Q: iCloud mail on Kindle Fire

Yes you can manually configure the Kindle Fire email app to send and receive your iCloud email.

1. Setup your mail manually and choose "IMAP" for your account type.

2. Here are the iCloud settings. Be sure to choose the proper ports as specified here:

Incoming server settings

IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:

• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: example@me.com (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password

Outgoing server settings - IMPORTANT, choose the "TSL" for Authentication type on this screen.

SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:

• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: example@me.com (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password

When I use IMAP server: imap.mail.me.com I get an error "Setup could not finish. Username or password (or server name) incorrect. AuthenticationFailedException: Command: *sensitive*; response: #2# [NO, [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED], Authentication, failed] ImapException: Command: *sensitive*; response: #2# [NO, [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED], Authentication, failed]

In the outgoing setting, you only put in your user name minus the @me/mac.com,

therefore, if your user name is JohnXXX@me.com, or JohnXXX@mac.com, you would enter JohnXXX.

There is no TSL authentication option on outgoing server settings for my (new) Kindle Fire.  The only options are:

AUTOMATIC

LOGIN

PLAIN

CRAM_MDS

I've tried all of these and continue to get this message:

"We were unable to verify the provider's certificate.  Would you like to accept the certificate or decline and try again?"

When I press "Accept" it just comes back with the same message over and over again, until I press "Reject" and it takes me back to the screen.

Thanks for any help!

The TLS setting is under "security type," not "authentication type."  My settings look like this (and works):

smtp.me.com

TLS (always)

587

check (for required sign in)

automatic

[user name]

[password]

Good luck!

Thanks for this! It worked and it also worked on my Samsung Galaxy SII
