8. I only access my emails using the web as the mail on my mac removed my mac (mobileme/icloud) account when moving to the new system. I access icloud on my mac and PC at work using the web. Both routinely give me problems far more frequently than the old mobileme mail, often logging me out being very slow and not responding. Basically fed up with it at the moment. It also seems to occur at the same time of the day, using the work PC going offline around 11am to 2pm. So I kind of feel that the problem is icloud. But very much open to ideas and suggestions. Many thanks

  • ICloud Email not working with Outlook 2013

    I'm trying to set up my iCloud email on my Outlook 2013, using this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    But it keeps asking me for smtp password, even though the password is right.
    Anyone help please?

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

  • I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

  • Share photos by email not working. Brings up grayed out check box? Want to share photos thru Entourage.

    @Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
    UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
    Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
    You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
    Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
    Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
    Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
    IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
    You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
    Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
    I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

  • ICloud mail not working. I can send but cannot receive. Is the system down?

    iCloud mail not working. I can send but cannot receive. Is the system down?

    Same here. I can send mails from iCloud.com Webmail, but cannot receive.
    A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of
    its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address
    failed:
    "[email protected]":
    SMTP error from remote server after RCPT command:
    host: mx1.icloud.com.akadns.net
    5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: [email protected]
    On iOS 6 device I can't receive, neither send mails.

    However, if I change to @me.com, everything works fine.

    You don't. Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Instead of creating a new ID, change the primary email address on your existing ID.

  • HT3669 HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.

    HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.
    I would like to print via the USB connection instead of wireless (the wireless does work, and the scanner works via USB).
    I tried connecting the printer directly (via USB) to my MacBook Pro laptop and it worked just fine.
    How can I make this printer work on my iMac?
    I spent 4 hours on the phone with HP and we did every combination of installation of drivers ad nausum and their bottom line is that it is a Mac problem.
    Any help would be appreciated. Will be sending this printer back to Amazon if I can't make it work on the USB.
    I am open to questions or suggestions
    Thanks,
    Chet

    After 4 hours on the phone with HP and another hour with Apple (Mavericks support) no real solution other than check everything (removed everything from Login Items, removed all HP software anywhere in the system reboot, reinstall printer) then when nothing worked for the 4500, did an OS Reinstall (boot with CMD+R).
    The Mavericks support group did open an incident (# 542875311) and I will update it when I figure out how to find it on the system.
    My feel is that the base problem is that somewhere between the HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.49-2 package and the Apple HP Printer software in the Library (version 2.16.1) the app for printing via the USP Port just does not get installed for the mid 2007 20 inch iMac. The scanner is recognized on the USB Port and the Printer works fine on Wi-Fi. I have too many devices to burden my home network with anothe device. Also, every time I put any HP Printer on Wi-Fi, my router (Netgear N600 WNDR3400 running 12 to 20 devices depending on who is home) gets wonky (but that's anothe story...).
    Additionally, when I attach the HP Envy 4500 to my MacBook Pro (2010) it works perfect - print and scan via the USB prot and both functions show in the System Preferences - Printers and Scanners just as expected and just as the 3050 does.

  • Icloud is not working on my macbook pro

    icloud is not working on my macbook pro and works on both my ipad and my iphone. Not sure why this is, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

    Yes it has been turned on in system preferences. I've even signed out & signed back in to trouble shoot & the problem still exists. The problem is — while browsing in Safari, I'll hit the iCloud tab on my MacBook Pro & it will be blank, showing nothing opened on the other devices. Then I'll check the other device sitting next to me & they have web pages opened & their iCloud works. Not sure what is wrong, prob need to call Apple...

  • ICloud will not work. Error upon PC Boot Entry Point sqlite3_wall_checkpoint could not be located. How do I fix?

    iCloud will not work on my PC.  When I boot my PC I get an error saying, "The Procedure Entry Point sqlite3_wall_checkpoint in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll".  How do I fix this?

    I'd first try uninstalling and reinstalling your MobileMe control panel, dc. Does that clear the message up?
