Mail.app - default iCloud smtp/imap set to Google
Hi everyone,
I stopped using Mail.app years ago because of big issues ... now getting back to it after all those years ... new issues! Will you make me love Mail.app again?
To start, I have my apple-id set with a "@gmail" address and I also have an "@icloud" address. Wanting to set up my Mail.app with my multiple mail accounts: "@gmail", "@outlook", all works... But my "@icloud" address can't be set on my Mail.app the easy way (trough my Apple ID > iCloud > Checking box "Mail") because the default IMAP/SMTP for iCloud email is set to... imap.gmail.com / smtp.gmail.com!
As you can see on the image, even when my primary apple-id username is set to "@icloud" (before it was on "@gmail") it just keeps giving me imap/smtp from Google...
I followed a lot of possible routes: removed all "com.apple.mail" and related directories in /Users/MyUser/Library, reseted other preferences, setting primary apple-id username to "@icloud", deleting all other mailboxes and personal SMTP servers, deleting old Tokens related to the "@gmail" address in Keychain... but this hard-coded iCloud configuration doesn't seem to be affected at all (see below):
If anyone knows where the config file for the default iCloud imap/smtp is stored.. I will be happy to ?finally? make this Mail.app work as intended...
PS: Adding the "@icloud" mail manually works.. but why then the iCloud configuration pane? :)
Thanks for reading my post and I hope that someone would be able to improve my Mail.app experience!
