iCloud Mail not working

[tguilliams]

Whenever I attempt to log in to my email through the iCloud.com website, I get an error that says "To use iCloud Mail, create an @me.com email address by turning on Mail in your iCloud settings using iOS or OS X." I am also unable to access it through my iPhone 4 running the iOS 5 GM.

I've got the email set up prior to this and it was working properly. Any idea what would be causing this?

Thanks!

Probably because it launches on the 12th

 

[tguilliams]

I would assume that too except for the fact that I'm sitting a few feet away from someone who is able to log in and access the mail just fine.

It causes a springboard crash if I try to launch it so I dunno. Don't work in that department.

Same problem here!

my iCloud just says 'starting' and the pinwheel keeps going when i try to check the box for mail & notes....help!

It's working now (for previously suspended/expired mobileme accounts)

I am still having this problem.

Me too, I have iCloud mail working on phone and macbook, but when trying to use it via the web portal I get the same error. Anyone know how to resolve this?

Same issue here. Works fine on iPhone and Mac, but the web portal returns the error that an @me address must be set up. I migrated from MobileMe.

Same problem here. I wonder if it is because I use the .mac email address instead of the .me. I've tried switching but I still get the same error.

 

[ilogic]

Getting the same problem here, so what now?

Anyone spoken with Apple Support on this? I was going to, but just imagine the wait right now to speak to someone is going to be long!

I don't think anyone needs to tell Apple Support that they've underestimated demand again.

 

[thebruge]

It seems icloud mail is down now anyway, guess they are having a lot of issues with the demand.

Sames issue for me today

 

[thebruge]

Anyone get any further with this, my iCloud mail is back online via iPhone, but web portal still shows the same error.

 

[thebruge]

Mine seems to have fixed itself, hope yours have all too

FWIW, I was at my local Apple Store earlier this afternoon (2 p.m. Central) for a Genius appointment on an unrelated issue. The Genius I was working with stated he was still experiencing issues with iCloud email pushing to his devices (MacBook and iOS devices). But, to be his own Devil's Advocate, he also stated that he has met with customers who have not had any issues to date.
