ICloud mail not working in Mavericks

I can't add an iCloud mail address - it won't check it in preferences.  What should I do?

Hi. I've already tried reinstalling it. But still find there's more bugs in it than what it's worth. I have to try to work out what the benefits of the update were and so I am unable to find a single benefit. I use FileMaker Pro which is an apple program. Since updating to mavericks I had to purchase the updated version of FileMaker which is the only one that works with mavericks. Having done that I have had problems with fonts not displaying. Contacted the very helpful FileMaker support who were also baffled but it was a known problem. The response that came back from apple - install Microsoft office as the fonts that that instals works with FileMaker. What a crazy response, unfortunately they didn't work even. I have been an apple user for almost 30 years and I can't remember a single OS update that has caused me so many problems as mavericks. No wonder it was free

  • App store, Safari, software updates, icloud, do not work in Mavericks 10.9 using a proxy server

    App store, Safari, software updates, icloud, do not work in Mavericks 10.9. these problems are interrelated I am sure. Apple apps were working fine in 10.8.5 I could do software updates through a proxy server using password authentication. I reinstalled a new system 10.9 on another partition and it won't let me use Safari or update software using a proxy server. Firefox works fine (I am using it to post). I am very disappointed that this wasn not fully tested BEFORE releasing Mavericks. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    I had this problem myself.
    Checked the system log with Console, and I found the entry:-
    Nov 11 11:16:41 teds-new-mac.ad.mycompany.co.uk ocspd[537]: Authentication challenge received for "10.203.39.212:8080", unable to obtain proxy server credential from System keychain.
    For some unknown reason, Mavericks seems to be looking in the System keychain, when these credentials are actually held in the Login keychain.
    So, I tried "Copy & Paste"  - copying the https user name & password from the Login keychain and pasting into the System keychain, which worked but it's not quite as straightforward as I initially thought.
    Pasting into the System Keychain was, I found a not-very-intuitive process:
    Having opened your Login Keychain, click once on the item to be copied and when it's highlighted, select "Copy" from the Edit menu or, of course, cmd+c.
    Select the System Keychain:- DO NOT CLICK THE PADLOCK IN THE TOP LEFT TO UNLOCK IT.
    From the Edit menu, select "Paste" or cmd+v.
    You will then get a dialogue box,, enter your administrator's password and select "Modify Keychain" or just hit return, as it's the default entry.
    I found a restart was in order before it recognised everything and would accept https pages without alert boxes, but YMMV.
    Funnily enough - and this is where it seems counter-intuitive, if you do click on the padlock and unlock the System Keychain, "Paste" is greyed out in the Edit menu and cmd+v has no effect.
    Exactly the opposite to what I'd expect..

  • 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.

  • ICloud mail not working on iPhone after updating password

    Hi folks,
    I have an iPhone 4 with last iOS 5.0.1 with an iCloud account working perfectly.
    The only thing that doesn't works is the mail.
    My account was a MobileMe account.
    I upgraded to iCloud, I had some problems with the transiction and I discovered the problem was the password (only lower case letters, no numbers) and so I changed my mobileme/iCloud password with the new password requirements.
    Now on iPhone iCloud mail can't receive emails.
    I have the same account configured on my MacBook Pro with Lion and iCloud mail is working, BUT with the old password (the lower case one)!
    On the iPhone I CAN'T change only the mail password.
    Could you help me ?

    Ok, I found the solution
    I have to CHANGE AGAIN my iCloud password (aka Apple ID password).
    Now everything is working.
    Thanks for watching!

  • Mac Mail not working after Mavericks upgrade

    After successfully updating to Mavericks, Mac Mail app does not launch (window does not appear on screen) and requires force quit to stop. I also have Outlook loaded and it started up and works fine.  I would rather use Mail. Anyone else have this issue?  Is there any easy fix?  The app doesn't launch completely so I can't clear any of the accounts to try to start Mail fresh.

    Here's my issue and how I fixed it. If you have this problem then try what I did.
    When I lauched Mail, it appeared like it opened but then wouldn't display any windows at all and wouldn't
    update my mail count on the icon.
    Within mail there is options to display. The setting was set to "assign to none". That makes mail appears as though it is not working and seemed to bottleneck how mail operates.
    In the dock - click and hold on Mail - open Options and chose the display you wish to assign the window to display
    mail.
    Hope this helps.

  • ICloud mail not working on iOS "Cannot Get Mail"

    After I moved my MobileMe to iCloud I cannot get mail on my iPhone or iPad. iCloud syncs everything else and works on my MacBook Pro running latest Lion.
    Gives me a badge that says:
    Cannot Get Mail
    The user name or password for "iCloud" is incorrect.

    For some, but by no means all, this did not work. Apple has been working internally on my account and appears to have the issue totally resolved. If resetting your password does not work, you should contact MobileMe / iCloud support via e-mail and give them an accurate and complete description of the steps taken to cure the issue. They will be happy to take it from there.

  • ICloud /Mail not working again!

    Having problems with iCloud again.
    Using my Mac and also iPhone and kept prompting me for the password. Put in the correct password & after several attmepts it rejected it and told me I had to reset the password, which I did.
    The new one has been accepted, but whilst I can access iCloud via the Safari Browser I can't get into Mail as it keeps coming up with an error message.
    Also mail on my Mac, iPhone and iPad not working. Anyone else having the same problem, looks like this one keeps happening with Apple every few months!

    Right I have just tried a couple of things and I have just been able to pick up email.
    In Thunderbird I have always had under:
    >Tools >Account
    Select 'server settings'
    my full email address for account
    e.g. [email protected]
    for my old mac account.
    I just went and removed the @mac.com bit and I can now connect and download email.
    Now I have not changed anything on my laptop/ Thunderbird and I don't allow automatica updates to Thunderbird etc so something must have changed at Apples end.
    I have also made this change to my other apple id which is only an icloud account as it is a new one and this works too.
    So come on Apple something must have changed.
    The set-up instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4864
    tell people to use their @me.com address for the username.
    I have never used this so something must have changed this month. I have just gone back and edited one of my accounts again and put in the @me.com address for user name and get the same login error.
    Crikey I don't mind if things going wrong, its only flipping email, but don't you monitor the discussion boards a bit as I think a few people are having an issue and it does waste a lot of peoples time.
    Cheers Cel

  • ICloud Mail not working or not responding

    My iCloud Mail does not work, not on my iPhone, nor on my Mac or iCloud.com . On iCloud.com it says "Can't load Mail." on my Mac it says "Trying to login to this iCloud IMAP account failed." and on my iPhone it says "iCloud Mail server is down".
    Update: It now works after around 15-20 minutes.
    P.S. Hope it doesn't happen again.
    Another Question: I have a @me.com Email from Apple that i still use, will apple once delete @me.com emails from whoever has it still or i can continue using it without worries ?
    Thanks to the Apple Community.

  • ICloud mail not working, lost all mail.

    hello,
    i have this new problem which i can not figure out so i am asking for your help.
    the situation is as follows:
    i own a .mac account since day 1. and moved to icloud. so did my wife. all worked fine till i decided to update her iphone to ios6 i think.
    today she send me an email which i received on my ipad. the notification on my ipad said an email was received from my name. checked the email and the email was my wifes email, but with my name.
    went to iclouds on ther prefs pane and saw that it was under my name but i could not change it.
    went to apple id and change the name under her apple id to her name and everything changed under hers.
    but mail app got all srewed up.
    i have lost all her emails and the only thing i get is an inbox and the sent folder.
    her web mail and iphone have all folders and emails so they are not lost from the server.
    i can not seem to be able to connect the macbook to the icloud server.
    i log out from her apple id, and icloud. relog but mail will not sync with icloud and give an error in the pref pane window of icloud. it sais that icloud would not be enabled and go to mail and add the account from there.
    i try to do it and when i go to add the account the account is already there. the icon on the left in the accounts list shows the icloud icon with mobile me title and icloud imap description.
    the details in the account are correct and already filled in and locked. the server is p01-imap.mail.me.com
    i send an email from my account to my wifes email. her iphone received the email from my name to my name (yes my name) but under her email address since she received it. on the macbook the email never arrived.
    if i delete the account in the mail app i will get all fields locked but only the alias pull down menu with her email address with the @mac, @ me and @icloud alias.
    enabling and disabling the acount will not add an icon to the left. enabling will fill in the locked fields. but do not really make mail work.
    quiting mail and reopoening will create an icloud account like before....all in a loop and it gts me really mad!
    i can not describe the problem any better since i do not understand what is going on.
    macbook is on lion.
    pleasseeeeee heeeellllpppp
    or to put things on simpler note, mail will not enable/sync with iclouds.

    I have the same problem with my iPhone 5 iOS 6. Message reads "The latest backup could not be completed." I have tried about 10 times, both auto and manual syncs. The progress bar progresses about 1%, stays there for about 5-10 minutes then the message appears. To rule out the possibility of a wireless signal problem, I did an iCloud backup on my wife's iPad (iOS 5.1.1) and my iPad II (iOS 6) and had no problems. I can't understand why my iPhone 5 has the problem and not my other devices. Apple phone support was unable to resolve this and the support person said he has not heard of this problem and would contact the engineering department.

  • ICloud Mail not Working behind Fortinet300C

    Hello. Im having the following issue at work. The Mail app does not get the emails from iCloud. It says Cannot Get Mail. This is happening since I got my new Firewall Fortinet 300C.  If I turn off the Email Filter and the Antivirus it works but there is no way to add the iCloud exception. Other mail is ok, for example: Exchange, Yahoo, Gmail, etc. The only exception is the iCloud mail. And the worst of it, there is no log in the Firewall showing that the Antivirus or the Email filter is blocking iCloud mail. Please help, I have over 50 iPads in my network with the same problem!

  • Mac mail not working after Mavericks 10.9.4 update

    Help! Mac Mail was working fine, on all 3 of my different email accounts, until I did the Mavericks 10.9.4 update yesterday. Now I cannot receive or send mail and it shows all accounts are offline. Connection doctor says it cannot connect to server. I am able to get online fine and I check with my provider Verizon and all is working perfectly with them......it must be something to do with the update that screwed something up. Any help or suggestions would be AWESOME!

  • Mail not working in maverick

    My Mail app is not starting after installing Maverick

    A general repair to fix odd behaviours in Mail is  Mailbox > Rebuild.
    Another fix to try:
    Shut down Mail.
    In Finder, go to "~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/" (just do CMD+Shift+G and paste the path).
    Move all "Envelope" files to your desktop.
    Restart Mail and let it convert/reindex your mailboxes.
    If this worked, Trash the Envelope files file that are on your desktop.
    You can try restoring mail from a Time Machine backup.
    Hold down the Option key and in the Finder Go > Library
    Enter Time Machine.
    Select a date before the Mavericks upgrade.
    Restore Mail.

  • Mail not working after Maverick update!

    I'm having a similar problem with Mail since the Maverick update.
    I can open mail but most of my mailboxes are missing and it won't let me click on any of the remaining ones.
    You can bring up any of the drop down menus and use as if it's working perfectly... but the mail window itself cannot be used?
    I have brought the Mail window up and then clicked on enter time machine but no back ups appear... i endlessly float through the background?!
    Everything else works on my Mac?
    Can anyone help or maybe seen a thread that would apply to my circumstances?
    Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    I have installed Mavericks, but my mail, Version 7 (1822), will no longer get new mail from the server.
    I have to do it manually.
    Any suggestions will be most appreciated.
    Henry.
