TS4002 My iCloud email account in mail.app keeps been 'disconnected' despite me having full internet access...

As description,
I keep having issues where mail.app keeps losing collection to the icloud account for no apparent reason, even though I have full Internet access?
any ideas?

Sorry David,
Really appreciate your help did not mean to confuse things.
I am having issues primarily with mail.app in osx (keeps diconnecting)
most of the time mail comes through to my iphone/ipad with no issues. However sometimes I have push issues with the iphone, it breaks until I close and reopen the mail app in ios (I belive this is an issue some others have)
The issue with ios started when i transitioned to iCloud from MobileMe (was .mac previous to this) the issue with osx only staretd with Mountain Lion?
Hope this is now clear. (Could the issue be server side, apples end?)

How to setup email account on mail app?

I currently have an ".edu" account that I usually log-in through a browser.
I usually place my email username in mail.office365.com then redirects me to adfs."school here".edu
Then I usually do the actual login username and password for the organizational account.
We are currently using the Outlook Web App on our school email.
So, I don't know how to use this .edu account for the mail app in Windows 8.1.
Is there any manual settings to add a microsoft account in windows 8.1?

Hi,
Did you mean that you want to add a “.edu” account to Mail App (Tile)in win8.1, if so, please open mail app, move mouse to the right edge, click Settings>Accounts>Add an account>Other Account.
But to get started with Mail app, you need a Microsoft account, see detailed information in this link:

Need to import 20 email accounts from Mail.app to my iPhone 6.

HI,
At one time I would see a listing in iTunes of all the email accounts I could import into my iPhone 4.
I did that for a while but then was running low on space and deleted all the email accounts on the phone.
Now I have an iPhone 6 with more room and want to import the accounts.
But the listing is no longer shown in iTunes. (must have gone away in one of the updates).
I have iCloud linking my Safari tabs across my devises so I think iCloud is running properly.
Is there a quick way to get the accounts into my phone? Or do I have to add them one at a time?
Thanks for any tips/info.
DA./

It does sound like the index is corrupted - if the messages aren't in the index, then the fact that they're in the mbox still won't let mail see them.
Are there a lot of messages that are missing?
if it's not too many - then open each one from the mbox-messages - then click message-move to from the mail menu & "move " them to the folder they're already in - after that they'll be visible in the mail app. actually , choose "move to xxx again" - it saves time. It doesn't matter if you do this to a message that is already visible in mail.
I don't know a quick way to do this - but you can select multiple messages from the library & ctrl-click-open which at least opens a load at once.
moving them in finder, or trying to import from a copy of the folder doesn't help.
There's probably a much easier way - try some serious searching of these discussions.

My email account in Mail.app is IMAP, but when I delete emails, they don't delete from other devices connected to the mail server with IMAP. Deleted mail on other devices delete as normal from the server and thus from other devices as normal.

MacBook Pro, late 2011 version. Up to date Mountain Lion.
My email account in the Mail.app is set up as IMAP, but when I delete emails in the Mac Mail App, they are not deleted from the mail clients of the other devices that are connected to the mail server with IMAP. IMAP works perfectly between Windows Outlook 2010, iPad Mail App and Android default mail client. Deleted messages behave correctly, as in delete from one device and the mail is deleted from all devices.
Having just tested in reverse order on the Mac; emails deleted from the email client on Windows, iPad and Android are not deleted in the Mac Mail App. It appears that the account is behaving like POP rather than IMAP.
Any advice on how to have IMAP work correctly on the MacBook Pro Mail.app?
Thank you.

Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this! I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did. Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
The lesson learned, never assume - always double check! All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
Cheers

Mail on my touch locks email account on Mail.app on Mac

When I use the mail application of the touch it locks up the account on my Mac in Mail.app. Is there a way to prevent this and still use the email on the touch?

This appeared to be caused by the fact that I keep all my email on the email server for at least 30 days. and It took time to process all of my email.

TS4002 canot setup email account in MAIL

I'm trying to setup an Email address (me) on mac book pro mac os Mail
however when i logn on ICLOUD it does work so it's probably setting issue but which one ???

If your using OS X Lion version 10.7.2 or later, follow these instructions to set it up automatically: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html. Just sign into your iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then check Mail.
If you're using OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) or Leopard (10.5), see http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html. If you have Tiger (10.4), see http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail2.html.

External hard drives and sd cards are not ejecting and Mail app keeps crashing any body else having this issue?

Hard drives also refuse to force eject. Therefore I have to remove them bringing up the warning.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Only 1 of my Mail accounts in mail.app won't show up in itunes!?

Hi,
So I have three email accounts in mail.app. 1 mobileme, 1 IMAP, and 1 Exchange. The MobileMe and the IMAP will show up in my mail accounts list in itunes, but my Exchange account doesn't show up. I was able to manually create the exchange account on my iPhone, so it's not a huge deal, but still... any ideas?
Thank,
Lou Teti

lou tetl,
The list in iTunes under the Info tab is the list of accounts you can transfer the settings for from your computer directly to the iPhone.
It is not a list of the accounts on the iPhone, or a list of all accounts on your computer.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Exporting Entourage Account to Mail.app

I'd like to export my Entourage settings for an Exchange email account into Mail.app. When I open Mail.app and try the "import" option, it doesn't do anything. I have tried copying the information under the settings for this particular Entourage email account into Mail.app, but am unable to connect to the Exchange server.

I'd like to see this too. I got a new job and CAN NOT get MAIL to work, but the account settings work in ENTOURAGE. I ONLY NEED TO IMPORT THE EMAIL ACCOUNT - NOT the contacts, calendar, etc.
CAN I IMPORT AN EMAIL ACCOUNT - (NOT a "Mailbox")
HELP & THANKS!

ICloud email account not showing up

I've tried without success to add my icloud email account to Mail. I can go to my ICloud account to get my mail and even get it on my IPhone 5S, but not on my IMac. Any advice?

The iCloud account is auto created by signing into iCloud. The cox.net account will have to be created manually by you.
For your iCloud account, go to system preferences and sign out of iCloud completely. Then go to Mail's preferences, accounts tab, and see if the iCloud account is gone from accounts listed. If not, highlight the account and delete it using the "-" sign at the bottom of the window.
Quit Mail, then reopen Mail. Go back into System Preferences, click on the iCloud icon and sign back into iCloud. Be sure to check the box for Mail.
That should correct any problems you may be having with the iCloud account.

HT202667 I don't know the password to my iCloud email account. My Apple and iTunes ID is not my iCloud email address. How do I find my iCloud password? I would like to add this email address to a mail app.

I Downloaded an app that keeps all address' in one place. I went to add my iCloud email and when asked for my password, nothing I tried worked. It is obviously not the same password that I use to login to my Apple or iTunes account. How do I find out my password?

Hi Kim,
The password for your iCloud account and your Apple ID are one in the same, as the iCloud email account is an alias for your Apple ID as well.
After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud. You can also sign in using the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account.
iCloud: Set up an @icloud.com email address

TS3899 When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address. This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account. It is frustrating and poor design.

When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps on my iPad, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address. This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account. It is frustrating and poor design, especially since I had already checked the From: address.
iPad 4 running iOS 8.1.3

3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

TS4002 How do I re-add an existing iCloud email account to iPad 2?

I set up iCloud email OK on my new iPad 2. I did not previously have a MobileMe account. When the email stopped working (I got repeated messages to say server unavailable) I followed Apple instructions to delete the account from the iPad with the intention of re-adding it.
When I try to do this, it always wants to make me create a new @me.com email address, and I can't find a way to tell it my existing one. If I try to add my existing address, it tells me that it is taken and I have to choose another (of course it's taken, it's mine!)
I can login to anything that requires an Apple ID (iTunes Store, Apple ID pages, iCloud.com etc.) with either my actual Apple ID or my existing @me.com email address and all the features on iCloud.com except Mail work fine, including Locate my iPad, Documents, Contacts, Calendar. The email address is also set up manually in Mail on my MacMini (OS 10.6.8) and still works from there. I don't wish to upgrade to 10.7 because I have some programs that won't work on that.
How do I tell my iPad that I already have an iCloud email account @me.com?

I have solved this - partially. I deleted the iCloud account from my iPad, rebooted it, then re-added it using my @me.com address as my AppleID instead of my primary AppleID. These are still linked to one another.
The iPad still says it cannot contact the iCloud server, so in the Advanced pane of the Mail settings, Outgoing Mail Server, I have allowed it to use the outgoing server of another email address of mine.

How do i get my icloud email account set up in mail on our new mac.

How do i set up my iCloud account on our new Mac My family have set up their Sky, gMail, & hot mails accounts really easily yet mine just woun't work keep hetting a message unable to conect to outgoing mail server.
why are 3rd party accounts so easy to set up and my apple one keeps failing Help...

Thanks - its 1 month old (max), the OSX version is 10.8.4 we already have iCloud set up on my iPhone 4S & this iMac.
I try to tick mail in the cloud menu but get an error message telling me "iCloud mail couldn't be enabled from the iCloud Preference Pane. Open mail and add iCloud account from Mail preferences"
when I do that i get the message " the icloud IMAP server p15-imap.mail.me.com is not responding. Try checking the network conection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server may be temorarily unavailable. If you continue you may not be able to recieve messgaes.
we thought the incoming server name looked odd (p15- imap.mail.me.com) but its greyed out and can't be edited even though other 3rd party accounts can.
really don't want to have to ditch the iCloud email account as i use it the most & loads of friends contact me on it
But been trying with my Dad all afternoon to fix it and are both stumped.
Any help would be really appreciated
Thanks
