ICloud email with Mozilla Thunderbird or Outlook 2011

Ever since I migrated to iCloud I haven't been able to get my email to work in Mozilla Thunderbird. I've tried Outlook 2011 as well, which seems to work fine on my macbook, but not on my other mac or even my windows VMs. The account won't work in Thunderbird on my macbook either.
I've tried just about everything. I've tried deleting my old profile in Thunderbird and starting from scratch, I've tried different servers (Mail.app says I'm on p99-imap.mail.me.com), different ports, usernames, etc. I've even tried changing my password, but all that's resulted in is my Apple Account password changing but my iCloud password didn't (no idea how this happened).
I'm getting really frustrated. My whole contact list is in Thunderbird, and I really don't like how Mail.app works.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

yep, been there and done that. thanks for the bump tho
edit: tried suggestions from this thread also to no avail: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16359150

I am unable to sync my iCloud email with the built in Windows 8.1 mail app

I can not sync my iCloud email with the built in Windows 8.1 mail app. I've looked on Apple's website and followed instructions for entering the mail settings but every single time I have tried it will not connect. Any ideas?

This windows 8 app can sync with iCloud/Google calendar.

Configuring iCloud email with Outlook 2010 and Gmail

Hello All,
I have created a new iCloud email (@me.com) and I want to know how I can use it NOT only on my iPhone and iPad but also on my outlook 2010 and on my Gmail account.
I use Outlook 2010 in my office and home, I use Gmail when I am on the go. My Gmail is also configured in my Outlook so basically I have all my accounts on Gmail and I just use Outlook's interface.
I want my iCloud to be on it as well. Obviously I want it to be and IMAP type of configuration so I can see all the emails on my iPhone, iPad, Outlook 2010 and Gmail!!!!
Can you please tell me where I can find relevant information on those configuration?
Thank you,
YoYo

this is sad, 7 months of no answers from the apple folks. Hello support?

Slow attachment upload with Exchange Web Services (Outlook 2011 for Mac?)

We're experiencing slow attachment upload with Exchange Web Services versus MAPI, OWA, and Outlook Anywhere. I'm not totally certain that it is Exchange Web Services or specifically Outlook 2011 for Mac. I attempted to test with the Mac Mail
App, but it makes it difficult to tell when the attachment has been uploaded and the file has been sent. Here's what we're seeing (10mb file):
MAPI / RPC/HTTPS / OWA: 10-15 seconds upload time
Exchange Web Services (Outlook 2011 for Mac): 60-90 seconds upload time
Thoughts? Any idea why we would see such a drastic difference in attachment upload time? Any way to prove definitively that it is Exchange Web Services vs. Outlook 2011 for Mac? We've tried it from multiple locations with multiple different machines,
and although the upload times vary (some locations have more bandwidth etc) the ratios remain similar.

Hi ,
Does all the user occurred the issue ?
If only special user, I recommend you do the following steps and test:
1.Remove and re-add the email account and check if this helps to resolve the issue.
To remove and add the email accounts:
Open Outlook > GO to Tools > Accounts > Click on "Minus" symbol to remove and "Plus" to add an Email account.
2.Creating a new user profile:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2439218/
3. If the issue persists, rebuild the data base and check the results:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2360509
You can also post it on Office for MAC forum to get special support about the difference between Outlook and Outlook for MAC.

TS4002 Cannot send/receive iCloud email with Mail

About a week ago I stopped being able to send/recieve icloud email via mail on my iMac. Everything is correct in my settings except the incoming server information. Mail defaults to p03-imap.mail.me.com, and will not let me select or edit this option. I know all my other settings work correctly because I can access iCloud email via my iPhone, iPad and a Windows 7 laptop running Thunderbird. However my iMac is my primary computer and I would like to get this issue corrected. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am trying to determine the reason that the Mail program has stopped working with iCloud. All of my settings are correct, and have been verified as working with another application (Thunderbird), and work on hand held devices (iPhone and iPad), but will not work within Mail. The only thing I could find that didn't match the referenced online materials was the p03- portion of the IMAP server address. If you have any suggestions, I'm happy to listen to them.

Mail crashes when viewing emails with attachments sent from outlook

This problem is intermittent -- and I have a hard time reproducing it consistently. This crash seems to creep up every two weeks.
When I click on an email that was sent from outlook that contains an attachment (usually word documents), mail immediately closes and I get the "mail unexpectedly quit, do you want to reopen?" message.
The only data loss is if I had any opened drafts that had not been sent, and mail does not keep any draft windows open. However, this is frustrating for my particular work flow, because I usually keep 10-20 drafts neatly tiled on my second monitor, so that I can quickly look at emails that are currently in my pipeline. I can go back into the drafts folder and re-open, but the drafts open in new windows at the default size, not small and tiled the way I like. .Mac also has a tendency to create and save duplicate drafts, so I have 100 drafts, despite only caring about 20 of them. I try to go through and delete old drafts once a month, but it's tedious. Going through and fishing out the current 20 drafts is annoying after this crash.
So I'm trying to figure out a way to avoid this crash. I read on a forum that this might be a problem with emails that are formated in HTML, and that I could use the terminal to force mail to display plain text by default. I used the following string:
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE
I was expecting this to force every incoming email to be the same default plain text font, but it only seems to disable emails with heavy HTML with images and what not...
Any ideas about how to avoid this crash? Every time this happens I close mail and repair permissions, but it always happens again.
One additional note -- I have 5 accounts, and my inbox is very big (over 12,000 emails). Is this part of the problem?

Unable to read email with mozilla firefox. The online graphics are missing and the links are unable to be accessed when I try to click on them

Having issues with being able to assess my email on Mozilla Firefox. When I sign in, the graphics are missing. Once I'm logged in, the inbox is not there. Some thing is wrong graphically. There are work links for inbox and contacts, but they are all flushed to the left of the screen. When I attempt to click on them, nothing happens. I have tried to remove Firefox and then reinstall it but the same thing happens. I also attempted to reset firefox to its default state and that did not work either. I check plug ins and most are up to date. However, not clear for window presentation foundation is and if it was necessary to have. The plug in state was unknown. Please advise on what to do? Thanks!

Send Email with HTML format in Outlook Macro

I can use the following to send email with HTML format in VBA. I also have created an HTML file. Is there a way to load the file into .HTMLBody to send it as HTML format message?
    Set OutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set objMail = OutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    With objMail
       .BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
       .HTMLBody = "<HTML><BODY>Enter the message text here. </BODY></HTML>"
       .Display
    End With

Try:
Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim htmlFile As Scripting.TextStream
Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set htmlFile = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\path\to\my-html-file.htm")
strInsert = htmlFile.ReadAll
then change:
.htmlbody = strInsert
oh, and you need to set a reference to the Scripting runtime in Tools, References.

Delete created then deleted icloud email folders from thunderbird emial program

I have different folders and subfolders in my iCloud email account over a long period of time. I can go into years of history of why but I don’t think that is neither important nor relevant. Suffice to say I installed my iCloud acct on thunderbird email and the folders and subfolders always automatically installed below main inbox. As I changed my folders and subfolders due to way too many and tried to reduce all these folders it worked fine in my apple iCloud emails accounts. In tbird, not so much. The folders I deleted after moving the emails that were there to different new folders tbird iCloud autoed the new folders and left the old that will not delete, change, move nor rename. I get the message that the folder is NONEXISTENT from tbird from iCloud each time I try. I just don’t seem to be able to find a solution to resolve this problem and maybe there is not one. If I have to delete the iCloud acct from tbird, so be it. I guess I can move any and all emails to some other non iCloud acct, delete iCloud, reinstall iCloud and hope all previous emails are not lost in the process. Also, one last question here I have always forgotten to ask. I often leave my iCloud email address when I enroll in something. Sometimes (maybe all the time) I get 2 copies of the email sent to the iCloud acct. is there a reason for double copies I do not know about?

How to preview the first 4 lines of an unopened email in my inbox for outlook 2011 for mac

how to turn on email preview in outlook 2011 for mac.
I had this done in outlook for PC but can't find how to do it on the mac.

Hi,
As far as I know, the message preview feature is not available in Outlook 2011 for Mac. Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook for Windows, you can post a question in the Outlook for Mac forum to confirm this:

UAG problems with OSX - same problem with Mac Mail and Outlook 2011 (via EWS)

Hi folks,
I'm trying to fix the last snagging issue I have with OSX clients in a UAG / Exchange 2010 deployment:
When trying to connect Mac Mail or Outlook 2011 the connections are very slow to start up, both at initial config and thereafter.
On connection I see lots of the same error re Session Cookies in UAG and no connection in the mail client. If I leave it for a few minutes, sometime many minutes, the errors stop and I eventually get a working connection.
The error is:
"Sesson Attempted to Access Restricted Application"
User with source IP address x.x.x.x tried to access application Exchange EWS that was restricted that was restricted for the session. This might indicate an intrusion attempt by misusing the session cookie.
Has anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this ?
Many thanks
Steve

Ruud, no, we didn't find a solution, or rather our solution (so far) is to tell users not to use Mac Mail and to use Outlook 2011 instead, which seems to work fine (after some Office updates!)...and we haven't upset anyone with that requirement
(yet).
There are some very long discussions on Apple support forums about the whole Mavericks / Mac Mail / Exchange 2010 issues.
I do hope to have another go at this problem sometime soon, I'm sure there must be a solution (and my money says it relates our hardware load balancers).

Using BT email with Android & Thunderbird

Is it possible to use BT email with Thunderbird and to set up the bt email address on my android mobile?
Do I need any settings at all?
Thanks

It won't work with Thunderbird. Says username/password incorrect.
Hi.
I use thunderbird without any proiblem.
I personally don't let TB set up my email address configuration, and do it myself.
Things to check in the TB account setting :-
1. Name - doesn't really matter
2. Email address - make sure that it's your full @btinternet.com email address
3. (Server settings) - server name: mail.btinternet.com, port 110 / username - can be the whole @btinternet.com email address
security settings - Connection security - None, Password authentication Password, transmitted insecurely
That's for incoming mail.
