Setting mail with iCloud

Hi,
I'm trying to setup mail with my iCloud account but when I use the mail app I can't see my mail. When I go on the iCloud web site everything works fine but it's not working on my Ipad. I can send email with it no problems but I can't see the content of my inbox. I check the setting in my Setting>Mail,contact and everything looks ok. Was I supposed to get an activation email from iCloud? I don't know what to do anymore it's really frustrating...
Thanks

iCloud email is IMAP, which means that your Mail application reads the messages from the server. Therefore if you delete a message from your Mac, it will also appear deleted online at icloud.com and on your iPhone.
Your signature says you have 10.5.2 - is this correct? (If not please update your signature to prevent confusion). If it is, you can access email on an existing iCloud account (you would have to set the account up on your iPhone) though no other iCloud facilities will work. The setup method is described, with illustrations, here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS). Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one. But I want it to sync with my stuff. What can I do? I haven't been able to find help anywhere online... Thanks!

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

Have backed up your iPhone with iTunes to a computer? Then you can restore a replacement iPhone from this backup, and this with also restore the camera roll. The iTunes backups will contain the camera roll.

RE: Can't send mail with iCloud from Mac

OK so you have made everyone using a mobileme account switch to iCloud- I still use the mail icon on my Macbook Pro and every now and then
the server quits and does not allow me to send emails. I run the server doctor and only my address gets the green light. The smtp.me.com: my username
is always red. I have checked my user name and made sure my password is correct and still I m locked out of sending emails. I have time sensitive work that I need to send it to clients and there is nothing more frustrating than having to tell a client, I can't send an email right now. What can be done for this.
Here is what the details have to say:

maybe you can figure out why I can't send any email and possibly help me to fix the problem. I m not a fan of iCloud it has been nothing but a headache and I am tired of having to put my clients off. I am loosing money thanks to all of this.

It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've aasked the Hosts to remove it.
The first thing to try would be to sign out in System Preferences>iCloud, then sign back in again and check 'Mail' and any other data types you need in the list. This will set Mail up, hopefully correctly.
If you are still having problems accessing or sending mail go to http://appleid.apple.com and change your password, making sure that it complies with Apple's requirements: at least eight characters, of which at least one must be a numeral and one a capital letter.
Note that iCloud does not interact with any other email service. You cannot use it to check other email accounts, and you cannot send using its smtp server with any address other than your @me.com one as the 'From' address.
You should be able to set up other accounts separately in the Mail application: these would be unaffected by iCloud in any way.

Setting mail with Cox (or other services with different servers for pop and smtp)

My Cox mail account uses different servers for pop and smtp (my personal ISP 1&1 does too).
The mail applet on my Blackberry Curve 8330 with Verizon does not allow to define different servers for pop and smtp, and further, for SSL smtp mail, the port is fixed at 995 and cannot be changed, while Cox (and 1&1) want to use 587 or something like that.
As a result, I can only receive mail with these services.
I also have yahoo mail, which works fine, so I can send mail with it and it is not a life-and-death situation, but I would like to be able to just reply to email sent to my Cox address.
I called Verizon and they said BlackBerry provides the mail access through their servers and the applet, so there is nothing they can do.
Is there a way to set it such that I can not only receive but also send mail through either of these services?
Thanks in advance,
Didier
PS: Other than that, the Curve on Verizon rocks!!! so much better down here than AT&T it's not even funny.

OK, thank you for the input.
The problem I have with this solution is like the one I have now using yahoo.
There are 2 problems:
1) mailing lists want the mail to come from the account that is subscribed, so if the cox account is subscribed, I can't contribute from the blackberry, and if the blackberry account is subscribed, I don't get my mail in Outlook. Neither is good for me.
2) people who send me mail to the Cox account and get replies from me from the blackberry continue responding to the account that can send from the blackberry (not Cox), and from that point on I do not have that mail on the computer.
The issue of having two copies is no big deal, I just delete the mail I do not need. I would rather have two than none.
Really, Blackberry should modify the email service so that they directly support mail systems like those of Cox and 1&1. I am sure there are others. They should also allow the use of another port for SSL than 995. I have not seen anyone using 995 for SSL.
Until recently, I had a BB provided by my employer, and we had a BES, and that worked really well. I would like to emulate as much of that functionality as possible without having to pay somebody another $10 or $20 a month just for the priviledge of having an account on a private BES server.
Anyway, thanks for the exchange and suggestions.

HT4910 Can I restore deleted g mail with icloud

Can I restore deleted g mail with icloud

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Gmail and iCloud are different mail services, so you can't recover Gmail mails with your iCloud mail

I can't send mail with iCloud

I cannot send mail with my ipod touch using my icloud account

I'm just posting this as I did for all these threads for the same issue:
Ok I think this problem here is Apple... It's a DNS problem. You get this problem depending on what smtp server you are registered on.
I always get the message that "p06-smtp.mail.me.com" failed...
But according to the nslookup command there are only the servers "p01, p02, p03, p04"... no p05 and p06 or p07 and p08 ...
What I did to get it to work (only considered as workaround):
first I tried to add a second SMTP server with the address "smtp.mail.me.com", it seemed that the mail went through... but never arrived... then I configured "p01-smtp.mail.me.com" as second server and it worked!!
What is the problem with this workaround?
When you change the password! As it doesn't accept the Apple Token you must configure your Apple ID credentials manually... however when you change them, you have also to change the manually configured second SMTP server!

Can you set Mail with 'outgoing only' addresses?

I run my own mail server that collects all my incoming emails, but have many addresses to send from. On ahem Outlook, I could stop accounts from collecting mail, and set them to send mail only.

It does only sync over wi-fi!

Synchronize mail with iCloud

I installed Lion one week ago and I wonder how to save my mails into iCloud, the mails I receive via my ISP. Which configuration is needed?
Thanks for your answers

You can't add other accounts to iCloud. If you want to have all emails in your iCloud account from other providers, just copy them to the inbox of iCloud.

Setting up mail with iCloud

Several questions:
I am getting an iPhone 5 and am also going to tether it to my iMac to get my email and for web browsing,
especially for larger files. I am dumping my current DSL provider as a result. The DSL provider
has all email run out of Google's gmail.
1) If I get iCloud email, will this download into the Apple mail on my iMac, and do I have to delete
the messages from iCloud mail after getting them on my iMac?
2) If I don't get iCloud email, am I stuck having to go to a web site to get my email?

iCloud email is IMAP, which means that your Mail application reads the messages from the server. Therefore if you delete a message from your Mac, it will also appear deleted online at icloud.com and on your iPhone.
Your signature says you have 10.5.2 - is this correct? (If not please update your signature to prevent confusion). If it is, you can access email on an existing iCloud account (you would have to set the account up on your iPhone) though no other iCloud facilities will work. The setup method is described, with illustrations, here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

Problems setting up Mail with iCloud

Hi,
   I am running os version 10.9.5. I have a mac.com apple id. I set up iCloud a long time ago with this id and was prompted to create an iCloud.com address which I was able to do successfully. I never used it or logged into iCloud since. Everything was syncing fine with my devices but at some point Mail stopped working (or may never have worked). I did not notice since I was not using it.
    I decided to try and fix it but am not having any luck. I searched and followed support documents and still nothing. I have sent test emails to both the mac.com and iCloud addresses and delivery fails with unknown or illegal alias for both.
     I have signed out of iCloud on all my devices and deleted the iCloud account from Mail. When I try to re-create the email account I can successfully log into iCloud with the mac.com id and Contacts, etc set up fine. When I check the Mail option, I get prompted to create a new iCloud email address. If I use my current one, it says it already exists. When I try to create a new one and click create, it acts like it is checking, returns with no error but doesn't do anything else. It just sits at the prompt waiting to check the new address again.
     I have tried everything I can think of short of contacting apple directly. Any help with this very frustrating issue would be appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: funny thing is, replies are going to be sent to the address that doesn't work.
