I am using Mail v12.0 running on Mojave. I am having problems sending emails – not totally, sporadically. I keep getting an error saying that mail can not be sent using p58-smtp.mail.me.com. I can not edit the SMTP server list - there is nothing listed to edit and I can not add any SMTP servers.
Any assistance will be appreciated.
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
Apple's System Status page currently says the following:
iCloud Mail - Resolved Issue
Yesterday, 3:30 PM - 7:37 PM
Despite this, I was still having problems sending, probably because I monkeyed with the outgoing server settings yesterday when it refused to send.
However, I figured out how to undo all that:
1. I pulled everything out of my Apple Mail client's Inbox and saved it On My Mac.
2. I went into my Apple Mail client preferences/accounts/ and made sure the iCloud email account was highlighted in the menu list on the left side of that preferences window, then, I selected the "Server Settings" tab and changed the pulldown menu for the outgoing server to "none."
3. Still in the Apple Mail client preferences window for the iCloud account, I selected the "Account Information" tab and removed the checkmark beside "enable this account."
4. I quit out of the Apple Mail client.
4. I opened System Preferences/iCloud intending to remove the checkmark beside "Mail" but found that it was already unchecked (because, in Step 3, I disabled the account in the Mail client preferences).
5. I rechecked the box beside "Mail" in System Preferences/iCloud, waited a moment, then closed out of System Preferences.
6. I reopened the Apple Mail client and was able to send email using my BLAH[at]mac[dot]com email account.
It's likely that some of those steps were unnecessary, but as I am not savvy enough to know which, I've listed everything I did here in the hope it might help others with the same problem.
be nice if they 'fessed up and posted it vs. letting it get spread via word-of-mouth.
Same problem server p37
Some times seems to work, sometime no.
This has got far worse overnight. I cannot send @icloud or @me emails from my Mac or iPad.
Having same problem. Here is error message received:
Email sends find from iCloud.com web client.
However.. when I logged into iCloud to look at mail there, and it said Apple ID Updated Successfully
When I log into to manage my Apple ID, it says Apple ID Updated Successfully
So maybe apple is having Apple ID issues, or messing with it. Or maybe trying to merge apple ids. Which affects email using same addresses?
Note I'm one of those users who have 2 different apple ids... which share the same email address.
name" (from original account, used for iTunes) and "name@mac.com" for iPhone and Macs (as you must have an email for those two).
While you can convert 'name' into an email apple id... you can use the email apple id "name@mac.com" because it's already in use!
Apple can't merge the two IDs, especially because they use the same email address. And I'm not giving up all my email, or all my purchases, by deleting one or the other. As Apple said years ago as a solution.
Exactly the same problem - and have had so for a week
So far spent 2.5 hrs on a web chat and 2 hrs on the phone to Apple Help Desk
They have no idea what the issue is
Have the exact same issue. Cannot send mail on iMac (10.10.5) or on MacBook Air (10.14.1). Started having problem on 11.28.18
My me.com account allows me to send but not receive emails. I am using Mail v12.2 running on Mojave. Any assistance will be appreciated.
I'm still having no luck as of 11:30 am EST
Web mail works, but Apple Mail on my Mac will not send via iCloud server.
Other mail accounts work.
Outgoing from iOS works.
The sender address {myemail}@icloud.com was rejected by the server p60-smtp.mail.me.com.
The server response was: Authentication required prior to MAIL/SAML/SEND/SOML
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
Every time Apple updates their OS, I get some kind of problem like this.
Standard comment from tech support, "Update your system software."
But this is simply not an option when I'm in the middle of a busy work week.
