Hello iPhone6plusAnne,


If you're looking to use iCloud Mail on a device that doesn't meet iCloud system requirements, this page that you may have come across will help to provide info on the needed server settings: iCloud Mail server settings for other email client apps - Apple Support


In the screenshot it looks like you're filling out the information for the incoming iCloud Mail server, which the page provides the following for:


IMAP information for the incoming iCloud Mail server
•Server name: imap.mail.me.com
•SSL Required: Yes
If you see an error message when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
•Port: 993
•Username: This is usually the name of your iCloud Mail email address (for example, johnappleseed, not johnappleseed@icloud.com). If your email client app can't connect to iCloud Mail using just the name of your email address, try using the full address.
•Password: Generate an app-specific password.


Note that the 'IMAP path prefix' in the screenshot is optional, so you may try leaving that blank.


Cheers.
