Configure iCloud mail on Android
So frustrating. I got Lion set up and immediately lost my email on my droid. I constantly got an error message that I my user name and password had not been entered correctly. After days of annoyance, I finally got my droid and my iCloud mail working together. And it wasn't anything in the droid settings. Actually, it wasn't anything in iCloud either. I changed my password. Hours of what is left of my life, wasted. I beg all of you, save yourselves. Try this. Here is a step by step tutorial for configuring your email client on Android phones (the setting works almost on all other devices). But first, change your password in iCloud. 1. Go to the native email client application and create a new account. 2. Fill your email address "xxxx@me.com or xxxx@mac.com" and password and click on the Manual Setup. 3. Choose IMAP 4. Cheat. Go to your desktop, laptop, whatever and copy the server settings from something that works. My laptop was: "p99-imap.mail.me.com" Others has found everything from "p01-imap.mail.me.com through p99-imap.mail.me.com" Yeah, you have to do the 'me' thing. Steve Jobs led a perfect life, with that one exception. But, you can keep the .mac email account if you have one already. 5. port: 993 and Security type : SSL. 6. On the following screen configure smtp server by entering these values SMTP Server: smtp.me.com Port: 587 Security type: TLS You need to check "Require Sign In" and provide your username and password. Keep in mind that your username should not be your full email id but just the part before @sign e.g enter sa123 for email id sa123@me.com. 7. Enter the values in option fields and enjoy your icloud mail on android. Note: You need to check your imap server as iCloud has assigned the different servers (p01-imap to p09-imap) to different email ids so check which one of the these works for you. You can also see this in your iOS device mail setting, use the same imap server for android.
