icloud mail + outlook doesn't work

Hey there!


I cant use icloud mail within outlook 2010. I always get a popup that says I have to re-enter my password.

I tried nearly everything ... but nothing worked.

I'm guessing apple is somehow refusing my connection ... but i don't know why. I use the icloud control panel to set everything up, I checked outlook-settings ... don't know what else I should do!

Does anybody have an idea or at best a solution?


My setup: win7, outlook 2010

PC-OTHER, Windows 7

If your password does not meet these requirements I would change it so that it does:


Minimum of 8 characters, including at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter and 1 number, no special characters.


Verify that you are using the correct server credentials:


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


Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead.

Additional Information

SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud.
