Mail won't connect to iCloud, goes offline

Mail has been problematic. Once a day it will not download emails from the servers, and all accounts will go offline. A restart of Mail solves this, but why does it happen? Aslo, Mail won't connect with iCloud, with the password not being accepted both in Mail and in the System Preferences. However, the password does work with accessing iCloud via browser. How would I fix this?

Apparently NO ONE knows how to fix this problem. I've scoured the posts on the Apple discussions and a lot of people have this problem, but no one can solve it. And ANY suggestions are always the ones that we all know how to try anyway. Never anything new. No one can solve the problem and obviously Apple doesn't give a rat! They never help either. I see a LOT of posts with a QUESTION, and no one answers them.

TS3276 Mail won't connect with iCloud

Hi My mail will not connect to pick up mail from iCloud. I have to quit and restart Mail to get it to connect, which it then does automatically. Any ideas why this should be?

Try using connection doctor utilities.

Apple Mail won't connect to GoDaddy pop server

Hi all,
I have entered all the correct server information to connect to GoDaddy's pop server but Mail won't connect. I can connect to the smtp server without a problem. The same settings work perfectly in Entourage, so my information is correct. Has anyone else experienced this issue and fixed it?
Here are the settings:
POP: pop.secureserver.net
AUTHENTICATION: password
Thanks,
John

Mine stopped wotking on the 9th, under the mail app on the left hand side, if you have triangles with ! marks in them, perform a left click and start "Mail Connection Doctor" This may help pinpoing the issue.
Mine is failing at trying to connect on port 143.
This worked for me, go the accounts settings window and in each gmail account enter the following info
Advanced Tab
IMAP Path Prefix enter [Gmail]
If you then tick "Use SSL" this should make the port 993
Authentication shold be set to "password"
Then save these settings, finally email is received, hope this helps.
Let is know how you get on.

"Mail" won't Connect

Recently 'repaired permissions'. When opening Mail, 'keychain' now asks for password. This can tend to get annoying so I set (within iTools I believe) the preference to not ask for password everytime I connect to mail. Now 'Mail' won't connect at all. Okay if I go to .Mac. Just won't connect from my comp.
Trying to get things back they way they were. Excuse my ingnorance on what should be a relatively simple app.

Any error message provided and if so, what?
It isn't Mail but the account or accounts not connecting to the incoming mail server. How many accounts are you accessing with the Mail.app and the type - .Mac, IMAP or POP?

My nokia e mail won't connect to server

My nokia e mail won't connect to server please help i've tried everything i know

Thanks for your response.
I did that already. I did the full maintenance treatment: Disk Warrior, followed by Applejack AUTO (which does a permissions repair and caches clean), followed by three PRAM zaps.
In accordance with Murphy's Law, it started working again about the time your post came in, but it had been hours of it not working after running the aforementioned gauntlet.
I have my doubts whether it will keep working. Meantime, Mail is humming along on my MBP. If you have any other ideas, I'd love to see them!
Cheers,

TS3276 the connec doctor sr but mac mail won't connect?

How do you connect to gmail in mac mail when the connection doctor says the connection was successful to the server but mac mail won't connect even after re-inputting the password?

mac mail won't connect to the Comcast POP or smpt servers
So your saying that you have comcast at home and it works fine from this machine?
If you mail works fine at home, then if it doesn't work on the road, it most likely isn't your machine. It is some other problem:
-- with the other network
-- perhaps comcast is preventing foreign mail from working.

Mac Notes won't connect to iCloud; system preferences crash despite fixes tried

I am on 10.8.5, have not updated to Mavericks yet. My Mac for notes doesn't want to connect to iCloud so that my notes will sync between all devices.
I have tried all of the solutions that seemed to work for others, like deleting cache, rebooting, making sure all devices are set to iCloud, typing a new note. I think I remember telling iCloud not to sync notes many years ago but now I do want it to sync and it won't allow.
Here is the error message I get when I click on 'notes' after going to accounts/icloud.

Mail won't connect in certain cases

If I open the Mail app "too early" after starting up my Mac it won't connect to any of my email accounts. The connection doctor says that Mail was able to connect to the internet. Despite this, it won't work in any way, if not after restarting the Mac, as logging out and back in won't help at all.
Even if I leave its window open and, when shutting down, I select to re-open the windows when logging back in the issue will show up.
Annoying!
My Mac is up-to-date, so, please don't tell me to investigate problems that do not exist. I rather reckon that this issue is connected to a bug than to any bad action I may take, as I just click on the Mail like I ever did before icon and that's it. I also already sent a feedback to Apple about this.

Hey there Streeme,
It sounds like Mail is not connecting to any of your Mail servers at all. Thanks to the screenshot you posted of the Connection Doctor, I recommend this info from the following article, named:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
Click here if a "Could not connect to this (server type) server…" message appears
Check for third-party firewall software
Third-party firewall software, such as Little Snitch or Symantec Norton Personal Firewall, could be blocking the necessary ports. If such software is installed, make sure the firewall is not blocking these ports:
ports 25, 465, and 587 (for sending email via SMTP)
ports 143 and 993 (if you use IMAP email)
ports 110 and 995 (if you use POP email)
If you're not sure how to enable the correct ports, try disabling the third-party firewall completely, then test for the Mail issue. Note: The Mac OS X v10.6 firewall does not interfere with ports needed to send email.
Check for Internet Service Provider port blocking
Your Internet Service Provider may be blocking the SMTP ports needed to send email.
You can use Apple's MobileMe service to find out if your Internet Service Provider is blocking the sending email protocol SMTP:
Open Network Utility.
Click the "Port Scan" tab.
Enter "smtp.me.com" in the "Enter an Internet or IP address to scan for open ports" field.
Enable "Only test ports between _ and _", and enter 25 for both port fields.
Click "Scan" to test.
If you do not see "Open TCP Port: 25 smtp", contact your Internet Service Provider or visit their support website for further assistance. If you do see "Open TCP Port: 25 smtp", your Internet Service Provider is not blocking the SMTP ports needed to send email. Go to the "'Trying to log in to this (email server provider name) account failed…' message or any other error message appears" section below if the email issue persists.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Apple Mail won't connect to Gmail

My Apple Mail 4.5 has been working fine up until a couple of weeks ago. I don't know what happened, but now it won't connect to Gmail. It says something like port 993 time out? I've been searching online to find solutions, but none of them seems to work. I can still log in thru webmail and I've already checked to see if my POP and IMAP are enabled in Gmail settings. Please help Apple Geniuses. Thanks.

Anything here help?

Mail won't connect to mail servers

This has happened before and my only solution was to reset the iPod.
I'm connecting to .Me and Comcast mail. The iPod tries and tries and won't connect. It worked fine just the other day and I believe it was working fine after the upgrade to 2.0.2. Mail would download very quickly.
Anyone else run into this? The Mail app just sits and spins and won't ever connect. I'll be restoring the iPod tonight but this is very frustrating.

My iPod Touch with latest software upgrade simply won't connect to my POP Mail Servers to retrieve mail. Oddly, I can send messages using the same Servers! GMAIL work fine.
I have deleted and recreated the account definitions many times and reset the iPod. I know the entered details (password etc) are correct.
It worked a month or so ago but has always been intermittent - I am sure this is a bug in the Mail application.
What is strange is that the SSL and Port Number keep getting changed after I set them to the correct settings. If I change them back they eventually change again to (SSL=Yes and some other Port Number).
This is my first Apple device and, while it is a great piece of hardware, the software reliability and support leaves me wondering why everyone has been panning Microsoft all these years.

Mail can't connect to iCloud since Maverick update

Since I've updated my OS to Maverick I keep losing connection to iCloud mail. My gmail is fine but my iCloud address loses connection daily.

I found a solution that seems to work for me.
Open Mail, in the menu bar go to MAIL, select PREFERENCES, select your iClOUND ACCOUNT, select ADVANCED, in AUTHENTICATION select APPLE TOKEN.
This should solve the Problem.
Good luck

Pages won't connect to iCloud

I have a iPad Mini (64g) with Pages that I have used, connected to the cloud, to work on various papers. However, I have recently had difficulty with Pages (as well as Keynote, and Numbers) connecting with iCloud and subsequently I can not access my documents that are on iCloud. I have the most recent IOS (7.1.1) version and when I go into settings for each app (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) the iCloud option is turned on. However, when I open the each app, the iCloud documents are not there and when I go back into settings the iCloud option has automatically been turned off. I am connected to my usual home network (that works fine for my other devices) and have tried deleting and reinstalling, logging off and back onto iCloud but nothing works. Does anyone have any idea of what may be going on an how best to solve it?
Thanks

Blackbery04 and TravisJ643,
I'm curious if you received any further assistance from Apple. I'm having the same issue and can't believe nothing's been done about it. I've gone through all the steps to correct the problem that you've both tried and nothing's resolved.
It's not really an isolated issues, as the recent app reviews in the App Store show that this is a more known issue than what you see here. Not a surprise, as your average computer user doesn't go to support communities for answers.
Of all apps, word processors should be smooth-functioning, dependable workhorses. I don't know what Apple thinks people do with word processors ("Lost" posters for cats? Pretty resumes for 20 year olds?), but Page's functionality and support have always been amateurish by comparison to its competitors.
B & T, let me know if you hear anything.

Does iTunes connected with iCloud work offline?

I want to know if I can listen to my music that is connected to iCloud while not connected to the internet? Or is there a way to save it onto my computer so i can listen to it offline?

How is your music connected to icloud? If you have music locally on your computer, then you can listen anytime you want.
