Apple's iCloud blocking Gmail, other email?
Apple's iCloud has suddenly begun blocking a lot of my incoming email. Increasingly, we're not able to receive email I send from my Gmail account to my iCloud account or to my wife’s iCloud account.
At other times, my Gmail messages to our Cloud accounts are delayed for hours, even days. Gmail automatically sends status reports documenting how iCloud is refusing to accept the incoming emails and showing GMail’s repeated attempts to deliver them; iCloud gives no notice that it’s refusing delivery.
Another twist: now I’m also no longer able to receive subscribed email updates from a real estate listings website that used to be delivered to my iCloud email account. Those blocked emails don’t go into the junk folder —they’re blocked from delivery entirely. Again, iCloud gives me no indication it’s blocking my incoming email.
Meanwhile, actual spam is actually still getting through via iCloud — sometimes delivered in the junk folder, sometimes in the inbox.
Is there any indication how many Apple iCloud customers are missing emails because of this?
This isn’t the first time this issue has come up — I’d complained about similar problems years ago. I thought they’d been corrected, but clearly they have not.
Any thoughts about how to fix this problem?
