TS4002 iCloud for email is not on my Mac. How can I get email and iCal to sync with iphone and ipad.

iCloud for email is not on my Mac. It should be under Internet and wireless in System Preferences but it is not. Basically I am trying to get iCloud running successfully on my Mac for email and Calendar so that it will sync with my iPad and iPhone. I was an MobilMe customer and I've been having trouble with this conversion to iCloud. Thanks.

I too was a mobileme user and have just migrated to iCloud on mackbook pro w/OS 10.7.4. Transition caused my sent mailboxes to rearrange themselves so that I have no comprehensive 'sent' mailbox as I did previously and the view on both incoming and outgoing mailboxes keeps rearranging itself no matter how many times I set preferences. One result is that search function no longer works. Is anyone else having problems like this? All was fine for a week after transition but after having an evening when my password was repeatedly rejected I had to log in and out of iCloud (as directed by tech support) and w/in an hour or so the mailbox problem began.

HT4759 I'm having trouble opening icloud for emails and composing emails on PC

Having trouble opening emails and composing emails in icloud for PC. What could be the problem?

See the post by jmb667 in this thread for instructions to fix everything. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16410330#16410330
Then, if you’re using iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes, don’t also sync them to your device using iTunes. I use iCloud and have no sync selections selected in the iTunes Info panes for my iDevices.

In icloud for email, how do I set preferences to make copy 18 pt and to automatically cc emails to my own addy?

This is far more confusing than I want it to be. I want to set the preferences on my icloud email so the body type is 18 pt. And I want to automatically cc all emails I send to my email addy so I have a copy. I was set up to do this before I was forced to swithchover to icloud. How do I make these preference changes? Also, is their an auto spell check? If so, how do I turn that on? It's apparentlllly nottt working on this postttt. And I might as well ask this question, too, as I kinda stumbled into this. Now that I am on iclound, will I have to do anything with the photos on my computer that I have saved in iphoto? And does someone actually answer these questions?

To alter the font, in the composing screen click the Show format bar icon. A
Adjust format for this email.

Do I have to pay just to use iCloud for email?

I've used Gmail for about almost 4 years now. I cleaned out my inbox and plan on doing away with Gmail and waant to use Apple's email service, making it my new primary email (for Facebook, new Apple ID, etc.). But do I have to pay to use the email service? I don't need the storage for my purchased items on iTunes.
Also what are the benefits of iCloud email?

You get 5GB of free storage and a free email account with an iCloud account.
iCloud email is an IMAP account, which means it syncs between all your devices and keeps your mail organised in the same way on each.

HT201342 what is the benefit to using @icloud for email

Just wondering what the benefit is to using @icloud.com vs @me.com?

None, really. It's just an additional address that you can use if you want. Email sent to either address arrives in the same inbox. Apple is no longer providing @me or @mac email addresses, and is transitioning to @icloud going forward so they're giving existing iCloud users the new address as an option.

Can an older ios device use iCloud for email?

I have an iPhone with ios 5. I am a MobileMe user. My wife uses an older ipod touch to check our email. Will she still be able to check and send email on that older ipod touch? If so, how can I set it up? I am reluctant to make the move because of it. (I don't care about the photo streaming or anything else on the touch, just email.)

Push: When an email is received it is instantaneously sent to your devices (no waiting).
Fetch: You must retrieve the message yourself either by opening the mail app or on a routine basis (every 5 min, 15 min, hour) which is set in settings.
As far as I know, push uses more battery power but it is not a significant drain. However, if you are trying to squeeze every possible second out of your device you should set your email to fetch and set it for manual (meaning you would have to open the Mail app in order to check to see if you have any new email.
Personally, I'd set everything to push. That way everything is synchronized across all devices automatically.

ICloud on email

I have had iCloud for email for over a year. All of a sudden it would not work and defaulted to Mobileme. I tried setting it up as a new account in Mail Preferences, but that did not seem to work. I am in a puzzlement.

Your signature says you are on 10.6.8 - is this correct? If so your best bet is probably to remove the account from Mail and set it up from scratch following the procedure detailed here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

You can't merge accounts. Just continue to use your Yahoo ID for iTunes, and your iCloud ID for everything else.

I recently changed my iCloud account because someone stole my last phone and changed all my passwords for both my iCloud and emails account. So when I changed my account I accedently erased all my contacts is there anything I can do? (It wasn't backup)

I'd say your best bet is to try to regain access to your old account. Call 1-800-MY-APPLE, and ask to talk to the account security team. Hopefully they can verify you are the account owner, and then reset the password for you.

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.

I cant access icloud, my email address has changed recently and I cant use any emails and passwords or set up a new id, cant get hold of apple support for help, very frustrated!

I can not access icloud, my email address changed a while ago none of my email addresses and passwords work, I have tried to get a new password but that dosent work!, tried to contact apple support, no luck there either! What can I do?

If you are trying 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 iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going 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 iDevice 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.

My iCloud for windows is syncing email and notes with my MS Outlook 2013 on windows 8 but NOT contacts and calendar

Dear, I have downloaded and installed iCloud for windows and see that a user has been auto setup in my MS Outlookvia imap. I can now sync email and notes.I cannot sync icloud contacts and calendar with my MS Outlook, can you help me with this?

iCloud hosts the calendars on its server and your various computers read them from there. The protocol for doing this is called CalDAV.
Outlook for Mac has not been equipped with the programming for CalDAV and therefore cannot access iCloud calendars. Outlook for Windows evidently has and can.
This is something only Microsoft can rectify and you could send them feedback suggesting they do this with all convenient speed.
Outlook on a Mac can only access calendars living under 'On My Mac' and these cannot sync with iCloud. iCal can sync with iCloud provided you have 1-.7.2 or higher.
