Icloud mail not synching on computer

I am using Lion and icloud with my Ipad 2, Iphone 4 and Mac Pro desktop. The Ipad and phone sync fine but the Mac pro does not sync in Mail. Emails that I have already read and erased on the ipad or phone still come up as unread on the Mac Pro.
Anyone have any advice?

if you read an icoud email on your iPhone, iPad or iPad it will update the "Read" status on a Mac
But if you read the same iCloud email on your Mac it WILL NOT update the "Read" status on you iPhone,iPad or iPod (FACT)
Along with 1000's of others I have been experiencing this for some years now
The above link to the Apple support Document will confirm this to you, the relevant section says
"If you read one of your iCloud email messages in the Mail application on your computer, that email will still appear in your unread mail count on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until you open Mail on that device. Once you open Mail on the iOS device, the message status will be updated."

If icloud is not on my computer will that affect login into icloud through my iphone 4s

the SIGN IN TO ICLOUD DIALOG BOX reappears after I enter my password. Additionally, icloud is not downloaded on to my computer. Why isn't icloud accepting my password ? How do I resolve this issue?

Original Question: if icloud is not on my computer will that affect
login into icloud through my iphone 4s
On my iphone, a dialog box appears asking for user login to icloud-- ENTER
USER   "password". After I attempt to
login in to i-cloud the dialog box re-appears asking for AGAIN user
password login and will not remove from main screen.
( Please continue reading and thank you for your response.) I received a response ques. asking, Are you trying to login to i-cloud? Yes, I was trying to login to         i-cloud in order to remove the dialog box which will not remove after each time, I entered the correct i-cloud LOGIN USER "PASSWORD" requesting to be entered.
My first thought was (my iphone does not have wifi connection) to connect to
wifi because the user login is not connecting permitting login to be
accepted. I selected cancel to bypass the dialog box asking for user
Login password to icloud in order to remove it from the home
screen.    I attempt to go to wifi settings. The dialog
box will re- appear preventing from SELECTING wifi settings because
the dialog box does not give enough time to remove itself from main
screen in order to change wifi settings in which to allow wifi.
Additionally, my thought it is the correct Login password being enter
because when online at the icoud login page asking for username and password,
both are accepted and allow access.
Also, one thought to the issue, after opening iTunes it has stated that my
icloud session has expired. My intentions at this moment are
not to purchase a subscription to icloud at this time. Although i
would like to access the account later on, if there wouldn't
be conditional problems with iclouds at a later point in time, then there
would not be any concerns deleting the icloud account in order to remove the
icloud dialog box. However, i would consider deleting acct as a last
step.
AS I TROUBLESHOOT THE ISSUE
reasons for issue posted:
iPHONE ISSUE - the phone settings not set to sync phone with computer
iPHONE ISSUE - Needs to connect with internet
ITUNES ISSUE- THE ITunes settings not set correctly
ICLOUD ISSUE- SETTINGS NOT SET RIGHT OR
ACCOUNT IS INVALID- NEED TO PAY FOR AN ACCOUNT
===================
SO AFTER ATTEMPTING TO TROUBLESHOOT THE I -CLOUD ISSUE ON THE PHONE
1. THE PHONE SHOULD BE ACTIVE AND HAVE WIFI SERVICE.
2.THE ICLOUD DIALOG BOX ASKING FOR ICLOUD USER LOGIN PASSWORD HAS TWO SELECTIONS. SHOWING "OK" BUTTON FOR ENTERING PASSWORD AND "CANCEL."   WIFI IS NEEDED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.YOU MUST BE QUICK TO BYPASS THE DIALOG BOX AND ATTEMPT TO SELECT THE WIFI CONNECTION IN ORDER TO PROCEED TO RESOLVE I-CLOUD ISSUE WITH DIALOG BOX RE-APPEARING.
ADDITIONALLY, I SELECTED TO DELETE THE ACCOUNT. JUST BEFORE I CHANGED SETTINGS AND CONNECTED WITH WIFI.
I AM NOT SURE IF THE CHANGES WENT THROUGH.
ADDITIONALLY , ON MY IPHONE 4S, I WENT TO SETTINGS MENU AND SAW THAT MY DATA WAS NOT ON!!
I TURNED IT ON
ICLOUD ON MY IPHONE ASKED TO LOGIN WITH USERNAME ACCOUNT AND USERNAME PASSWORD. AND THEN ASKED IF I WANTED TO MERGE ACCOUNT INFORNMATION.
   I MYSELF, UNSURE OF THE OUTCOMES CHOSE NIETHER. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY RESPONSE UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE OF MERGING OR NOT MERGING ICLOUD ACCOUNT AND WAS IT A RESULT OF DELETEING THE OLD ICLOUD ACCOUNT.
THE DIALOG BOX REMOVED ITSELF FROM THE MAIN SCREEN AND FROM MY UNDERSTAND ACCEPTED THE USERNAME PASSWORD WHEN I LOGGED IN AND UPDATED THE FILE, AS A RESULT FROM THE START, WAS CHANGED DUE TO FORGETTIG THE OLD PASSWORD.
AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING MYSELF, I LEARNED THAT YOU NEED WIFI   IN ORDER FOR THE CONNECTION TO GO THROUGH IN WHICH IS NEED FOR THE DEVICE TO COMMUNICATE. AND YOUR DATA ON YOUR PHONE SETTING SHOULD BE ON IN ORDER TO ALLOW WIFI CONNECTION TO BE ENABLED.
IF MY UNDERSTANDING IS CORRECT, THOSE CHANGES SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED IN WHICH TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE OF THE DIALOG BOX FROM RE-APPEARING ON THE MAIN SCREEN.
I WISH THERE WAS MORE HELP INVOLVED IN RESOLVING THESE TECHNICAL ISSUES. I AM SERVING IN THE MILITARY OVERSEAS AND AS CALLED FOR TECHNICAL HELP, I WAS USING A PHONE CARD WITH A LIMITED AMOUNT OF MINUTES. MOST OF MY TIME WAS SPENT ON WAITING FOR ASSISTANCE AND STATING INFORMATION THAT SHOULD OF BEEN ASKED DURING THE WAIT PERIOD TO EXPEDITE THE PROCESS AND TIME WAS SPENT REPEATING INFORMATION WHICH HINDERED MY TIME TO RESOLVE ANY ISSUES.
Thank you for the one response for assistance. I just wish there had been more response for help.
Additionally, for those whom use forums, your posts should be clear and concise, to the point, and I CAN NOT SAY THIS ENOUGH, EXPRESSED WITH A COMPLETE THOUGHT IN ORDER TO PREVENT AND AVIOD CONFUSION. MOREOVER, I SEE ALOT OF EXPRESSED THOUGHTS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE , APPEARING AS IF WHAT IS BEING POSTED ARE NOT BEING REVIEWED BEFORE THEY ARE POSTED.   I WOULD HOPE OTHERS READ THIS POST AND USE IT AS AN EXAMPLE ON HOW TO EXPRESS A POINT WHETHER IT BEING A COMMENT, QUESTION OR, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO EXPRESS HOW TO ACCOMPLISH A STEP BY STEP TASK , TO AVIOD ASSUMPTIONS. AGAIN, COMPLETE THOUGHTS ARE REQUIRED.

Why does icloud mail not display clearly?

Why does my ipad 2 with icloud mail not clearly display my mail?

Depends on what "not display clearly" means.

ICloud mail not working. I can send but cannot receive. Is the system down?

iCloud mail not working. I can send but cannot receive. Is the system down?

Same here. I can send mails from iCloud.com Webmail, but cannot receive.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of
its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address
failed:
"[email protected]":
SMTP error from remote server after RCPT command:
host: mx1.icloud.com.akadns.net
5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: [email protected]
On iOS 6 device I can't receive, neither send mails.

However, if I change to @me.com, everything works fine.

Hi, fungo47.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can reset your Apple ID/iCloud password via the steps in the first article below. If you do not have access to the email account or are not receiving the password reset link, see the second article.

Icloud does not synch notes

Synchronising notes between my PC, iPhone und iPad does not work with iCloud. In the settings of the iPad and iPhone, notes is activated under iCloud and under notes, the default account is iCloud.
Gathering from the web, this is an unresolved problem with apple iCloud. Is this so? If it is, what is iCloud good for?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

ICloud mail not delivering mail from specific address

I'm having a recurring issue with iCloud mail. Email alerts from my home alarm company are being intercepted on Apple's server side, and are not being delivered to me. I called Apple Support more than a week ago to report this problem, and the representative added the email address to a "white list." This fixed the problem.... for about a week. Now iCloud is up to its old tricks, killing these emails before they get to me. Sounds like an overzealous junk mail algorithm on Apple's server side is mis-identifying this email address as a spam.
And the email is NOT being classified as junk by my computer. It never reaches my computer--it's not in any junk or trash folder on my side.

I use the term "Desktop" to indicate my iMac and my Macbook - the email is actually in my Mailbox on my Macbook. I move it from my Inbox to a folder on icloud. Then it syncs and the email is back in my Inbox.
Sorry my use of the word "desktop" comes from 25 years managing Windows desktop computers.......

ICloud mail not receiving

I'm not receiving emails through iCloud. I can send emails to my other email accounts from the iCloud and these are received in the appropriate mail accounts. Any mail sent to my iCloud addresses from any of other mail accounts are not arriving. I was curious when I'd not received any new emails on my iCloud account for a day (this is unknown).
I looked into contacting Apple support for help only to find they'll only assist for £25. As I consider this an insult, I'd really appreciate help from anyone who can advise what the problem might be.
Thank you
Andrew

Hello Andy Marlow
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below if you are unable to receive iCloud mail.
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
If you can't receive mail in OS X Mail
Locate the name of your iCloud account on the left side of the main Mail window. If your iCloud account name is dimmed and has a lightning-bolt symbol next to it, your account is offline. To bring your account online, make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet, then choose Mailbox > Take All Accounts Online. If that doesn't resolve the issue, follow these steps:
Choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
Click Accounts in the Preferences window.
Select your iCloud account from the list of accounts.
Click the Advanced tab and verify these settings:
Port: 993
Use SSL: (selected)
Authentication: either "Password" or "Apple Token"

ICloud mail not syncing across my devices

I have my mail set up on my iMac, Macbook Pro and iPhone with my iCloud account. When I delete a message or move it to a folder it doesn't sync this across my devices unless I use iCloud logged onto the web. This means that I have to keep repeating my actions and sometimes the mail reappears after I've deleted it. How can it sync across all devices like MobileMe used to, as it's really inconvenient.
I use the Lion OS.

Not sure where you are looking to see the 0 bytes available part.
However, signing out of iCloud and back in again will trigger the push from iCloud to the device or computer you are signing out of and back in to.
To ensure that your data is stored in iCloud, go to iCloud.com and check your Calendar to make sure it has the latest data that you want pushed to your devices and to your Mac.
If everything is in iCloud, then it will push back to your device or computer when you sign back on.
Cheers,

Mail not synching between laptops

HI, I am currently using two MacBook Air laptops, why does my Macmail not synch between the two, it is driving me crazy trying to find sent mails, i have to go through both. And when i use mail through icloud that is not synched to either to either of them. Help?

Open System Preferences > iCloud on both Macs.
Make sure Mail is selected.

Multiple iCloud mail accounts on one computer

We had a family pack on mac.com and when we moved the accounts to icloud (on the same mac), the mac can no longer get email from one of the accounts... icloud is not accepting the pasword for this account - however, withut making any changes to the account or password, mail is being retrieved without a problem on the ipad and iphone....and w can log into this acount wihtout a problem on icloud.com
any ideas???

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking here. If you're asking about multiple iCloud accounts on the same Mac, then yes this is possible. You can only have one primary iCloud account (you need a primary account for photo stream, Back to My Mac, find my phone and documents and data) you can set up secondary accounts at system preferences > mail contacts and calendars.
If you have already set up a secondary account and it isn't working properly try deleting it and adding it back again.
And for the avoidance of doubt, if you are migrating from a family Mobile me account, you need to migrate each sub account into a new iCloud account, there are no family pack iCloud accounts.

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 not syncing as "read" across all devices

If I read an email on my Mac, it does not mark as read on my iPhone and i still see the new mail notification on the lock screen and there is a new mail mark on the mail app icon when i unlock the iPhone until I open up mail app and it checks manually.
When I used the Gmail Exchange server or Gmail App with Gmail account it works perfectly and when i read my mail it sync immediately on all devices and the new mail notification disappear immediately after reading the mail on the other device.
Is there any way that iCloud mail can update reading mail Immediately like Gmail Exchange server or Gmail App?

Unfortunately, iCloud only pushes new mail. In iOS, it has never pushed the updated status of mail read, moved or flagged on other devices. http://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT203545
You could try switching your iCloud mail to fetch instead of push. I've never tried this, but maybe it will fetch the read status, as per the fetch schedule.
