My mac email will not receive messages due to icloud

I have a Mac OS X verison 10.5.8.  Weeks ago I thought I had moved from mobileme to icloud. This morning my apple email stopped receiving but it could send out messages.  I called Apple and was told that I have to upgrade to  Snow Leopard and then to Lion so because my current version is not compatible with Icloud.  Until the upgrades are done, I can only check my incoming emails on the iCloud website.  Something doesn't seem right here.

Yes you will be unable to use your email address after June 30, 2012, if you do not update your MobileMe account to an iCloud account.
You can upgrade your account and continue to use the email address in your mail application by entering the details manually. You will not however be able to use any other features of iCloud.

  • One account in .Mac mail will not receive mail?

    I've tried sending to my other .Mac accounts and this is normal. My primary .Mac mail account will not receive mail. My E-Bay mail and other mail is not reaching this one primary account. Any suggestions?
    867 Dual   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   My primary account is storing 1412 mail messages

    The .Mac servers for your area may be having problems this morning.
    I'm using Mail 2.0.5 but checking the .mac server
    directly takes mail out of the loop.
    Not true. For a .Mac type account, it will mark a message as read only in the Mail.app when the mailbox is synchronized with the server after messages are checked and read at the server using webmail access and if changed to a POP type account in Mail, any message that is available at the server will be downloaded by the Mail.app even after messages are read using webmail access.
    Is mail storage calculated separately?
    It is now. You can adjust - lower or raise the amount of server storage space alloted for the account.

  • Mail will not receive messages

    Shortly after installing Security Update 2011-005, Mail stopped receiving messages on all three of my accounts (two Gmail IMAP accounts and one Microsoft Exchange 2007 account).
    Mail will seemingly download the messages and show progress in the lower left display panel as usual, but even though it appears as though the messages were successfully downloaded they never appear in my inbox.
    I've checked all the account settings, but nothing seems to be wrong..
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Naomi

    I would recommend removing all three account, although you could probably do it one account at time, and then adding them back.  Since the messages for all three account reside on the server, nothing will be lost.  With the setting to Keep copies for Offline viewing, it will take a good bit of time for all messages to again download to the computer, so I would change to not keep copies for Offline viewing -- you can always change that later.
    The problem may simply be with indexing the mailboxes to display these messages, and this will correct that, if so.

  • My icloud, my mac emails will not send emails

    i am un able to send emails from my iphone using Icloud, Mac or Me emails accounts. i can recieve but will not send . it shows in my sent box the emails is delivered but it never does. i have deleated and reinstalled the emails account many times but no luck ....

    How are you installing iCloud mail.
    A more general approach to remedying such problems would be to turn off Mail in System Preferences/Settings > iCloud, checking the account has been removed from Mail (and deleting it if it hasn't), restarting and then enabling iCloud Mail again from System Preferences/Settings > iCloud. This will ensure the correct settings are used.

  • HT4864 My iCloud account will not receive messages from Craigslist

    My me.com account doesn't seem to be getting craigslist emails.

    AND IT NEVER WILL if craigslist is requiring an email verification click through for your post to be activated.  Right now your ONLY option will be to switch your craigslist reply email account to a NON apple email address.  Apple appears to be blocking the sender email address craigslist is using when the "Ad Post email confirmations" are sent.  Other types of responses from CL appear to be unaffected.
    I doubt that apple will respond to this situation, they are the WORST at even acknowledging a problem exists, let alone changing what they do to accomodate the reality their customers live with.  I don't think ANYONE at apple is the least bit concerned about what their customers are experiencing while they are using apple products.   ALL that matters is the people that design the stuff think it's neat.  The way they made it is the RIGHT way and everyone else is WRONG.

  • My .mac email account stopped receiving messages about 4 hours ago; I can send successfully.  Is Apple having a "mail" problem, or do you have suggestions for me.  I have checked the setup and have also deleted and re-added the account.  Thank you

    Not working on Mac Air (Mountain Lion), iPad 3 (iOS6) or iPhone 4S(iOS6); was working until 4 hours ago.

    Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

  • TS3899 I am receiving emails but my phone will not send messages.  It says my password is incorrect but it doesn't allow me to enter it.  Any ideas?

    My phone will receive emails but it will not send messages.  It says my password is incorrect but doesn't allow me an opportunity to enter it again.  Any thoughts?

    Under settings>mail, contacts and calendars if you click on the account... then the account name again on the next page.... then click outgoing mail server... then click under the words primary server... here is where you can enter your password... it's most likely missing or incorrect.
    good luck

  • 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.

  • After accepting the carrier update yesterday my iPhone 5s will not receive emails via my work Exchange system.

    After accepting the carrier update yesterday my iPhone 5s will not receive emails via my work Exchange system.  I can send emails, but can not receive.  I deleted my account and added it back with the directed provided by our Corporate IT, but I still can't receive emails.  I've hard booted and soft booted my phone several times to no avail.  What else can I do to help remedy this situation?

    I don't have any other email accounts on my phone and I don't get any type of error message.  It just says "Checking for Mail" and I receive nothing, so I know that it is accessing my work email system.  I haven't made any changes to my account.  I only accepted the message to update my carrier system.....I do have an appointment with the local Verizon store to see if they can help.
    Just FYI, my Exchange email account still works on my iPad, so I'm pretty sure the settings are correct.

  • Mail will not send messages. Help please: it receives OK but parks my outbound stuff in either Drafts or Outbox

    Mail will not send messages. Help please: it receives OK but parks my outbound stuff in either Drafts or Outbox

    Thanks for your answer. Apprciate it very much. Just prior to receiving your email, I got back online. However, as I had tried what you suggested (and a lot more as I am 'reasonably' competent), and had been so doing since yesterday afternoon, I do believe that what you suggested was correct - that it was my third rate ISP that was at fault.
    Nevertheless, many thanks once again.

  • Iphone will not receive emails

    I recently changed my password on both my yahoo account and itunes account.  i have an ipad and an iphone.   My ipad is receiving emails under my old password, and my iphone will not receive emails under the new or old password.  when I try to enter password for email under setting on iphone, it gives me the message that the yahoo server is unavailable.  again, my ipad has no problems receiving emails nor does my wife on her iphone. 

    I don't have any other email accounts on my phone and I don't get any type of error message.  It just says "Checking for Mail" and I receive nothing, so I know that it is accessing my work email system.  I haven't made any changes to my account.  I only accepted the message to update my carrier system.....I do have an appointment with the local Verizon store to see if they can help.

  • Mac Mail POP Account Not Receiving Messages

    Using Mac Mail, I am suddenly not receiving messages in a POP account. The gmail account I use is working normally. Under connection doctor both accounts are green. Help, please?

    Same problem here since upgrading to Mail 7.1 (1827). All the settings are seemingly correct. The emails are marked as 'Read' on the server but are not downloaded.
    The emails are also deleted a week later as set in preferences.
    Thinking the emails may have gone elsewhere I used Spotlight to look for them. No success there.
    Real puzzle and yet another glitch on the latest Apple Mail.
    Come on Apple, get your act together.
