Solution for send and receive email in OIS device

Disable "Mail" and "Notes" in your iCloud settings. (We are replacing these two functions with our manual account)
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account... > Other > Add Mail Account
Fill in your name, Address (@me.com), password (for the iCloud mail account) and description.
Under IMAP tab, fill in the following:

Incoming Mail Server

Host Name: p04-imap.mail.me.com
User name: ("abc" if your email address is abc@me.com)

Outgoing Mail Server

Host Name: smtp.me.com
User Name: (again, "abc" if your email address is abc@me.com)
Password: (your email account password)

Next then Save. If everything is done properly, you should have your emails coming in, and notes syncing with your Mac.

If the incoming server host doesn't work for you, you can check the correct one in the Mail.app on your Mac, under "Preferences > Accounts".

Took me two days to figure out this workaround. Hope this solves your problem too

Hi ecloaiza, this is by far the best work around for iOS devices I have tried. How do we get your solution more widely published. There are thousands of users out there looking for this.

I tried to use p04-imap.me.com but it doesn't work. I solved using only imap.me.com as host name and I used the email address as user name. However this solution works. Thanks ecloaiza!!!
