iCloud on Android 4.0.4 using default email client

I have my iCloud email working on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus after an hour of stuffing around with settings. In an attempt to help others avoid the angst, here are the settings that are working on my phone.

INCOMING MAIL

Username: just the part before the @ symbol (eg. don't put the me.com part in)

Password: as it would be on any other device ;-)

IMAP server: imap.mail.me.com

Port: 993

Security type: SSL/TLS (Accept all certificates)

OUTGOING MAIL

SMTP server: smtp.mail.me.com

Port: 587

Security type: STARTTLS (accept all certificates)

Yes (ticked) Require sign-in.

Username: your full email address (eg. XXXXX@me.com)

Password: as it would be on any other device ;-)

Sure hope this works for you and saves you the angst I had to get the bl***y thing working!!

Trev.

NHLEVIN you are a genius, and so much nicer than the useless Apple support desk. I had to tweak the outgoing settings to get it to work with my HTC Sensation, but work it did. Thank you !!

Your instructions were :

[Protocol is IMAP]

Do not use @mac.com or @me.com after username

Incoming server is indeed: imap.mail.me.com

Port is indeed 993

Definitely select SSL/TLS and accept all certificates

Now here's the zinger: Authentication should be LOGIN

After figuring this out, I finally (after many hours of searching and testing) got to my outgoing server settings, which are:

smtp.me.com

port 587 Port: 25

NONE for security type Security: TLS

Tic "Require Sign-in"

Authentication is PLAIN

Username again without @me.com or @mac.com
