having problems receiving mail via iCloud.
I cannot revise the setting in Mail for mail from the incoming server
the "box" is jammed and wont let me alter the details.
reluctant to delete the icloud mail box and start again if it's going to delete everything I have already
Any suggestions?
Thanks
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
The box is locked to stop you tampering with it: you shouldn't need to set Mail up manually.
Go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign out. Then sign back in again. This should set Mail up properly. Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in.
The box has never been locked before and now displays a different name to that suggested by Apple for iCloud.
There is obviosly something going on at iCloud as there seem to be large numbers of iCloud users having the same problem....
Works OK with the iphone but not the Macbook !!
My icloud account on my macbook has stuck with the wrong info for incoming mail and I cannot change the info. Somehow the "box" is locked. Any suggestions ?
