My iCloud Email stopped sending

About 2 weeks ago, my iCloud email stopped sending......
I use a PC and WWW.iCloud.Com.....   All my contacts are on the "cloud" not conneted to any other email account (AOL or GMAIL, etc).   Not connected to EXCHANGE or anything else, web ONLY........
The problem is on any computer including a MACBOOK at an Apple store, I can send mail without any problems from an I phone.   I've changed no settings at all.,
If I reply or create a message and hit SEND.... I get a box that pops up that says "Mail cannot be sent at this time"......
At the Apple Store one of the kids running around with an iPad (and enough TATS to be a full time biker) said without even thinkng "The servers go down, they are working on them now, they will be fixed shortly".   Enough knowledge of the company to make Mr. Jobs smile. Can't consider his answer seriously since he never looked or asked a question......
The Genious at the back of the store told me they only work on hardware and the web problems are beyond them....
I called Apple Support.... The first guy I talked to was pretty nice and really asked questions, etc. Couldn't solve it nor could he find a reference to the problem in the literature. He passed me off to his boss, another good one,   He did what he could and in the end he took a lot of info down to pass it onto the engineers who are supposed to get with me this week..... Tues Noon and still haven't heard from them........
So, do we have any suggestions? Someone else must have hadou this problem.   I'd trash the email account and start another but there are thousands of mails on it, its on my business cards, hooked up to everything on the web and it isn't that simple........
Thoughts? (Because you all may be next)

I have the same problem and it started about 2-3 weeks ago. I use a windows OS pc at work and it stopped working. I have a Windows OS laptop that I use at home. Both of these quit allowing me to send any type of new email or reply to any email sent to my me.com mail account. My iPhone still works great.....
Would Apple have made their iCloud proprietary to Mac OS systems?? Any help would be appreciated.

My icloud has stopped sending my imessages to my devices. how do i fix this?

hello everyone,
my iCloud has stopped sending my iMessages to my devices. How can I fix this?

I don't know how much help this will be, but this is Apple's troubleshooting FaceTime support website.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3367
The one thing in the article that you might want to check first is that the date and time are correct in Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On.
The next thing that I would try is, turn off FaceTime in the settings, reboot your iPad and then turn FaceTime on again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

IPhone email stopped sending *ANSWER*

Apparently if you put to much text in the saved signature area of the iPhone it causes the outgoing email to stop sending. I had added a "CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE" containing a few lines of text and lines.
Symptoms: The send progress bar locks in place and does not disapear untill you power down/up. Nothing shows in the sent folder the email does not send. A email may send but it only contains the subject, no content.
Removeing the excess text in the signature fixed the issue.

ICloud Email stopped working on my MacBook running 10.7.5

My computer has worked fine since installing 10.7.5 but suddenly iCloud mail has stopped. I can neither send or receive from my MacBook, but my iPad and iPhone both have working iCloud email. I didn't change anything on the computer, but I see that the iCloud Mail Server box has "greyed out. Any suggestions please?

Make sure Mail is selected in System Preferences > iCloud
According to the iCloud status page > Apple - Support - System Status
The mail server is working.
You can click Contact Suport at the bottom of that window.

Email stops sending?

Hello - First post
Every now and again my phone just stops sending email... All appears fine the only reason I realise it is happening is that I get no responses. I check my sent and those messages do not appear. I reboot the phone all works again.
Really driving me crazy because then of course I have no idea what message worked / didn't who's waiting on a response....
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks

You will probably be able to correct this by going to your web interface page for your ISP mail and delete the offending e-mail file from there. I've had this happen a couple of times. And doing this cleared it up. Gmail is a particularly egregious culprit with things like this. Once it gets stuck, you almost always have to go to the web interface to clear up the problem.
Good Luck.

Icloud email stopped working with outlook 2010 after icloud 3.0 update.,

Hi all,
hope some one can help me out here...
I have had my icloud email set up successfully on my PC (Outlook) for many months, until the icloud 3.0 was released now it doesn't work. I have tried all the usual suspects, I have even gone to the trouble of uninstalling both MS office & icloud control panel then reinstalling them but to no avail. I have tried to manually configure the account in outlook but all I get is an error message "The server responded: 530 5.7.0 No AUTH command has been given"
please HELP?
my config is:
User Info     e-mail: @icloud.com - I have also tried @me.com
Server Info     IMAP
                    imap.mail.me.com     port 993 SSL
                    smtp.mail.me.com - also tried p06-smtp.mail.me.com port 587 TLS & SSL
Logon Info     User name - my primary @me.com - & i have also tried [email protected]
                    followed by my usual password, which i have not changed recently.
as you can see I have tried most of the usual combinations of problems & what others are experiencing but i still can not get it to work.
any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Check the port and SSL settings as mentioned in the thread. A little tweaking should get you up and running.
I only changed the smtp settings... left the incoming server settings the same as they were.
outgoing server = p06-smtp.mail.me.com
outgoing port = 587
SSL = yes
outgoing mail requires authentication = yes

ICloud email stopped working with Outlook

Unable to receive iCloud email in Outlook - was working perfectly for ages and suddenly just quit.
When iCloud email is on, Outlook disconnects so Comcast mail won't even work either. I get a continual pop-up asking for the password for the iCloud email address, even though the password is remembered. If I remove the me.com address and have iCloud Control Panel setup email again, outgoing server works but incoming server does not.
Calendar, Notes, and Contacts are all still working with Outlook and iCloud. All old mail stored in iCloud/iPhone/iPad is unable to be seen on computer now. Very frustrating and annoying since all my old email is in iCloud.
All iCloud is working fine with iPhone, iPad, and iCloud online. Just cannot get mail into my computer where I want to read it as I work all day and want to have a copy stored.
Have searched for an answer and been unable to find this addressed.

When I loaded the security update my iCloud email stopped getting sent to Apple mail...only to iCloud on the web. What to do?

When I installed the security update my iMac sent all my iCloud emails to iCloud mail on the web and not to Apple Mail where my main email address is and where I like to work. What to do?

Quit Mail, the run Repair Disk Permissions at least 2x in Disk Utility. Restart the computer in Safe Mode. Then restart normally and test, if the problem persists please post back.

Email Stops Sending - Constant Spinning Black & White Wheel

I mistakenly attempted to send a large attachment (over 30mb) and since then (10 hours ago) my email account has the spinning black & white wheel spinning. I am able to receive emails, but not send.
When looking at the Activity Monitor, the Network traffic is high. When I force mail to quit, Network traffic trails off.
I've deleted the Outbox.mbox as an other post suggested, but this didn't solve the problem.
The email account causing the issue is a gmail one, setup with IMAP.
Have checked the Mail/Preferences/Outgoing Mail account, and all looks well.
Any suggestions?

Mavericks multiple iCloud emails stopped working

The iCloud settings for my Apple Mail iCloud accounts have changed, not with any interaction from me.
Now only one of the four iCloud accounts I have attached to my Mail client is working.   I've had these accounts since the .Mac "Family Account" days and they're all active.
Also, an aside... my Contacts list was getting slow, and it didn't take long to find over 17,000 NULL contact entries in my Contact. Did something strange happen to iCloud last week?

Actually I have 5 iCloud accounts for this one user account.   All are configured under Mail, and have been working for years (if not decades ).   Most are migrants that've been moved through the .mac/.me/.icloud transitions since setting them up over time since the 1990's. Most of the 5 use the p02-imap server for incoming mail. One is on p25-imap.
What's changing at the moment is the "outgoing server (SMTP)" is being set to None for all the accounts. I can change them all back but two of the SMTP servers are showing Offline.
After resetting to the proper SMTP server account (there must be five, one for each iCloud account as the authorizations are different), two of the 5 email accounts under Mail are showing Offline SMTP servers.
Another change is I can no longer see all five in the "Edit SMTP Server List" dialog.   Only iCloud SMTP server appears in the pick list -- that would be the one that's correct for each account. This is how I can reset the SMTP server alignment.
It was truly a pain to add the last iCloud account to Mail after the Mavericks upgrade, so it is obvious something changed in iCloud Account Management with Mavericks. There's no way to rename the account from the front end, and I've not bothered to dig into the internals.
Data point: The two offline accounts both work on my iOS devices
Data point: The two offline accounts both work with Thunderbird email (and in Outlook email in one case).
Data point: I do have over a dozen other non-iCloud accounts working under Mail, so the SMTP list is similarly large.
The problem is most definitely within the Mavericks Mail client.

Some email stopped sending

My BB was working fine, then last week this symptom developed: I can send email but not to any email address that is in my address book (Outlook 2003); I receive all email on my BB. If I delete someone from my address book, then my BB will send email to them. (I have a BB Curve 8310 with GPS using Desktop Manger 4.6) Very annoying. Help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

are those people in your addressbook people that are in the same company as you ?
can you try and create an, outlook contact with an external address ? Does the email reach them ?

Email stopped sending after iOS7

After installing iOS7 my email won't send. My email account is trying to send through an old SMTP server that is no longer listed and is not even the primary SMTP server.
The SMTP server is one I used to use a long time ago and was removed sometime ago. I changed ISP a year ago but still have my old email address as incoming and my new ISP as outgoing but the message I get says "Cannot send mail, the user name or password for "smtp .... " is incorrect....But it's not listed.
Have tried the following - settings reset, full reset and restore, deleting all mail accounts and re-adding, deleting all smtp servers (but not able to delete all of them for some reason). I fear I will have to set the thing up from scratch but still want access to my pictures and don't want to spend hours dowloading apps and putting in password again.
Any ideas welcome
Thank you in anticipation.

Hi monkey1a,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If email is not sending on your iPad after updating to iOS 7, see this article for steps that can help:
iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Cheers,
Jeremy
