iPod touch stopped receiving email from iCloud (IMAP) - help? - LaserKun - 03-12-2012
As of last Friday my iPod touch stopped receiving emails from my iCloud (MobileMe) account. I changed over from MobileMe to iCloud (IMAP) on this Mac and my iPod touch when iCloud first came out, and nary a problem until Friday. I even tried deleting the account from my iPod and then adding it back again, using the same settings as my Mac has - no luck. I have two iPod touches, and same thing on both of them! Anybody else having these problems? I'll keep researching online to see what I can find.

how is iCloud = IMAP?

I don't know... thought it was. Regardless, it is not working on me iPods.

Verify your client settings.
There are mixed reports of iCloud acting wonky for people who have transitioned, pertaining to passwords and legacy addresses.
Even if the settings are correct, I wouldn't discount another issue on their end.

"SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud."

I have been on .Mac/MobileMe/iCloud and way back, was it iTools (?), I forgot, anyway, this problem started last Friday, March 9th, and is a first for me. On both iPod touches, it began Friday. Strange, since I have never had a problem with email in all these years... Still working on it.
Success!! For some reason, I had to delete the account, start over again, and instead of using xxx@me.com, I had to use xxx@mac.com as my ID and email address; I had not changed anything. Weird - it was on xxx@me.com, and would not receive/send emails. One iPod touch down, one more to reset.
