I already have iCloud set up with 10.7 but can't receive email
I already have iCloud set up with 10.7 but can't receive email. Suggestions?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
You have a .me /.mac address?

it's a me.com account
Sign out of icloud (System Preferences) reboot and sign back in.
I receive my email if I'm actually in iCloud but my group email (gmail, comcast. and me.com) only gmail mail comes in. For the last year I've received all mail for all accounts.
Did you sign out and then back in to iCloud?
yes and I can still only receive mail from one of the three accounts.
Comcast and GMail are not iCloud accounts, you only have one of them (iCloud), open mail>preferences>accounts and tell me the server address in use for your .me account
If you want to have your Gmail account be available by all of your iCloud devices have it forwarded to your iCloud mail account. That would achieve what you want in a roundabout way. Of course any replys to them would come from your iCloud account unless you switched to your Gmail account in Mail and replied.

That is (or was) a Mobile Me server, now closed down. The correct servers are
imap.mail.me.com and smtp.mail.me.com (outgoing), but this should have been set automatically, did you completely sign out of iCloud (System Preferences>iCloud and is Mail activated in Mail, Contacts and Calendars as well as iCloud?
If you are still signed in at System Preferences>Mobile Me, sign out.
I'm back on track, thanks much for your help 🙂
