Done all this by the book. Password meets requirement and works when I log in on Icloud. At one occasion i got the message the server is not responding. It also takes quite a long time.. Or is it the mobile that can´t send the correct info in time.
apple mail works on my other units, mac mini and ipod.
I am considering reset my mobile.
If it is a Mobile Me password that you migrated, change it regardless of whether it works on the website.
Password was changed after I cloud. Found out that my ipod also now has got the same f up. This happened a few months ago and lasted for about 8 days. Then it went normal by itself. This must be a server failure at apple.
But anyway I´ll change password and see. Maybe I´ll say goodbye to apple mail if no solution .
On my Android (a Droid 2) I can now only send mail. Receiving stopped working the other day. None of these tips help. The incoming server setting worked if I only used mail.mac.com. None of the variants on imap.mail.mac.com work now. No idea what is going on. Even went to the trouble of changing my password to include a capital letter.
If Apple did something to screw with Android users it won't convince me to get an iPhone.
I don't know if this is the case, but I have read in several places that there have been server problems with .mac and .me emails.
I'm using an iPhone and up until last Thursday I wasn't getting emails pushed to my phone. They were on my Mac but just not to the iPhone.
This has now been sorted out. I'm just wondering if the Android folk will follow soon.
PS Are you using Push notifications? Or asking for emails to be checked at intervals?

mail.mac.com is the wrong server, I don't care if you managed to make it work once upon a time. Use these settings and don't change anything. (Except for email address, username and password).
Didn't work. I have also tried all the p0x- versions I've seen mentioned. Can't wait for this to magically fix itself the way some users have suggested it would. On my Droid some of the settings have different names and there are more options than these. I have also tried the different options for those. For example my TLS choices are none, always and auto. I also have a verify certificate option.
Infuriating that I can send, but not receive (and I could receive until last week). And that it works on my Mac in Outlook. I can also access everything on the web. I even changed my password to include a capital letter. I wonder how widespread this problem is.
I GAVE UP ! ....ITS APPLE PLAN TO STOP USERS USING ANDROID I THINK ..LOL
SERIOUSLY I GAVE UP ..AND SIMPLY HAD ALL MY MAC MAIL FORWARDED TO MY CORPORATE IMAP ACCOUNT AND IT WORKS FINE ..NOT THE PERFECT SOLUTION .
I have had the similar problem after moving to I cloud. Then I did not have an android it hit my apple Ipod. I have xperia neo. I am convinced that this is an apple server **** up. But it only happends now and then and for android users. Because it happened just like that with no warning. It hit me as you can see earlier but is now sorted out.
First I deleted my appleaccount on my android. Then when wrote my old settings and tried to install the apple server answered wrong username or pasword. It was impossible to connect.
Then I decided to
change my I cloud password on my computer. mac mini
And on my computer the settings now looks like this
mailadress name@me.com
Server incoming mail, p01-imap.mail.me.com
my username (without me.com)
password xxxxx
Outgoing mail server .Mac(iCloud)
TLS certifikate com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
in tab advanced port 993
authentification , apple-mark
It may be so that the settings on your computer in a way may incompatible with your android.
After that I tried to make a new installation with the settings below. And after a few tries it worked. But it took a long time to get connected. And the phone must first get connected with incoming server. And then when sucessful it is the the outgoing server.
Here are how the settings are on my android.
username name@me.com
password xxxx
imapserver imap.mail.me.com
port 993
security ssl
outgoing server smtp.mail.me.com
port 587
security TSL (acc all certificates)
And the short of the long new password, check settings on computer. delete apple account on the phone and reinstall( I guess you still have all mail on computer). If the phone don´t connect It surelys is an apple server issue. But you will have to try several times and be patient when you see "connecting to server.
good luck
I've had the same problem for about 3 weeks now. Have incoming mail but nothing outgoing. All settings are correct. No explainations either from Apple or Verizon. Pain in the ***.

These are the correct settings, you have omitted one or entered one incorrectly or your password is non-compliant, on an Android phone these settings work so verify everyone of them again.
OK, checking settings again I have matched them up best I can. My Droid has some additional choices, and some different ones. I was trying at a Verizon store today on some other phones and they have different settings from mine. Had connection errors and ran out of time before I could check my connection properly.
Incoming server imap.mail.mac.com (mail.mac.com was working for me before)
Username gewald@mac.com
Password (now includes a capital letter, didn't before)
Advanced Settings
Port 993
Check, Use secure connection
Use secure password (TLS)
Never, Auto, Always (Always selected)
Verify Certificate (check box)
Outgoing mail works fine with above settings.
I'm wondering if this is only happening to the older Android handsets? Or whether it's happenning to the new ones too - such as the Galaxy S3, HTC One X etc?
Interesting question. I'm using a Bionic.
Still no luck, settings are correct.
