I keep getting this error message:
"There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “iCloud Email Account” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” on port 143 timed out."
Any ideas on this one? Just using the standard default icloud email.

Always post your OSX version, and what is it?
and
Port 143 is incorrect for iCloud Mail, it should be 993:
Here are full directions for an iCloud Mail account.
If your password does not meet these requirements change it:

Additional Information
SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud.
What about Advanced setting. Security. I show a (mismatch) saying "email does not match" ... Any suggestions.
Start your own thread, you have a different issue from this.
FYI Mail Preferences>Advanced>Security does not exist so when you a start your thread describe the issue more accurately.
Csound1,
No problem: I can start a new thread. but they are related in that Accounts Settings OUTLOOK 2011 (14.2.5) in my case. .I was updating setting to switch from [.me.com] to [icloud.com].
In Outlook 2011 I was speaking of <Tools><Accounts> <Accounts>settings. You will find <Advanced> and then <three tabs> one is labeled <Security> <DIgital Signing> <Certificate>< Drop down <none selected> is an option and then several others . If I select first part of my email without .icloud.com or me.com i see my account name with (mismatch email) beside it. Not sure what to do if anything... If I need to digital sign then what should I do.
And Yes I am new and very, very , very green on Macbook Pro (10.8.2)
I don't know how you get {Image} to take photo of page...? but that will get you there .
@Csound - Thank you I've been looking for hours for the smtp port.
You're welcome
