iCloud email forwarding broken

Hi all!

Since 12:41 a.m. on 8/1/12 on my macbook air, my .mac email (now in iCloud) is not forwarding to my gmail account. Previous to that I have had no problems and didnt change anything.

I have it/both iCloud and gmail set up as IMAP...I have the iCloud autoforwarding set to my gmail account - and nothing - no messages are forwarded to gmail. That said, if I manually compose an email in iCloud and send to the same gmail account, the sending works fine. (So the gmail account gets it fine when I send them one at a time - but nothing moves to gmail with either a rule set or with autoforwarding.)

Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am not using Apple Mail program and all iCloud messages are set to be kept on the server.

Thanks in advance,

Casey

Fwiw, I just received an @me.com email forwarded to my @gmail.com account, for the first time in I can't remember how long.

Hi all,

I have been struggling with this forwarding issue in a slightly different manner: any messages I try to manually forward from my iPhone just never arrive to the intended recipients. I have tested this on multiple occasions and to multiple e-mail addresses.

Using a .mac account via icloud now, I can "reply", create a new message from my iPhone and it gets right through. Using iCLoud on my Mac deskop, forwarding works just fine (again, using my .mac handle). Would love to hear of any solutions to this issue.

The answer is to use rules, as explained here http://www.scrubly.com/blog/how-to-gmail/how-to-forward-icloud-email-to-gmail/
