Setting up e-mail for Android?

Has anyone successfuly set up their Android phone to work with MobileMe/iCloud?


What were your settings?


I did search before I posted but none of those settings worked.


I would think this would be a straight forward process since it's pretty standardized.

You'll need to put these settings (works only for email):


MAP (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

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

After much frustration, I changed the settings to use SSL for outgoing and TSL for incoming. Then it worked.


Begin here for majority of settings EXCEPT use SSL for outgoing and TSL for incoming:


iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients


This discussion is where I found the suggestion to use SSL for outgoing and TSL for incoming:

For anyone who may be looking at this post, there exists a very simple mail synchronisation app on the Android store which will do all the work for you.


I personally found this application enough for my needs, and does everything I want. I also like the UI so no complaints there as well.


It also looks secure too since it connects directly to the Apple servers for authentication.


Here is the link for anyone interested:
