Mail client and iCloud issues

Thank you for all of your input, everyone. With this thread I was able to set my mail up again after transferring to icloud and seemingly losing everything!

I finally fixed mine. I went to System Preferences>MobileMe>Sign Out. Then when I tried to sign back in it said that it had moved to iCloud (which I did months ago, not sure why I got this message). This opened iCloud where I deleted my account and then added it back. Signed back in using Mail, iCal, Address Book, etc and everything is still there and working. Hope this helps.

Okay - I have tried everything listed here to get my mail client to work again. Changed my password, changed to connection address (imap.mail.me.com), but nothing seems to allow me to get passed the "Incorrect Username or Password" screen on my mobile.

More thoughts?????

Okay - this is so very odd.

Since I was having problems, I read this post over 3 days ago, and changed my password. When I used this password for the past 3 days when attempting to setup my mail client, I still recieved the "invalid username or password" error.

Just for giggles, I changed my password again 10 minutes ago, and tried this "new" password on my mail client. Still didn't work....

So, for even more giggles, I tried my older password (the one I created 3 days ago). Guess what... it works!

Oh my, Apple, what do you have going on there in your world????

P.S. - For my Android phone, I needed to use TLS for security for Outgoing Mail, not SSL. SSL on Incoming Mail works just fine.

I can't get my email via laptop, iPhone, or iPad. This has been happening off and on. Is iCloud mail server out of commission?

Yes - I have contacted support and they said it is down for affecting a small percentage- should be up soon- I hope!!!

Thank you so much!!!!! Problem fixed! headache gone.
