ICloud Mail Slow?

Anyone else experiencing excrutiatingly slow iCloud mail sync? I'm using Apple Mail in Mountain Lion, and after starting Apple Mail iCloud takes forever to sync up. When I try to access via the webmail, some folders time out while loading.
There are no mentions of issues on the iCloud status page.

Sending email through iCloud has been extremely slow. I may have to change my e-mail to Gmail. This is ridicilious. It is slow sending basic e-mail on my iPhone and on my Mac's at home.

HT4864 Icloud mail slow or not working

Mail is terribly slow now. Web page only partly works and often is come tell unresponsive. Mail app on iPhone won't download many attachments and emails incoming and outgoing are extremely delayed. Ironically, I have the most luck downloading attachments during the rare times when the web interface is working.
It's happening with my wife's stuff too. Anyone else having problems?

I'm also experiencing the same issue.
I've had to reset my password 3 times in the last 3 days.
At first, I couldn't get my email. I sweated it out for 12 hours, reset my password and I was good to go again. 48 hours later, I ran into the same issue. Only problem is, not only do I get the 'Incorrect username or password' on my device, but my iCloud.com login no longer works. so now I can't read my messages on the web OR on my device/computer.
I have went to appleid.apple.com and reset my password there: no luck.
I have reset the settings on my device: no luck.
I have Erase and Installed iOS 6.1.2: no luck.
I have restored my device back to factory settings: no luck.
I have performed a DFU restore: no luck.
This is my main account for, well everything.

ICloud Mail slow today.

Has anyone else been getting authentication errors, or just overall slowness on iCloud IMAP today? Namely p02-imap.mail.me.com

Why is iCloud Mail so slow when trying to access via a browser on a PC. It's practically unusable. When it eventually does come up, it freezes up within a few minutes.

iCloud mail is practically unusuable on a browser. Extremely slow and freezes up when it eventually does come up.

Mail slow from icloud?

mail loads slow on iphone from icloud please help

Get a faster connection.
Is this only on Wi-Fi? Cellular data? Both?
Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
Is it just iCloud mail or anything data related?
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

TS4002 icloud mail appears to be very slow.why?

icloud mail appears to be very slow today,why?

I spoke to Apple also. They confirmed that the problem is on their end. They put my account into "trouleshooting mode", issued me with a temp. password and told me it should be fixed by Wednesday of next week. I did not hold back on expressing my disastisfaction with how long it would take them to fix - email being critical to my business.

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 is slow and unresponsive

For the past week iCloud mail has been very slow and unresponsive. I've checked the iCloud mail server status and everything is okay according to Apple. If I use mail in iCloud in my browser, it is often very slow and sometimes unresponsive in the middle of my typing. I have to wait 20-30 seconds for it to respond so I can continue typing.
When using iCloud mail on my iPhone, it is very slow. Sometimes it does not load images in email or takes a very long time to do so. Other times it just doesn't update after I read my emails. I can pull down the list to refresh but it doesn't update and says I still have unread messages when I don't. A couple of minutes later it will refresh the unread number.
This has all just started happening for me in the last week. How can I report this to apple? It seems as all I can do is go through support and call them or have them call me. I don't have the time to do this when all I want to do is report that something is down or not working properly so they can look into it.

Hello Scott,
as Apple states on the Apple System Status site (http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/): "If you are experiencing an issue not listed here, contact support."
This is the only way I could think of to report an issue.

ICloud Mail has stopped working

Had to do a PRAM reset on my iMac today because of slow restarting from sleep etc. Now getting error message in Mail that it's "unable to open iCloud" because "Mail was unable to open this mailbox on the server “p02-imap.mail.me.com”. The server returned the error: Server hosting this mailbox is not available."
Nothing to say whether this is permanent or temporary, and I don't know whether the issue might be related to the PRAM reset. The message is only against the Sent and Trash boxes. The account can still send, and forward mail.
Any idea whether this will resolve itself, or what I can do to get rid of the warning triangle against Sent and Trash for iCloud mail?
Thanks.
Tom

Using iCloud mail in Snow Leopard - AND restoring old mail system

I use Snow Leopard and cannot upgrade to Lion since my MacBook Pro is too old.
Apple discontinued my traditional Mail service last week and said it is now transferred to iCloud.
1. Is there any way I can get my traditional Mail service restored since I like it better than the "improved?" iCloud-based mail service.
2. What I don't like about the new iCloud-based mail service is...
a. Sent mail does not always appear in my Sent folder.
b. When wanting to file a recent mail message away, I have to scroll thru all the folders AND many, many sub-folders. The system does not let me hide the sub-folders so I don't have to scroll so long.
c. It seems as if the iCloud mail speed is much slower than the old non-iCloud mail service.
d. It is very hard to make to Contacts for ease in sending mail
3. IF there is no way to get my traditional mail service restored, is there a way to get the "classic" look if I am forced to use the iCloud mail system?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Can't send iCloud mail from Outlook 2011

I have recently installed Office 2011 for Mac on my Macbook Pro and I want to set up my iCloud mail on it. I can receive mail just fine but I can't send mail at all. I keep getting error code 17092 saying that the SMTP server doesn't recognize any of the authentication methods supported by Outlook. How can I fix this problem or do I have to just use the native Mail app? Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I was having the same issue. I was able to fix by login into appleid.apple.com and setting my @me as the primary email adress.( Make sure you verify it) The deleted your i cloud account on you Iphone, Ipad or Touch then added it again. You should be able to send email using icloud

How can I update my Mail program in 10.6.8 to iCloud Mail?

I am running 10.6.8 on my iMac, which is my work "workhorse." I can't update it to Lion because I can't afford to update Quark/Photoshop et al that I'd need. And it works fine.
I also have a Macbook Air running the latest Lion, as well as an iPod 5 running IOS7. Both access my iCloud mail address and folders/filtering set up on iCloud.
However, the Mail program on my iMac is still showing my MobileMe mailbox (and MobileMe is in my system preferences). I had an elaborate filtering-to-folders set up in Mail for my MobileMe account (not in the online MobileMe). I've disabled all the filtering in my Mail program, but iCloud still sends some mail to the older folders I had set up in the program, overriding the new folder-filtering I have set up on iCloud.
So, sometimes I'll get an email sent to my .me email address from a client which I cannot see on my Macbook Air (or iPod) because it's sent to a folder on my iMac. I'm semi-retired so don't do much work anymore so I'd rather not "fire up" the iMac unless I've work to do. But as it is with the Mail situation, I have to leave it on all the time or I can miss client email.
My question is, can I get delete my "mobileme" account in my iMac Mail program and then add my iCloud account to it? I assume the MobileMe in the iMac's system preferences is there for good, because I can't update to Lion. Will that fix my problem, or is that even do-able?
I'm not sure I've stated this clearly. I'm trying to get total coordination between my iMac, MB Air, and iPod mail accounts in the Mail programs of each device without having to resort to using iCloud mail online on my iMac. Perhaps that's unavoidable?
Any help appreciated. If clarification needed, I'll try to explain this better... Thanks all!

You can perfectly well access email in 10.6.8 - I'm doing it myself - and if you are receiving @me.com mail you are already doing so. the @icloud.com version of the address is exactly the same thing, and messages to it will arrive in the inbox alongside those to @me.com.
However if you have set up Rules to act on incoming @me.com mail it obviously won't act on @icloud.com messages, so you will have to duplicate the Rules if you want to keep them.
If you want to try starting over you can delete the account and set it up again, using the method described here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You can't access other iCloud facilities in Snow Leopard but if all you are interested in is the email you have no need to upgrade to Mountain Lion.

IOS 8.1 Does Not Download All iCloud Mail/ Keeps Cache?

Hello,
I have setup and enabled an iCloud e-mail account on all of my devices and was successfully able to use the Mail app in Mac OS X Yosemite to copy mail from my Yahoo! inbox to my iCloud inbox. All e-mail copied from Yahoo! Mail appears in the OS X Yosemite Mail app as well as in the iCloud.com site, however, my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 5 both running iOS 8.1 does not download all of the mail from iCloud. I have tried the following on both iOS 8.1 devices with no success.
- Disable iCloud mail and re-enable
- Sign completely out of iCloud and sign in again, then reconfigure all iCloud services including mail
The result of both steps is that the incomplete list of e-mail in the iCloud inbox just reappears in the Mail app instead of downloading from iCloud again. It looks like the incomplete list of e-mail is stored on the iOS device and signing out of or disabling iCloud mail just hides it; re-enabling or signing in merely shows it again. This appears to work differently than my Yahoo! Mail configuration where if I sign out of or delete the Yahoo! account and reconfigure, iOS downloads a fresh copy of all e-mail in the inbox and all other folders. Here are my two questions:
- How do I get my iPhone and iPad Air 2 to download ALL e-mail from my iCloud mail account?
- Are my suspicions true? Does iOS actually store a cached copy of iCloud mail on the device when the service is disabled and just "redisplays" it when re-enabled?
Thanks!

I had the same problem. My iCloud it's a mess since the iOS 8.1 update.
Probably your iCloud isn't working too.

Can not view my icloud mail messages on my phone

I am not able to look at my mail within the icloud mail. Any suggestions

Not sure what you mean by "within iCloud mail" but if you can't view your iCloud mail inside the Mail app on your phone, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Mail off, then after a few seconds turn Mail back on again.
