My icloud Mail Account is not working anymore

In the preferences the Mail host is mail.example.com, but grey out, I can not edit it. Any guesses? The mail domain is me.com

I was afraid because the system asked me if I want to delete all contacts and so on on this device :-( But I did.
After I logged in again icloud was not able to create mail and notes. I added an account manualy in the mail , an wonder oh wonder , everything was back again :-) thank you

  • My iCloud mail account is not working.

    I checked the settings and confirmed the password.  Then I got a message that the Incoming Mail Server can't be blank.   However, it is greyed out and I can't change it.  Any ideas? 
    I read somewhere on the net that someone deleted their iCloud mail account and recreated it and that worked for them.  I can't delete mine though.

    Duh! Stupid me.  I tried my new Apple password and now its working.

  • ICloud mail account could not be enabled

    Since I have updated to Mavericks I have been having difficulty with "Mail".  I had 4 accounts; two of which were gmail accounts.
    After reading about the gmail issues, I was hoping that the recent "Mail Update for Mavericks" would solve my issue. Unfortuantely my issues remain.
    The problem first began with the program taking minutes (up to 10 min) to load; forcing me to force quit the program many times.
    I slowly deleted the various accounts from my icloud account. Interestingly in the System Preferences under "internet accounts" it would initially not display all of the accounts that I had listed in the mail program. It would also take 10 min to load the accounts into the Accounts Pane on the "internet Account" dialog.
    Even after deleting each of the accounts; including my icloud account and then only re-enabling my icloud account things didn't get better.
    Now "mail" doesn't load at all. And I can't enable "mail" in the Icloud system preferences.
    It times out after 3-5 minutes saying "Your iCloud mail account could not be enabled. Try enabling it again". Of course; trying again gets the same message.
    So I'm stuck not using "Mail" at all; and I don't know what the issue is.
    I've moved on to "AirMail" and it is working fine. But would like to use "Mail".
    Any one else getting this???

    I had this problem & found these instructions, it worked everything as it was before the upgrade now, except I've lost the old email accounts I deleted.
    The problem was caused by dodgy entries in the accounts.plist file in my User Library folder. It appears that either when I upgraded to Mavericks this file gained many thousands of duplicate entries, or maybe these entries were in there before but previously the OSX/Mail combination was more tolerant. When I removed these the problem with Mail disappeared. Here’s what I did….
    1> Make the user Library folder visible - in Mavericks this is a lot easier than Lion/Mountain Lion. Simply open up your user directory in Finder, select menu View>Show View Options, and select “Show Library Folder”
    2> Navigate through username>Library>Mail>V2>MailData and select the Accounts.plist file. If this file is multiple megabytes (mine was 40+mb) then this is likely the cause of your problem (once sorted mine ended up at 19k in size!)
    3> To be safe, make a copy of this file (I placed the copy on my desktop).
    4> Using your chosen text editor (I used Text Wrangler but I’m sure TextEdit would work just fine) open the Accounts.plist in the MailData folder (not your backup copy) and take a look. If it’s the same as me you will find hundreds and hundreds of entries for the same mailbox repeated in there. Mine was an old MSN mailbox that I never use any more (I’ve seen in other forums that other Hotmail type accounts also seem to be the culprits in this context). There will likely be two lots of repeated data, one in the XML “DeliveryAccounts” <array> section, and one lot in the “MailAccounts” <array> section.
    5> Delete (keeping in mind the need to select the XML sections correctly from <dict> to </dict> completely) all those extra entries that you found, keeping the mail accounts you do need, in the XML and save the file.
    6> Mail should open up nice and fast again and not eat your system
    7> If this did not work, and causes problems because of over eager deleting in <5> you can replace your broken Accounts.plist file with your backup and try again.

  • My Comcast Mail account is not working on all three devices

    Good Morning!
    Last night I plugged in my IPhone and IPad for charging and syncing. This morning my Comcast mail account is not working on my MAC, IPad and IPhone.
    I have deleted the acount on all three devices and set up a "new" account. Did not work. One message I receive is check the mail servicer. I have made sure the correct info is entered. My GMail and Mac email are working.
    Please help

    Problem with Comcast since last night. They say it won't be solved til after 8 tonight.
    Thank you

  • Push Mail on iPhone not working anymore

    Since I have switched from .me to iCloud push mail on my iPhone 4 has been not working anymore.
    I already tried to solve the issue by deleting an re-adding my icloud account, however the problem is still there.
    Also periodical check, in my case every 15 minutes, is not working. I always need to manually open mail and check if there are any new mails.
    Anybody knows how to solve this issue?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    For future reference, I removed my account (again), performed a "hard reset" (again), and configured the account (again). And now it works.
    So, if your mail fails on your mobile, remove the account, perform a hard reset, and configure the account again. If this did not help, repeat until it works again.
    What helped me was making screen captures of the account settings before removing the account.

  • Every time the anouncement of 10 year Thunderbird appears; when i read one mail: Thunderbird "does not work anymore"

    My thunderbirdbox contains 2 mailboxes; they appear together on the screen the same time.
    I have this "construction" for several years without problems.
    Now, with the 10year celebration of Tunderbird, when i open Thunderbird , every time there is the announcement + questioning if i can volunteer ( I whish I could....). The message covers a part of my second box....
    When i want to read one of my mails, thunderbird stocks and above in the screen the message appears Thunderbird does not work anymore. There is a menu what i want to do and i choose : close the program. Afterwards i open Thunderbird again and i can do everything i want to do.... Strange it not it?

    I've had the Mail app misbehave from time to time. Not so much lately though. But when Mail misbehaved I quit the mail app like I describe here. After that I reset my iPad. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. The reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot. Finally try the Mail app again.

  • Exchange mail account doesn't work anymore in MBP

    Hello everyone
    I am new to Apple products. I purchased my MBP 13" in Aug 2013. Since then I have been facing issues with Mail app in my MBP.
    I use Exchange account from my office (Exchange server 2003) and I got the settings from my administrator. I tried installing those settings in my Windows PC and Android Phone, and they all work with no problems. But, with the same settings, it never works in my MBP. Then he gave me IMAP settings for the same account. These do not work too. They worked once for a while (one month roughly) and then I received an OS X update 10.9.2 on 5th of March 2014 and then it stopped working in MBP again. I tried removing the account and added newly, but doesnt work. I tried changing the port numbers, SSL, so on but to no solution. I even contacted the online chat support and telephone support for hours but no one could fix it.
    When I go to my administrator, he says it works in all our computers, and its not functioning in your MBP, so he goes raging me to contact apple as he sees no issues from him side. I kindly request someone to help me solve this issue please.
    Regards
    Vinay

    I have the same problem. Thankfully one which was missing came back. I printed it out and made a PDF of it since it was an important one I'd been looking for.
    I have three icloud email accounts which folders for each one. Now they mostly come up in my inbox instead of the correct folder and they won't move to the correct one.
    Come on Apple, fix this.

  • HT4864 Icloud mail slow or not working

    Mail is terribly slow now.  Web page only partly works and often is come tell unresponsive.  Mail app on iPhone won't download many attachments and emails incoming and outgoing are extremely delayed.  Ironically, I have the most luck downloading attachments during the rare times when the web interface is working.
    It's happening with my wife's stuff too.  Anyone else having problems?

    I'm also experiencing the same issue.
    I've had to reset my password 3 times in the last 3 days.
    At first, I couldn't get my email. I sweated it out for 12 hours, reset my password and I was good to go again. 48 hours later, I ran into the same issue. Only problem is, not only do I get the 'Incorrect username or password' on my device, but my iCloud.com login no longer works. so now I can't read my messages on the web OR on my device/computer.
    I have went to appleid.apple.com and reset my password there: no luck.
    I have reset the settings on my device: no luck.
    I have Erase and Installed iOS 6.1.2: no luck.
    I have restored my device back to factory settings: no luck.
    I have performed a DFU restore: no luck.
    This is my main account for, well everything.

  • Since the update my imap mail account does not work

    Well, it still owrks on my imac but not on iphone or ipad.  Settings are exactly the same on all three.  I deleted the mail account on the ipad and ipone and re-set them up but still doesnt work.  All I get is the spinner and mail hangs forever eventually it says that the mail server is not responding and to verify that Ive entred the correct account info in the mail settings.  I have! Several times....
    Thank you in advance for any insight that is offered
    Cheryl

    You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

  • Mail Accounts syncing not working

    When I got my iPhone I originally setup access to one of my mail accounts directly on the device, so never came across this problem. When I recently set iTunes to "Sync selected Mail accounts" and added my other accounts, I came across some problems.
    First of all, I got the "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone… because an error occurred remapping record identifiers."
    I got around this by painstakingly adding only 1 account at a time, then syncing, then adding another account, then syncing, etc.
    I've kept "Sync selected Mail accounts" checked, but now every so often when I sync my iPhone (by docking it) I'll lose ALL my mail settings on the device. Of course, I don't usually find this out until I'm away from my computer and try to use Mail on the iPhone
    Has anyone else come across this problem (disappearing Mail settings?) or a fix?
    I've already tried restoring the iPhone, but this problem persists.
    For now, I am configuring Mail manually on the iPhone and leaving mail accounts syncing in iTunes off.

    Check Damon's response in this thread with instructions for resetting the sync history on your Mac.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1277299&tstart=0
    If this is successful, and the email account settings for selected email accounts are successfully transferred to your iPhone, you can deselect this option. The sync process for email account settings is in one direction only - from your computer to your iPhone. Unless a change is made to the settings for an account on your computer that you want reflected on your iPhone, there is no reason to continue to sync email account settings every time you sync.

  • Why does Mail in iOS5 not work anymore?

    Hi,
    retrieving mails is almost impossible on iOS5, with all accounts... not only the iCloud or MobileMe accounts
    Mail on the iPad (1) is no longer usable anymore for me. It starts, says "retrieving mails", but that doesn´t happen.
    Walking over to my iMac and getting mails shows 5 ore more messages. iPad=0
    anyone with the same problem?

    Kind of same problem here.  After ios 5 update on ipad 1, i cannot open the mail settings to make adjustments, it just closes.
    Also when trying to open mail it flashes the mail application but doesnt like the accounts I have in there.  They all worked before without issue.
