No e-mail via mail on my Mac, access on iCloud possible

I just moved to iCloud. I can access my e-mails on iCloud.com with my usual apple-id and password. I am using Apple mail with IMAP as told by Apple (see below) on my Mac and I am not able to get my e-mails downloaded to mail. Response is always password not recognized. Thanks for your help
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)

  • Can't send e-mails via Mail with a Gmail e-mail address using Sky internet

    Can anyone help? My brother has an iBook G4 Mac OS X 4.1 and is trying to send e-mails via Mail with a Googlemail e-mail account. He is using Sky for his broadband. I assume it has something to do with his outgoing smtp e-mail Preferences in Mail, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. He can receive e-mails OK, its just that when he tries to send he gets the 'server can't send error'. Any ideas?

    Here's my gMail IMAP SMTP settings...
    smtp.gmail.com
    Port 25
    Authentication: Password
    SSL
    Sky may require another port to pass through...
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

    Hi, fungo47.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can reset your Apple ID/iCloud password via the steps in the first article below.  If you do not have access to the email account or are not receiving the password reset link, see the second article.

  • Can't send mail via mail

    Greetings O Wise Ones,
    The smtp setting are correct. I can receive mail. The mail app was working fine one minute and the next I couldn't send mail. Tried a new smtp and it didn't work either, Created a new login user and new mail. The smtp work with the new user but not with the old one. Any ideas that don't delete the com.apple.mail.plist? If that's the only way. How do I save my mail boxes?

    This is happening to my wife's Leopard 10.5.8 upgraded machine right now.
    We've been using Apple Mail for years and it works, but suddenly stopped working
    and refuses to send mail via any SMTP server at all. It just spins forever and eventually
    complains it can't.
    The account is configured to send via comcast (smtp.comcast.net), DSL (smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com), and gmail, as choices. Two of them require authentication, Comcast doesn't require authentication, only that the e-mail be sent via the Comcast cable router, which it is.
    I've tried removing the SMTP accounts and carefully re-adding, removing the Gmail IMAP mail account itself in Apple Mail and re-adding, and even moving aside the /Users/<user/Library/Mail folder so it can be re-added. I've even used the sqlite3 index vacuum command.
    On my own Mac Pro, 10.5.8, I'm able to send e-mail, but on the notebook mail is wedged up for good and it seems to be associated with the upgrade. I am now re-installing 10.5.8 from the 'combined' download, and I'll see if it fixes it. What a hassle.

  • Cannot access iCloud mail via Mail.app

    Starting this afternoon, I have not been able to access my iCloud mail via the Mail.app program on my iMac. I am, however, able to access my iCloud mail via my iPod touch. Is anyone having a similar problem?

    I'm trying to fix this on my husband's Windows 7 machine. Same problem. Rotating gear, page never loads. Would appreciate guidance.
    Thanks!

  • Cannot receive mail via Mail

    Sorry if this has already been covered but I could not find this specific issue after a search.
    Three days ago, I was no longer able to receive mail through one of my Cox addresses. When Mail checks the server, it recognizes that there are messages, but will not retrieve them. My other Cox addresses work fine. I have no problem sending. Nothing showed up through Connection Doctor. I even trashed the account in Preferences, quit, rebooted, repaired permissions and recreated the account but still no luck.
    Even stranger is that everything is working properly on my iBook. No problems getting mail through that or through the Cox WebMail option. This all started suddenly and I am not aware of any changes that were made to any settings.
    Is there another preference file that I need to dispose of before it will work again? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If using SSL on this Cox account, deselect that, quit Mail, relaunch Mail and test. Later you may be able to again select to use SSL, but there have been numerous reports of sudden issues with Cox and SSL.

  • I can't send mail via Mail

    After working perfectly for the last year, as of monday of last week everytime I try to send mail from the Mail program on my Mac
    I get the following message:
    The sender address ------.com was rejected by the server
    If I go to my internet service providers web site and use their Web Mail
    it works perfectly.
    any suggestions?

    BarbCasey, Welcome to the discussion area!
    It sounds like your account in Mail is misconfigured.
    That error is telling you that you are trying to send using an email address not recognized by the sending mail server.
    For example, you would get this error if your sending email address is [email protected] and you try to send using smtp.mac.com. The smtp.mac.com server will only allow you to send using @mac.com addresses.
    Simarily, you would get this error if your sending email address is [email protected] and you are trying to send using smtp.verizon.net. The smtp.verizon.net server will only allow you to send using @verizon.net addresses.

  • Since 10.5 I can no longer script the sender if sending a mail via Mail

    I would use the following script to send mail from different mail accounts using just the one account in 10.4.
    set theBody to "abc"
    set theSubject to "XYZ"
    set theTarget to "[email protected]"
    tell application "Mail"
    set newMessage to make new outgoing message with
    roperties {subject:theSubject, content:theBody}
    tell newMessage
    make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:theTarget}
    *set sender to "[email protected]"*
    end tell
    send newMessage
    end tell
    *set sender to "[email protected]"* no longer works since upgrading to 10.5. It is ignored and the name of the account it is sends from is used in its place.
    Does anybody know how to fix this in 10.5?
    Message was edited by: ChangeAgent

    No, I get my mail on my computer, not on a website. I used to be able to see the information but in sorting another issue I must have changed a setting or something. I have gone to View. Under Message Attributes most things are ticked but many of them are not bold print i.e. they are pale grey. I don't know how to activate them again.

  • Retrieving Mail via a Proxy Server

    Hello,
    I have just recently arrived at my University's campus. In order to access the Internet they informed me that I needed to configure the Proxy Server, which I understand I did successfully since almost every Web Page loads correctly in Safari.
    Nevertheless, Mail cannot retrieve e-mails from my G-Mail account (the POP settings are correct, because I checked my e-mail via Mail until my last day at home).
    Any help regarding this will be highly appreciated,
    Joan
    P.D. Please bear in mind that the Proxy Server is opened for G-Mail, as I can access it via Safari with no problem. In addition, should any of you have any insights as to why Adium (a multinetwork messaging client) does not connect will be really helpful as well.

    Hola Joan.
    What does “Mail cannot retrieve e-mails from my G-Mail account” mean? What’s the problem exactly?
    It could be that you’ve enabled more proxies than you should, thus causing Mail to try to use a proxy that doesn’t really exist.
    In particular, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose the network interface used to connect to Internet from the Show popup menu and try disabling the SOCKS Proxy in the Proxies section if it’s enabled.
    While you’re at it, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.

  • I can still access my .mac email via Mail but not in iCloud

    I set up a new iCloud email address and tried to add my old .mac address (via Manage your Apple ID) and get a message saying that "email address is already verified for another Apple ID".
    I can still send and receive emails on my older .mac account via Mail, my iPad and iPhone. I just want to be able to read my .mac email in a browser if I were to lose the other devices.

    Try simply dismissing the popup by hitting cancel and then Get Mail from the account in question.

    Cannot receive/send emails via Mail on Mac using 10.6.8, keeps asking for password, very frustrating. Any ideas please? Regards

    One more time, iCloud mail accounts are .me, .mac and .icloud. New ones are only .icloud.
    iCloud mail is a standard Imap account that can be used with any mail client in existence. But You are talking about the ability to automatically setup an iCloud account in mail, which did not exist until 10.7.2.
    You can use password or token authentification with iCloud mail (in Mail) it is your choice.
    Set the account manually, set it as Imap, use imap.mail.me.com (no P number) for the incoming email and smtp.mail.me.com as the outgoing server.
    The full settings (ports and security) are here. Use them and it will work, regardless of domain (mac, me and icloud addresses all use the same settings.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 993
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead. SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud. 
    For more information on how to use this information with your email application, consult your application's documentation.

  • Yahoo mail via mac- smtp server authentcation issues using Rogers ISP

    Hi All,
    I know there is tons of comments posted here that are quite redundant in respects to using yahoo mail via mac. I am in Toronto using Rogers as ISP and have set up my pop ok - incoming mail is ok. I try to send a test email and i am getting the message
    Cannot send message using the server smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    The server response was: authentication required - for help go to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-11.html
    I hav tried all kinds of stuff here based on suggestions i have read in this forum.
    incoming mail server- pop.mail.yahoo.com
    outgoing mail server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    server settings- port 587- have also tried 25
    ssl not checked
    authentication is not checked
    i have tried smtp.rogers.broadband.com as an alternative also, but then it simply rejects my authentication password
    I am really stuck here- if anyone out there in Toronto area using Rogers, has any feedback, i greatly welcome it.
    Hope to hear from you.
    Barry
    macbook pro-   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    No. not SSL.
    Server authentication.
    And i don't think you need to add a password there. You are already sending password from the POP settings - SMTP authentication picks up password from there.
    This is from the help file at rogers.com (your ISP?)
    http://help.yahoo.com/help/rogers/mail/pop/pop-15.html
    Are you sure that using these settings don't work?
    This is for Outlook Express for Mac, but your Mail settings should be close enough to find the appropriate boxes.
    If your friend is on rogers yahoo, just duplicate her settings except in the address/password boxes.
    Outlook Express allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile, so you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Rogers Yahoo! Mail messages. To set this up, follow these steps:
    1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
    2. Select the "Mail" tab.
    3. Click the "Add" button.
    4. From the Add menu, click "Mail."
    5. In the Display Name text box, type your name, and then click "Next."
    6. In the email address box, enter your full Rogers Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., [email protected] or [email protected]).
    7. In the Incoming (POP3) box, type:
    pop.broadband.rogers.com
    8. In the Outgoing (SMTP) box, type:
    smtp.broadband.rogers.com
    9. Click "Next."
    10. In the Account Name box, type your full Rogers Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., [email protected] or [email protected]).
    11. In the Password box, type your Rogers Yahoo! Mail password.
    12. If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, then check the box.
    13. Do not check the "Log on using secure password... " box.
    14. Click "Next."
    15. Click "Finish."
    To control deletion of messages from the Rogers Yahoo! Mail Server, follow these steps:
    1. From the Tools menu, choose "Account."
    2. Select the "Mail" tab.
    3. Double-click on your Rogers Yahoo! Mail account.
    4. Select the "Options" tab.
    5. In the Server Options section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a copy of each message on the server" if you want to save your Rogers Yahoo! Mail messages on both the Rogers Yahoo! Mail server and on your local computer. If you would prefer to have your messages deleted from the Rogers Yahoo! Mail server after you have received them in Outlook Express, do not check this box.
    To change your default SMTP port settings:
    1. On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
    2. On the Mail tab, click your Internet Mail account, and then click Edit.
    3. On the Account Settings tab, click Click here for advanced sending options, and then type 587 as the port number for your SMTP (or sending) mail.

  • Issues sending iCloud mail via Mac Mail client

    I'm running OS X Yosemite and use the Mac Mail client to handle mail for my iCloud (mac.com), wish.edu, Gmail, and Outlook accounts.  All work fine and always have... until a few weeks ago.  I came to figure out that while sending email through my iCloud account will show up as a sent email in the sent folder (on my MacBook Pro as well as the web interface and IOS devices) the messages do not get received on the other end.  No error messages.  No returns.  Everything looks normal on my end but the emails never get delivered.
    I logged out of iCloud and logged back in.  I checks the outgoing server info and passwords. I restarted (a lot).  When I run tests, emails sent from the Mac Mail client on my laptop don't get there.  They do get received when sent via the iCloud web interface as well as from my iPhone and iPad.  I even downloaded PostBox and set it up with the exact same settings as Mac Mail, and it sends the iCloud mail just fine.
    This is driving me nuts.  I love Mac Mail, and have used it for years.  I don;t want to have to abandon it for this.  Help?

    Previously everything work properly, no changes in Thunderbird client or at gmail settings.
    Global re index of Thunderbird database was performed.

    I solved the problem by changing Account Settings / Server Setting changed the port to 995 (default was 110) and the security to SSL. (Not sure how the upgrade changed these settings).
