Why won't my iCloud email account work on iPhone 4?

Having problems getting my iCloud email account to work properly within iOS 5 on my iPhone 4. It works perfectly on iCloud.com and Mac OS X Mail and started to work on my iPhone, but since approximately 3 days ago it won't sync or download new messages. I've tried the fix guide provided by Apple and all I've accomplished is to delete all of my folders and messages downloaded prior to when it stopped working. I have also tried restoring the iPhone to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?

So, it turns out that iCloud mail does work on my iPhone, just not through a certain wifi hotspot.
Feel quite idiotic now...

  • HT3748 My exchange email account works in iPhone but it does not work in mac, how do i solve it?

    I've tried several times to add my work exchange email account on macBook Pro but it cant connect to the server. It works fine on my iPhone. Is there any solution to this problem?

    Are you connecting to Exchange 2003? If yes, Mail requires Exchange 2007 and higher. Your iPhone can connect but not Mail. You would have to setup as POP in Mail. Microsoft Entourage 2008 connects to Exchange 2003. It's old End of Life software so it will receive no further updates.
    If you are using one of the newer versions of Exchange you might need to turn off AutoDiscover settings. This link has directions for Microsoft Outlook:

  • HT4623 icloud email account name change iphone 4s

    Hello have been using iphone 4s and icloud email.  I changed my email address and password how do i reset my icloud account email on my iphone 4s?

    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • I want to terminate my @icloud email account

    I want to terminate my @icloud email account, off my iPhone 5c and anywhere else it might be. I don't want to terminate my apple ID or my iCloud account. Just the additional email account it gave me that I cannot delete off my iPhone without clearing all of icloud

    Thank you so much, i kept going to settings>mail, calendar, contacts > iCloud email account and turning off mail didnt work there...

  • 2 iCloud email accounts

    I seem to have a duplicate iCloud email account on my iphone. It is the same account (contains all the same content). I'm wondering if one is the .me and the other is the .icloud .  But, it is a chore to figure out the duplicate messages.  Any ideas on how to get rid of one and not have this duplication again? The problem did not arise on my iPad).  Thanks!

    Unusually, it should not be possible to set up the same account twice. Please check your settings on your device:
    1. "Seetings > iCloud".
    2. "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar".
    Just delete your accounts from your device and then set it back on again in "Settings iCloud".

    Why can't I click on iCloud or my email accounts on my iPhone to change my aol password?

    hello, does it work when you access yahoo mail through this link?: https://mail.yahoo.com/
    in case the problem is still occurring, please go through the steps covered in [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]] or [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (since a mere reinstall won't help in most situations).

  • I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on

    I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on my phone. Can/should I delete the accounts on my phone and start over? It is somewhat of a nuisance to have two email accounts and double the amount of emails. The only thing different about the two iCloud accounts is the email addresses. Thanks.

    Well, seems I managed to unscrew this...I deleted my iCloud mail account and reinstalled it on my phone. That got rid of the duplicate .me/.mac email accounts.

  • Why do I need a separate ICloud email account?

    Not sure why I created or was made to create an iCloud email account? Can someone instruct me?

    What you're doing is setting up a new iCloud account. You need to move your existing MobileMe account to iCloud.
    Do that here: http://www.me.com/move/

It signs in on my iphone with the password i try to type in to my Mac but it says it's wrong, help??

  • I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB.  Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

    I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB.  Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

    It might be caused by storage "buffering".  If so, the space will adjust automatically when another iCloud feature uses the space previously allocated to your deleted email.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

  • New iCloud email account not working - duplicate/ambiguous directory match error

    I set myself up a new iCloud account this morning once I got iOS 5 loaded on my iPhone 3GS. I was able to create a new @me.com email address, but I think I might have stepped on someone else's existing address as when I send it email, I get a rejection immediately with "duplicate/ambiguous directory entry". iCloud email doesn't work on iCloud.com, and iCloud mail account on the iPhone tells me the user or password is incorrect.
    Other than that, iOS 5 is working great so far!

    Same symptoms - let's look at the "cause". I was digging in my iPhone settings and although I did everything as prompted in the iCloud setup here is what has actually happened under the hood.
    First - What iCloud guided me to do.
    •I had a @mac Apple ID I decided to use it for iCloud
    •iCloud said I neeeded a new @me address to use mail and iMessaging and asked me to set one up
    •I set up a new @me email address
    Sencond - The Results
    •I can receive email at my new @me address (expected)
    •I can login to iCloud online with my old Apple ID (expected)
    •I can not send outgoing mail - error on password (unexpected)
    Third - Under the Hood (Settings that are a little odd)
    On my iPhone, under Settings -> Mail, Contacts, etc -> iCloud -> Account,
    At the very bottom under "Advanced" is the email info, now this should be the new active @me address but its NOT! It's my old AppleID with the @mac address - which of course no one can use for "real email" anymore.
    iCloud on my phone is attempting to use my @mac address for outgoing messages!!!! ARGH!
    WORSE is you can not edit this! You can click and see details, change the "name" but you can not change the address!
    I think this might be the issue for all of us on this thread - check it out and see. If so it's something we will def. have to have a fix from apple for. :-( That or perhaps delete your iCloud account, your existing Apple ID and get a new @me Apple ID that will work for email as well. (PITA!) I hope we get a fix from Apple.
