Can't log on to Apple ID with icloud-mail on Macbook Air Hi, I recently changed my main Apple ID email from my gmail one to the icloud one. Everything works fine on my iphone and I can log on to icloud.com etc., but my Mac refuses to let me log in with the icloud-email. It tells me "An unkown error occurred", as in the screenshot. Has anyone else experienced this? My Mac is a 13 inch Macbook Air (Mid 2012) and running on Catalina 10.15.6. Thank you for any help.
