Outgoing mail server

Hello!


I feel like I am missing something really obvious. I can’t get my Mail set up on my iPhone 12 for my me.com account. Is it not smtp.mail.me.com?


Help please!

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.

SMTP information for the outgoing iCloud Mail server

  • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
  • SSL Required: Yes

  • Port: 587
  • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
  • Username: Your full iCloud Mail email address (for example, johnappleseed@icloud.com, not johnappleseed)
  • Password: Use the app-specific password that you generated when you set up the incoming mail server.
