p12-imap.mail.me.com server

So if iCloud does not support a POP server on my pc and I inadvertently set up an account using iCloud System Preferences, apparently I won't see these settings because they're automatically configured. How do I eliminate this p12-imap.mail.me.com server?

Windows, Windows 6

Hi, westsidetkd.


It sounds like you were seeing a connection error for your iCloud email on your PC. If you’re still experiencing this, we’d like to see how we can help.


You’re absolutely correct in that your iCloud email settings are automatically configured with on your PC when you use iCloud for Windows. You won’t be able to alter the settings, but sometimes if you deselect Mail in iCloud for Windows to temporarily disable your account. Wait a few minutes and enable it again. iCloud for Windows should automatically reconfigure the server settings. 


It sounds like you may not be using your iCloud email account. If you have no plans to access it, you may want to leave it deselected.
