Mail Error: Reason: Error in sieve filter

Hello,


Yesterday I started to receive this strange email error for every message that I send from one of my iCloud accounts (all others seem to be functioning fine). Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? I have done a search and nothing really comes up. I think the system is suggesting that the @me.com account is not valid, but it clearly is.


Many thanks!

Nuh - thats it for me. Turning off my GMail forwarder and ditching iCloud. Started off as a mac.com paid member about ten years ago and enough is enough. Sending and receiving email is a fundamental requirement these days. One can only wonder why Apple choose Oracle as their back end mail provider - this is insane. It's email for crying out loud !!

I have deleted all email accounts (me.com and gmail) from iMac, Ipad and iPhone.

I then set up the me.com email account on all three devices.

Nothing changed - still get an email followed by another email from


postmaster@mac.com

If Apple goes on like this, I will go and get a nice large Android Phone !

My Wife and I both have an Ipad and an iPhone, I use an iMac and my wife a MacBook Pro.


I have this problem with all my devices.

My wife has NOT got this problem.


We both use a ...@me.com email acount.


Just compared the settings:


For "Incoming server" I have p03-imap.mail.me.com

My Wife has p02-imap.mail.me.com .... and has not got this problem.


------


I have setup a new rule for incoming mails (for the meantime):

move all incoming emails from postmaster@mac.com to trash and delete it.


Works fine for now,......until APPLE deals with the problem.

Same issue here.


I also enjoy that you can go to Apple's support site, click "iCloud", click "Topic not listed" and all the solutions presented require you to enter a serial number. Is there a serial number for iCloud support? haha. I liked the service better when I paid for it... at least then I could legitimately complain.
