A very strange issue started out of the blue a couple of days ago. I have my gmail account forwarding to my iCloud (me.com). My friend asked me if I got his email the other day, never went through. After some testing I found out that all of a sudden Gmail messages are not being forwarded or sent to my iCloud. Some are even bouncing back. Any idea what the problem might be? Why would it start out of the blue?
Whoa, that is very troubling!
Are you using Time Warner?
My problem also started on March 12, by the way.
Did you check to see if you are black listed?
Yes, just finished it. No problems. I don't think this is the issue.
This looks like an Apple problem judging by the delivery delay message I received.
I have been having the same issue.
I am leaning this way too. Hopefully, as someone said, they will come back stronger after this.

Exactly what I had.
APple have a support email or just a phone number? I couldn't find anything but the phone number for their device support.
I am having the same problem. Emails from my Gmail account to different me.com id's are delayed.
I'm making progress with this problem. I called apple again and spoke to a senior mail advisor. Somehow my mac mail account is tagged with having sent over 1000 messages in one day. I probably send about 20-30 emails a day, so something wrong. The apple guy is going to call me back within the hour after he investigates the problem. See the article below for information about limits. More when I hear back from him. --Pam

Strange. I don't even come close to that! When you talk to them, can you ask if this is something they are working on fixing for everyone? If this is the cause, that is...
Gmail emails are delayed or not sending to iCloud
