Migrate account to icloud - read mail with 10.6?

I have an active mobileme account (paid) but I have not yet migrated to icloud. I have a mac running 10.6.8 and multiple ios devices running 5.x.
From what I read, if I migrate my account to icloud, I should be able to read my mail in mail.app, provided I set the account correctly (IMAP, server, etc.). But because I do not have 10.7.x I will not get the other functions of icloud, such as bookmark and contact sync, on my mac.
Is this correct?
Thanks

You can only do this from a Mac running 10.7.5 or above, or Mountain Lion; or an iOS5 or above device; or the iCloud Control Panel on a compliant version of Windows.
If you only have access to the Mac and don't want to upgrade the system you could go to an Apple Store and ask the 'Genius' to do it for you (make an apppointment). Note that you won't be able to cancel the automatic renewal yourself .
If you decide to upgrade your Mac you will need to check that it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Can;t set up iCloud in Mail with Mavericks

Hi,
I am unable to set up icloud in mail. II used migration assistant tto migrate from an older macbook pro running mavericks to a new one and for some reason there was an issue with iCloud Mail. I then tried to add the account and despite no error messages, it fails to display in Mail.
I am able to set up other accounts like Gmail and Exchange and they behave properly. I have the latest version of Mail v7 (updated) and have successfully set up iCloud using a test account on my mac. This means that the problem is user specific. I have tried removing mail dir in library and plists in preferences to set up mail again but with no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,
I just got a Mac for a first time and I'm trying to configure Mail 3.5 with my gmail account and even after having followed all the steps seen on this forum, I just can't do it. The messages that come up are:
"The IMAP server "imap.gmail.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"
AND
"The SMTP server "smtp.gmail.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 send messages"
it might be very basic but I can't manage. Can anyone help??
Thanks in advance!!

How I can synchronize my Mail Accounts in Windows Live Mail with iOS?

I am using a Mac mini with Mountain Lion (10.8.5). I have tried deleting all my three accounts and recreating them, but in whatever order I create them, they always appear in the same order as before. I should be most grateful for further advice.
You'll probably get more responses if you post in the Mountain Lion forums.
Best of luck.

Block and Unblock the .zip and .rar files based on doamin or user account base on incoming mails with ironport email security.

Hi All,
Request you all to help me out in blocking/dropping only the attachments with the extension .rar and .zip in incoming mails for particular users or domains.
as of now I have did for all the domains or users.However, I want to unblock it only for some particular/specific users and for rest it should block.
kindly help me with the steps to do the configuration.
Thanks a ton in advance
Regards,
LRN

It sounds like you just need to use different incoming mail policies per group of individuals you want to block/drop .rar and .zip and those which you don't want this to happen.
The fact that you want a specific group to be allowed receipt of these and everyone else should have these blocked I would recommend creating an additional incoming mail policy that does NOT have a content filter that performs this blocking. Add the appropriate users to this incoming mail policy. Then create a incoming content filter that does this dropping of .rar and .zip files and apply this to the Default Incoming Mail Policy.
The content filter in this situation would not need a condition, just a action of strip attachments by file info , filename contains .rar or .zip
Here is a useful regex for the content filter action: (?i)\.(zip|rar)
Hope this helps!

Read mails with embedded screenshot and .msg attachment

Hi Folks,
Requirement : Fetch emails from an email box and store it in Oracle Database for further processing.
Issue faced : 1) I am unable to fetch the screenshot embedded in the email. I tried fetching them as an attachment, but when I try to open the attachment its throws an error.
2) When an email with .msg attachment is received, the disposition and file name are read as null and hence the attachment is not read.
I tried searching on net but all that I see is how to send such emails and not fetch one .
Can any one please guide me through this?
Thanks

What program is being used to send the messages with attachments?
If you read the message using (e.g.) Thunderbird and save the attachment, is it correct?
If possible, use the JavaMail msgshow.java sample program to read the message and save the attachments. Does that work correctly?
If none of that helps you figure out the source of the problem, I'm going to need more details to help you debug it. I'm going to need to see the part of your code that saves the attachment, the debug output when your program reads the message and saves the attachment, and possibly a sample message with attachment that demonstrates the problem. It's probably easier to send that information to me at [email protected]

Error in Read Mail Action Block in MII

Hi All,
I am getting the below error while trying to connect to the server.
INFO : ReadMail: Connecting To: xy.abc.com
[ERROR]: ReadMail Error: Connect failed; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
ERROR: ACTION FAILED: End Action ReadMail_0 :
But with the same credentials I am able to send mail from MII using the Send mail action block.
Mail Account and Password parameters are properly maintained.
I have tried this with both available Protocols POP3 and IMAP4 with respective port numbers.
Also tried with default Port as 110, but still facing same error.
Did any one faced this problem before?

Hi All,
Still this problem is not resolved. I have tried reading mails with same credentials from other clients which gives correct output. Whereas Read Mail Action Block in MII is not giving any output and gives above mentioned error.
Kindly help me on this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Why do I not receive iCloud e-mails when there is a specific group of "To:" addresses in the body of an e-mail

I noticed this when I started my iCloud e-mail account a few months ago. I am not receiving iCloud e-mails when there is a specific group of "To:" addresses in the body of an e-mail. I can receive the e-mail on my outlook & local cable providor e-mail accounts with all of the addresses listed. If I strip out the "To:" addresses and send it from my local cable providor e-mail account to my iCloud e-mail account than I will receive the e-mail in my iCloud account (minus all of the "To:" addresses that are in the body of the e-mail. This has caused me to miss a lot of e-mails.
Following is one of the e-mail that I can send from my cable providor account and not receive it in iCloud. If I strip out all of the "To:" addresses I will receive it in iCloud. I have a case open with Apple but it is not going anywhere. This occurs from multiple sending internet service providors (ISP's) so I think it's an Apple iCloud e-mail processing issue.

I've been having a very similar problem to what ziemsen describes, for about a week now. The Mail app has stopped delivering new messages to the Inbox, even though I can view the newly incoming messages on the server via Webmail. I am able to send email through Mail with this email account, and as for the other email accounts that I have on Mail (which are also hosted by the same server), I am able to both receive and send email with no problem.
None of the mail settings have been changed, so how this happened all of a sudden is very puzzling. I have checked Account Info on the problem account - Mail recognizes that there are messages that are on the server yet to be downloaded, but it won't download them.
I've checked what other users have suggested here in the Discussions Forum, and tried: 1) deleting the problem Mail account from Mail and re-adding it; 2) creating a new machine User account and setting up Mail with that User; 3) setting up Mail on another machine; 4) archiving and re-installing OS, and even 5) wiping the HD entirely and reinstalling the OS. None of these have worked.
Ernie, your suggestion of deleting the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file sounded like the solution to the problem, so I just tried it - but to no avail. Mail delivers messages that are on the server to my Inbox up until the same point that it always stops at, and there are almost 1000 new messages since then.
I am pretty lost at this point - I have no idea what else I can possibly do to resolve this problem. The strange thing is, when I tested my email accounts on Microsoft Entourage and Mozilla Thunderbird, they don't have this problem - both deliver all of my incoming mail. I may have no choice but to switch to one or the other at this point, but I'm attached to Mail and would really like to continue using it if I can. Any advice would be much much appreciated.
very best,
biteringo

ICloud and Mail rules

I have set up my computer (2.66 GHz iMac core 2 duo, OSX 10.9.4) with two users to separate my fishing club activities from the rest of my life. I would like to use different MAIL RULES to sort mail on each of the user accounts. I would also like to sync some of my activities such as Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Notes between the accounts. If I link both accounts over iCloud, the MAIL RULES are synced period!! Unselecting mail for either or both accounts using the iCloud preference has no effect. To prevent syncing RULES requires signing one or the other account out of iCloud. This means, of course, that I am unable to sync Calendars, Contacts, etc. Does anyone know of a work-around for this dilemma?
Thanks in advance.
TomJF

I'm using the same Apple ID for both accounts to allow syncing.
I use QUICKEN to track finances. The main reasons I set up two users is to separate fishing club finances from my personal finances and to separate documents. At this point I have decided to combine the two accounts; sort documents; and open separate QUICKEN accounts as needed. I do think that Apple Mail needs attention to correct inconsistencies such as the one I pointed out.
Thank you for your Comments

I setup my iCloud account on my iPhone 5 with the wrong e mail address, and I don't remmber the password, I reset my tel and erase all the information on my iPhone in order to try to set up a new iCloud account but when I restart I have a problem agaIn , they ask me to put again the old iCloud user account and password, what I can do in order to start the phone when I don't have the correct e mail and I don't remmber the passcode.?

I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
IMAP information for the incoming mail server
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 993
Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
Password: Your iCloud password

Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
Try again.

I don't receive mail with instructions to verify iCloud account

I changed my AppleID and now my iCloud was blocked. I recieve an iCloud message informing that a mail with "instructions to verify" my account was send, but this e-mail never come!!
Now I am without access to all my Number files, worksheets very very important that I need to use right now!!!
What the problem?
How can I solve this??
Thank you!

The mail was sent to mail account provided as "rescue" while creating Apple ID.
In the "send mail" link you can see first letter of that mail account, and domain (e.g. [email protected] for [email protected])

TS4020 "cannot get mail" The connection to the server failed. My mail account from Icloud will work if I only disconnect my wifi in my iphone and use internet plan from carrier. Anybody else with this proble??

My mail account from icloud will work if I only disconnect my wifi in my iphone and only use internet plan from my carrier. Anybody else with this problem??

I've been having the same problem since iCloud appeared and complicated an otherwise trouble-free system. Doubling frustrating is that iCloud duplicates my .Mac account so I get two of everything in my Inbox. I turned off iCloud and now mail at least goes out but I can't delete the duplicate account.

TS3276 When I try sending emails through Mail with my iCloud account, it says "Unable to Sign Message"

I cannot send messgaes through Mail with my iCloud account. Whenever I try sending them, it tells me "Unable to sign message".
Does anybody know how to fix it?

Check if you have set the correct language and country in your Apple TV. Maybe you are trying to connect to the wrong iTunes store.

SOS!! HELP! My iCloud keeps trying to log in with my old e-mail account and I have to access to it anymore, I changed the iCloud e-mail!! HELP I can't update anything!!!

So my e-mail got hacked and I had to create a new one and change all the programs, apps, etc that where linked to it; I also changed my iCloud e-mail but my mac and iPhone won't allow me to change the e-mail in the iCloud settings, please help!! I've already erased my iPhone completely but can't afford to erase everything in my computer! What can I do????

You need to go to System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign Out'. Then sign back in with the new ID, and enable the data types you want to sync in the checklist there. Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out but will reappear (give it time) when you sign back in.
