Mail not working

Question

Mail not working

I have just migrated my MobileMe account to iCloud on my home Macs and iPhone..

However my work Mac is still on Snow Leopard and till now I have been using it for my MMe email

but now my MMe mail account will not connect... I get the error:

"There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “PETE Whitaker” or try again.

The server returned the error: Moved: http://me.com/move"

Do I have to change something in the MMe account server settings?

On the work Mac it is still a MMe type of mail account but on the other Macs it is just called iCloud.

Do I have to re-enter the account as an iCloud account?

I hope it is still possible to access this account on my work Mac??

thanks

Likewise any hints about updating iCal server info to work on SL Mac?

What I mean is the local application which automatically syncs online.

thanks

Thanks for the link but I didn't understand this part:

...I was able to determine this value by sending an invite to another one of my other email accounts and clicking the 'Accept' button. This will open the reply in a web browser.

No idea what this means or how to do this

It's not the end of the world - I can always log on to my iCal online

thanks

He is telling you where to find the calendars address.

Log into your icloud account using a web browser at icloud.com. You should see 5 icons (Mail, Contacts, Calendars... if not then in the upper left you should see the icloud icon, click it and it will take you to the icloud home screen. Click the Calendar icon.

The left side of the screen will have the icloud icon and list your Calendars below that. A little to the right under edit will be a circle with radiating lines in it. Click on the cirlcle and you will get the "Share Calendar" pop out. You will want the "Private Calendar" so you can edit the calendar. Enter an e-mail address for the invite to be sent to.

You will receive an invite e-mail with an accept link. Clicking the accepte link will open the calendar in a web page. The URL will be server path that is talked about in the hint.

I follow the instructions but when I recieve the email there is only a button marked JOIN CALENDAR not Accept.

If I click this I get the error: "you can't join a calendar you are sharing"

If I right click on the JOIN CALENDAR button and select 'copy link'

this is the link:

https://www.icloud.com/calendar/share/#st=e&i=jL8h-2OTzfzzB4us1H-fkzvKxFgfUsqSV0 JIFvgevme7118XUjSw5Fgb64_9lzj7

I can't see a p value as mentioned in the instructions

Are you using your me.com e-mail as the e-mail to send the invite to? If so try using another e-mail address. If not are you logging out of icloud before you click the link?
