Can I synchronize my ical + adressbook data with iCloud on MacOSX 10.5.8

Question

Can I synchronize my ical + adressbook data with iCloud on MacOSX 10.5.8

Hi,

we are using a PowerBook G4 17" with Leopard 10.5.8 in a network of 2 MacPro with SnowLepard 10.6.8 and 1 PowerMac G5 with Leopard 10.5.8 on it, in our Design-Studio. Using MobileMe everything works fine, synchronizing the Calendars and the AdressBook. Now MobileMe is running out and we want to continue synchronzing our Datas as we were used to it -- we don't want upgrade to OSX Lion.

Is there a way doing this in iCloud with these systems?

As far as I know, with Snow Leopard it should be possible, but what about the 2 Leopard-Systems?

Thank you for helping me solving this problem

Johannes

PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Not ical or AB directly, but a week or 2 ago I read about a 3rd party app that could, didn't mark the link though.

You can at least setup eMail on iCloud using 10.4.x/10.5.x &b have that sync anyway.

I understand .mac & MobileMe mail will still come through.

iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...

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

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
