iCloud on Android 4.0.4 using default email client

Thank God I found this one...you're a lifesaver--it just stopped letting me in today for no reason! Of course, icloud.com and my itunes are fine, so that's why I was so frustrated. Any idea what might cause something like that? Did they change those server names recently?

People who migrated from MobileMe but are not using Lion have found that the MobileMe email server settings continue to work for a time, but then eventually stop. The iCloud server settings are different (Lion sets Mail up automaticallly) and have to be entered manually on older Mac systems or Android - they are as the OP has posted.

Thanks for this. These settings worked for me after several days of trying different settings to no avail.

Hi,

Im a long term iphone user with a MM/icloud account. Ive just this minute started to set up my new galaxy s3 and id bookedmarked this post to set up my mail. I went to add a new account for my MM email, which seemd to go well, then i thought id have to find the "adjust account seetings" place to do the above tweeks. Low and behold my inbox was already working!

All i put in my usual email/passwor into a new accout set up and it works! I think my S3 should be runng ice cream sandwich (i think, its new phone with vodaphone in Australia).

Many helpful hints here, though with ICS on my Razr Maxx, none went the distance. Here are some additional settings that finally made it happen, working from astorixx's (Trev's) post above:

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

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

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

NONE for security type

Tic "Require Sign-in"

Authentication is PLAIN

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

What a royal pain in the arse! Yet now it works like a charm and I'm lovin' the Razr!

Good luck, all!

This worked perfectly for me on my RAZR MAXX as well. Thanks nhlevin for your trouble!

My pleasure. Glad it worked out.

NHLEVIN, I just had to say Thanks! After several frustrating weeks I was able to get both my wife's and my Razr working with email given the road map you gave me.

Thanks So Much.

Excllent, glad to hear it!

Thanks so much for this! worked for me too!

Thanks so much for posting this! My MobilMe --> iCloud email has been coming through just fine until a few days ago. I tried several different solutions, but this is the only one that worked.

Thank you for posting the info. After not having my mac mail on my droid for several weeks it is now working because of you. No thanks to Verizon or Mac Support. They kept telling me I had to go to Mac support or go to Verizon support to get my mail back to my phone.

Astorixx, thanks very much for your tutorial, it worked the first time I tried using your steps.

Hi there,

i've got a galaxy note 2 and can't get this to work for the life of me. i've selected setup IMAP account and followed all of the above but to no avail.

can anybody shed any more light please?

thanks in advance

Cool. I needed that Outgoing "plain" setting. My phone seems to wig out though and alerts me that login to mobile me failed, but the email still goes out.
