ICloud :: Unable To Change Incoming Mail Server Reference?
Jul 3, 2012
I have moved my accounts to iCloud and continue to use Apple Mail; incoming mail does not download and in the preferences the incoming mail server is grayed out and will not allow me to change it. I followed the directions to remove the account and manually re-enter it, but still the same problem.
Everytime I open mail (v.5.2) on my Mac (OSX 10.7.3) I am prompted that the "iCloud has rejected the password for p01-imap.mail.me.com." The incoming mail server is set at p01-imap.mail.me.com....and I can't change it, it's greyed out in Preferences - Account Information. Further, each time I put in the password, I click "remember in my keychain" and, well, it doesn't because I have to re-enter it every day.

I'm trying to correct a problem with my wife's iCloud email account. I cannot change the 'Incoming Mail Server' name in the 'Account Information panel. If I delete the account and start a new one, I can enter the correct name ... "imap.mail.me.com". However, once I click on create, the Incoming Mail Server name reverts to 'mail.example.com.
Upgraded hosting plans and have to change my mail server address. I can change my SMTP server but Mail won't allow me to change the incoming mail server. It's greyed out. If I try to delete the account, it says the account is shared with other programs and must be removed in Internet Accounts control panel but it's not listed there to be removed or changed.
How do I rename my Incoming Mail server (Mail version 4.5, Snow Leopard) so that it points to iCloud. It is grayed out and when I click on 'edit email aliases' in the mail preference account information, it sends me to Mobile Me login. Outgoing server lets me make the changes.
This has happened before. All is well, then one day iCloud Mail decides it won't work and the "exclaimation point" error appears next to that account in mail.
Trying to re-enter the account information is futile as the incoming mail server is grayed out, only displaying "mail.example.com" which the user cannot change.
Tried deleting the account and re-adding, but it just adds a new, blank account which cannot be modified. At that point, my iCloud mail account is entirely gone from the computer and apparently can not be recovered.
I had a Mobileme account and have changed over to iCloud. In the last three days when receiving mail my accounts have gone offline on two different computers. I can still access them by signing into iCloud, but not from the mail application. I went to accounts and the "incoming mail server" is blank. I have tried creating a new account with "imap.mail.me.com" , but it still did not connect. Has something changed at iCloud?
I upgraded my iMac to Lion recently. Currently running OSX 10.7.3.
I suddenly am unable to have my .Mac email delivered to the Mail application on my iMac, yet my .Mac emails are delivered to my iPhone without any issues and I can also access them via logging-in to my iCloud account using an internet browser.My Mail account pane is as follows. Note that the Incoming Mail server is dimmed-out and I am unable to enter any text into it.
My incoming mail server has changed to gray. Why? I cannot access it and I'm not getting my mail. It now has a "p02" in front of the imap. How do I edit this so I can get my mail on my MacBook again? Mail is coming through my iPhone only.
When I try to change the settings for my Mail app, in Snow Leopard, the incoming mail settings are greyed out. What do I do to be able to change these?
(I had a problem, with my Mail account, which a consultant fixed for me on my laptop. But I cannot remember what he did to access the incoming mail server preferences, and make the changes, because on my desktop these are still greyed out.)

I have just bought a Mac Mini for my daughter.I have set up an aliase email address for her as part of my iCloud account.how do I set up her Mail application on the macmini so it only shows the incoming and outgoing email from her alias address ie without showing the my main email account traffic??i don't want her deleting stuff of my account....
I am losing random incoming emails in my .mac email address. I first discovered it last week when my wife was getting emails that I was copied on that I never got. Checked inbox, trash, junk, iCloud and never could find them. Then today, just by chance, I had to verify a link via that email address. When the verification is sent, I see it hit the inbox with the new email counter and then it immediately disappears. I have disabled all my Apple Mail rules and Smart Mailboxes. As I mentioned, I have checked everywhere I could think of that it might be going.

I am migrating my mail and archive folders from Mail to iCloud. I moved 20+ folders and over 8k messages with no problem by dragging and dropping the folder from 'On my mac' section to 'iCloud' section in Mail. The last two folders were the largest with over 1.5k in each folder. Over 1200 of the messages in each went in to iCloud without a hitch. Then I got this error:
The IMAP command “APPEND” (to [mail box name]) failed with server error: Message contains NUL characters.
There are 149 messages left in one folder and 203 in another folder. Try as I might, it will not work. I tried Rebuild mailbox option in menu and exported to Mail and mbox format and then re-importing. Still does not work.
I have just installed 10.4.9 Server on a Mac Mini, I am no expert but I got most of the services running using a book on setting up server.
The problem I have is everyone on the local network can send and recieve mail no problem using IMAP or POP3 accounts and even Webmail works offsite,
But when someone is offsite like at home, they cannot authenticate and connect to the server to send mail, we use Apple mail but have even tried Thunderbird and Outlook on a PC. None will connect.
Currently we are using CRAM-MD5 for mail authentication.
I get "timed out" and "connection refused" when trying to get mail with T-bird 12.0.1.Server Settings:Server Type: IMAP Mail ServerServer Name: imap.mail.me.comPort: 993Username: (my iCloud email address)Connecion security: SSL/TLSAuthentication method: Normal passwordiOS: 10.7.4 (Lion)Mail works fine with browser and iPad.

I have had to change my id repeatedly. Maybe it is because the computer is registered under my husband's name?
It keeps rejecting the id and password. It becomes a stalemate for me in shifting to icloud, ordering from itunes, etc. I have to keep an ongoing record of changes and still get stopped in my tracks over and over.
I'm sat here with my brand-spanking-new Air and it's feeling a bit alien. But I have a problem with my Apple ID. I can't change it. I have tried changing to a work email address and a .me address without success. What to do?
I bought a domain through Google a few years ago, the host was Enom until last month when I decided to switch to UK2 and had to export my email before switching servers.
I ended up having a large .mbox file. After the switch I uploaded the file on mail and I found that all the emails saved in subfolders were missing (see image). It goes without saying those were the most important emails.
Is there a way to recover the emails in the subfolder?
I use Mail 7.2 (1874) on Mavericks OS X 10.9.2

I can't add a new outgoing smtp server in Mail preferences. I keep getting this message: "The servers marked with alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved. Two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings. Resolve the conflicts and try again." The incoming and outgoing server addresses for this ISP are the same, which may be the problem. Both are mail.myglnc.com.
