I recieve emails with no issues; however, I cannot send email when I log into webmail at iCloud.com (with or without attachments). I can send email from my iPhone, iPad, and using the Mail app on my iMac, but not when logged directly into my iCloud account through Safari. What gives? 😕
Mac OS X (10.7.4), Safari Version 5.1.7 (7534.57.2)
I just started getting this today. I was able to send email a few hours ago and now I keep getting this on at least two different machines.
I've reinstalled Java
I've reset Safari
I've tried Chrome.
But I keep getting the same Message.
Honestly, this is the most disappointing experiences I've ever had with Apple. I rely on this for work and I'm currently bogged down and halted in a waiting pattern because iCloud "cannot send message at this time".
In a word, pathetic.
If by monday this hasn't resolved itself, I'm switching to Gmail and not looking back.
I had the same problem. I'm using Chrome. I tried my IE and it worked with no issues on the same computer. So I figured it was something to do with Chrome. I logged out, cleared my browser history, logged back in and it worked with no issues. In the browser history purge, I took the default settings to purge. Hope that helps.
I am having this same problem with increasing frequency. I'm using Safari on an iMac to access my mail when this happens. Latest versions of everything.
Generally, logging out of iCloud and logging right back in will fix the problem. That doesn't make it any less of an inconvenience or less irritating. I'd say close to 100% of my first tries to send emails end with this error message. It also, in this mode, cannot save drafts, so I have to select-all and copy the lengthy email replies I've written and paste them into a text document for later retrieval once I'm able to successfully get an email out.
Sometimes it takes multiple tries logging in and out of iCloud before I can send anything.
I'm having the problem now on IE and Chrome. Same solution for both - logout, close icloud window, delete history - fixed. At first I experienced this on Chrome only, but that's because I was only using Chrome for icloud. Now that IE works with icloud - I'm having the same issue on IE. Tried using "incognito" feature of Chrome so no history was kept - thinking that would resolve the issue, but for some reason, "incognito" is not working now with Chrome.
HI,
I just faced this problem after "VIP" some person that i known and i started cannot send e-mail to them....."Cannot send message at this time" always happen....
And the solution is very simple....UN- VIP those people and i can send e-mail to them again.
it's getting ridiculous at this point.
I'm running the latest OS with all the updates installed from safari. fresh account. can't send any emails!
That is a big negative. I have resorted to using Mail to send mail from my iMac. I just checked again today, and no beuno.
Could either of you give the rest of us a hint about what goes wrong when you try?
It has to be on their end i.e. something wrong with the webmail interface. I will check my java when I get home to make sure everything is up to date.
does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
if so, try creating an alias in lowercase and see if email sends okay from that
Mine are all lowercase and some numbers.
Those of you who are having the problem need to be raising the issue with Apple support. I'm not having the problem myself, but I don't using icloud.com webmail much, as I said.
I ran into this issue today when I went to change my .me to .icloud. Has anyone puzzled this problem out?
Yup same here. All works other than web version of icloud.com
Cannot send message: This message cannot be sent at this time (iCloud webmail)
