Change ssl by tsl in outgoing server Configuration and ready

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.
