TS4002 Cannot receive iCloud mail in OS X Mail

Since the 1st July I can't get .mac or .me e-mail to work on a G5 or Intel Mac with 10.5.8 in either Entourage 2004, 2008 or MacMail - The settings are as per the Apple Support instructions (to the letter) and no Mail comes in - I know what I am doing with a Mac so I know it's not me - What gives? - does iCloud just not work unless you buy a new machine with Lion?.... Somebody changed something with iCloud after the 30th that they are not owning up to I suspect - Steve please come back.....

Latest news:
Spent two hours with a Genius at the Coventry Garden Apple Store last night and no matter what he tried he could not get it to work! They (other Genuis's had a look in) are at a loss as to what is going on...... All the settings are correct, but Mail in Snow Leopard or earlier will not work!
The only "solution" it seems is to buy a new machine with Lion on it - a very poor option as this is just simple old technology email we are talking about here! It would be nice if Apple paid to fix this problem and not the customer.
Anybody out there who has a fix for this?

TS4002 Cannot receive incoming mail. Any Suggestions?

I am able to send mail but not receive it on my iMac with version 10.7.4. I had mac mail and signed up for iCloud. Any suggestions? I have the lightening bolt under the Inbox .Mac mail and then I try to push the mail the spin sign keeps spinning.

After struggling for several more hours with my issue adding my MSN mail account to my new iPhone6's iOS8, I finally figured it out! Apparently, this applies to Hotmail as well.
Here's the fix, in case someone else happens to need it:
Instead of selecting Outlook.com or Other after tapping on "Add Account," select Exchange.
Enter the username as the email address.
Don't enter your password! From the desktop or laptop that you normally use to access your MSN/Hotmail email, log out of your email account and then log back in, go to your account settings, click on Security, and then request a temporary password for access via apps. That password will be a funky, long combination of random letters and/or numbers. It will appear on your computer screen right away.
Enter that password onto your iOS8 device.
Voila, you're done

How do I continue to use Mail on my MacBook2? i use iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but cannot receive my Mail account on my older MacBook.

how do I continue to use Mail on my MacBook2? i use iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but cannot receive my Mail account on my older MacBook. I have followed the iCloud/move link as suggested but it doesn't give me the continue to use Mail option. Any help gratefully received.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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.

TS4002 Is anyone having problems receiving icloud mail on safari?

Is anyone having problems receiving icloud mail on safari?

Hey Rick!
If what you mean by "iCloud mail" your [email protected] account, you should be able to get that in icloud.com via any web browser on any *computer.*
Your mail is accessed on your iPhone/iPod Touch via the Mail app. You CAN access your mail via Safari on the iPad, but I wouldn't do it that way; I'd just load your account into Mail like you do on the iPhone.
Good luck!

please help

If Apple has disabled or deactivated your e-mail account, then you will not be able to use it. Did Apple tell you why it was disabled?
If you don't know why Apple disabled it, you'll need to contact Apple Support to find out why.

Mac OX x 10.8: I can send e-mail; cannot receive e-mail. Connect Doctor lights are green.

I cannot receive e-mail on my new iMac with OS x 10.8 Can send; can retrieve from host server. Both connection doctor lights are green.

In my version of mail, the outgoing settings are a bit hidden. You have to click on the Server Settings... at the bottom of the screen.
I hid my user settings by dragging another window over them. The button is just below the hidden stuff. I forget what 10.1 looked like.
You could try Thurderbird. I use it. I am not sure what version you need. I used 0.7 with Mac OS 10.2. I'd try the last version of 1.x as your first quess. These are in a little harder format to sort out.

I CANNOT RECEIVE E-MAIL, USING IPAD2

I CANNOT RECEIVE E-MAIL, USING IPAD2

First of all, do you have Internet connectivity? I get email fine when I am connected to a WiFi network (I don't have 3G), but I can't if I'm not connected.
Secondly, have you set up your email account settings correctly? Compare them with your computer (or however you were getting them before) or ask you email provider for assistance.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

I'm not positive about this, but I'd guess that the voicemail service is with your cellular provider i.e. will work w/o the phone instrument.
Doing the "remote lock" should not AFAIK prevent Find My... from working. But it might discourage a thief and cause him to turn it off before iCloud can snare its location? I'd have guessed NOT i.e. that it would register instantly, but I dunno how fast that works.
In any case that's your only hope at this point, to monitor your email and see if a "Found!" is received. If it were me, I'd use my netbook to check email all night long and wake me if one comes in. Good luck, and report back!

I cannot receive incoming mail on my PC through my iCloud account

I can send, but cannot receive E-Mail, suddenly.

I am a new convert to the entire world of Apple, aside from a longtime Safari proponent and user. A month and a half ago, I purchased a MacBook Pro 15" (you all know the specs, I went with 512 g flash drive upgrade) and am extremely happy with it. I have Windows 7 x64 installed on a 200g partition, solely so I can continue to use a few SONY apps that I need for video and audio editing for my business. These apps are NOT available for Apple machines and are essential to my photo restoration and video transfer and editing business. Ok, that's the environment.
Yesterday, as I normally do, I woke up, coffee, check on all of my animals, Mac starts with scheduled start-up at 7:20am as per usual while I am busy with my 'wake up' duties. After the wife was off to work and I was ready to check E-Mails and check for any correspondence from clients, I open 'mail,' (I have it set to start at scheduled start-up) and notice there is no E-Mail in my two pop accounts. I have a Gmail account and the iCloud account. 'This is odd.' I invoke 'receive' a couple times. Nothing. I turn on my phone (Blackberry) and it starts making noise as it normally does when E-Mail comes in. This is weird. I reboot my lovely Mac. No joy. No E-Mail. So I start troubleshooting. I figure out that I can send from all four accounts but cannot receive on any of them.
I reboot to the Windows partition. I open Live Mail. It fills up on my two pop accounts. Even more weirder. I have the Gmail account on this partition also, but it rarely receives E-Mail so it can wait. No iCloud on the Windows side. We all understand that.
On the Apple side, I removed all accounts from mail and re-established them with no resulting solution being apparent.
I have made no changes at my account on the server (webhero.com) so I am baffled. I looked for solutions here, but have found nothing, which is why this is being written.
Because I have seen no solutions, I consider that something unique has occurred to my computer that is not a new issue with many other Mac users.
My system is updated to all recent standards so there isn't much more to post
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks for looking,
Kelly J.

Personally I will never leave Windows behind. Mac just doesn't cut it for me. For one it is to much of a closed system and the door is closing even more as I type this. MS isn't that much better with the release of Win 8 (which I will not be using at all except for Tech supporting others).
Apple does not like to give the user options and if they do you have to know the command line to implement them, in some cases. In others there simply is no user choice, like sounds for events.
With the advent of the newer Mac's with Non upgradeability, IE the retina models and the newest iMacs, this is certainly not the systems for me.
The OS? Well IMHO OS X isn't any better then Windows and in most case I like Windows better. IMHO Windows is an easier system to use. Not sure about Win 8.
Been running Windows for 20+ years and I can count on one hand the number of BSODs I've had. But then I run Clean system and the desktops I built myself. Notebooks are mostly Dell Business line models and my one MBP.
BSODs happen from bad hardware or drivers for that hardware. OS X is slightly better but Apple is not immune from writing or using bad drivers and the hardware is no better built then most any Windows PC. It just comes in a different case.
Apple Lived on the "It Just works" saying for a long time. That is not the case today, as you may see from all the posts in all the Apple hardware forums.
I'm Fixento get back to work, Y'all. Ga day.
