@Carolyn,

Thanks for posting that, but it's not the issue the OP is having because it's the same problem I'm having too.

When sending an email from an iCloud (i.e. me.com) email address whether from Mac Mail or Mail on iOS5, it shows in the "Sent" folder that the message has been sent, yet the recipient never gets it. I have tried this several times by sending a message to one of my alternate email addresses, but to no avail.

I am having this problem too. Any ideas?

Same here. The emails do arrive if you send them from the iCloud website, but not from the Mac or the iPhone. I spent hours with apple support today and the emails do arrive if the recipient has a me.com or apple.com address. No other emails are received if they are sent from the Mac or iPhone. Apple support was just as confused as me. No answer yet.

I just confirmed that's what's happening with mine as well. I sent some from iCloud.com and it worked fine but not from iPhone or Mac.

I've been hearing that Siri and iMessage have also been having issues (nothing official - just word of mouth and similar discussions like this.) I wouldn't be surprised, though, as I imagine all these new services are putting quite the strain on the Apple servers.

I have also been having issues over the last couple of days which I assume are related. When using Mail on Mac or iPhone I intermittently receive errors that my password is incorrect.

I am in the same boat as well. I got through to Apple support and they told me it was an issue with the servers. They mentioned that iCloud is in Beta and that the server issue would be resolved soon.

Still, for the Macs, you can add another SMTP for icloud p04-smtp.mail.me.com and it will send. I still haven't found a solution for iPad or iPhone.

Mine just started working. I got a flood of test emails I had sent to my other email addresses from my me.com address - 2 days late, better than never, I suppose.

I would guess that the sending & receiving failures (i.e. having to log in at times and it still doesn't accept password) are related. Encouraging to see at least they're making progress.

I am starting to see test messages that I sent days ago arrive now. Though one I just sent has yet to come through. We'll see what happens.
