Icloud mail activation

hi everyone,
since 2 days I am trying to activate mail in my icloud pref pane and the answer it's always ( translate from french): " impossible to activate mail now wait a few minutes and try later".
But in the same time i have no problem with my iphone or ipad and both mail and notes are activated without any problem.
Is anyone having a solution for that problem? anyone have already experienced that?
sorry for the english mistakes if there are some, and thank you if you have a solution

Hi Ned,
Where are you seeing this? In a Browser?
I hear Apple had Mail problems recently, is it working now?

I've seen others having problems with a server being down, but I've had no problems yet. And all email providers have problems from time to time. I expect Apple is having minor problems with the transition from MMe to iCloud and I expect it to become stable, even though I've seen few problems.
From my experience, it's been more stable than gmail or att.net. Do what makes you comfortable and no reason not to have both in case one fails.
Unless you're a very unlucky person on a bad server, it may just be a setup issue. Try signing out of iCloud, delete iCloud accounts left in Mail. Delete any password associated with iCloud or MMe or .mac in Keychain for applications, not the website password. Verify your Keychain is OK after with Keychain First Aid.
Then sign back into iCloud and let the server set up the Mail account. The only thing you have to do is check the box to use Mail and iCloud does the account setup. If it doesn't work, then it's a server issue.
As of right now, iCloud system status reports no trouble in the US.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

Not able to active iCloud mail on mac

I am not able to enable iCloud mail on Mac running Mac OS X lion 10.7.2.
When I ticks Emails and Notes in the iCloud setting on my Mac. It says starting for a very long time and then it seem to end okay. But next time I enter the settings again the check mark has dissappeared.
Yesterday I managed to create a me.com email address - when I the first time tried to enable iCloud email.
The new me.com address works fines on the web part of iCloud but not on my Mac and not on my iPhone. Yes iCloud mail is turned on the iPhone.
I can see in the system log that Mac os i trying to enable mail and then disables it again.

I got the coversion email from my me.com account but I cant set up mail on my mac.. it says Valid Apple Id but not valid Icloud account...
I can go to my mobil me /move and get to icloud that way...and do mail ect.... so what gives.. It right on my phone and some what right on the desktop... but still no sync..

After activatin iCloud, my dotMac account wouldn't retrieve mail anymore. It kept saying that my username or password were not good. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn't restore the service.
Here's how I got it working again.
Apparently my 6 letter password is no longer acceptable. You need to update it to an 8 letter password that includes numbers and capital letters.
So I went to https://iforgot.apple.com and asked to reset my password.
Because I could still get my emails logging into iCloud with Safari, I responded to Apple's email, and created a stronger password.
Than I updated the passwords on my computer's Mail program, iPhone, and iPad (and of course everything else, iTunes, etc.).
That was it!
Everything works as normal again, I even was finally able to synchronize calendars over different computers again.
Try it out, it could be your issue as well.

ICloud mail not syncing with Droid RAZR

On July 24th, 2012 iCloud mail stopped syncronizing with my Droid RAZR. My wife and I have identical phones, and have currently active and functional iCloud accounts on Mac. Both of our phones had functional email syncronization before AND AFTER ICS updates. No new dowloands or settings changes have occured. I have ensured that we are using the correct manual settings [email protected], PW, imap settings mail.mac.com, port 993, SSL
I have tried using imap.mail.me.com and that does not work either. I tried the p07- prefix, and that too does not work. The only error it providfes is that it cannot connect to the server, and no other information is provided.
I was on with verizon support, apple support, and motorola support and no one knows what has happened or has any solution.
Have others encountered this problem recently? I have seen postings from last year on this, but nothing recently.
If others have solutions, please post.
Thanks

I had the same problem. Took me a long time to figure out but just got it working with Motorola level 2 support. For some reason the settings changed and they are different settings that what I got to work using the K-9 app. Basically, you need to change the incoming and outgoing server settings from what they were! incoming server is imap.mail.me.com. Use port 993, ssl/tls (accept all certificates) and authentication method should be LOGIN. Outgoing settings should be smtp.mac.com with port 587, require sign-in, authentication method is PLAIN

ICloud Mail has stopped working (iPhone, website, and desktop)

Starting from yesterday, 1 Dec 2011, my iCloud mail no longer works. At first I thought it was a new update to the desktop SMTP and IMAP settings to my software (I use Postbox 3.0, which is based on Thunderbird), but upon further investigation, I see that mail no longer works on the iPhone or on the iCloud.com website. Mail just doesn't work.
I suspect this has something to do with the fact that I have a legacy account ending with @mac.com. I've posted before about my inability to drop the @mac.com from my Apple ID, but that's another story.
It's incredibly frustrating not to have access to this email account. The Calendar and Contacts are still active and accessible, but email is kaput. Has anyone else had this problem? Any help you can offer is appreciated.

Ok, after chatting with an Apple support rep (as in using a chat room and typing back and forth like a bunch of teenage girls) I was able to fix the mail issue.
In the end, all we did was reset the password. Can you believe that?!
Try to change your password first on your own terms, and if that doesn't work, look for the link for a hard reset, perhaps under "Forgot My Password". Unfortunatley, I don't have the links handy. I'm really frustrated and I just wanna go home (after 3 hours).
Let me know if this is helpful for you.

TS3276 How do I cancel an operation in iCloud mail once it has begun?

I have sent an email in icloud mail with too large an attachment. As a result in Account info under quota limits, "[icloud] is calculating sizes" and has been doing so for several hours. Nothing, including restarting my iMac can stop the little circle revolving against icloud in my iMac inbox. Accordingly i am not receiving emails into this inbox but emails seem to be reaching my iphone icloud inbox.

Thanks. I can send emails using iCloud but not receive them on my iMac.
The only activity is "fetching new mail" from iCloud where the blue/white stripe indicator is moving but this has bee the same for some time.
There are no unsent messages in my outbox but I cannot delete the message with the overlarge attachment from the recovered message folder - when I do it reappears.

ICloud Mail seems to be o slow on iPad Mini

Hi, we run iCloud Mail on a MacBook Pro (2010, Mavericks) and on an iPad Mini. For a few days now an mainly in the German evening times we have the problem, that Mail is working so slow, we have to wait for about 15 Minutes for a 7MB mov. The next day it runs fast and okay.
This problem is just on the iPad at the moment, the MacBook Pro is still working fine with iCloud Mail.
The Apple System Stats shows no probs for the moment. But... there are problems :-)
http://www.apple.com/de/support/systemstatus/
The Account shows:
eMail:     [email protected]
serve:     p04-imap.mail.me.com
SMTP:    [email protected] (iCloud)
TLS:       no
Port:     993 with SSL
Security     Apple-Token
IDLE activated
This all was given automatically with the account.
Do you have receving or sending problems, too?
Do you know if there is a Server-Problem at the moment with the iCloud Mail server?
Do you know, what we can do?

You're not alone. I'm in Berlin and I've been having the exact same issues for the past few days. My email kind of worked today but tonight it's basically unusable. I'm on a 100Mbit/s cable Internet connection and I've also tried on my 100Mbit/s Telekom LTE connection - they're both the same. I've monitored the speed that mail is sending/receiving data and - as I'm writing this and trying to download an old message on my iMac via the Mail app - it's downloading at 22Kb/s. I've searched all over the Internet for a solution and 99.9% of people are saying that iCloud is fine for them. In a thread I actually mentioned I'm in Germany because I wondered if there was a problem here. If that is the case, what can we do about it? The iCloud status has been green for the past week. My girlfriend and brother (also both in Berlin) have said their iCloud has been bad since last week too.

ICloud mail in Outlook 2010

I am using Outlook 2010, and messages using my iCloud mail address do not work. Where do I go next since I get a message saying "Send test e-mail message: None of the authentication methods supported by this client are supported by this server".

Try going through the troubleshooting steps under "Troubleshooting with Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)" in this article: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar, especially the part about making sure that the iCloud Outlook add-in is active within Outlook.

After short period of time my messages are disappearing from my Icloud mail account.Why does it happen?Can I restore them back?

I can't understand my Icloud mail behavior.All messages I sent are stored in sent box as usual whereas messages I receive are disappearing after short period of time (no more then 2 weeks).Why does it happen?Do I have any chance to restore them?

Unfotunately I'm not eligable for MAC support over the phone and have to take it in to the Genius Bar. Hmmmpf.
But I was able to isolate the errors (using Console) that occurred just prior to the network failing:

Icloud mail settings

Why is my outgoing server name 'greyed out'?

Thanks for your reply. I have a previous MobileMe mail account (@me.com), which is still active, and already installed as a Mail account on my iPhone and iPad. The problem is when I go into the iCloud settings - everything except Mail and Notes is turned on, but if I try to turn Mail or Notes on, the message is "create a free @me.com email address to turn on iCloud mail." At this point, the only options are "create" or "cancel." Does this mean that I have to create a 2nd @me.com address? If I do this, what happens to the original one?

Excessive Incoming Mail Activity

I have 5 email addresses that I monitor through Mail, 3 are IMAPs and 2 POP (which are not changeable). Whenever I open the Mail program, under Mail activity it periodically shows "Incoming messages" sometimes numbering in the 10s of thousands (one time it was trying to download 40,000!). I do not receive or send even close to that kind of quantity of emails. I have two questions --
1) Where are they going? (They don't appear to be going into any mailboxes)
2) How can I stop them? (As I don't want 40,000 unidentified emails saved anywhere on my computer)
Thanks in advance for you help.

iCloud incoming/outgoing settings cannot be changed they are assigned automatically. What you can do is quick the mail application, go into System Preferences > iCloud > Uncheck mail (which will remove the account) and then recheck (which will re add the account). Before doing that rebuild would be a good idea also, be sure to open Window > Activity to see when it's done.
Did this. Did not work. Very very unhappy about Mail in this OS X release.

ICloud Mail and other Email Accounts

I searched the discussion and I couldn't find a solution to my problem so I am hoping that someone on here has found a way to fix this iCloud issue.
On my MobileMe account that I had before iCloud I had the mail set up to access all of my other Email accounts (6) in total. worked great never had a problem and I had one source for all of my Emails. I understand this is not the way iCloud works but here is my problem.
I migrated my MobileMe account to ICloud and for some reason it still kept accessing all of my other Email accounts and consolidating them in my ICloud mail. (no I do not have the other accounts set to forward to iCloud, iCloud was accessing them and downloading the messages.) Now about a week ago that all stopped. When I checked on the discussions here I realized that iCloud was not suppose to work with the other Email accounts but for some strange reason it did for a while. That is fine, I then setup all of my Email accounts on my iPhone, iPad and Mac as IMAP accounts and everything was working fine again.
Today for some unknown reason iCloud is accessing my accounts again and I just received hundreds of unread Emails (the last few days worth) from my other Email accounts. I understand there is no way to access your Email settings on iCloud but has anyone had a simialar problem, and if so how the heck do you get that link to the other Email accounts out of iCloud mail. I am considering just cancelling or deleting my iCloud account and setting up a new one if I can't find a way to fix this, it maybe my only option.

I'm having the same issue and it's driving me nuts.
For those who don't understand the question, here's the deal. Prior to the unveiling of iCloud, MobileMe users had a feature available of pulling email from other, non-MobileMe pop accounts into their MobileMe inbox. There was a setup screen under preferences within MobileMe that allowed you to specify the server, username, password, etc for non-MobileMe accounts. Once set up, the incoming email from those account(s) would be delivered into your MobileMe inbox. Forwarding did NOT need to be set up in the other accounts (in fact, if it was, you'd get everything twice). Once set up, you could even color code incoming messages based on which account they were delivered from.
I personally set up three other email accounts this way as it was convienet to check all my email in one in box. Nice.
So.... here's the issue. When MobileMe migrated to iCloud, the FUNCTION described above migrated over too and REMAINED IN EFFECT, but the ability to MANAGE THE FUNCTION and modify the other accounts went away. So, anyone who had other email accounts set up (like I have) is still receiving email from those accounts into our iCloud inboxes, but we have no ability to manage those other accounts. If you want to stop the delivery of email from one or more of the other accounts, you can't. If you want to adjust the settings of any of the other accounts, you can't. If the username or password for one of the other accounts changes, then the delivery breaks and you can't fix it. You can't influnce how this feature behaves at all because the settings interface has been taken away.
It's extrememly frustrating to have a "feature" active that you can't manage or turn off.
Hey Apple... HELP!
