Download Smoothsync for Cloud Contacts (Play Store), and if you want calendars as well, Smoothsync for Cloud calendars will do that.

I greatly appreciate the direction on this however neither of these instructions is working in my case. Inbound mail immediately authenticated using the following:

INCOMING

Protocol = IMAP

Email Address = <name>@me.com

Username = <name>@me.com

Password = iCould password

IMAP Server = p01-imap.mail.me.com (imap.mail.me.com also worked)

Security Type = SSL (TLS did not work)

Server Port = 993

OUTGOING

Login required = checked and unchecked

Username = <name>@me.com

Password = iCloud password

SMTP Server = p01-smtp.mail.me.com (smtp.mail.me.com was also tested)

Security Type = TLS (SSL and None were also tested)

Server Port = 587

Outoing states "cannot connect to server". I am configuring this on a HTC One ATT device. Are there any alternative configurations that would work?

Have you tried the instructions from this page? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4979484

Also, see the changes that bobseabold mentioned for setting up account in GS3.

Yours was the first model for setup I used, testing both yours and "Bobs" suggestions. I am allowed to complete setup and can receive mail but when sending mail the item stays in Outbox.

You don't need the P number prefix on the servers, use imap.mail.me.com (incoming) and smtp.mail.me.com (outgoing), login is required for the outgoing server. This is with Android version 2.3.4, but should work on any Android phone,

If you want Contacts and Calendars as well I suggest that you use SmoothSync (available from Play Store) there are 2, one for Contacts and one for Calendars.

Although unsupported I have found that you can also use smtp.me.com for the outgoing server, but not always.

Additionally some people have found success by omitting the domain in the username (ie: myname, instead of myname@me.com) do it only for the smtp server as the imap side is working already.

Thank you for your reply. The following elements were changed:

1. Dropped p01 from inbound configuration - successfully authenticated

2. Dropped p01 from outbound configuration - could not connect to server

3. Modified SMTP server to smtp.me.com - could not connect to server

Try this set up

Outgoing:

SMTP server = smtp.mail.me.com

Port = 587

Security type = TLS (accept all certificates)

Require sign-in = Ticked

Authentication method = PLAIN

Username/password = Add your email address without the @me.com or @icloud.com at the end.

The main difference is missing off the @me.com. This works for some, not for others.

Hope this helps!

Thank you Sandman. I tried the settings but was still unable to connect to server. To further ensure consistency in process I want to note that I do not have the option to "accept all certificats" nor do I have the option to select "Authentication method".

Change your username to omit the @me.com

Unfortunately omitting the @me.com using smtp.me.com and smtp.mail.me.com was unsuccessful.

To level set, my present settings from top down on the Outgoing server are as follows:

Login required - checked

username - <name>

password - iCloud password

smtp server - smtp.mail.me.com

security type - TLS

port - 587

Sorry that did not work. One last suggestion which worked for some. Omit the @me.com on both the incoming & outgoing settings. I understand that incoming is working, but it may be that both must be the same for outgoing to work. As I say, some people had success with this.

Good luck!

i tried the following on my HTC One and all is working fine in regards to receving & sending emails, accessing subfolders,syncing etc. the only issue i have, and it may be hardware related possiblyis that i cannot save attachments to my phone. if i get emailed a file, i can view it but the download of the file itself does not go into the download folder as it should - if it goes elsewhere then i'm not sure where.
