ICloud says it's sending an e-mail to verify my account but no e-mail arrives, this is very annoying.

I have just downloaded the new OS X Mountain Lion onto my macbook and as I have an iphone and ipad I wanted to setup the iCloud, I have done everything I'm supposed to in the instructions and then I get as far as a screen saying that apple will send me an e-mail to verify my account, but the e-mail never arrives, I've checked the junk mail and I still can't sort it, it's getting a bit annoying now, it's took the best part of the day to put the Lion on and now I feel like it's all been a waste of time   Sorry for the rant I just hope someone out there has the answer.  Many thanks

Sometimes, that email can take quite a while before you see it.

  • HT1937 I have been asked by e-mail to verify my account details plus bank details is this the norm or just a scam?

    Is the above question a scam?

    If someone is asking for account and bank details by email, it is a scam.

    Make sure that your Apple ID is your email address and you do not have any other or old IDs associated with you. Go to www.appleid.apple.com and confirm this info. Make sure that the email address you are trying to sign up with is your primary one.

  • I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. Help!

    I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. I've been on the phone with yahoo mail and they've verified that my account settings are correct and I can send email from yahoo. I can receive emails via Mac mail, but just can't send them. An error message appears that says:
    "Sending the message content to the server failed." I can't send emails from my Mac desktop, iphone or ipad. Any suggestions! Help! I'm a Mac rookie and so frustrated! Thanks.

    Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look. 

  • I can receive mail on my mac account, but I can't send mail. What should I do?

    I can receive mail on my mac account, but I can't send mail.  What should I do?

    Hello, sounds like you haven't switched to iCloud yet, the old dot Mac & MobileMe servers are going away or gone for most already.
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    I have an old apple ID # that I used to purshase hundreds of dollars of I-Tunes.  Unfortunately I cannot reset the PW because the email account no longer exists so when it says it is sending information to reset PW to email account it is going nowhere.  How am I able to reset the PW.  Also, when it asks for my birthdate in order to reset it that way I use the birthdates of everyone in my family and not one works.  Please help.

    Perhaps that email you're waiting for was blocked as spam or is in your junk folder.  Something like that.

    Hi stanlaw,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below should help you with this.
    Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
    How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
    When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
    1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
    2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
    3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!
    - Judy

  • Cannot setup e-mail on ipad2 accepts account but will not send mail ?

    cannot setup e-mail on ipad2 accepts account but will place messages in out box and not send ?

    It could be that your ISP wants you to use a specific outgoing mail server. Check with your ISP. Sometimes they will only allow you to use their outgoing mail server when you're on their network and not your own. For example, if you use Optimum Online they may only let you use mail.optonline.com for outgoing so you couldn't use mail.yourdomain.com.
    They do this to cut down on people sending spam from their networks.

    Hi Irfan
    CMR is Customer Master record , because we need to maintain the e-mail address in the customer master record (CMR) and that CMR  e-mail address only it has to pick when you are sending the e-mail  output to the customer
    If you have maintained the condition record then Check in the condition record , VV12 wheather the partner function is SP (sold to party) or some other partner function is coming .Also check in t.code SOST E-mail queue  which partner function is coming . Because If partner function is not coming then there is a chance of sending a E-mail to a dummy E-mail address also .
    Kindly check the configuration you have done again. and also integrate with the ABAP'er so that he will let you know the problem
    Regards
    Srinath

    - To change ID go to Settings>Store and sign out and sign in with the one you want. If you iPod has iOS 5 you may have to also go to Settings>iCloud and sign into the second account.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
