MobileMe to iCloud email password rejected??

Iam getting really frustrated, not sure if anyone can help here with any advice.  I recently upgraded my MobileMe account to icloud I keep receiving the following error message on my Mac.  It states: "The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user".  I entered the correct password numerous times and it keeps giving the same error message.  It doesnt happen all the time, and as a result my mailbox keeps going offline.  My yahoo email works fine.  I tried to contact apple support the other day and they didn't know what the problem was.  Any advice?  I tried to look up in help the correct settings but not sure what the right settings are, such as port? etc... These are what my settings look like:
Outgoing mail is on server (SMTP): icloud (the other option is smtp.me.com) but it defaults to the icloud one
under advanced tab it is set to port 993 (but in help it mentions other ports)

Same bloody thing here.  I've gotten several different errors.  iCal invites won't sync from mail to my calendar.  My password hasn't changed, I've logged onto iCloud, no problem.  Why did't Apple just create a .cloud email addy?  On top of this, since Lion, I've seen more spinning coloured wheels and just frozen apps than I care to see.  I'm thinking all of this was shoved out the door before it was ready.  I regret the upgrade and am seriously thinking of a reinstall to SL.  Starting to think I am dealing with Windows.  Since the update to the ios, I've lost a chunk of my email.  I'm sick of these issues.  Please give me software that will allow my Mac Pro and super HS connection work for me.  Gawd.

  • HT204053 how do i reset my additional iCloud email password which i forgot because of all your new pw requirements

    how do i reset my additional iCloud email password which i forgot because of your new PW requirements

    The password for your iCloud email is the same as the password where you sing into System Preferences>iCloud or http://icloud.com - can you sign in in the latter? If so and your email doesn't work you should sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in again, and check Mail and any other data tyupes you want to sync. You data will disappear from your Mac when you do this but re-appear when you sign back in again.
    If you can't sign in at http://icloud.com you should go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Reset password' - sign in with your iCloud login and follow the instructions.

    Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support.

  • Forgot my iCloud email password how do I get it reset

    When I set up my new iCloud email I thought I used my apple I'd but when I go into setting the password has less characters than my apple I'd password and I can't remember what I put (even though it was only 2 days ago) how do I reset it?

    You should be signing in with the ID you use to sign into iCloud, not its email address.
    If you still have the same issue, try entering the birthday one day earliert if you are not in the USA (time zone difference). Failing that, you will need to contact Support.
    To contact  Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you will probably be asked to pay a fee - you could try asking them to handle it free, sometimes they do.

  • Transfer MobileMe to iCloud - email problem

    I transferred from MobileMe to iCloud yesterday
    I am using the same .mac address but have changed my AppleID to this as suggested
    I now see an iCloud account on all my devices (iMac, iPhone and iPad2)
    I receive emails but the inbox only holds one or two messages and then seems to shift them direct to Archive
    I can't read archive file on the regular Mail programme - only by going to iCloud.com.
    I have not instituted any rules on iCloud but it seems to be behaving as if I have?
    Any ideas??
    Happy New Year

  • I forgot my icloud email password. I use a different email account for my AppleID.  How can i reset my Icloud email password?

    I need to reset my password for my iCloud email. I forgot the password because I made it about a year ago and forgot to write it down. I used my iCloud email which it *****n****[email protected] for many of my social media accounts. I have recently found out that if I want to reset my password for a social media account, that it will not go to my imessage. I have not yet set up *****n****[email protected] on the mail app, which is what I am assuming you have to have if you want social networks to email you on your mobile phone. I can not set up *****n****[email protected] on the mail app though, because I do not know the password. I also have a separate email for my AppleID account, and yes. I have reset the password for my applied account, to see if it would also reset my icloud email address password. Thank you, and I am sorry this was confusing.

    Applied.apple.com manage apple I'd. Input apple I'd. Send email authentication(and email should send to your rescue account) or authentication with security questions.... does not resolve your issue?

  • Email password rejection

    With extraordinary arrogance BT have closed a thread again before a problem has been solved. A considerable number of customers have been suffering for some years with perfectly valid passwords being rejected by BT Yahoo email servers. Some of us have been fobbed off with fatuous replies from all levels of support along the lines of -  it is your fault, your email client is at fault, you are accessing your mail through multiple devices and so on.
    The following thread (started July 2011)  has been closed by a "Moderator" and I quote from his post
    "Since this migration work was done we have completed extensive testing and no further issues with POP or IMAP have been found."
    http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/E-mail​-password-rejection/m-p/234061/highlight/true#M638​...
    Thread closed - problem solved. But it isnt, the same old thing is happening again this morning. BT is right and the customer is always wrong.

    I guess we just have to keep starting a new thread! I emailed the mods after yesterday's closure saying I am still having problems, this is the third time of emailing them, they did answer my first one asking for more info but nothing since then. The pop ups are dreadful and if I don't close outlook I have to keep watching the screen if I am typing as my typing ends up in the password box of the pop up!!! The main irritation is that it affects my smartphone so when I am out on the move I cannot keep up with emails as they don't come through, the irritating password incorrect message comes up!!!. When they do (after logging onto btyahoo) we get all of them again. No probs with iPad. I want to ring BT but seems everyone has tried this so many times without success. It's such a shame, I don't want to leave BT, I have been with them since I ever had the Internet but this does make you start looking at other companies.

  • Email password rejection trouble

    On behalf of my mother!
    Clients: iMail, iPhone iMail (set to Push)
    Protocol: IMAP
    At first it was just the desktop Mail which rejected the password, now however it is both. I have logged into the Yahoo mail web application, which works fine. I also changed the password, however neither client works.
    I am now aware that this used to be a fairly major problem (http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/E-mail-password-rejection/td-p/234061/page/68) but that thread was locked months ago and this is a recent problem.
    Suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

    Hi CraigS,
    I was surprised by your reply to BedeH as I have this afternoon been speaking to BT Yahoo tech support about the same or a similar problem who told me that rejecting passwords was still an open known fault that was being worked on.
    My problem is running outlook 2010 under Windows 7 with 3 Btinternet email accounts. About twice a day apparently randomly Outlook will pop up on just 1 of the 3 accounts  saying the server has rejected my password and to reenter it. No matter what I enter it will not accept it. The BT Help program will eventually tell me the password is incorrect and give up. The work around I have been using for over 6 months is simply to login to my web based BTinternet account and immediately Outlook starts working again simply by clicking the pop box to retry. This is a frustrating pain and hence my follow up call to the Help desk.
    I do have an iphone and an ipad both of which can access my mail but neither are set to "push".
    I would appreciate knowing whether you (BT?) recognise this as an open problem or whether I was just being fobbed off.
    Thanks John

  • How to change icloud email password on ipad7

    I have posted messages about the ongoing problems I had had with not being able to send or receive my icloud emails and BT Yahoo emails for the past 3 weeks.  I have tried many processes as suggested on the Apple Support Communities and BT forum without any success.  I have just noticed that when I check my icloud email account on my ipad, the password is shorter than my new one which I changed a few weeks ago.  However, when I go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>icloud account and then update my password and click on Done, the details are verified and all the ticks appear correctly but when I go back into my account, the password reverts to the previous one.  I then tried to delete my icloud account but the message "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in icloud will be deleted from this ipad".  As I am not sure whether this means they will never be retrieved or are always stored in icloud (I also backed up my ipad last week), then I have not deleted it.  Can anyone please advise on any of these points above as I am absolutely desparate having spent many, many hours trying to rectify my 'cannot get mail' issues!

    I'm sorry, but I know nothing about iCloud email. I stayed away from iCloud email and only use iCloud for limited purposes.
    But take a look at this discussion and read the response from randers4. He is one of the iCloud experts in the Apple Support Communities.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24358339#24358339
    If that doesn't help, you might be better off posting in here where there are other more knowledgable iCloud users.

  • ICloud email being rejected by recipient servers

    HELP!!!  I recently began using a new iCloud email address and have run across a problem when sending emails to some but not all recipients.  So far emails sent to a comcast and a craigslist address get bounced by the receiving server.  This problem is occuring on all three of my devices: macbook pro (Mavericks), iPhone (iOS7), iPad (iOS7) and when using the iCloud web site.
    The two errors I have received are:
    Recipient:  Comcast
    Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
    Recipient address: [email protected]
    Reason: Rejection greeting returned by server.
    Diagnostic code: smtp;554 imta04.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net comcast 17.164.101.34 Comcast requires that all mail servers must have a PTR record with a valid Reverse DNS entry. Currently your mail server does not fill that requirement. For more information, refer to: ht
    Remote system: dns;mx2.comcast.net (TCP|17.164.101.34|57346|76.96.40.147|25)
    Recipient:  Craigslist
    Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
    Recipient address: [email protected]
    Reason: Rejection greeting returned by server.
    Diagnostic code: smtp;554 [C35EA19C-1095-41EB-81E3-33FE9C16EEAE] Sorry we could not find address for 17.164.101.34. Please setup a reverse DNS record:http://www.craigslist.org/about/help/rdns_failure
    Remote system: dns;mxi3p.craigslist.org (TCP|17.164.101.34|57640|208.82.236.82|25)
    I have spent hours trying to solve this one and have come up empty.  There is one work around that only works on the macbook that involves using a different outgoing smtp server (I used gmail).  However this isn't an option on the iOS devices or on the web.
    Any help solving this one would be most appreciated.

    Try contacting iCloud support.  This sounds like a mail server configuration issue.
