Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
It seems I cannot access the mailbox of icloud from any device.
I set up iCloud on both my iPad and iPhone, and everything works except mail, which keeps telling me "wrong password for iCloud" but the password is right.
On the icloud website I can log in, see contacts and all, but when I open e-mail, it keeps loading and then tells me it crashed.
Help!
iPad 2, Other OS, iOs 5.0
HELP - apple techies - please post something letting us know that you are working on this! I need my email!!!
icloud mail is no go on ALL of my devices that I use to access it...
I can access my account through the web browser and see my calendars and contacts but as soon as I try to access mail I get errors...
Not taking credit, found in different thread, but it saved me (allowed me to get a important email I was waiting for)
In the desktop Mail client, I setup a 2nd account using my iCloud username/password.
It gave me the error everyone is getting, but then went to the next screen. In email type, INSTEAD of picking iCould or MobileMe, I picked the generic IMAP email type
Put in the following....
Incoming
imap.mail.me.com
iCloud username (in my case my @mac.com email)
iCloud Password
Outgoing
smtp.mail.me.com
iCloud username (in my case my @mac.com email)
iCloud Password
This worked for me, download all my email and allowed me to at least see what was in my inbox
Same here and now I'm waiting for email from clients that may or may not be waiting in my inbox.
I am having the same issue with my icloud mail. My password will not work and the default password listed in settings for icloud mail has more characters than my original password. I can not get access to mail from icloud.com either. Hopefully Apple fixes this issue fast, I need my email back!!!
same here on all devices
I have the same problem it was all working till about 5 Mins ago. This upgrade has been so frustrating
Thank God we don't have that lousy MobileMe any longer. Oh, wait we have iCloud... a new lousy Apple service. Transferred to iCloud this morning and all worked fine for about an hour (10:00 AM EST). However, now can't access email from any of my iDevices or from iCloud.com. Great. With all due respect (and I mean this) I wish Steve could help from his iCloud.
Same here. All devices as well.
I crossgraded from MobileMe and the iCloud is insisting on changing my @me.com Apple ID to @mac.com. I wonder if that is why the login is confused...
Thankfully, I use Yahoo as my main.
Yes, mail is dead. I cannot access it through web and when I try accessing it on my laptop, it says my password has been rejected. This is a big deal Apple.
Ditto
Transferd long-time MobileMe/dot mac emails yesterday. This morning no ability to either send or receive email from either iPad, iPhone or computer. However, two emails did get pushed to the phone late last night, but not to the iPad or mail on the desktop. Same problem as everyone else: rejected password.
I have exactly the same problem on all of my idevices. It's incredible the service launched yesterday and it's already failing.
I'm having the same problem. 😟
same here. iCloud is not recognizing my password and it is NOT pushing my emails to me.
another issue i'm having is iCloud won't sync my Safari bookmarks to my iOS devices.
Same here. Login/password is incorrect when trying to receive mail on iOS, MacOS and icloud.com. Other data is fine -- contacts, calendars, etc. This is really, really bad. iCloud (previously MobileMe and Mac.com) is my main email account.
The irony...I was just telling a RIM BlackBerry user how reliable email was on my iPhone given RIM's 4-day outage...
Dude - or Dudet - thank you that worked for me too!!! at least I can get the mail.
iCloud Mail not working
