ICloud on Mail not connecting to IMAP server since Lion update

Since the latest lion update, my Mail has been unable to recieve or send any mail.
Mail connection Dr is showing the following error; "Could not connect to this iCloud IMAP server."
Here's a few screenies showing the problems; http://imgur.com/a/VA7x1
Does anyone know what this could be? Thanks.

Thanks for the responces, both!
I've tried re-signing in, in both mail and through system pref. I just get the following error at the starting "Welcome to mail" splash screen
The iCloud IMAP server “p04-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.
As to the mail server, I can only assume no! As far as I can remember it was just a case of username+password and I was good to go. Really stumpped as to why this has happened.

TS4083 Icloud email is not connecting to the server - how do I fix this

My iphone 5 will not connect to icloud and download new emails, how do I fix this?

It has been working for many years on a series of iPhones, and for several months on the iphone5. The same account is working perfectly on my ipad. On the iPhone it has reverted back to 26/4 last update and it has been working at dates later than that. It now try's to connect for some time and then gives me an error saying it couldn't connect to the server.
I have now set up another icloud account as a secondary and it is working fine.
I have also re-entered my password and it verified correctly, but still did not update the emails. I have turned off email on the account on the phone, rebooted the phone, turned it on and it still doesn't connect.
So I'm stuck.

Icloud and mail - not connecting

My mail is failing to connect to the icloud server. Just happened. This happens about every 6 - 9 months for no reason. Worked fine earlier today. Any suggestions?

and this is great, if I go to iCloud support it won't let me contact them without a HARDWARE serial number! For a mail account connection error!

Can't connect so smtp-Server since Mavericks update.

Hi there,
I am not able to connect so my work smtp-Server since I have updated my system on MBP Late 2012. I also have an Mac Mini for Homeoffice.
Exacly the same accounts are working at my Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.5 -but not with OS X 10.9-.
What I tryed to fix:
copied all certificates from Mac Mini and paste (replaced) the certificates in my MBP.
I deleted my Mail-Folder (Library) at MBP and paste the Mail-Folder from Mac Mini.
I deleted the File com.apple.mail.plist at MBP and paste this file from Mac Mini.
Nothing of it works :-(.
I also created a "Test"-User-Account in my OS and typed the maildatas into this Account.... still doesn't work.
I deleted the System-Log and run a connection test in Mail App.
This is the Log:

OK, I was having the same problem and disabling SSL didn't work for me. Other solutions suggested in other forum threads also didn't work, but I've finally found a solution that works for me. Here it is in the hopes it will help other people:
In summary, I realized that the root of the problem was, as mentioned in the original post above, that the SSL certificate wasn't being accepted (-9807 Invalid certificate chain). This was because the SMTP server's certificate was expired. I did not want to try to convince my provider to fix it - instead I wanted to fix it myself on my end.
The solution was to import the SSL certificate to my keychain and flag it to "Always trust". However, getting the certificate was a bit tricky, as Mac Mail was not giving me the option. Here's how I did it:
1. I downloaded and installed Thunderbird (Mozilla's mail client, Firefox's cousin) and configured my problem email address there.
2. I tried sending an email from Thunderbird and then I got a pop-up saying that the certificate was not valid. On that pop-up, there is an option to view the certificate and then export it. So, I chose to export it to a .pem file (used option "with chain") to my desktop.
3. I dragged the .pem file and dropped it on my keychain icon on the dock (double clicking on it should work too). Then Keychain Access popped up (it imports the certificate automatically) so then I flagged the certificate as "Always Trust" and saved it.
After doing this, I was able to send SMTP email from Mac Mail.
At this point, you can remove Thunderbird, but first see the note below.
Note: Is this only works intermittently for you, it may be that you are being served by more than one SMTP server, so in that case you would need to do this for every one of them (import every certificate and flag as "Always Trust".
Hope this helps others.

Safari will not connect to Internet after Mountain Lion update

Please help!!!
I recently updated to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and for a few days, everything seemed to work well & seamlessly!
However, on starting up my MacBookPro today, I cannot connect to the Internet.
I continually receive the error message "Safari can't connect to the server"
I have run diagnostics and my connection is fine, with a full wifi signal.
My iPad, iPhone & iPod all connect perfectly and my router has been unchanged and untouched!
I'm not the most computer-literate person in the world but would appreciate any possible help and advice!
My MacBookPro has the following:
Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Software: OS X 10.8 (12A269) Mountain Lion
Many thanks!!!
Robin

When I try and open it, windows puts up a box saying that windows 7 has a problem with Safari and will not open?
Fingers crossed, your Windows 7 will have been recording some additional information about those.
First, open your Action Center and expand "Maintenance". Click "View reliability history":
Once the reliability report has been generated, look for Critical events for Safari generated at the time of the "Safari has stopped working" messages. Doubleclick the name Safari in the critical events. (Don't click View solution.) Here's a screenshot showing what to doubleclick:
You should see something that looks like the following screenshot:

IPAD2 not connecting to some sites since IOS update

Since the recent IOS 8 update, my IPAD will not connect to some sites. It reads servere not found. I'm trying to get onto my work site which is very important. Now, my IPAD seems useless for work. I have turned off and back on which did not help. I have read that resetting it doesn't help either. Please help.

i checked for updated firmware on the d'link dir-615 router back in september when this first happened (after the ios6 update) but the firmware was already up to date - although the last update was 2009.
This was my first clue.
After further research, I discovered that all DIR series products have been discontinued by D'Link. This means that when apple is preparing for a software update, it requests all software/hardware specs from wifi router companies like D'Link, Netgear, Garmin, Cysco, etc. Since D'LInk no longer produces DIR series routers, they did not provide the info. D'Link only provided info for it's newest line of wireless routers.
Leaving all existing DIR users in the dust, with a failed strategy that we'd all buy the new line of wifi routers.
Yesterday, I purchased an Apple wifi router, although pricey at $99, i plugged it in, typed the network name and pw want to use, and it was up and running in less than 5 minutes. The apple router will recieve software/firmware updates just as my iphone, macbook, & ipad does. Everything is working perfectly, and the higher price is worth the convenience and reliability.
If anyone makes it this far, the only thing left would be to check with your internet service provider (comcast, RCN, etc) and make sure you have the most up to date modem. some folks are unable to send text & pic messages on wifi using an out of date modem. (i didn't have to replace mine, but i'm also not having this issue now that i have the new apple wifi router.)
Hope this helps at least a few people out there.

ICloud E-mail Not Connecting

Hi,
My Mail app (Mac's Mail) won't connect to the iCloud server
p02-imap.mail.me.com
I don't know how to fix it? it's set up by iCloud in Preferences
Thanks
Mark

Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account. Ask to have another verification email sent.

IMAP question - Sent mail not synching to IMAP server

I have several new IMAP accounts (not .mac). They sync fine for received mail. They also sync sent mail fine when I use Thunderbird. But When I use Mail (X.3 - panther), even though I have the box checked to store sent mail on the server, it does not.
--> no sent mail folder is created.
--> mail sent from apple mail does nto show up in Thunderbird
Is this a known bug?
How can I work around it?
Is it fixed in Tiger?
Thanks, I have searched the archives. no luck.
Grant

no messages are ever added to it when I send from Apple Mail. The one email I sent from thunderbird does show up (in both). In another account, the one email I sent from webmail at the Madrid airport shows up, but not the hundreds I have sent in the interim.
Sorry about the confusion.

4s STILL not connecting to home wifi since ios6 update

My wife and I both have the 4s. We have not been able to use our home wifi since the ios6 update in Sept'12.
Our macbook, ipad, and tivo all connect just fine. Our 4s's work fine on any other wifi we need - just not the same dlink router dir-615 we've been using for years.
I've reset my phone, i've reset the router, i'm on WPA/WPA2. We're able to use wifi on the 4s for apps and google for about 2 minutes (this is when i assume everyone says "yey! it's fixed") only then stops working, but still shows we're connected to wifi.
Apple blames the router (some threads speak of apple router's not even working)
Dlink blames the iphone software (i've read even brand new iphones still don't work)
Verizon doesn't care because neither of the products are theirs and i'm using more of my data plan - so they win.
i'm growing increasingly embarassed to be "all apple" when i see the thousands of others with the same problem - and NO HELP from Apple. We're basically on our own here - when we used to be able to rely on the company for expert solutions.
I need a solution that is simple. I want a solution that's easy for guests to use my wifi with out taking their phone apart, rewiring it, hooking it up to my car battery, deciphering 4 different codes, and taking an online course at MIT. I just want to use my password and get on my wifi.
please help - and if you can provide any tips, please ensure you're read the above first!

Mail not connecting regularly since updating to Yosemite

Ever since updating to Yosemite my mail program has had a really hard time staying connected to my email accounts. Both my gmail and my icloud accounts are affected. The settings have not changed, and this worked fine on all previous iterations of OSX.
Could not connect to iMap Server
connection to server "imap....."on port 993 timed out.
I've tried deselcting Use SSL, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. It just times out on port 143.
The only caveat to this is if I quit mail and re-launch, the program connects, but only for a little while.

When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Can anyone help - my mail on my ipad will not connect to the server. My internet access is fine. How can I get my email to connect to the server?

My ipad will not connect tot he server when trying to access my mail. This has been happening since last Sunday. Some have said it is due to the latest software update. I am able to connect to the internet.
I am not having this issue on iPhone.
I checked all the settings, the wireless router in my house and at work.
I have completed a hard reset of the device.
I had our IT guy at work look at it.
He said to contact Apple....
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I can´t set the control panel iCloud. PC writes this: you can not connect because the server error occurred. What´s matters?

I can´t set the control panel iCloud. PC writes this: you can not connect because the server error occurred. What´s matters?

Whenever I log into icloud.com
Using what version of which browser?
iCloud.com requires Safari 6 or later, Firefox 22 or later, or Google Chrome 28 or later. Have you tried all of those?
If you have, have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies?
For the first tine since 1989 I'm thinking about buying a PC.
You'd have exactly the same problems on an 8 year old PC too. It's a bit unreasonable to expect such an old Mac to continue to be compatible as software is constantly updated.
Saying that, I'm still able to access iCloud.com successfully in Safari v5.0.6 on a PowerPC Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8, so the problem you're having is likely to be a browser issue, not something inherently wrong with the computer.
Since all this crap started, Mail won't download my Mac.com or me.com email.
The iCloud.com website is totally unconnected to Mail's ability to download email via IMAP. Have you checked the mail server settings are correctly setup and up-to-date?

TS3276 iCloud email on OSX 10.8 does not connect to the server after sleep

iCloud email on OSX 10.8 does not connect to the server after sleep. The only way I can reconnect the iCloud email is to restart the computer. Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this issue?

I would suggest you try opening "Mail">click on "Mailboxes" in the Menu Bar> and select "Rebuild" from the list. That may solve it.
