My icloud email will not load

Hi!
My icloud email will not load.
     On any computer, Mac or PC at the icloud.com it will not load and sends an error message to apple.
     On my Mac it states that my password or email address is incorrect. This is not true as I have changed it and all other apple accounts work.
     On my iPhone it states my password is incorrect--it is not, again I have checked and re-entered it numerous times.
I have checked and done all the troubleshooting I can find.
I have checked all the communities and it seems some others are experiencing this same problem.
I have called apple support and (of course) they want me to pay for someone to help me--which I would do if this was an issue with my hardware or software.
I have an appointment today with the genius bar at my local store.
I believe this is an apple icloud server issue.
I would not be posting if this had not been happening since Christmas day. It has been over a week since I have been able to retrieve my email.
If anyone can help that would be wonderful, but please do not refer me to the troubleshooting pages as I have researched them extensively.
Thank you!

This same thing started for me today as well: None of my devices (iMac, MacBook 2 iPhones, iPad, 2 Apple TV's) which require Apple ID to work for mail, etc., would work this morning. I kept getting a message that my password or email address was incorrect. I was also notified my Apple ID password had "a security problem" and needed to be changed.
I was reluctant to change the password with my Apple ID, since I have been using it for nearly ten years, and will clearly never forget it. However, this old password only has six characters, all lower case. Apple now seems to want a password with at least eight characters, one of which is capitalized, etc. I went ahead and changed to a new 2012-model password, following Apple's guidelines, and voila, once I changed to that password on all of my devices they all work as they should!
What the heck? I guess I didn't have anything better to do between 10:00 and 11:00 am today anyway. While this seems like the right fix, I would have preferred it if Apple had sent out an advance notification that they are requiring more rigorous passwords, rather than just rejecting our old ones as a New Year's present. It would have saved some head scratching.

Suddenly my .mac/.me email will not load on my macbook

suddenly my .mac/.me email will not load on my macbook. got err messages requesting my pasword and added password and nothing has loaded.

Your signature says you are using 10.5.6 - is this correct. Leopard is not compliant with iCloud's requirements.
You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
You may also need to change your pasasword if it's not compliant with Apple's requirements - at least 8 characters, of which at least one must be a numeeral and one a capital letter.

Reply Emails will not load

The following problem has appeared on my system in the last few days.
Symptoms:
I receive an email that has been sent to a group of people, all on the main recipients list as opposed to cc's or bcc's. This first email behaves perfectly.
Then one of the addressees replies to the same group. My copy of the reply email will not load in mail.app. Instead I get a spinning gear wheel (with a "loading..." message) that changes to a spinning beach ball and "mail" just hangs - requiring a forced quit to get the application working again.
At first I thought that the response email must have contained something that was contaminating the process but I've had the symtoms repeated for several emails that were distributed to different groups. Its always the same, the first email behaves as expected but the responses will not load.
These emails sent within groups have always behaved perfectly in the past so the suspicion is that there is something amiss in my system.
The first culprit email came from my website. I looked at the guilty email on the server and it looked normal.
To test the path I forwarded one of the emails that was causing a problem to my isp email(comcast) and tried to download it. I got the same problem, it will not load when it gets on my system.
What I've Tried to Resolve it:
I searched the discussions and found a suggestion to rebuild permissions and the trash the mail cache in the library. I followed the instructions but it had no effect.
One Additional Note:
I upgraded to 10.5.6 and I know that this problem was not present before the upgrade.
Any suggestions as to the cause of the problem and rectifications would be much appreciated.
Thanks

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Content of old emails will not load after Yosemite upgrade

I recently installed Yosemite. All my old emails are still there, listed under the 'Sort by date' column, with sender, subject and the first few words showing. but the content will not load. New emails are downloading and content showing fine. I have played around with all the settings in Mail Preferences Viewing — download remote content etc — but nothing seems to work. I have also run "Verify Permissions", with no luck. If I search for something through the Finder, and what I am searching for appears in an email, I can pull up the email that way and all the content loads fine. So the content is all there. It is just not showing up through Apple Mail. Any ideas?

Check the Ask before closing setting in the Terminal preferences dialog.

Forgot password icloud email will not accept my date of birth to recover same

I have forgotten my password for my icloud email.
Tried recovery - an email has been sent - but where?
Tried answering questions - will not accept my date of birth as being correct.
Would appreciate help.

I had this issue too yesterday. Both my account and my wifes account disappeared and you could not log into them, or reset them as the Date of Birth was not recognized. I am talking with Apple iTunes support.. They are getting quite a few calls like this, sounds like an change has gone wrong, maybe in conjunction with the roll out of 2 step verification. Painful waste of time on a Saturday to resolve this. Interestingly if you have an icloud account linked to your Apple ID and log into that and check your account info, you will see your actual email address as a weird prefix with the word 'disputed'.. A system issues for sure.

ICloud email will not update apple id

I have recently changed the email element of my Apple ID. Since then I keep on receiving messages on iMac, iPad and iPhone asking for my iCloud email password for the former Apple ID. I cannot change this on any of the above devices.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your devices, even though they prompt you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

HT202304 iCloud email will not work with 3rd part email client

Can anyone help me configure iCloud with thunderbird, or outlook , or airmail, etc?
I am unable to set up any 3rd Party email client with iCloud email. I have looked at the instructions at Apple with no success. I just spent an hour on the phone with support and they tell me this in not their problem. Yet Outlook, thunderbird all say it is their problem so flustering.

These are the settings. Note particularly the requirement for SSL.
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 or STARTTLS instead.
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
Password: Your iCloud password

My excite email will not load with last upgrades of firefox & microsoft

the feald that said my kaspersky fire wall was incompatable with new curant version of firefox was pushed by accedent now email only loads to 67 % then locks up [email protected] is my email page ido not how to do thease type of things

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server. Any difference? If not...
2. Clear Firefox's Cache Completely
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
3. If needed, remove your live.com cookies in this dialog (save any work-in-progress first)
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Anyone know why Yahoo emails will not load? Emails, including those I could previously access are blank. No problem with seeing them when using another browser

Yahoo mail--can access inbox but cannot access individual emails. Have tried disabling all add-ons, but there is no difference. Emails are visible using another browser.

I am modifying the correct httpd.conf file on the server, it just doesn't seem to work. - If I put the rewrite rules in the <Directory /> the rewrite works but it adds /Library/WebServer/Documents to the URL.
I also tried putting the rewrite rules in <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> but that did not work either.
mod_rewrite is enabled and running on the server.
I will post the rewrite rules again in the code brackets. Sorry for the long post. - If some one can try them out on their Leopard Server to see if they can get them to work, it would be much appreciated. Again, these work on my Leopard Client but I can't get them to work on Server.
-- The httpd.conf file posted above is just the default conf file found in /private/etc/apache2/

Just got a new iphone last night but my comcast email will not load.

I spoke with verizon, comcast, apple, comcast again. No one seems to be able to fix the problem. It's not the phone, apple says it's the comcast setup, but comcast says the setup is correct.....help! Anyone experience this problem that could help me???
Thank you!

To be clearer, i just got a new phone and have reset my iCloud password three times on my PC but it is not taking on my phone.

Pre will not load emails (IMAP) unless I restart the phone..everyday!

When I bought the phone back in June, I set up my personal email as IMAP...it worked fine for months. Within the last two months or so my emails will not load all the time, now I am at a point of restarting everyday to get my emails synced. And maybe it will sync twice a day regardless of how many times I check for them.
Gmail account seems to work fine so I know it is a setting in IMAP that I need to change, but why now? Don't understand!

Have you tried removing that IMAP account and adding back. This clears many issues up.
