Mac Mail in El Capitan

same problem here , i worked my way around by loggin in on hhttps://www.icloud.com/mail

you will see your mail history and you can your icloud account.

and in preferences forward your mail to a different mail adres . In my case a hotmail or gmail account.

Meanwhile try Mailspring as I have already mentioned above

Meanwhile try Mailspring just works fine in and out. But I still count on coming back to original Mail app on my El Capitan

Same here since this morning. My iCloud mail still works perfect on my iPhone and on third-party app like Mailspring. Only on my Mac Mail app can't receive any iCloud emails but can send them… strange

Hi, I've had pretty much the same problem with not being able to receive mail since yesterday too (30th Aug 21).

The error I get is:-

There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “iCloud” or try again.

The server returned the error: Connections to the server “p61-imap.mail.me.com” on the default ports timed out.

I've just spent almost an hour on the phone with Apple and they can't offer a fix as the computer and OSX version is too old!

Well unfortunately I can't afford a new mac pro right now and am stuck with my 2008 version!

This mac is my main workhorse and I'm gutted. I really need this to work.

I can send iCloud mail, but not receive it. All other non apple mail is coming in just fine, so it's something that has been caused by Apple themselves imho.

same here!! and same error I can sent but can’t receive emails but on my iPhone it works fine so it’s only happening on my 2015 macbook pro running El Captain operating system which i really need to work on, SO APPLE PLZ FIX THIS, good luck to you all.

Same problem on 2 macbooks with Yosemite and El Capitan,

I have also problems with synchronizing Notes with icloud

reminders -work's ok

calendar -ok

APPLE please fix Mail and Notes connection issues!!!

After trying virtually everything, mine came back online today. I had completely removed my email account from the El Capitan Mac Mail client, and re-enabled it this morning to no avail (again!). After leaving it untouched for a few hours, It simply came back online. All I can imagine is that Apple fixed the problem.

Checked on my partners iMac, which is also stuck on El-Capitan - mail problem persists on both of our accounts, so neither of us can receive emails on the Mail app.

Yes, same here. Looks like Apple has shut down our old school mail server.

I can add two more users having this problem. Did Apple make any announcement that this would happen? Has anyone heard from Apple officially about this?
