Setup icloud email in windows 8 issue

I've just upgraded to Windows 8 and am having an issue adding my iCloud account to the mail app. I've added the mail with the following settings:
Username = <my email>@me.com
imap.mail.me.com
SSL = on
Port = 993
smtp.mail.me.com
SSL = on
Port = 587 (also tried 25)
Outgoing server requires authentication = yes
Use the same username and password to send and receive email = yes
I seem to be receiving email fine, but when I send an email it takes a long while to 'sync', then it notifies me that <my email>@me.com is unavailable. Using the same settings on other non-Win8 devices seems to be working.
Anyone have any clues as to what I'm doing wrong here (aside from upgrading to Win 8; haha)? Thanks.
Cheers,
me

I am having the same problems, but the thing is none of the said settings work. I've tried different settings from different threads regarding this problem. Removed my account and setting it up again almost every day now. I'd get lucky once in a while the one email gets sent every time I reinstalled my account, but then it won't send again. Its soooooo stressful! This problem has left me stressed out since I got my computer 4days ago, because I cannot send emails to my clients. my ***@me.com email works fine in all my devices except my pc which works on windows8.
if any one can help me with the settings, I would very much appreciate it.
I can receive mails through my IMAP settings, but not through SMTP... my SSL is turned off and tried ports 25 and 587 already, but none of the ports are working for me.
Help!

This what I set our 2003 at least a dozen times, nothing what so ever changes, unless I use these entries we can not get a TEST of the account to run through to the end.
However with that we now always get the error 0x800ccc7d every day now for the first few emails.

Make sure "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" is checked.

Cannot setup Exchange email in windows 8.1

Hi,
I've just installed windows 8.1 on my laptop and now wanting to setup an email account through the control panel but when I get there I click on the Mail (Outlook 2013)(32-bit) nothing happens. it will not take me to the next screen to let me start
setting up a new mail account which is an exchange account by the way.
is this a problem with windows or mail?
i'm not sure if I am in the right forum to ask this question.
thanks,
ted.

Hi,
First, please check if you can setup an email account on another computer.
Besides, please check the following path to see if you can click the cpl file.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\MLCFG32.CPL
And please check the registry path below to see if the path is right.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Cpls
If the above is ok, I recommend you check the installation of Office 2013: Click-to-Run or MSI. If it is Click-to-Run, I recommend you switch to use an MSI-based Office edition to check the result. For more details about this, you can refer to the following
article.
Click-to-Run: Switch to using an MSI-based Office edition
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/excel-help/click-to-run-switch-to-using-an-msi-based-office-edition-HA101850538.aspx
If the issue persists, in order to resolve it more efficiently, I recommend you post to Office forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems. You might get a better answer there.

How can I check my icloud emails using windows xp?

My MacBook Pro crashed and I am currently using an old laptop on windows xp. When I go to enter online in Icloud.com my emails it does not allow me to see my emails unless I install icloud on my laptop. The problem is that when I follw the directions and the relevant link it sais that icloud is compatible only with windows 7 or 8. Does that practically means that I will not check my emails until my mac is back in life?

Thank you for the answer
I am trying to access my emails using my browser but when I enter my ID and password a message appears saying that I need to set up icloud first in my current device before I can make use (enter) icloud.com
Then I pressed more info to find out how I can do that in a windows pc and I found out the following:
''To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first step set up your iCloud account on your other devices or Mac, then install iCloud for Windows''
Any suggestion?

Setup icloud email address uner Microsoft Outlook 2010

I had followed the instruction given by Apple to me to setup my new icloud email address under Microsoft Outlook 2010. It did not work!
I try to use the configuration for my me.com, it still failed.
Can somebody show me the details to set it up in detail.
Thank you.
(ps - I setup my me.com under thunderbird and iphone without any problem. Only this new address is not working .....)

Setup apple email on windows 8.1

having issues setting up me.com on a Windows 8.1 laptop

This was great info. On the original download of iCloud it updated my Outlook which I really did not want. I have removed that as it caused conflicts. So I utilized the Win 8.1 mailbox but did not enter my Username or actually I shortcut it without the "....me.com" and had the smtp SSL still checked on (default). Thanks again!

Not possible to setup icloud email filter rules from ipad

Users on ipads with icloud for email appear to have no way to set or edit their email filter rules, as this functionality is not provided via any mail app menu, and attempts login and edit these via webmail is not possible since Apple has set icloud.com to intercept and disallow ipad web browser logins. Is there a workaround or do we just direct people over to gmail?

No, there is no workaround available. Unfortunately, you would have to use a PC or Mac in order to sign in to the web portal www.cloud.com.

Icloud information for windows 8.1?

Hi, I have windows 8.1 and i am trying to setup my icloud email to it. So, long story short I cant connect. I need to know if icloud is EAS or IMAP. I need to know Incoming (IMAP) email Server and Outgoing (SMTP) email Server and the ports. Can anyone help me or direct me to a youtube video that helps?

Those should be the correct settings. See if this helps: http://miapple.me/2013/08/16/setting-up-icloud-email-in-windows-8-1-mail-app/.

ICloud Email not working with Outlook 2013

I'm trying to set up my iCloud email on my Outlook 2013, using this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
But it keeps asking me for smtp password, even though the password is right.
Anyone help please?
Thanks in advance.

The problem are the wrong SSL setting. There's a detailed description, should work for outlook, too:

ICloud email appears when I IMessage

As soon as I updated to iOS7 my ICloud email now appears when IMessaging to another Iphone. Why? How do I adjust this setting so my phone number will appear instead of my ICloud email.

I had this issue too. I checked the settings as described above and it did not fix the issue.
My other problem was that I was not getting any iMessages on my iPad Mini or laptop with Mtn Lion. I went into my own contact card on all my devices and made sure that my iCloud username (which is one of my emails, and not the icloud email) is labeled as "home". (the other options are work, other, etc.) I am now getting my texts (iMessages) on those 2 devices.
For some reason, one person I text to now has it coming from my phone number again, but others don't and that is really odd. So what is going on? It would be great for Apple to have some instructions of how this all should be set up so that we could fix it ourselves.

HT4864 I'm using Comcast email, how do I setup iCloud with Comcast? I have an iPhone and iPad 2, my home computer is using Windows XP, so I guess I'm out of luck using iCloud with XP.

I'm using Comcast email, how do I setup iCloud with Comcast? I have an iPhone and iPad 2, my home computer is using Windows XP, so I guess I'm out of luck using iCloud with XP.

Forwarding email from comcast to icloud is different than icloud managing comcast email. One disadvantage of forwarding is that when you respond to an email originally sent to the comcast address and forwarded to icloud, your reply will have the icloud address as the source, not your comcast. That is a problem for many users.
If your comcast account is IMAP, then there's no reason to forward. Just define two accounts in your mail app, one for comcast and one for icloud. Once done, you don't have to worry about dealing with two services, it's all done in a unified way.
And.... you are not talking to Apple here, we're just users like you. Apple doesn't participate in these forums.

My wife just purchased an iPhone. She has an Apple ID but it is linked to her gmail address. She wants to create her own iCloud email address but the setup tools don't let us do that.

I have aniCloud account apple id, linked to a MobileMe address (which I converted to an iCloud account)
My wife just purchased an iPhone. She has her own Apple Id -- but it is linked to a gmail address.
I wanted to create a new iCloud email address and account for her, but the Mail Setup won't let us use .icloud and keeps referring her back to log into the gmail server.
How can we convert her gmail address to an icloud address if Mail Setup refuses to let her use icloud.com?
One other issue: Her iTunes are linked to my account, and my wife would like her own separate account.

Actually, I want her to have a separate iTunes account. Our marriage is fine, but our musical tastes are vastly different That's another issue; right now want to focus on getting my wife in .icloud email address.

Hopefully this details out all the things you may need to help me out. I can't go into an Apple story due to the amount of different devices I have.
Be advised, this issue isn't loyalty deterring, as much as it is annoying. This used to work before moving to iCloud, if it can be fixed, that would be awesome.
Thanks,
