Anyone having problems with emails from i cloud today?

This is completely unacceptable. Apple has an SERIOUS issue with mail services around the world and yet reports a pretty green checkmark and "All services are online" on their status page. At least admit there is a problem! Not doing so is like rubbing it in our faces and then covering it up!

Well, I can now get iCloud webmail but not in Mail on my Mac.

Not up and running here in Worcester, UK. I've had to use an alternative account to log in to this forum! WHat on Earth is going on?

Back on in Dayton, Ohio. Still not happy that Apple pretends that the issue was corrected and it really isn't!

I agree with blujackfan. But this is Apple's way, it seems - we'll tell you there's no problem - or that it's fixed - until such a time as the problem has been fixed.

Is it just me, or does Apple stuff work perfectly and easily (Apple-like) until they start upgrading things? Does QA not apply to updates?

Still not working 😠

Problem solved but affected 12% of network...

Down again here in the UK, no 'cloud' email, .me account not working as of 11.45 GMT. Annoying.

I've been out for 48hours. Need my emails as they have implications for legal documents. What's up, apple?

I have the same problem since yesterday.

I can't access my emails neither on my macbookPro nor on my iphone nor on Safari.

even in mail settings I can't change the incoming mail server (dimmed: p02-imap.mail.me.com) and Apple servers keep rejecting my password although its working for other icloud areas.

What to do????!

Same thing in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at least for me, but I can send e-mails through Mail app.

p04-imap.mail.me.com

My email was down for about 30 hours...Came back up slowly about 2 hours agp. All seems fine now, except I have not gotten any of yesterdays mail.

Can't send Mobile Me email from Toronto

Apple, please wake up!

Choosing to not make your OS backwards compatible, costs many of your oldest and best customers much anguish. It not only risks losing those customers and their loyalty, it's also something that you clearly can't handle from a technical point of view.

So please stop acting like Microsoft, or we'll just have to start believing that Microsoft is the new Apple.

Thank you,

;(

You aren't talking to Apple here, this is a user-to-user forum. You say 'Choosing to not make your OS backwards compatible' but as you haven't specified your operating system it's difficult to offer advice. iCloud email, though not the other parts of iCloud, is perfectly compatible at least as far back as Tiger, though you have to set it up manually. When was it last working?

Hi Roger,

I've read several of your posts on this subject. My wife and i teach design at Universities here in Toronto. I in particular use many different kinds of software - currently with Snow Leopard on a 2009 17" Macbook Pro 500GB SSD and 8 GB Ram.

My expectations of Apple when they chose to maintain me.com for email, was that it and mac.com would be available to consumers for the foreseeable future. And instead it's there but seems to be poorly supported.

I have not upgraded to Lion because, as you know, it does not support Rosetta – and I'm not keen to purchase thousands of dollars of new or upgraded software to satisfy Apple's obsession with maintaining a closed software platform.

The last time mobile me was sending and receiving emails was last night. And from other web comments I see that it's quite likely to come back again - however this is unacceptable as a way of computing for professionals.

My comments to Apple will also be forwarded through the proper channels. Who knows - some keen Apple employee may actually read this forum – I would if I worked for Apple.

I'm willing to to install Mountain Lion on an external hard drive, as I've had to do for CS4 and 5.5 - and will now do for CS6 – until it becomes compatible with the rest of my software.

$30 seems a lot to pay for working email - when yesterday it was working for no additional cost.

If you have any suggestions I'd be glad to hear them.

Regards,

Bob

As it was working recently you must presumably have followed the procedure for manually entering the server settings in Mail. It might be worth checking that they match those listed here:

iCloud: Mail Server settings

Both @mac.com and @me.com versions should work: I'm running Snow Leopard and have had no trouble with it except of course for the recent 2-day outage, apart from a very few short sticky periods. There's no need for you to upgrade to Mountain Lion just for email. It's very possible that you've just hit a temorary glitch in the system, in which case there's no point in tampering with anything.
