My icloud email account doesn't send or receive mail.

Can anyone tell me why I can not send or receive my icloud email?

If you go to http://icloud.com and go to the Mail app there, can you receive and send mail? If so, then the setup on your device(s) isn't working. Go to Settings (or System Preferences as applicable)>iCloud and sign out, then sign back in again.

  • ICloud email account and Outlook 2010 - can receive but not send email

    I've set up Outlook 2010 with iCloud email account.  I receive email, but cannot send.  Get the message "You don't have permission..., right-click and make default..." Which I have done.  Still doesn't work.
    Can anyone help ?
    Thanks in advance.

    It is possible that your Internet service provider requires you to send on a certain port with a certain name.
    The outgoing server name should start with imap...
    If you have a service that requires you to send via a different server - then use that server to send, but log on to it with your usual name (for example you might send from an AT&T Yahoo! server on the ports they recommend if you have AT&T DSL and login with something like [email protected] for the outgoing server - but you can probably still set the From Address to [email protected]).  Actually I haven't needed to make this change for my iCloud account, but the change I did have to make was to change the outgoing server name from p08.imap... to imap... - the iCloud client software did not install the right incoming or outgoing mail server names.
    If that fails - set up a New Outlook.pst file - from the file menu.

  • I have an iPhone 5 and suddenly 1 of my Gmail accounts is not sending or receiving mail

    I'm getting an error msg for 1 of my gmail accts. "cannot get mail", "server imap.gmail.com"  not responding. I've deleted and reinstalled the accounts, triple checked all info in settings. All software is up to date.

    Morning tpj9393nSoCal,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iOS: Gmail account will not connect to Gmail server
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3058
    Resolution
    Check that your device is connected to the Internet by opening Safari and loading a webpage, such asgoogle.com. If you cannot connect to the Internet, try the steps in this article.
    If you have other email accounts on the device, check if those accounts can send and receive email.
    If the issue is isolated only to the affected Gmail account, visit this website: https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha.
    Complete the form to unlock the account.
    Once the account has been unlocked, check that the issue is resolved on the iPhone or iPod touch. If not, remove the affected Gmail account from the device and add it to the device again: Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > Add Account > Gmail.
    Hope this helps,
    Mario

  • I know this is going to sound stupid but I can't seem to set up my email as an iCloud email account. I want to eliminate my aol account and transfer everything to iCloud with an iCloud email. How do I do this.

    I know this is going to sound stupid but I can't seem to set up my email as an iCloud email account. I want to eliminate my aol account and transfer everything to iCloud with an iCloud email. How do I do this.

    If your Mac is running OS X 10.7.5 or higher, you first have to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, then check Mail.  This will automatically add an iCloud email account.
    To transfer your AOL mail, you need to drag and drop them into the same folder in the iCloud account.  If you have any folders in your AOL mail, you would need to create folders by the same name in the iCloud account, then open each folder, select all the mail in the folder and drag and drop them on the folder by the same name in your iCloud account.  (To create a folder in the iCloud account, click the "+" at the bottom of your folder list, choose Create Mailbox, choose iCloud as the location and give it a name.)

    My iCloud email account dropped out yesterday.  I can't send or receive emails - any ideas who to get it back?

    I am using imap on all my other devices.  I use a Google domain email address.  The only divice I have that will not sync is this older generation iTouch. The version without the camera. Model PB528LL.  I know my email address is correct and the password works everywhere else.

  • How do I open a Word Docx and edit it on my icloud email account?

    I emailed a document in Word doc. The person who emailed me back emailed an attachment in Word Docx format. However, I can't open it. I need to open it, edit it, and email it back to the sender. I couldn't open the document on my Ipad. But I thought I could open it in my icloud email account on a Mac Desktop. I still can not open the attachment. Please explain how I can open it. Thanks!

    If you do not have Microsoft Office, you could try this open source office suite. It doesn't claim to be able to translate all DOCX content, so glitches are possible. Note: it's a very large download.
    LibreOffice: http://www.libreoffice.org/discover/libreoffice/
    If it doesn't turn out well, or if this is sounding like a huge waste of time, ask your correspondent to re-save the file using the older DOC format. That format has been stable since 2003 so more programs are able to open DOC files than DOCX files.

  • HT4865 How can I have multiple icloud email accounts using the same rescue email account.

    I have several Iphones for my business for managers to use.
    I would like to set them up to send me the recovery emails but it seems only one icloud address can do that.
    Is it possible to have multiple icloud email accounts using the same - seperate recovery email address?

    Unfortunately, you cannot change your primary @me.com or @icloud.com email address, you could however create an alias or create a completely new account.

  • TS4002 How do I delete my iCloud email account?

    How do I delete my iCloud email account?  I do not want it.  Apple now is forcing its use where before it was using my Windows Mail.  for example, I have iCloud installed on my Windows 8 PC.  I am sharing Contacts with my iPads and iPhones.  I use to be able to to open Contacts on my PC and click on an email address and the Windows Live Mail program using my primary email account would open to compose and send a message to the Contact's address.  Now when I click on an email address iCloud Mail opens.  So, I want to delete the iCloud mail account since I will not be using it and hopefully Contacts will again default to my real mail.

    Finally, you have answered my question!
    I told you that you cannot delete an iCloud email account in my second reply, immediately after you clarified that you were referring to iCloud.com, not the Windows Live Mail application you actually mentioned in your first post. I also provided a link to instructions showing you how to restore the connection between Windows Contacts and Windows Live Mail.
    I cannot help but note that it is absolutely absurd to not allow the deletion of an email account in an ISP or Cloud environment.
    Tell Apple at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html then. Nobody here can do anything about that.
    You don't listen we'll, or read carefully for understanding before jumping to conclusions.
    You are unable to describe a problem accurately or coherently, or read and comprehend the simple answers you receive.
    I seriously wonder if you knew an iCloud email account could not be deleted.
    I seriously wonder if you can read - since I told you exactly that in my second reply.
    Rest assured that these exchanges will be brought to Apple Support management attention.
    This is a user-to-user support forum. You are not conversing with Apple Support staff here, so their management will not care. However, feel free to show them so they can see how quickly I answered your questions after you clarified exactly what you were asking.
    I wish I could offer you personal counseling in an effort to help you overcome these limitations that will likely stifle your career.

  • Can't open an iCloud email account

    I've had 2 email accounts for years. One as [email protected], the other as [email protected]
    Trying to add these accounts in Mail or ICLOUD system preferences I receive an error telling me at first
    to add @Icloud,com to the username, although both usernames came to be as @mac.com and @me.com respectively
    As I add @Icloud (as I have no choice) in the box, the system returns an error telling me the username is already taken and suggests a variety of others.
    How can this be?
    If I enter iCloud on Safari it returns all my data, but the mail button is not available
    I paid for these accounts and did everything Apple asked to do when they moved from mac.com to me.com and finally to .icloud.com
    The error doesn't make sense to me
    Could someone explain? I have important connections no longer able to reach me
    Thanks for any help

    my icloud email account for past 5 days keeps returning "sent emails" that i have NOT sent . I have over 2000. How do I stop this and fix this problem?

    There's pretty much nothing you can do. Someone is using your email address as their return address to send out spam. Of course, every time delivery fails, YOU get the failure notice instead of them...

  • Making changes to iCloud email account

    My iCloud email has a heritage MobileMe preference in place whereby another account (hotmail) receives a copy of the mail sent to iCloud email (via MobileMe).  How do I change the iCloud email account to delete this old preference?

    Here ya go:
    Rescue email address
    A rescue address helps secure your Apple ID account against unauthorized access by someone who gains control of your primary address. If you have a rescue address, it receives all security-related Apple ID email instead of your primary address, including the email needed to reset your password or security questions.
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
    Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
    Select “Password and Security” on the left side of the page. You may be asked to answer one or more security questions before continuing. Forgot the answers?
    If you see a list of three security questions, your account has the option to use a rescue address.
    Accounts that have fewer than three questions don't have and don't need a rescue address.
    Accounts that use two-step verification don't have and don't need a rescue address or security questions.
    Add a rescue address:
    Select Add Email Address, then enter your rescue address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
    Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address. If you don't verify the address, security-related email continues to go to your primary address.
    Edit a rescue address:
    Select Edit next to the address, then enter the new address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
    Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address. If you don't verify the address, security-related email continues to go to your primary address.
    Delete a rescue address: Select Delete next to the address.
    Cheers,
    GB

  • When I create an iCloud email account, does this change my header?

    When I create an iCloud email account, does this mean that my header changes everytime I send an e-mail? I have always used AOL and that is my normal email address but I've sent several emails to people who don't seem to be getting them(or, perhaps, their spam filters are putting them in the "junk box" and when they look for my aol header, they are'nt seeing it) I've been wondering if that could be my problem?

    If you are using iCloud email it would be sent from your @icloud.com (@mac.com or @me.com) email address, not your AOL address, and the headers would reflect this.  If you want to send from your AOL account you would need to select that as your default account in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Mail section).
