Apple Says iCloud Mail is Experiencing an Outage [Resolved]

[MacRumors]

iCloud Mail has been experiencing an outage that began a few hours ago, and some users may be experiencing intermittent issues with accessing their inbox as a result, according to Apple's system status page.

Only some users are affected by the outage, according to Apple, so your mileage may vary. We'll update this story once the issue is marked as resolved.

There was also an iCloud Keychain outage over the weekend that is now resolved.

Update: Apple says the iCloud Mail outage is resolved.

Apple has issued a follow up statement that they are confident that both emails sent during the outage will eventually go through.

Not only now. I have this issue since Friday. Over the last days I had several issues. iCloud says „Account Error“ and ist not updating. Even on Friday I could not acces my inbox for a whole day. Come on Apple this is 2021 and not 2000. As long as I can remember there wasn’t a single outage in Gmail.

I'll tell Apple how to fix it for 50 millions dollars

Good to know. Thanks.

Currently, I can't even get mails and the sender receives a
"Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender"

I read that headline as "Apple Says iCloud Mail is Experiencing an Outrage"
Given the way of the world, I half believed it to be true.

Have had the same problem as Cookiemonster. It's been acting up since Friday with the same Account Error alert.

Haha, I always think the same thing. And I'm sure someone out there is outraged.

My iCloud email has been playing up, on and off for a few days, very slow, including the odd account error message.

You were saying?

Gmail suffers another outage

Google suffered its second outage in as many days, with its email service Gmail going down on Tuesday for more than two hours.

Not good enough. Their systems clearly are not robust enough.

Maybe not. But if you find an email service that never goes down I'd like a link to that unicorn.

Good thing I'm still using my .Mac account.

I think it may be dedicated to your account. I use Apple Mail every single day to run my business and haven't experienced anything that you mentioned.

Just wondered why I hadn’t received any email in a few hours.

 

[xraydoc]

My account is still working. Sent and received a bunch of emails this morning before I read this article.

I get sometimes the error below when sending from work. But at the same time I also received some emails on that address from other people. Weird.

This is the mail delivery agent at Symantec Email Security.cloud.

I was unable to deliver your message to the following addresses:

XXXXXX@XXXXX

Reason: 550 5.1.1 <XXXXXX@XXXXX>: user lookup success but no user record found
