Q: Can't send iCloud.com email
Something has happened in the last week that has stopped Mail (on Mac and iOS) sending emailaddress@icloud.com emails.
- My other IMAP/SMTP accounts are working fine.
- Connection Doctor is all green, including iCloud SMTP
- iCloud Web mail sends OK
A specific issue is that my iCloud email address doesn't appear as an option in the From: drop down in the mail message editor. I only see my other email accounts.
So the message fails to send and sits in my Outbox. Then I get the "Cannot send message using the server..." dialog saying iCloud failed to send using one of my other email account's SMTP servers. If I select iCloud and try to send again it just sits in my Outbox. I can't decide if this is a client issue or something has changed in my iCloud account.
I have checked the iCloud SMTP settings and added my iCloud user name (Apple ID) and password. The only other issue is the email address it is trying to send from is the same email address that I use as my Apple ID.
Any suggestions?
