Icloud email problem

I am using icloud email on my Mac Mail client. Problem is that i can receive emails but cannot send any mail while i m in Dubai region.. i am using the default settings which icloud configured... and the same settings work while i am in other country.. it gives an error to select an outgoing smtp server.
The issue remains even after i tried different smtp settings as suggested on google
smtp.mail.me.com
p06-smtp.mail.me.com
and similar servers
Thanks

I am receiving my .me email on my ipad and iphone - both upgraded to ios 5.1, but suddenly stopped receiving .me email on my Macbook Pro (10.6.8). The processor on my laptop will not allow me to upgrade to Lion. I have been receiving .me email on my Macbook for the past month after moving to icloud. 
You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

  • Transfer MobileMe to iCloud - email problem

    I transferred from MobileMe to iCloud yesterday
    I am using the same .mac address but have changed my AppleID to this as suggested
    I now see an iCloud account on all my devices (iMac, iPhone and iPad2)
    I receive emails but the inbox only holds one or two messages and then seems to shift them direct to Archive
    I can't read archive file on the regular Mail programme - only by going to iCloud.com.
    I have not instituted any rules on iCloud but it seems to be behaving as if I have?
    Any ideas??

    Same bloody thing here.  I've gotten several different errors.  iCal invites won't sync from mail to my calendar.  My password hasn't changed, I've logged onto iCloud, no problem.  Why did't Apple just create a .cloud email addy?  On top of this, since Lion, I've seen more spinning coloured wheels and just frozen apps than I care to see.  I'm thinking all of this was shoved out the door before it was ready.  I regret the upgrade and am seriously thinking of a reinstall to SL.  Starting to think I am dealing with Windows.  Since the update to the ios, I've lost a chunk of my email.  I'm sick of these issues.  Please give me software that will allow my Mac Pro and super HS connection work for me.  Gawd.

  • AOL and iCloud email problem - any ideas?

    Hey everyone!
    I have three email accounts — gmail, aol and iCloud (which migrated from mobileme).  Recently only the gmail will work in Apple mail on my iMac.  I have attempted to remove the accounts in system preferences under mail contacts and calendars and add them back but it's failing.  With AOL, it says Connection failed. This also happens if I use outlook for mail instead of Apple Mail.  With iCloud, all services will turn on except Mail/Notes.  It will look like it's on then you browse away from the setup window and go back and it's been turned off. 
    I've been reading about issues with iCloud mail, but am confused now with the AOL issue as well, which I haven't seen listed anywhere.
    So far, I have created a new user and the problem persists.  I also installed a fresh copy of lion over my copy (not an erase and install, just a reinstall leaving my files in tact).  When I attempt this on my MacBook running 10.7.2, I have neither problem.  All my accounts work perfectly.
    I'd apppreciate any suggestions you might have!

    I just wanted to update this in hopes someone can recommend a solution.
    I erased my drive today and tested it and it worked. I restored from a time machine backup and it stopped working.  Then I erased again, verified it was working and manually placed my files back on the machine.  After reinstalling all my store, it stopped again. Clearly, there's something installed in the system that is conflicting with the mail setup. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. The problem persists on other uses on the machine, so it isn't user specific.

  • ICloud email problems...

    hi....have a problem ! My email that I used for my I cloud was hacked ..I have a new email address now but how can i change it on my I cloud ? Do I have to set up a new iCloud and if so what happens to all my stuff in the old account ?

    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
    Your contents and data will not be affected. They will disappear from your devices when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in (allow time for this to complete).

  • How can I fix my icloud email problems?

    My e-mails are not loading properly when I click on them - they just look blank until I hit reply. How should I fix this?

    need password for old apple id to delete
    That is correct. That is Activation Lock, the antitheft feature of the iPhone. Only the person who registered the old Apple ID and has the password can unlock it.

  • HT4864 Thank you! This may sound lame but are these instructions for the blackberry? I'm receiving iCloud emails without problems on my MacBook Pro and I'd rather not mess w/ settings there.

    You don't need to start a new thread to continue a conversation, you can just tack onto the original one. The settings I referred you to are for the Blackberry, since that's the device which is not receiving mail: anything which is working can be left alone.

  • I have a problem. My Apple ID is not my icloud email address my Apple ID is my msn account, but I need to reset the password for my icloud email because I can't remember what it is. How do I do that?

    I have a problem. My Apple ID is not my iCloud email, my msn is my Apple ID, but I need to reset the password for my icloud email address because I can't remember what it is. How can do I reset my iCloud emaill password when it's not my Apple ID??

    Your iCloud and @icloud.com login ID is an Apple ID. Go to http://appleid.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use to sign into iCloud (you can check this by going to http://www.icloud.com and signing in there).
    Click 'Password & Security' in the sidebar and you will be able to change the password.
    HOWEVER
    Before you do this you must turn off 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' if you have it enabled on any of your devices, otherwise you will land yourself in difficulties.

  • Problem setting up an iCloud email

    I'm trying to set up an iCloud email on my iPad.  I typed in the email address that I would like to use.  When I hit DONE it says "there was a problem turning on your email.  Please try again later"
    It's been doing this for the past 2 days.

    Do you have an apple id? If not at bottom of icloud will say create a free icloud account and just follow the steps. If you already have an apple id you need to turn on notes or mail in icloud and it will prompted you to create a free @icloud.com attached to your current apple id. If you get error message or stop on a screen tell us so we can help. Also you can always check with apple because they make the apple ids, if you needed to. This webpage talks all about icloud accounts http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html. Also you may want to look at this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436 for icloud FAQ.

  • Problem creating iCloud email address

    I am attempting to create an iCloud email address. When I enter the address and click OK, I get the drop down window that asks me if I want to create the address and it warns me that I cannot change the address after creating it. I click create and it takes me back to the previous screen that asks me to create an address and the address I previously entered is still there. When I click OK, it repeats the whole process all over again.
    Anyone else have this problem and know the solution?
    Thanks.

    El Morche, I think the problem is that Apple's suggestions are bad! They included: <firstinitial>.<commonlastname>@icloud.com.
    As soon as I tried again using a very unusual username (that I was sure would be unique), the registration succeeded.
    Thanks geaux86 for the tip!

    delete mailbox - how else do you propose to do that. Unless by "deleting mailbox" you mean something else.

  • Problem saving email preferences for new iCloud email address

    I was trying to enter a new email address for iCloud in the Apple Mail program and after clicking save I receive the following message,"Writing your preferences to disk has failed. Your preferences may not have been saved. The permissions on ~/Library/Preferences may be wrong or your disk may be fullI'  I know the disk is not full on my new MacBook Pro. I went into LIbrary/Preferences but could not find the mail preferences.
    The preferences have not been saved because every I time I start the computer the new email is missing from my email preferences.
    Thanks for your help.

    While you can't currently change your Apple ID to a Mobile/iCloud email address, I found a solution that helps with a related problem.
    Suppose you've recently got an iCloud email address, but Apple are still sending all your iTunes Store, App Store and Mac App Store receipts to your old gmail address (the one that's still your Apple ID). And suppose they're also sending all the Apple Support Communities notifcation emails to your old gmail address. How do you change it? How do you fix it?
    Well the option exists, but it is hidden away in a weird place. To get Apple sending all of their receipts and notifications to your new iCloud email address...
    • Go to your country's Apple Store website http://store.apple.com/
    • Click on the Account button in the top-right corner
    • Under Account Settings, click on Change your default shipping or billing info
    • Sign in with your usual Apple ID and password
    • The email address listed under Payment Information is the key
    • Click on Edit next to Payment Information and change that email address to your iCloud address
    That's all you have to do.

  • ICloud email sync problem on mac os x mavericks

    Hi,
    I have a serious problem with my iCloud email on my mac. I have been using iCloud email for few years now and I never had this problem. But I am having the problem after upgrading my iMac to latest mac os x mavericks 10.9.3 couple of months back.
    The problem is, when someone sends me an email, it comes to my iCloud mail immediately with no issues. That means if I login to my iCloud mail through a web browser, I see the email there. But that email may not appear to my iMac mailbox. Occasionally some emails arrive but some not. Some emails come lately some not at all.
    So the mailbox on my mac is totally unusable because I am sure not all emails are seen there, so I have to keep logging into mail through browser to check if there is a new email.
    I am using me.com email address.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.
