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?
I already told the apple guy about the rest of the people in this discussion with exactly the same problem. I'll report back with everything he tells me. Pam
Excellent, thank you, Pam!
Lame. I'm going to dump icloud if this is what they do. I don't send any mail through icloud. It is either forwarded from gmail or sent through gmails servers. The only reason I have icloud is for push on my iOS devices.
OK.
Weak point is Apple - see MobileMe
MobileMe was a flawed product. Apple acknowledged that and moved on from it. iCloud has been far superior to it, and as a long time user, fairly stable. I think that's an emotional statement not based on fact. Every company has its hiccups. Google knows very well about this.

You are free to believe whatever you choose to.
The senior apple mail tech really tried to find the problem. He sent the a ticket to the engineering department to find out why my email account is showing that I sent so many emails (1000+), but he's not sure that that number he's seeing is the actual problem. I'm just going to have to wait until I get an answer from engineering. In the meantime, I checked google mail forums and noted that others have the problem too. It's always the same scenario: problems sending from gmail to iCloud. Interesting to note that it's only a problem for me if I try to send to my own iCloud account. I can send mail to other iCloud accounts. Pam

You will see a lot of other people having this same problem.

FWIW, the same thing is happening to me -- can't get email from my wife, who uses Gmail. She thought I was just ignoring her, but a couple days later she started getting the "Delivery to the following recipient has been delayed" emails. Tried sending myself a message via Gmail earlier today and it hasn't come through yet, either.
A couple weeks ago I got a few delivery failure messages for emails I definitely didn't send -- someone spammed others using my email address (account wasn't compromised, just used my address as the From) and I wonder if it's connected....
Could be connected. Something odd is definitely going on. Pam
Having the exact same issue. Emails from gmail to @me are delayed 12+ hours ... just starting to receive them now.
In my case I do think it's time warner. I have sent them an email and a case has been opened.

check out your ISP

What does ISP have to do with third party email? I have the same problem regardless of the originating connection.
What makes you think that?
Gmail emails are delayed or not sending to iCloud
