ICloud Mail on My MacBook Pro

For some reason, my iCloud e-mail on my MacBook Pro goes crazy! I can send and receive mail, but no matter how I set the blue tab and up/down "Date Received" arrow, sometimes my mail goes back to 2002 back when I first set up my mail on an old Titanium MacBook! So I have to spend wasted time scrolling through all my messages from 2002!
This just started happening with my new MacBook Pro that I purchased last summer.
Any clue as to why this is happening?
Thanks in advance!
Tom

Since this is a question regarding Mail you need to be asking it in the Mail thread. It is not an issue with the hardware of your Macbook Pro. Sorry.

Why can't I setup iCloud mail on my MacBook Pro?

Context: I had two accounts configured in my Mail.app - an Exchange account for work, and a personal iCloud account. I've had the iCloud account since it was .me, and it has worked fine until recently. It also continues to work fine on my iPad and iPhone and on the iCloud website. So here is what I have experienced...
In August, this account stopped working on my mid-2010 MacBook Pro. I started getting errors telling me my password was not accepted by the account anymore, and no matter what I tried, I could never get the account working on that MacBook after that. I didn't really care that much at the time because I knew I was getting a new one soon, and sure enough I did. I received my MacBook Pro with Retina sometime in September.
On day one, I configured all of my account settings through iCloud and the Mail app, and everything was great. Emails coming in and going out, notes being perfectly synced... it was great. This lasted until Thursday or Friday of last week. I powered up my MacBook and saw my iCloud account was offline in Mail. When I tried to take it online, I received (and still receive when I try to set it up) this error:
"The iCloud IMAP server “p01-imap.mail.me.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages."
I know the credentials are accurate, I know my Internet is fine (and I've done this at multiple locations, home/work/Beaners), and I know I've tried every troubleshooting step I can find for this. I did the signing out of iCloud and rebooting thing, that did not work. I also cannot enable mail or notes through the iCloud preference pane. I know this because when I try, I receive the following error:
"iCloud Mail couldn't be enabled from the iCloud Preference Pane."
It then suggests for me to set it up through the Mail app.
Here we are.

I still continue to see no answer to this. I have icloud enabled and working on my iphone and ipad but it just will not work in mail on the Mac
All I ever get is the same message:
The iCloud IMAP server “p01-imap.mail.me.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.
Trust me, I've followed all the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
and here

and absolutely NOTHING works!! What is freaking going ON??

Can't get iCloud mail on my MacBook Pro. I used to, but not now.

I have been traveling, and using all sorts of servers to get my mail through the mail program on my MacBook Pro (Blue stamp icon). But now I am home, and the problem that started while over the road is continuing.
Under iCloud, the mail icon is checked. Under accounts, the only place blank is the IMAP Path Prefix. Port is 143, and SSL is checked. Authentication is Apple Token. Checked are also "include when automatically checking for new messages" and "compact mailboxes automatically"
Any help to get my mail up and running again?
Thanks in advance.

You're going to have to give us more info than "I can't get net flix to work."
What have you done to try to get it to work?
Have you installed Silverlight?
Have you activated you Mac with NetFlix?
How are you accessing NetFlix? (Browser, Boxee....)
Exactly what is happening?

ICloud Mail on my MacBook Pro incorrectly displays number of unread messages

The iCloud account in Mail displays 1 unread message when all are read. I am unable to "mark all messages as read" to remove the 1 unread message icon. When I send multiple test emails to the iCloud account, it still only displays 1 unread message when there are more. The iCloud account on my iOS devices correctly displays the number of unread email messages.

This is an addition to my earlier statement...
This anomoly with Mail displaying 1 unread message regardless of the fact all messages are read is only occurring in Mail. I set up iCloud email in Outlook for Mac 2011 and it correctly displays the number of unread messages.

TS4002 I delete an icloud email from my MacBook Pro but when I open mail again the email is still there. What's up with that?

At least I understand, but the functionality does not match what the manual says. When functionality does not match the manual it is a BUG.
What if I do not want to use IMAP or Exchange? I do not like being forced to use technology I do not trust.
No, it is not a bug. It is working as designed. And there is noting in the manual that staes you can create folders for a POP account.
You do know that any email sent through a POP account stays on the provider's server (often for years) even if you delete it from your inboxes, right? Completely beyond your control. Refusing to use an IMAP service doesn't protect you from anything.

ICloud does not update emails in Mail on my MacBook Pro unless Mail app is open

Hi, looking for some advice
Up to a few days ago whenever I started up Mail in my MacBook Pro the e-mails I had received on my iPhone/iPad were pushed through and were visible as read.
Only now unless I have the MacBook runnig with the Mail app open they don't come through.
I can force them to synce if I move the emails on my iphone into a different folder, then back to inbox, but only while the Mail app is running.
It's annoying as one thing I like is being able to read the emails on my mobile devices then reply later from the MacBook when I get home.
I did change my iCloud password recently but it is the same across all devices, I removed the iCloud account from mail and system prefs then added them back but no joy.
I'm fairly sure it all started when I updated to iOS7 on the iPhone & iPad but cant be certain as I dont use the MacBook every day,
Any suggestions??
Thanks

OK, I persevered and used the Rebuild mailbox option on Mail, actually had to do it twice, but now when I boot up and Mail opens all the previously received iCloud messages I've read on iPhone/iPad are pushed through.
Back to normal...

HT1338 What's going on with iCloud (MobileMe)? I'm able to sign in here, but I can't access mail on my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or work computer. I always get an authorization error (user-id or passwork wrong). This has been going on for almost a week now.

The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
- connecting the iPad to your Mac
- selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
- selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

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:

My e-mails do not appear in Mail on my MacBook Pro

For the last week my incoming mails on my iCloud account does not appear in Mail on my MacBook Pro. E-mails appear as normal on my iCloud and iPhone.
I have logged out of iCloud on my Mac and logged on again, still the same problem.
Any advice anyone?

Hi ritalim!
I have an article here for you that should help you troubleshoot this issue further to determine the source of the issue. That article can be found right here:

HT6030 I no longer have my notes in mail on my MacBook Pro

I no longer have my notes in 'mail' on my MacBook Pro, but they are in my IPhone and IPad. They used to be in my MacBook Pro and they did synch with the other two devices with ICloud. I think that it may have something to do with upgrading Maverick on November 17.

I am running 10.9 and the app "notes" is totally empty.

If you migrated from MobileMe, try deleting the e-mail account in your mail preferences and adding it back again. You will only be required to enter your password and the ID, the setup should add the correct settings and hopefully this will resolve your problem.

There seems to be a few bugs with iCloud Mail at times, so send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

The question mark means the computer cannot find a bootable volumes so can;t do anything, That, combined with annoying sounds, strongly suggests a failed hard drive.
You can ask a "genius" at an Apple Rtail Store to test it but I'm pretty sure the drive is kaput. I'm hoping you had your data backed up.

when trying to add new mail to my macbook pro it crash on me

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

TS3276 Web through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights.

Went through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights. This started today when I was prompted to re-enter incoming mail server passwords. I re-entered passowrds yet again to make sure they were correct. Rebuilt the inBox. Connection Doctor continues to show all green lights, but am still unable to download mail to the inbox. Has anyone else ever run into this problem?

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.
