Mail keeps asking for iCloud password ( iOS 5)

I'm having the same problem. Mail says the server is rejecting password even though the password works fine for other Apple services.

I have the same problem here having worked OK, it now claims that the iCloud Server needs on my iMac. Ipad and iPhone not being updated either.

This needs sorting out as it appears to be a problem at the Server not with individual users.

Within 2 minutes of posting this the problem, disaapeared. All seems to be working again!! with no further action by me.🙂

No luck here. Same headache – more than 10 days now, and counting.

Just started happening to me on Mail on Mac OS X, but works on iPhone

Reset and change your password on https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and it will be fixed.

Some accounts has that issue after the iCloud migration only for Mail.

It works !

No, it doesn't.

Just stopped working for me today, tried resetting password, but to no avail....

Really peeved.....!!!!

Same problem as everyone else and super peeved too! :-(

I've watched and when I enter the password on an iOS 5 device, it shows the three checkmarks to accept my apple ID and password but then I still get the prompt within minutes that the password is incorrect. Getting it on my iMac and Macbook too (and the iCloud mail isn't active.)

I have a mac.com apple ID/iCloud ID - not using the me.com -

suggestions?

Thx -

For me it works after resetting my password on https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/

But you must choose Reset your password and choose a new password and NOT manage your account.

You'll keep in sync you password and the iCloud email servers.

Since I've done that, I haven't any trouble.🙂

Sorry for my poor english.

After 3 days of icloud mail not working, talked to an Apple Support Tech, basically, we went to the Apple ID Page

https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/

went thru the "find out" If you got an Apple ID, once the details were entered, We reset the password from here, and then verified once the email was received,

Then on the iphone went to settings>store>Apple ID, then Sign Out

Once signed Out, We then signed back in with the new Password & hey presto now have icloud Mail back again, via iphone & also on the Web, very strange indeed,

Hope this helps someone else....

Trust me, It will mess up again...I've changed mine twice..

Never really had problems with mail, but my wife does.

Now that all is ironed out for us, we're getting tons of junk-mail on our accounts! It was worth the sweat, huh?

The level of encryption of iCloud mail must be very low!

Mail encryption is done at the sender end, not the mail server. If you aren't encrypting your mail at your end, it's not encrypted. The email headers are not encrypted.

If you're getting spam, it's because the people/businesses you corresespond with or give your address to are selling it to spammers, or your're posting it in unsecured locations.

None of this is is working for me... Any other suggestion or update on that topic ?
