  • ICloud mail does not reconnect in Mail application on MacBook Pro after disconnecting and reconnecting iPhone or after sleep

    iCloud mail does not reconnect in Mail on my MacBook Pro after sleep or after disconnecting and reconnecting my iPhone. This only happens when I use my iPhone as a 3G-modem and not when I am on Wi-Fi. The only solution seems to be to quit the Mail-application and restart it again. Then Mail reconnects to iCloud.

    Hi horstp,
    Given your description of the issue (works on other Macs), it may be worth trying to set up that account by itself in a new test user on the iMac to see if it can be isolated to a user-specific file. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Why does my iCloud mail often fail to load?

    Lately, my iCloud mail often fails to load on my MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8 or on my MAC mini, same OS.  It loads OK first thing in the AM and works for maybe fifteen minutes then won't load mail messages.  Restarting computer and rebooting network does not cure the problem.  Other non-Apple applications, i.e. Google, etc. are working fine.
    Also, mail is ok on my iPhone.
    I'm on a local Airport (only me) and using Comcast cable.  Any ideas?

    load what? there is a world of difference between if it's playing a movie from your LAN networks shared itunes lib located on a harddisk close to you

  • How to receive emails on both, icloud mail and hotmail

    Hello
    I use my hotmail account as my Apple ID (since im not able to use my icloud account(@me), and to only have 1 account for everything on Apple),
    and i use my icloud account (@me) for Mail.
    When i receive mails from especially Apple (for example, some one comments on this question) then i only receive a mail on my hotmail account,
    which is bad because i dont check it often, since ive almost totally moved to icloud.
    My question is: What do i do, to (also) receive these kind of mails on my icloud(Mail) ?
    Sincerely

    Do you have any idea of how i do that?
    I've been looking around Hotmail.com(which is now Outlook.com) but havent found it.
    I would appreciate if you could give me some clues..

  • Now with iCloud mail, do I delete my Mac and Me Mail accounts on my devices?

    My computer and Iphone had email accounts for Mac mail and Mobileme (I think they are duplicates when mac changed to me and I just left them).
    Now with Icloud uploaded and configured for all my devices, it appears that both accounts are there but one appears never to be connected and they both quite often ask for my password in that pop up window. So my questions are.
    1. Can I eliminate (delete) one from my Mac Laptops? Which one if the answer is yes.
    2. On my Iphone: there is only an Icloud and Mac mail accounts (mobileme never came over). Should I keep both?
    Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated as its a bit confusing as to how it all ties together.

    iCloud uses your mac mail account.  If you haven't already done so, here is the sequence to follow:
    1. If you have a Mac, upgrade it to 10.7.2.
    2. Upgrade any iDevices to 10.5
    3. Go to iCloud.com and follow the process to transfer your mail account to iCloud.
    It sounds like you've done most of that.  The rejected password issue is due to the fact that iCloud is experiencing some intermittant growing pains problems.  It kind of comes and goes.  If you've managed to connect once, your solid.  Just be a little patient as the iCloud mail service usually comes back fairly quickly.

  • Mails forwarded from yahoo account automatically deleted by icloud mail.

    Recently I have completely switched over to iCloud mail for sending and receiving all mails. There were two problems that I found. These are as follows:
    1. I am forwarding all the mails from my gmail, ymail and outlook.com account to iCloud.com account. But some of the messages don't reach (or probably are automatically deleted from) my iCloud mailbox. I have checked the junk email folder also. They are not there. Some of these emails like the promotional mails I have subscribed to and my Internet bill are not really spam. Still somehow they don't get into my iCloud mailbox despite my yahoo account forwarding them. Proof that the yahoo account is forwarding them is that all those emails were deleted from my yahoo account automatically after being forwarded.
    Is there a way to correct this unwanted behavior of iCloud mail. I want all the mails to appear and then I'll decide what is junk and what should be deleted.
    2. The second problem is that if I disconnect my iPad from the wifi and then connect it again after some time, then the mails that I received in the mean time are not automatically pushed to my iPad from the server as soon as I connect my iPad to a wifi network. This didn't happen when I was using outlook.com account. I have to manually refresh the inbox now or wait for some new mail to arrive which will flush all the waiting mails in one go.
    Please help me. The first problem particularly is very annoying, please help.

    IMAP mail accounts have a remote view of the emails on the server.
    You 'subscribe' to see the contents of server folders.
    Only the headers are downloaded and when you select an email the folder is copied to a temp cache to facilitate quicker access to that folder.
    These emails are not stored on your computer.
    If you choose to 'synchronize' folders, then a copy of the folder is downloaded to your thunderbird Profile folder.
    This means you can view those emails when in offline mode. These emails are on your computer, BUT as these folders are set to synchronize, it means that folder can get updated by the server, if emails are removed off the server and you synch, you will see all of those emails disappear from Thunderbird to synch and match the server.
    So the best method is to synchronize the folder to get emails onto your computer, then go into 'offline' mode so that Thunderbird cannot connect with server.
    Then move those emails into suitable folders in Local Folders.
    The 'Local Folder' folders will be stored on your computer and will not be efected by the IMAP mail account even when you later select to remove it.
    You can use this addon to create a backup of Local Folder folders and emails and also synchronised folders in offline mode.
    * https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html
    Right click on folder in Local Folders (or a synchronized folder in offline mode)
    select 'Importexporttool'
    then you have a selection of methods available.

  • Can I turn off Icloud mail on my ipod, computers, etc.?

    Before I ever signed up for an Icloud account, when I went into my Ipod 4.1 Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendar and AOL was my Primary Server.  Now that I have an Icloud e-mail account when I go to Mail, Contacts & Calendar it shows  iCloud Mail as my Primary Server.  However I put it back to  AOL Mail.  Also I disconnected my Contacts from iCloud.     I just want to make sure this is all alright to do. 

    Thank you for your prompt answer.  One more quick question, does ICloud have anything to do with IMAC’s mail?  Are they joined in any way.   My iCloud contacts are the same as my Address Book.  

  • No functions on icloud mail

    Only the header that show mailbox or edit appears on all pages of icloud mail on my iPhone 4S
    No way to send or manage incoming mail, Help how can I restore or do I need to delete Nd re install?
    Thanks ,

    I have found a work around, but it doesn't always work.
    My processes thus far: I opened up Mail on a Snow Leopard and IMAP'd into the same mail account and the badge was located on the inbox. Sure enough, it sounds everytime new mail is received.
    The ONLY way I can get the badge to appear on the main inbox, is to have mail monitor SEVERAL mail accounts. When I added a second IMAP account, the inbox suddenly had an unread count badge. Thinking my problem was solved, I deleted the second account and along with it, the badge also disappeared. I re-entered the account and it's back.
    As I said, it still doesn't always sound for new mail, but it does sound MORE often. I'm not going to mark this as resolved, since I feel this is still a problem

  • ICloud Mail is slow and unresponsive

    For the past week iCloud mail has been very slow and unresponsive. I've checked the iCloud mail server status and everything is okay according to Apple. If I use mail in iCloud in my browser, it is often very slow and sometimes unresponsive in the middle of my typing. I have to wait 20-30 seconds for it to respond so I can continue typing.
    When using iCloud mail on my iPhone, it is very slow. Sometimes it does not load images in email or takes a very long time to do so. Other times it just doesn't update after I read my emails. I can pull down the list to refresh but it doesn't update and says I still have unread messages when I don't. A couple of minutes later it will refresh the unread number.
    This has all just started happening for me in the last week. How can I report this to apple? It seems as all I can do is go through support and call them or have them call me. I don't have the time to do this when all I want to do is report that something is down or not working properly so they can look into it.

    Hello Scott,
    as Apple states on the Apple System Status site (http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/): "If you are experiencing an issue not listed here, contact support."
    This is the only way I could think of to report an issue.

  • Can't send iCloud mail from Outlook 2011

    I have recently installed Office 2011 for Mac on my Macbook Pro and I want to set up my iCloud mail on it.  I can receive mail just fine but I can't send mail at all.  I keep getting error code 17092 saying that the SMTP server doesn't recognize any of the authentication methods supported by Outlook.  How can I fix this problem or do I have to just use the native Mail app?  Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    I was having the same issue. I was able to fix by login into appleid.apple.com and setting my @me as the primary email adress.( Make sure you verify it) The deleted your i cloud account on you Iphone, Ipad or Touch then added it again. You should be able to send email using icloud

  • How can I update my Mail program in 10.6.8 to iCloud Mail?

    I am running 10.6.8 on my iMac, which is my work "workhorse." I can't update it to Lion because I can't afford to update Quark/Photoshop et al that I'd need. And it works fine.
    I also have a Macbook Air running the latest Lion, as well as an iPod 5 running IOS7. Both access my iCloud mail address and folders/filtering set up on iCloud.
    However, the Mail program on my iMac is still showing my MobileMe mailbox (and MobileMe is in my system preferences). I had an elaborate filtering-to-folders set up in Mail for my MobileMe account (not in the online MobileMe). I've disabled all the filtering in my Mail program, but iCloud still sends some mail to the older folders I had set up in the program, overriding the new folder-filtering I have set up on iCloud.
    So, sometimes I'll get an email sent to my .me email address from a client which I cannot see on my Macbook Air (or iPod) because it's sent to a folder on my iMac. I'm semi-retired so don't do much work anymore so I'd rather not "fire up" the iMac unless I've work to do. But as it is with the Mail situation, I have to leave it on all the time or I can miss client email.
    My question is, can I get delete my "mobileme" account in my iMac Mail program and then add my iCloud account to it? I assume the MobileMe in the iMac's system preferences is there for good, because I can't update to Lion. Will that fix my problem, or is that even do-able?
    I'm not sure I've stated this clearly. I'm trying to get total coordination between my iMac, MB Air, and iPod mail accounts in the Mail programs of each device without having to resort to using iCloud mail online on my iMac. Perhaps that's unavoidable?
    Any help appreciated. If clarification needed, I'll try to explain this better... Thanks all!

    You can perfectly well access email in 10.6.8 - I'm doing it myself - and if you are receiving @me.com mail you are already doing so. the @icloud.com version of the address is exactly the same thing, and messages to it will arrive in the inbox alongside those to @me.com.
    However if you have set up Rules to act on incoming @me.com mail it obviously won't act on @icloud.com messages, so you will have to duplicate the Rules if you want to keep them.
    If you want to try starting over you can delete the account and set it up again, using the method described here:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    You can't access other iCloud facilities in Snow Leopard but if all you are interested in is the email you have no need to upgrade to Mountain Lion.

  • IOS 8.1 Does Not Download All iCloud Mail/ Keeps Cache?

    Hello,
    I have setup and enabled an iCloud e-mail account on all of my devices and was successfully able to use the Mail app in Mac OS X Yosemite to copy mail from my Yahoo! inbox to my iCloud inbox.  All e-mail copied from Yahoo! Mail appears in the OS X Yosemite Mail app as well as in the iCloud.com site, however, my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 5 both running iOS 8.1 does not download all of the mail from iCloud.  I have tried the following on both iOS 8.1 devices with no success.
    - Disable iCloud mail and re-enable
    - Sign completely out of iCloud and sign in again, then reconfigure all iCloud services including mail
    The result of both steps is that the incomplete list of e-mail in the iCloud inbox just reappears in the Mail app instead of downloading from iCloud again.  It looks like the incomplete list of e-mail is stored on the iOS device and signing out of or disabling iCloud mail just hides it; re-enabling or signing in merely shows it again.  This appears to work differently than my Yahoo! Mail configuration where if I sign out of or delete the Yahoo! account and reconfigure, iOS downloads a fresh copy of all e-mail in the inbox and all other folders.  Here are my two questions:
    - How do I get my iPhone and iPad Air 2 to download ALL e-mail from my iCloud mail account?
    - Are my suspicions true? Does iOS actually store a cached copy of iCloud mail on the device when the service is disabled and just "redisplays" it when re-enabled?
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem. My iCloud it's a mess since the iOS 8.1 update.
    Probably your iCloud isn't working too.

  • Problems with icloud mail constantly auto-saving

  • Can not view my icloud mail messages on my phone

    I am not able to look at my mail within the icloud mail.  Any suggestions

    Not sure what you mean by "within iCloud mail" but if you can't view your iCloud mail inside the Mail app on your phone, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Mail off, then after a few seconds turn Mail back on again.

  • Surface Pro 2 iCloud Mail won't scroll

    I have tried to set up my iCloud mail in Windows 8 Mail application without proper success (for example, I can't see any sent items, but there are other glitches too) so I decided to use web browser access. However, whether in Chrome or IE or Firefox, when I log in to mail I can see the first few messages in any mailbox but I can't scroll down to see older ones: there is no scroll bar and no scrollability so I am limited to seeing just a few messages in each box unless I reverse display order, in which case I can see the last few.
    THis is a 'biggie' for me: I have purchased the Surface Pro in order to have a travel machine with good photoshop and Lightroom ablities but also a tablet like form factor. I also like teh stylus for use in image editing. But I really do neeed reliable email while travelling and I am not going to stump up for an Office subscription for full mail facilities on a machine I will use for maybe four weeks a year.
    Does anyone have any clues?
    Thanks in advance!

    I don't know if this behavior has changed recently , but to scroll down, you have to be able to drag to below the bottom of the window. If you, and the other users of the machine, are the types who like to keep the main Mail window open to maximum height (as the maximize button on Mail's title bar will do), and you're viewing messages in that window, then you will not be able to scroll while dragging down. Try resizing the window and leaving a small space below the window.
