Is iCloud down?

i'm having same issue. i can connect to icloud but cannot connect to mail....

I am also unable to check my emails. Though I can log in to check my contacts and other stuff on the icloud.com web page.

And this is not the first time that this has happened.

Same thing. I can check everything on iCloud exept mail....

I too, am unable to check my mail.

Don't know why, but everything just started to work.

So i think there is nothing else to do but wait

Cannot access mail from any device IOS or OSX, yet can do webmail in iCloud. However, iCloud Webmail had an error when I first accessed it.

The email servers are currently down, and not accessible. No traceroute nor ping requests are answered at the current time.

All other iCloud services should work as usual. (Address Book, Photostream etc.)

As i can tell from telephonic support, they are working on the problem. Just be patient.

iCloud is not working on any device nor on the web. Is this the ghost of MobileMe? Yikes!

Here's a new wrinkle: Using Safari, I can't get past the iCloud.com log in screen. Using Firefox, I can access everything but iClou Mail.

I've never had an issue with Google! Should I switch from iCloud back to Google?????

Geez, I can't believe we are going through "MobileMe" all over again!! It took almost 2 years for Apple to get that right!! Why go with a new data center and servers???? Why didn't they just ask AMAZON S2 to run

their network and equipment for them? Apple is the "It just works company"... except for MobileMe

or icloud! Learn from the last time... Reality is I only have personal Email on icloud. I learned a long time

ago you can not rely on apple services as much as apple devices.

Even so, I wouid like my personal mail. Looks like I am heading back to my own IMAP server.

Where? Of course I will house it on Amazon's Data center.

I wonder how much technical talent left when Steve passed away?

So tired of this. Worse, NO UPDATES, no Status System. = Poor Service Company.

I didn't pull my invenstments out of Apple as I have done so well. But I don't want to get

greedy, and I think it is time....

I stand corrected! There is a Status!!

"users have been impacted. Users were unable to access icloud mail.

The problem has been resolved". as of 9:59PDT.

Well, that was 20 mins ago, and I still can not authenticate, and

the password is in my keychain!!! I know it isn't wrong....

Great service!!

It is Broken is announced after it is resolved, but not truly resolved.

I still see others unable to get to the servers....

The Apple is not rotten.

Nonetheless I am interested in the idea of having my own server. Is that an expensive or complicated thing to do?

Still down for me.

I'm in Oz and its been down since midday here too, still not back up,

It's hit mail on the imac - and the iOS's I have too.

C'mon Apple thats a pretty long time to be down.

I have been on vacation the past week, got back into the US on Saturday and no mail. iCloud keeps telling me that my username/password are not correct yet I know that they are. Like many have mentioned, I still have Calendar, Contacts and reminders seem to work and are sync'ing. However, with the email competly down for me for it seems the past 3-4 days, this is a jolt to my confidence in the email poriton of iCloud. I'm a left over from the original Mobile Me "out of service email" a couple of years ago. I just cant make my iCloud my go to primary email account.

Now Apple, you have the most money of anyone in Tech and for that matter any corporation in the world. Please fix the email issue with iCloud and try to get some confidence going in this product that is been coined as "the cetner of my digitial life".

Now that I have that off my chest, what do we do from here? I'm not going to change passwords if the issue is just with email.

Thanks for listening.
