Since moving to the cloud can't get .mac/.me mail to work in Outlook 2011

I get the following error repeatedly in Outlook 2011 for Mac since moving to icloud on Lion OSX.
Anyone know what settings will stop the errors - getting them every few minutes.
Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct.

Error code: -3170
Thanks.

Hi
My server settings are as follows:
Username is the name without the "@mac.com"
Password is my correct password
Incoming server imap.mail.me.com
Using default port (993)
Use SSL to connect (recommended) checked
Always use secure password is unchecked
Outgoing server is smtp.mail.me.com
Override Default port is checked and set to 587
Use SSL to connect is checked
Have tried both Use incoming Server info
and Username and Password (I get the same result with both)
This has been happening for days so it's not the server problems that were causing it.

Go to Settings>Wi-Fi. At the bottom, make sure the "Ask to Join Networks" is ON. When you are out and about, any network the iPad sees will be shown and it will ask you if you want to "Join" it. If it is unsecure/free you tell it yes and you should connect. However, if there is a little padlock looking icon shown with the network name, it means that it is a secure network and you need a password to join. If you don't know it, you can't join. At most Starbucks and such, the Wi-Fi is free and you should be able to simply connect. Not really that hard. There are not security settings on your iPad to adjust. You'll figure it out.
Best.

I accidentally deleted an app that was not backed up to the cloud; can I get it back?

I accidentally deleted an app that was not backed up to the cloud; can I get it back? It wouldn't matter too much except that it was a paid app. A search of topics wasn't successful. I've learned a lot from these discussion support communities. Thank you for any help.

Could I prevail upon you to come up with a better thread title? I resisted my first inclination to move the thread to "Dustbin"; but I will say the title does little to inspire us to help. You may wan to read the article linked in my signature.
Thanks.
I'll change it now. I just realized it sounds rough, but I was mad because I couldn't get it work, it isn't anyone's fault, sorry
EDIT: I got it to work at an usable state! By using the 8192cu driver on the AUR and the suggestions in the comments about disabling power-save, I got it to be usable. It now has up to 8% packet loss, not 30-40% like before, and the ping spikes are now 300-400 ms and less frequent, not 1000-1200ms. It's not working really well but now I can at least surf the web. Thank you all for the patience.
EDIT 2: after testing more I realized it still disconnects every few seconds when I'm far from the AP. However, when connected, I still have very strong signal. If I use it on windows or another distro it doesn't disconnect. I tried compiling the driver from realtek by myself using the istructions in the second post but I don't know how to fix some compile errors, so I decided I'll stick with my usb dongle. Maybe someone will find a better solution.

I can't get my iCloud mail To Work

I've tried every ID and password I can think of and I still can't get my Apple Mail to send/receive emails from my iCloud Account?
What do I need to do to just get it setup correctly. I've tried following the tutorials but haven't had any success.
Any ideas?
(Also, when I try to Setup Mail With system prefs->icloud it tells me Mail can't be enabled at this time try again.
iCloud on my Mac and my iPhone is so frustrating... There are also too many user ids... very confusing!

You should only have one ID for iCloud, and perhaps one for the iTunes Store, depending on how you set it up.
To setup iCloud email you need to login with your iCloud @me.com email address and iCloud password.

Ever since moving to the cloud I have been unable to use the email account on my mac. I have now resolved the incoming mail issue but can't send anything unless I go to the cloud. My mac is too old to operate Lion.

Can anyone help[ me to reset the mail setting on my mac book. Ever since my move the icloud I can't send or receive mail from my account, only from icloud?
Many thanks.
Ian

Greetings Ian,
Lion is required for iCloud which is a bit of information they tell you when you do the migration from MobileMe to iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
Because you are using an older version of OS X, Mail is attempting to talk to the old MobileMe mail servers when iCloud is on a different set of servers.
You will have to reconfigure Mail to use the new servers.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts
Click on the MobileMe account listed on the left.
Go to Advanced and remove the check mark for "enable"
Click the plus sign at the bottom left and add a new account
Enter in your full @me.com e-mail address and then the password
Hold down the "option" key on your keyboard and click the "continue" button (this allows you to manually enter e-mail server information)
For "account type" choose "IMAP"
Fill in the rest of the fields following http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
Assuming all your information is present and you can send and receive you can return to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and remove the old MobileMe account.
Hope that helps.

How can I get my e-mail addresses working

I synchronize my Touch with outlook 2003. The imported e-mail adresses are mainly unusable. Outlook displays the addresses by the name of the contact instead of the complete address. The touch imports the displayed name and not the e-mailaddress. This means that I can't send mails from the Touch using my imported address book. Who recognizes the problem and who knows how to solve it?

BasHIDAP -
I too sync with Outlook 2003 as well. I am confused on your comment about not being able to send messages from your iPhone. Quick question – I am going to assume that you are working Exchange as well.
Though you may not able to view e-mail details when using the Contact list. When compose a message and start typing a name in the ‘To’ filed the phone starts to filter names and at that point you can see the full e-mail address.
As I mentioned above I seem to have no problems send and receiving messages on my iPhone. If this is not the case can you provide additional information as to what happens when you try to send mail?
Respectfully –
BH

I can't get my MobileMe mail account working with ...

I have spend hours with trying to get my MobileMe (www.me.com) mail account to work correctly based on IMAP protocol on my Nokia 5800. I have the correct settings, I have tried both with and without SSL, and I do have other mail accounts working (synchronising properly with IMAP on the 5800). I do use and access the same email account on other devices and PCs and have no similar problem. Consequently I am confused. how to get the issue resolved and would appreciate your help if you have eventually experienced this symptom and did come across it.
Thanks,

How can I get my exchange calendar to appear in Outlook 2011?

I have had this issue multiple times. I even have a new Macbook Pro because I couldn't solve this on the previous machine. Now I can's solve it on this machine. My exchange account works fine on a PC, my iPhone 4, and OWA. There are 2 other Macbook Pro users and 3 Macbook users on our network. They have no problem with any part of Outlook/Exchange. Even when I create a new user on one of their machines, my calendar does not appear. It seems to be downloading the calendar events, but the calendar is blank. I have repaired my identity and even created a new identity on my machine. Tried other machines (which worked fine in the past). Since it won't work on other machines, reformatting doesn't appear to be the solution this time (as it was before). I can't find any solution online in any forum (apple, microsoft, outlook, exchange, etc). Someone please help! Thanks.

Note if you don't have any folders on your Dock, note the trashcan is on one side of the dock with a divider between it and applications. Minimized windows (with the yellow button on the upper left corner) will go between the trash and that divider. You can drag folders into the section between the minimized windows and the trash.

Can't Get Mac App Store Notifications Working

I've noticed recently that I've stopped seeing the red notification icon pop-up on my Mac App Store dock icon as it should be doing. I also haven't seen any Mac App Store notifications pop-up in the Notifications Center for quite some time as well.
However, if I open the Mac App Store, it acknowledges available updates and shows the red icon at that point. Once available updates are installed, the red icon dissapears as expected.
I've confirmed this issue does not occur in a new user account and I've tried, with no success, to remove the App Store .plist files from my user library folder, from both the Preferences folder and the Cookies folder, then restarted the computer.
I'm wondering if there is some other settings file somewhere that could be affected in some way and causing this issue.
Any suggestions?

Check System Preferences->Spotlight->Privacy and see
if your boot volume is listed.
Something that can sometimes cause all manor of strange
issues with the MacApp Store is if the boot volume somehow
got listed in the privacy pane. The MacApp Store app uses
Spotlight data to dertermine updates.

Since move to the cloud. Can not get get mail on my I-mac that I did it from. My other I mac

Any Mac users on M.me having this problem since moving to the cloud? There seems to be a sync issue, it says it working than stops with no comformation.
So now I can only see my mail having to log in twice to access mail. I hope that Apple can see this needs to be addressed before to long!

Your profile states you are using 10.6.8 which won't run iCloud. If so you would need to manually enter your iCloud Mail (note, 10.6.8 will work with iCloud Mail, but not any of the other iCloud services.
Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

After moving to iCloud I can only get my email through the cloud, no new emails are making it to my home computer. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this issue?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Which OS are you using.

Recently when I try to delete mail on my mac-mini I get the following message: The message "..." could not be moved to the mailbox "Trash - On My Mac" How can I delete mail?

My problem: When I try to delete an email message I get the message - "The message “...” could not be moved to the mailbox “Trash — On My Mac.”
It appear that when I try to delete an email on my mac-mini a copy of the message goes to trash and I can delete it, but the original message stays in my regular list of emails. How do I get my Mail program to return to its normal delete function?

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox. Try again to delete the message.
