Setup icloud email in windows 8 issue

I am also having trouble, but I do know that you need a specific code before your "imap.mail.me.com". Mine is p01-blah blah blah. If you have a mac, you can look in the Accounts preferences and find that code. I will post as soon as I figure this out.

Also, the smtp server is smtp.me.com

Sorry I just noticed that things have changed. The servers you have are correct.

Turn Outgoing server requires authentication off

You're welcome

I have the same problem and Csound1's fix did work, thanks. But.... I want SSL on! Hopefully this can be fixed.

Unfortunately, I'm having the same problems but turning off SSL and/or authentication (I've tried both) hasn't worked to fix it. Any other suggestions?

Hello,

Are your setting just like Kiligula's (see the intial question) and in Windows 8 mail you unchecked only the second SSL authentication (under the smtp section) and when you return to your Me (or iCloud) Windows 8 mailbox your "sync" it?

This is what I did and then his solution worked. (Make sure your settings are EXACTLY as he stated with the outbound port at 587, everything checked except the SSL for the smtp section.

As for delzrock's comment, guess that can only be passed on to Apple if you still have support. (They do take even suggestions as well as technical issues via support.)

I am having the same problems, but the thing is none of the said settings work. I've tried different settings from different threads regarding this problem. Removed my account and setting it up again almost every day now. I'd get lucky once in a while the one email gets sent every time I reinstalled my account, but then it won't send again. Its soooooo stressful! This problem has left me stressed out since I got my computer 4days ago, because I cannot send emails to my clients. my ***@me.com email works fine in all my devices except my pc which works on windows8.

if any one can help me with the settings, I would very much appreciate it.

I can receive mails through my IMAP settings, but not through SMTP... my SSL is turned off and tried ports 25 and 587 already, but none of the ports are working for me.

Help!

SSL must be on.

Here are the correct settings, use them, not yours.

Thanks! Worked great! Though 50% of the time it fails.. Is that normal?

No, that is not normal, explain what happens (50%, do you mean every other mail, incoming mal only etc)

Mail does not successfully send every time especially for those with attachements. Mails without attachements usually send after 2 tries. I have a mail with an 8MB attachment that I've been trying to send for around 3 days now...

The iCloud mail size limit is 20MB, so that doesn't apply here. I have no idea why you can't send an 8MB attachment, you shoud be good up to (approx) 14-15MB.

Try asking in a Microsoft Office (or Outlook) forum.

I will try to do that. Thanks Csound1!

You're welcome.
