Incoming email-server
I cannot change the incoming email-server. This field is grey. I have to change the information in this field.
If you are running OS X Lion or higher, your iCloud email settings are automatically configured by going to System Preferences>iCloud and checking Mail. If your account isn't working, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac then check Mail again. This will remove, then recreate your iCloud email account.

ICloud incoming mail server setting.
I'm not getting iCloud email and the incoming mail server setting (p99-imap.mail.me.com) is dimmed out and not editable. Ideas?

You don't have to type any server info for your iCloud account.
System prefs > Mail, Contacts & Calendars - New account and select iCloud.
Unfortunately, that was step 1 in the process of not being able to use my mail in iCloud. Also, I have tried changing my password to 8 numbers/letter, etc. in accordance with the new AppleID rules, but that did not work. I have also tried deleting and recreating my account multiple times. I am definitely willing to try any more suggestions. -
Good day all,
For most of the day yesterday I and many others were having difficulty authenticating iOS mail and OS X mail clients to the Apple "appleid.apple.com" servers. It may have been a load issue or a configuration issue on the servers (which are used for both mobileme and icloud. By mid-evening on the east oast of the USA the occurences of password reject were diminishing and now seem to have stabilized.
Today I am having problems with the incoming server bank at "p02-imap.mail.me.com". It either does not connect or does not respond in adequate time to satisfy the Apple mail clients.
I have 4 ex-family MobileMe accounts converted to iCloud. Three of them were assigned "p99-imap.mail.me.com" for incoming mail. The fourth was assigned "p02-imap.mail.me.com". In all instances the incoming mail server was populated during account migration and is not editable.
As an issue of curiousity, does anyone know how the incoming mail server was assigned? Did the first 250,000 of us get one server and the next another, etc.?
I suspect "pXX-imap.mail.me.com" is a server bank with load balancing implemented across multiple servers. Or maybe (shudder) we are hard assigned one physical server (p99, p02, etc.).
It would be interesting to know how Apple's new improved data center(s) have been logically configured for redundancy, load balancing and fail over.
Sorry - it's the geek in me wondering why I can't get my email from a specific Apple resource ("p02-imap.mail.me.com").

Incoming Email on Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2012:
SMTP and the associated management tools are deprecated. Though the functionality is still available in Windows Server 2012, you should begin using System.Net.Smtp. With this API, you will not be able to insert a message into a file for pickup; instead configure
Web applications to connect on port 25 to another server using SMTP.
Question:
If this is the case, is there a TechNet article that has instructions for installing/using incoming email on a SharePoint 2013 web front end?
What I know:
Why do we install deprecated features http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263260 (Plan incoming email for a SharePoint farm in SharePoint 2013) to make this work?
What to do:
I want to use the basic scenario for incoming email, but with the information above about Windows Server it looks rather like idiotic to follow those directions in the TechNet article.
How to do this:
"... instead configure Web applications to connect on port 25 to another server using SMTP." Huh? Oh stupid me!
Thoughts???
NOTE: We do use Exchange for incoming email.
ChrisYou will need to continue to use the IIS6 SMTP Virtual Server for SharePoint incoming email. I'm sure by the time the feature is dropped, the SharePoint group will have an alternate solution.

I've just updated and installed Mountain Lion. I've clicked for iCloud for Mail. The correct information in the email address, Full name and Incoming mail server panes are greyed out, and I can get no further in bring my iCloud a/c online. Any ideas? Thanks.
They are grayed out because they are automatically set up whey you check Mail in System Preferences. If you didn't do that, go back and do so and your iCloud email account will be set up automatically.

I'm tryingt to set up my email through my school account and i'm not sure what it means when i'm asked to enter a incoming mail server and an outgoing mail server. Help would be appreciated thanks
Since no one here has any idea about what type of mail your school offers...you don't mention what school...your question, as asked, can't be answered. What don't you contact your school's IT dept., or look online. Most schools have instructions on how to do so online.

Hi, I have private emails in IPAD2, i have chaged the incoming mail server name and saved the change.
but, when I back to read my old emails in inbox it's gone away, I have backed to setting and return the previous
incoming mail name, but also I did't get the old emails. where I can find the old emails in my IPAD2 ?It is only the link to your emails which are 'stored' on your iPad. You will have to enter all proper email addresses to get the message associated with them, which, in practice, means multiple accounts. If all still does not work try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release].

HT5361 What is the incoming mail server when setting up a apple email address?
When setting up a new email account the field for the incoming mail server is greyed out. How do I add the info?
It should load that automatically. It varies.
It will be some variant of imap.mail.me.com. That may get it to look up the correct one. -

Incoming emails take a long time on OS X Server
I had Lion Server 10.7 and recently upgraded to 10.8 in hopes that this problem would go away but it hasn't.
I find that emails (particularily but not limited to incoming emails) are very slow to arrive. Last week, a client emailed me in the morning about our appointment later that day... I didn't receive it until that evening. My wife apparently emailed me three times today and I've yet to get them... one was a response to an email that I sent her.
Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone heard of this type of thing happening due to a poorly set up DNS?probably grey-listing.
Mail from new senders is delayed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greylisting
Its very effective in fighting spam, but does introduce delays which many find unnaceptable
If you would like to disable it
Change the setting via Terminal
sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:greylist_disable = yes
Then activate the change
sudo postfix reload -
Using Mail with Yosemite 10.10.2.The incoming mail server keeps changing by itself and means I can't access my mail. I go to preferences and find that the new incoming server is greyed out . I then have to remove the accounts and then add them again with the correct server. The incoming server which is greyed out is imap.gmail.com
Try Mail/Preferences/Accounts - select the account, then go to Advanced and deselect "Automatically detect and maintain account settings".

Trouble with Email after Update - Help - No Incoming Mail Server
I updated my iPad 2 to the new IOS 5 software and have been unable to use the mail function. I have tried deleting the account re-installing, turning on and off the iPad, etc. but it always prompts me with the same message;
The IMAP server, "apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered hte correct information int eh "Incoming Mail Server" field.
All the rest of the Network functions seem to be working correctly. One additional detail - for some reason it does not seem that the "Incoming Mail Server" field downloaded during the update because there are no options (or maybe I do not know how to get to it) on how to change the incoming mail server information. This is true for both my iPad and iPhone 4.
