I am setting up an iCloud email for my domain name. I receive the email verification (I have turned on forwarding via Namecheap) but when I click “verify” it takes my back to iCloud set up page showing my new domain email with “Pending Verification”. I hit resend, I get another email (at forwarded email address), click on “verify” and nothing....still says “pending”. Can anyone help? What am I doing wrong or not doing? Thanks!!
Hello! Yes, I purchased the domain name from Namecheap, turned on email forwarding setting on the Namecheap account settings. I received the verification email from iCloud, when i click on “verify “ it takes me back to the set up section for domain emails via iCloud. Next to my domain name it continues to state “pending “ no matter how many times I “verify”. I appreciate any help!
Hello Atlflygirl,
Is the domain in question one that you already own? Or is it a new one purchased through the steps listed at How to purchase a new email domain to use with iCloud Mail - Apple Support? This way we know what kind of domain we're working with.
Also, is this for personal use or for business use?
Cheers!
Hey Atlflygirl,
Please look over the steps on this page of the iCloud User Guide to be sure you set up everything correctly: Add an email domain you already own to iCloud Mail on iCloud.com – Apple Support (UK)
If you did, please contact Apple Support directly to look into this issue further with you: Get Support
All the best.
I have exactly the same problem. Were you able to solve it?
Solved. It just took longer than expected.
