Imap settings for iCloud stopped working today

Hi there,
Out of the blue - and just after I committed to go deeper down the Apple rabbit whole (just bought my first Mac) - my emails stopped working this afternoon.
I'm using my iCloud account with manual server settings so that I can use my own personal email outgoing email and SMTP.
This has been working fine for a year now (imap.mail.me.com incoming server, etc). Now it started complaining that there is a mismatch between password and username. Only that it's fine. Works on my Mac. Works in iCloud on the web. And I didn't change anything.
Wiped out the phone and put on a backup from two days ago. Still, don't receive anything. Same error message.
I'm at a loss. Anyone else experiencing this who sets up mail settings manually for iCloud?

Thanks for replying. Sorry to hear that you're having issues as well. I'm pretty sure it's on Apple's end. It'll probably go away again without them ever acknowleding anything.
I'm looking into alternative solutions right now. I have my own domain name but it doesn't come with any push mail option. That's why I'm using iCloud this way. I'm thinking about buying into the small business MS Office 365 plan for $60 and call it a day. Just need to figure out how to set it up without switching the domain over to the evil empire.
This is all very frustrating. And all because Apple doesn't allow for an easy way to have your own reply-to adress in iOS.
To compare notes:
I'm located in the North East. Provider is T-mobile. Server used on the phone is (and has been for a long time) imap.mail.me.com
Otherwise I'm pretty sure my server is p18.

  • Mail settings for iCloud, etc

    I'm using 10.6.8.
    I see two kbases for setting up Apple Mail to work with iCloud email.
    But, one says it's specifically for 10.6. The other is for other email apps, using IMAP setup.
    But, wouldn't the IMAP settings in the second work for 10.6 as well?
    10.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5330
    other apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    I gues I'm trying to figure out why they are different since iCloud is an IMAP account, but both articles have different settings for that

    it would seem one of those kbases made sure to mention option-click in the process to allow edits in the IMAP setup.
    So, in the 10.6 info:
    mail.me.com
    user name (excluding @me.com)
    smtp.me.com
    But, in the iCloud server setting for email clients:
    imap.mail.me.com
    user name=[email protected]
    smtp.mail.me.com
    It seems user name under each is different in that one wants @iCloud.com and the other doesn't.
    Also, "imap" is added to the icoming and outgoing info.
    I set my SL up using the "icloud: mail server settings" instead of the one for 10.6.
    But, I was trying to figure WHY there are two different ways and why specifically 10.6 differs.

  • I will be travelling abroad but use time machine and modem at home. Do I need to leave these switched on while away for iCloud to work?

    I will be travelling abroad but use time machine and modem at home. Do I need to leave these switched on while away for iCloud to work?

    No. iCloud has nothing to do with Time Machine on your computer, and as long as your computer has synched all desired content and settings to iCloud, not only does the modem not need to be switched on, your computer doesn't need to be on either.
    Regards.

  • Express stopped working today

    My Express stopped working today. Moved it from a plug where it had been working to another and no I can't see it from my Mac, though I can see it from my Windows laptop as a live wireless connection, it shows up on the PC as Apple Network 5f7ea1, but is absent from my Mac.
    I've reset it, and confirmed it has version 6.1.1 installed (the updater could see it) , but I can't get AirPort admin to see it from either computer. Now it just displays a blinking amber light and doesn't work.

    I've seen references to "Turn it off" before, but the only way to do that is unplug it. Or am I missing something? I've unplugged it a few times to no avail.
    For the record, I'm connecting to this from an Extreme base station.

  • Why did my greasemonkay powerbot for koc stop working?

    I installed version 7 and powerbot for koc stopped working (this is a user created greasemonkey script).

    Only the Greasemonkey Tools tab is hidden after updating to Firefox 7. This is the tab that shows the summaries for data in all the KOC cities.
    My add-ons are not disabled, after reinstalling them and making sure they were enabled I was able to change the settings for everything except the Tools; Tools is enabled but the tab is missing making it unusable.
    There are a lot of KOC users having this same problem and I am working with a Windows expert that told me he fixed the problem by reinstalling everything, not closing Firefox but disconnecting from KOC, clearing the cache, shutting down Firefox and leaving it down for more than 30 seconds, and then restarting it. I am working on this fix now, I hope it works.

  • How to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise

    how to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise?

    There are no settings to change. Assuming you are using Lion 10.7.2 (or 10.7.3) - which you should be - you simply sign in in System Preferences>iCloud and check 'Contacts' and any other data you want to sync.
    If you are using an earlier system you will not be able to sync your contacts, and there is no workaround. However you can sync them with Google or Yahoo contacts, though I don't know how well this works.

  • Do I have to have a .me address for iCloud to work?

    Do I have to have a .me email address for iCloud to work?
    I want to keep my old email address.
    Does the email get forwarded to the new address if the contact I have don't have my .me address?

    iCloud email does not consolidate any of your existing email. It is just another IMAP mail server.  When you create an iCloud account you get a me.com address (or use an existing one if you are currently using MobileMe). If you want your email forwarded from an existing email account you will have to set that up with your current email provider.

  • Apps stopped working today

    my apps stopped working today. When I click one it shows the loading screen then goes back to the home screen it was on. I also have been able to get the home screen to be stuck between pages often today.
    The only thing I did today was install bubble wrap and play it once then when I went to play pandora for the way to work it started happening.
    Turning off and on didn't fix it. Any ideas?

    Sometimes other apps does not release memory properly. So when you try running another app, iPhone terminates it. For some, turning off the iPhone (pressing the Sleep/Wake button) frees the memory, for some you need to reset the phone (pressing the Sleep/Wake and the Home button for 18 sec). What I do, when I use a lot of apps and after I'm done, I just turn off/on the phone. I also recommend reading the reviews before downloading an app - if there are comments like "it crashes my iPhone" or "It hangs", then I don't download it or wait until the developer fixes the issue.

    My iphone 5 speakerphone just stopped working today as i was on the phone.  i have tried to use it, and it doesnt work.  THis really stinks because now im completly unable to video chat and do other things.. please help!!!

    Booked into the Genius Bar at the Apple store in the Manchester Arnedale shopping centre and arrived on time today.
    The staff asked if I had backed it up, which I responded that I had. I also explained that I had been on the forums and followed some of the advice.
    My iphone 5 was only 7 months old and still under warranty, so I should have expected excellent service, and I got it. The phone was repaired by the store and returned to me approximately 30 minutes earlier.
    Happy days.
