iCloud mail on Kindle Fire

Well, yes I would like help. But I am not sure you can help me. The screenshot of the iCloud Account Details are from Mac OS 12 and 13. They are both the same. Yes, I am running the very latest OS. Take a look at your iCloud Account Details.

As I said the 2FA IS on.

I gave up on Apple and Amazon. I opened an Yahoo email account.

Went to Icloud and set up a rule to forward all my emails to my Yahoo accout,

then got my emails on my kindle.

I know Apple does not like this answer, but it works.

Apple, NY Times and others keep trying to lock you into their stuff in the name of security.

Find away around their restrictions is the easiest way

You still do not understand. I am giving up here. I will post on the Appleseed forum where I can get help. BTW this was all re Mac OS 10.12.5 not 13. They both have the same iCloud preference pane and Account Details.

They are making it too hard.

open a free account at yahoo mail, or gmail

then go to icloud and have all your emails forwarded to this account.

then set up this account on your kindle, and enjoy

not have to mess around with 2FA

I gave up on Apple and Amazon. I opened an Yahoo email account.

That'll teach Apple not to mess with people's un-need for security.

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 🙂
