10.6: Setting up the free iCloud account in Mail

10.6: Setting up the free iCloud account in Mail: This hint describes how to connect your free me.com iCloud account with Mail.app on Snow Leopard.



Open Mail and do the following:

• Set a new account (+) (in prefs on Mail.app).


• Set the new account to use IMAP (this is important).


• Set the incoming mail server: imap.mail.me.com.


• Set the outgoing mail server: p04-smtp.mail.me.com.


• Set the user name: yourname@me.com.


• Use the password associated with your AppleID.


• Turn SSL on (port 993).

That should do it.
