    diesel,

    Congrats and lucky you! did you do anything to make the receiving work? I'm still stuck with unable to receive mail addressed to @icloud.com. But someday ago sending became working by magic itself though I didn't change anything or receive any apple notice. Initially both sending and receiving were not working. Though sending works now but is useless because all replies will bounced. Really not sure what is happening at Apple ...  luckily it is not mail e-mail account and probably would never be as email is the most fundamental desired servcies and i would not want to use something not reliable!

    @ kcl169,

     

    Hi. No, I didn't do anything. I've just been sending test emails to myself from two different email accounts (one hotmail and one gmail) every few days.

     

    After consistently bouncing for a number of days, it finally started working. I guess Apple is just rolling it out across the user base slowly. Weird but that's how it seems.

    I can also confirm this is all working now. New options have shown up on my iPhone and on iCloud.com to include the new email address.

    Just received my official confirmation email from Apple on the activation of my @icloud.com address. Has anyone else?

    No, nothing yet. But the account is now working fine for me.

      You are correct.  Seems to be the order of the day as you say..."inconsistent".  Does not send from iClould email but uses Apple IDs to send at least for me on an iMac.  Very confusing and not like Apple to let this happen.  Have just decided to do the best possible with what I have.  Maybe next year, as the Christmas song pines...maybe.

    My friend, I am officially in love with you! That is, after reading your spacious post above. Every single word in it — it is really I who wrote it. Ridiculous as it seems to be replying to a post dated Oct 11, 2012 10:22 AM, on Sep 6, 2016 4:37 PM, so it's four years old.

     

    Nevertheless, with zero warning, altering no obvious iCloud settings, yesterday I realized I was not getting any emails delivered to my account@icloud.com address! For several fricking months... I did make my @icloud.com address primary over @me and @mac, long time ago, driven by advice in iCloud.com's UI hints and in Apple's KBs, presumably making the older addresses aliases!

     

    Unaware that this has been an issue earlier, very-very apple-loving at the time, feeling confident, as usual: "If anyone, I can trust Mother Apple to not let me down with such thing an essential thing as e-mail...", I set my @icloud address as target for several important service notifications... Why wouldn't I, given it was the only email service that supported PUSH, for quite a while. I even used it as a reliable "master" address for a couple services, which I'm now struggling to access.

     

    My trusty and caring Apple has knifed me in the back, three times in a row, one after another:

     

    1. I hate my 16GB iPhone 6 Plus. "I'm a bit short on budget atm, and Apple can't possibly make an iPhone I won't love, right?" This is the most annoying, irritating and unusable device I've owned for many years. I've come to feel rage, fury, every time I see the "low on space" dialog. This very closely reminds me of a Windows 6 Samsung "smartphone" I had. The one that made me give up the windows world and buy my first iPhone: having learned by heart six hundred places with configuration options, having tried all possible combinations — I was never able to connect to Wi-Fi, a game-changer I purchased it for. Then also, ~5 minutes to show contacts, ~3 for recent calls + ~4 to parse known numbers, ~7 minutes to launch messages, and 95% of calls missed because, you know... 30 seconds — 2 minutes to render the "Incoming call!" dialog with two buttons. Apple, you should have never made the 16GB iPhone 6.

     

    2. OS X Server 5 app has been a complete disappointment, one of the biggest wastes of $19 for software. Nothing like the good-old-times mac servers, this one is crippled and buggy, failing for stupidest reasons, right after perfectly clean fresh installs of OS X + Server App and nothing else.

     

    3. I hardly recover from the server app shock, only to learn that my primary iCloud email address has been silently f****d for months, and then online support tells me to instead talk to support at developers.apple.com, which I have been unfortunate to access with my iCloud ID. I can almost physically sense the rant, rage, and rivers of anger that would have been unleashed at Gmail, had it malfunctioned like this for just a couple of hours. I am **** sure it would've been followed by thousands excuses from Google, and measures to never ever let happen again. On the other hand, after 4 years, Apple has even acknowledged it?! No KB? Anything? I really feel these are the last bits.
