Icloud mail is not set up in outlook

I am helping someone who never got Outlook and iCloud talking. They have Outlook 2007 and Windows Vista. They have iCloud 2.1.3. They have an iPhone 4s with IOS 7. There is an iCloud folder in Outlook, but it is empty.
In iCloud on my PC, I get the message "icloud Mail is not set up in Outlook". Under the message is another message I can click on "Set up [email protected] in Outlook" where myname is the first part of the email i am using in Outlook ([email protected]). I have "Contacts, Calendars, & Tasks with Outlook" checked. I click on the "Set up..." message and then I get "Setting Up..." with a spinning wheel next to "Contacts, Calendars, & Tasks with Outlook", The "Setting Up..." has been there overnight, so I think something is wrong.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Use the settings from this article and attempt to set it up manually

ICloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion

I note that iCloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion even if I tick mail in Icloud then close system preferences then open system preferences and it is untiked again?
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Cheers
Paul

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

ICloud mail does not reconnect in Mail application on MacBook Pro after disconnecting and reconnecting iPhone or after sleep

iCloud mail does not reconnect in Mail on my MacBook Pro after sleep or after disconnecting and reconnecting my iPhone. This only happens when I use my iPhone as a 3G-modem and not when I am on Wi-Fi. The only solution seems to be to quit the Mail-application and restart it again. Then Mail reconnects to iCloud.

Hi horstp,
Given your description of the issue (works on other Macs), it may be worth trying to set up that account by itself in a new test user on the iMac to see if it can be isolated to a user-specific file. You may find the following article helpful:

HT204053 Is it possible to have two (or more) different icloud mail accounts (not alias) under the same apple id? If not what is you best advice for all family members to have their own e-mail and still share the purchases under the same apple id. Thanks

There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that. You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.
mannyace wrote:
Thanks for the response.
Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
Unlikely. But nothing is impossible. Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

I took my iMac to be fixed and when i got it back, mail was not set up. I called Apple Support and they helped me set up mail. Then the emails went to trash on the iMac and on the MacBook Pro (same emails). There are no numbers by the 'inbox' to tell how

I took my iMac to be fixed and when I got it back, mail was not set, so I called Apple and they helped me set up mail. Now the new mail goes to trash and there is no number by the 'inbox' to tell me how many new messages I have. I cannot save a draft to 'drafts.' There is a large number by 'trash' (I think all mail went to trash - including drafts). When I send myself an emai, it goes to trash also. This is on both my iMac (the one taken in) and my MacBook Pro (same emails) which was not taken in.
I went to 'rules' but have no idea what to do there. There are no rules in the rule box. When I click 'add rule' it puts 'rule 1' in the rule box, but since that was not there when I took it in, I delete it to have an empty rule box.
Can someone pleasehelp me. I am completely stupid with all this. Do not under stand what is suppose to be set up in 'rules.'
Thank you so much,
Arudi

Now new mail is coming to both computer's inboxes but there is no number on the stamp icon on dock to show number of emails on the iMac. Nor is there a number by either email address under MAILBOXES/inbox (sidebar) on the iMac. This number is showing on MacBook Pro.
I also can save drafts now on both computers.
Seems the Pro is fixed and the iMac is only missing the numbers on dock icon and by addresses in inbox.
Now that the problem is less, I feel i am wasting your time but will continue so maybe I can get those numbers back.
Two emails > AT&T email and gmail.
Apple's Mail program for email - yes, and gmail.
IMAP for both accounts.
Did not change mail configuration on MacBook.
The iMac and MacBook Pro have the same mail configuration except in Accounts/mailbox behaviours/store draft messages on the server was not marked on MacBook > it is now.
'Store junk messages on the server' was marked on one computer for gmail, but is unmarked on both now.
On the iMac, Accounts/Accounts info/Outgoing mail for gmail is smtpgmail.
On the MacBook Pro for gmail it is smpt.gmail.com (plus) my email address.
Rules/Add rule window, on the MacBook third line is 'Any Recipient', on the iMac third line is 'From."
The last box on that line has my email address on the MacBook.
The last box on that line has the last address I sent an emil to (last night), on the iMac.
On the last line on iMac, no box was selicted for 'to mailbox' > I choose 'inbox' because it is on the MacBook Pro.
Now I have a Rule #1 and am not sure I should have because there was no rules marked when I took the computer in.
Thank you. I relized I had done the labeling wrong when so much of my question appeared twice and no one else's did. I know how to do it now.
Thank you so much,
Arudi

ICloud Mail will not let me enter a subject in the Subject line

all of a sudden iCloud Mail will not let me enter a subject in the Subject line. It even alerts me that there is no subject in the Subject line when i send an email but still wont let let the cursor enter anything in the subject line

When you add an iCloud account with Lion or Mt Lion there's no need to add an incoming mail server if you are using the built in mail app. It is automatically configured for you.

ICloud Mail - will not send in Outlook 2010

Hello:
I am desperate to get iCloud email working on my Win 7/Outlook 2010 machine. I have iCloud setup on my MacBook Pro and iPad using mail, calendar and contacts. On the Windows machine, I used the iCloud control panel to create the mail account setup.
It used my new @.me.com account as the user (only the name, not the @me.com).
It used p02-imap.mail.me.com and P02-smtp.mail.me.com
Port 993 with SSL for sending and port 587 with TLS for sending.
The problem is with authenticating to the smtp server. It stops and asks for a password. I have tried every port/encription option and still no joy. It authenticates to the imap for getting messages.
I can login to iCloud's web app and use the MBP and iPad without an issue. It seems like hundreds of people are complaining about the same thing.
What is the ciorrect seetings for iCloud mail and why does the auto config fail?
Thanks,
Kevin

I agree, i can't understand why they don't just explain the settings. And why they do not consistently work.
I too had issues, Outlook was "working" when i set up the @me account, then I started getting the annoying little internat email login popup (that does not go away). Finally after many "experiments" i have it "apparently working" (will explain working with the following settings:
accoutn type: IMAP
incoming server: imap.mail.me.com Port: 993: SSL
outgoing server: smtp.mail.me.com Port: 25 (default): Auto
"Require SPA" is checked, but not on outgoing server.
It does now finally work without putting up the annoying internet email login. However, now i discoverd a greater problem.
OUTLOOK IS NOT REALLY SENDING THE EMAIL. It is putting it in the "sent" box as if it did, but no one receives it. No errors, no warning. And this dates all the way back to the time i started using the @me account. My only work around is to use the stupid icloud mail browser app. Really low in functionality compared to outlook.
This really affects the reliability of the icloud product and this is a serious error. It really cuts down on the utility of the icloud and whewther it can be integrated with the PC at all. Like everyone else i have also had the creation of multiple calendars and multiple contacts.
Apple better fix this quick or a lot of people will start using gmail, droid and google cloud products.

Icloud mail does not work over cellular network after upgrade to IOS 8.1.3

Hi,
Since I did the update to IOS 8.1.3 on my iPhone 6 Plus yesterday, my icloud mails cannot be received/sent with my phone over the cellular network.
In order to make mails workin' I need to be connected to a Wifi network.
All setting are correct on the phone.
How can I fix this **** issue.
Deleted the icloud account already and added it again but that does not help.
Also when I try to connect to iCloud from the iCloud settings it says: Authentication Failed - A server error occurred.
The password is correct.
Please help me.
Jerry

I Fixed it by trying to sign in with a different ID and canceling when it asked For a password and then signed in with my ID and it works! No more error message. I got this idea from another discussion. Thank you for replying though.

Icloud calendar is not showing up in outlook

I have shared my Mail, Contacts, and Calendar through iCloud, but, only my iCloud mail shows up in my Outlook 2013. Neither Contacts nor Calendar have their own folders showing in those aspects of Outlook. Any ideas?

I am having the same problem. Mail, note & tasks work perfectly, but no iCloud calendars show in my Outlook.
Are recommending reinstalling iCloud completely to get it to work?
Is there something that can be done directly from my Outlook? It synces perfecty on iCloud.

Icloud mail client not working properly

mail client does not replicate mail from icloud quickly AND unable to send mail from local client - am I doing something wrong?

Hmmm, iCloud eMail part should work fine on PPC in 10.5.8, even 10.4.11, & 10.3.9
Is this how it's setup?
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    •    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    •    SSL Required: Yes
    •    Port: 993
    •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    •    Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    •    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    •    SSL Required: Yes
    •    Port: 587
    •    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    •    Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

Brand new to Mac and IPad. I have comcast email on my Mac and it works great. My girlfriend has yahoo mail but considering doing iCloud mail when we set up the iPad. Need convincing to use iCloud mail. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks

I'm new to Mac and IPad. I have Comcast mail on Mac and it works great my girlfriend has Yahoo email but is considering ICloud email when she sets up the iPad. Without technical jargon... In iCloud email a wise change? Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That's really a question for you to answer yourself, changing an email address may not be the best of ideas if it's well known to others. On the other hand iCloud mail is an IMAP account (it syncs between devices) which may be an advantage if your current address is just a POP account.
I use my iCloud address for secondary mail in conjunction with my main address.

Cannot activate iCloud Mail and Notes

Hello,
I just bought a new 13" Retina MacBook Pro with Mavericks. I set up my iCloud account and everything works except Mail and Notes.
Do you have any idea on how to fix this really annoying bug?

Migrated from @me.com (when iCloud was released). I tried to disconnect/reconnect and log in with @me.com. No success so far.

Hi,
I think it should be related to the Send/Receive Group, please create a new Send/Receive group in Outlook and check if it helps:
Click File, and then clickOptions.
Click the Advanced tab.
In the Send and Recieve section, clickSend/Recieve.
Under Group Name, click the group, and then click
Copy.
Under Send/Receive Group Name, type the new group name, and then clickOK.
Under Group Name, click the old group name.
Under both When Outlook is Online andWhen Outlook is Offline, click to clear the check box forInclude this
group in Send/Receive (F9).
Click Close.
Quit Outlook, and then restart Outlook.
Please also use the following steps to re-enable the Send immediately when connected
option.
Outlook 2013
On the File tab, click Options.
In the Outlook Options dialog box, click
Advanced.
In the Send and receive section, click to enable Send immediately when connected.
Click OK.
Outlook 2007
On the Tools menu, click Options.
In the Options dialog box, select the Mail Setup
tab.
In the Send/Receive section, click to enable Send immediately when connected.
Click OK.
I hope this can help. If the steps above still fail, try to create a new profile to setup the account:
